Where shall we submit?

I am thinking of GP at the moment, but I am very open to suggestions.

Moouuzi commented 5 years ago

I'm not that familiar with journals so far, anyway:

What do you think about Solid Earth? There are a couple of software papers published in this journal, the impact is higher than in the classical geophysical journals and our work is probably interesting for not only EM geophysicists. In addtion, one of my collegues experienced recently a very good handling, (open) review process and type setting.

I want to suggest "Surveys in Geophysics", this also has a much higher impact (5.226) than GP, Geophysics, C&G, and Solid Earth. The review process is too simple, fast, and well managed (according to a colleague).

Also, I join Raphael's idea. It is important to expand our work to non-geophysical communities. However, this could be a negative factor if we do not consider relevant cases to such communities. Therefore, I believe it is possible, as long as we are careful in defining the test cases.

Geoscientific Model Development with the EGU is another option that might be a good fit - it also has a high impact factor (5.154)

I don't know "Surveys in Geophysics" all that well, but it does look like it could be a good fit, as could "Geophysical Prospecting". Do they have a reasonable ArXiv policy? That is one thing I am less excited about Geophysics with (https://seg.org/Publications/Policies-and-Permissions/Open-Access-Policy)...

I think the Surverys in Geophysics is also open:

The GMD is a good option too..

Moouuzi commented 5 years ago

If you think Surveys in Geophysics or GMD are adequate for our work, I'd prefer these over all the other possibilities.

All,

I am currently writing every day a little bit (writing is a slow, painful process in my case), so hopefully we can proceed soon(ish). Work on the paper is currently in the branch paper, https://github.com/prisae/3d-csem-open-source-landscape/tree/paper. I suggest the following procedure:

  1. Draft in sphinx This is just to generate content. Figures don't have to be nice nor complete, results don't have to be correct yet, formatting is secondary, some stuff can be missing entirely (e.g., runtime tables etc). Make a round to all authors.
  2. Decide on journal Then get the appropriate LaTeX format and put everything in.
  3. First round in LaTeX Focus here should be to get all the result in, from all modellers. Make round to all authors. This round will be the most intensive one, with direct interaction of each author with me to incorporate each result in the figures etc.
  4. Loop with LaTeX draft Probably 2-3 more rounds to all authors, starting to finish up the stuff and polish. In-between one of these rounds we might also show it to someone outstanding for some feedback.

With round to all authors I thought of passing it along in the following order:

This is, as of now, also the order of authors I thought of, based on the amount of contribution so far. Is that OK for everyone, or does anyone feel left out?

I expect to have a first draft by the end of the month to pass it along to Raphael.

Hi Dieter,

Yes, writing is a very demanding task ... cheer up!

I agree with your proposal (procedure, author order, etc.)

prisae commented 4 years ago

We decided in the meeting to submit to GJI. Main motivation is that the MT modelling and inversion paper (Miensopust et al., 2013) was also published in GJI.
