BALTICA was founded as the Yearbook in 1961 on
the initiative of Academician Vytautas Gudelis: seven volumes were published from
1963 to 1982.As a response to a rapid development of scientific knowledge about
the Earth, Baltic States and the Baltic Sea, the Yearbook was transformed into
an international scientific journal in 2004. The BALTICA journal became a
platform for research papers on Quaternary geology, climate change, development
of ecosystems, palaeogeography, environmental geology, stratigraphy, tectonics,
sedimentology, and surface processes, with a particular focus on the geological
history of the Baltic Sea. From 1993 to 2018, Academician Algimantas Grigelis was
the Editor-in-Chief of BALTICA. Since 2008, BALTICA is indexed in the ISI
Thomson Reuters (currently, Clarivate Analytics) Web on Science list. In 2013,
the journal was indexed by CiteFactor (Academic Scientific Journals) (Key
Factor 26). Since 2012, BALTICA papers are registered by the DOI (Digital
Object Identifier) code system, prefix 10/5200. Since 2010, the journal
participates in the iThenticate
(CrossCheck) programme; in 2014, it became a member of CrossRef Association.
Currently, BALTICA
is an international periodical peer-reviewed journal on various issues of Earth
sciences: geology, palaeontology, geophysics, physical geography, and oceanology.
Manuscripts from different countries are welcome; however, the Baltic region
and the Baltic Sea problems are the priority. The journal offers original
research articles, short reviews, research news, and bibliographic data.
BALTICA is issued biannually (in June and December). The journal and separate
articles are marked by the ©Baltica Copyright.
