Journal Descriptions

Meteoritics & Planetary Science is a leading interdisciplinary journal that publishes high-quality original research and reviews spanning the broad domain of planetary science and meteoritics. Since its founding in 1953 as Meteoritics, the journal has evolved to encompass a diverse range of topics examining the origin, composition, and history of Solar System materials and processes. With a monthly publication schedule, the journal features original articles, invited reviews, editorials, and book reviews, offering new insights into subjects such as the formation of meteorite parent bodies, cosmochemical evolution, isotopic and mineralogical characterization of extraterrestrial samples, the dynamics of small bodies, and impacts and surface processes on planets and moons. The scope of the journal integrates traditional astronomical and astrophysical perspectives with geophysics, chemistry, isotope geochemistry, mineralogy, geology, and Earth science to address fundamental questions about planetary systems. Its readership includes researchers in academia, space agencies, and scientific laboratories worldwide. Published by Wiley-Blackwell for the Meteoritical Society, Meteoritics & Planetary Science is widely indexed in major scientific databases such as Science Citation Index Expanded and Scopus. The journal’s hybrid open access model allows authors to make selected papers freely available, augmenting dissemination of significant scientific findings.
