Field guide papers are not merely field site descriptions; they must include an explanation of their tectonic significance and a review of the current state of the art.
We already have two field guide manuscripts in the review pipeline. We are waiting for yours !

Do you know that Tektonika #DOAJ publishes Field Guide papers?
Such papers are "concise accounts of key localities within geological areas of interest, providing insights into key structural geology and #tectonic concepts."
Don't hesitate to send us manuscripts or consult our editors!

Screenshot of top of web page about AI usage. Text says: Tektonika guidelines about AI usage, version 2, January 2026. All results produced with the help of various AI tools are ultimately the responsibility of those submitting articles for review. In other words, if it was produced by AI, it is the authors’ obligation to carefully review the results, in order to ensure their accuracy and validity. Authors must also pay attention to possible copyright or authorship issues, for example when analysing datasets from external sources with AI tools, or using such tools to synthetise scientific literature. These general principles are broken down below according to the different types of usage.
At Tektonika #DOAJ we have updated our guidelines about #AI usage.
Version 2 is there: tektonika.online/index.php/ho...
Our upcoming editorial, publishing soon, will explore these guidelines and our editor's opinions about AI.
Interesting reading here 👇 about #AI, #teaching in Universities, and assessing student's #knowledge building and understanding.
No simple answer. We cannot remain in a position of total rejection (for valuable ethical reasons), nor of uncontrolled acceptance.

They write: #AI promises rapid and polite review on papers
BUT also that:
"LLMs can provide feedback in seconds, potentially without conflicts of interest. But there is a big difference between a process that is efficient and one that is valid." ⚒️ 🧪

Great pleasure to inform you that TEKTONIKA #DOAJ is in the #open-access database OpenAlex ! ⚒️
OpenAlex is a free, open alternative to WOS or SCOPUS which are under paywall. It even records more sources, in particular in humanities.

4/n - In our volume2, issue 2, editorial @fabiocrameri.ch and @drlperezdiaz.bsky.social wrote about the "Role of Science Visuals in Geoscience" 👇 ⚒️

3/n - In our volume 2, issue 1, our editorial 👇 aimed to thank our reviewers and authors, and say some words about the review process ⚒️

2/n - Editorial of our second issue was about "Writing Modern Geoscience" 👇 by Randy Williams ⚒️

As we are finalising our next editorial to close Tektonika #DOAJ volume 3, we invite you to read or re-read previous ones, starting from 👇
"Tektonika: The Community-Led Diamond Open-Access Journal for Tectonics and Structural Geology" ⚒️

Basic principle: any use of AI by authors must be declared, and justified, and must follow the rules detailed in our guidelines 👇
Respect transparency and #openscience #ethics
A very important point for our reviewers: It's strictly prohibited for them to use online AI tools to summarize or evaluate submitted manuscripts.
Uploading a manuscript, or part of it, to third-party systems breaches manuscript's confidentiality and authorship rights. ⚒️

At Tektonika #DOAJ we now have guidelines about #AI usage. We encourage our authors and reviewers to carefully read them. ⚒️ 🧪
We will explain those guidelines and comment on AI usage in our next editorial.
