Geological Field Trips and Maps (GFT&M) is an online international journal edited by the Italian Geological Society and the Geological Survey of Italy - ISPRA. It publishes high-quality original geological and thematic maps with short notes, and geological guides relating to field excursions mainly offered during scientific conferences and workshops. The scientific quality of maps and guides is guaranteed by an international editorial board composed of experts in cartography and field geology belonging to various universities and national geological surveys. GFT&M is open access and without publication fees paid by the authors. It is indexed and its format allows the preservation, accessibility and citation over time of geological maps and guides, and the dissemination of field geology data to the widest audience.

Aims & Scope: The aim of GFT&M is to promote field geology by making field geology data available to the broadest international audience, including the description of field trips held during scientific conferences and workshops. Geological guides and maps considered for publication in GFT&M may cover a wide range of topics related to Earth and planetary sciences, including stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleontology, structural geology, volcanology, petrology, metamorphic geology, geomorphology, engineering geology, tectonics and planetary geology, in areas of high geological interest. Emphasis is given to innovative techniques and applications. High-quality maps derived from national mapping projects (e.g., the Italian CARG Project etc.) that aim to summarize or explore in more detail specific scientific topics at an appropriate scale are also welcome. It is indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCIE), Web of Science, Current Contents/Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences (CC/PC&ES).
