Island Arc welcomes submission of manuscripts concerned with all geological studies that have a broad interest. The scope of the journal is indicated by the list of 'keywords' given below and covers fields such as the dynamics and evolution of convergent plate 
boundaries and the geology of oceanic and continental domains including sedimentary basins and climate systems. Timely manuscripts of immediate importance to other researchers by virtue of their new data, results, or ideas will be given priority in consideration for publication.

Island Arc publishes peer-reviewed articles and reviews. Original scientific articles are published promptly with a standard publication time from submission of 3 months. All articles are peer reviewed by at least two research experts in the field of the submitted paper.
