Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue titled "Tectonic Evolution and Paleogeography of Plate Boundaries". This Special Issue presents a collection of cutting-edge research and advancements in understanding the Earth's past geographies and the processes that have shaped its tectonic evolution. The main emphasis is on plate boundary processes, which juxtapose tectonic units of different paleogeographic origin through superimposed tectonic processes.
The articles in this Special Issue cover a wide range of topics, including paleogeographic reconstructions, plate tectonics, paleoclimatology, sedimentary basin analysis, petrochronology, and provenance studies and aim to serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers, geoscientists, and anyone interested in Earth's geological past.
Contributions to this Special Issue will be rigorously peer-reviewed to ensure the highest quality of research and scholarship. We invite researchers to submit their latest findings and insights surrounding the complex interplay between geology, climate, and tectonic processes that have influenced the development of our planet.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and publishing the latest advancements in paleogeography and tectonic evolution.
Prof. Dr. Franz Neubauer

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Geosciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
