Submissions to AGRL originate from researchers based in over 90 countries. Corresponding authors from Asia-Pacific account for approximately 34% of published articles, followed by Europe (31%), North America (22%), and the Global South (13%). AGRL actively encourages submissions from researchers based in regions historically under-represented in high-impact geoscience publishing.
AGRL requires a data availability statement in all published articles and encourages deposition of primary research data in recognised community repositories (e.g. Pangaea, NERC data centres, Zenodo, Figshare). Code availability statements are required for all manuscripts employing custom computational tools. The journal participates in Registered Reports for hypothesis-driven studies where appropriate.
