Habitable Planet is a peer reviewed international interdisciplinary open access journal belonging to the International Association for Gondwana Research (IAGR). The journal aims to promote high quality research publications across diverse fields of Earth and Environmental Sciences covering the history of evolution of planet Earth, resources, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere, particularly focusing on the planet Earth’s habitability. Interdisciplinary topics of natural hazards, environment-related socio-economic issues, and intercultural aspects in the context of sustainability are also considered. The journal also welcomes contributions on studies related to planetary equivalents. The journal promotes and disseminates scientific information among researchers, students, academics as well as policy and decision makers with a view to serving the global community. More
Articles submitted to Habitable Planet before 31 December 2026 will be published as Open Access with no Article Processing Charge (APC) payable by the authors.
