The Journal of Structural Geology publishes process-oriented investigations about structural geology using appropriate combinations of analog and digital field data, seismic reflection data, satellite-derived data, geometric analysis, kinematic analysis, laboratory experiments, computer visualizations, and analogue or numerical modelling on all scales. Contributions are encouraged to draw perspectives from rheology, rock mechanics, geophysics,metamorphism, sedimentology, petroleum geology, economic geology, geodynamics, planetary geology, tectonics and neotectonics to provide a more powerful understanding of deformation processes and systems. Given the visual nature of the discipline, supplementary materials that portray the data and analysis in 3-D or quasi 3-D manners, including the use of videos, and/or graphical abstracts can significantly strengthen the impact of contributions.

《結(jié)構(gòu)地質(zhì)學(xué)雜志》出版了關(guān)于結(jié)構(gòu)地質(zhì)學(xué)的面向過程的調(diào)查報(bào)告，使用模擬和數(shù)字現(xiàn)場數(shù)據(jù)、地震反射數(shù)據(jù)、衛(wèi)星獲得的數(shù)據(jù)、幾何分析、運(yùn)動學(xué)分析、實(shí)驗(yàn)室實(shí)驗(yàn)、計(jì)算機(jī)可視化以及各種規(guī)模的模擬或數(shù)值模型的適當(dāng)組合。鼓勵從流變學(xué)、巖石力學(xué)、地球物理學(xué)、變質(zhì)學(xué)、沉積學(xué)、石油地質(zhì)學(xué)、經(jīng)濟(jì)地質(zhì)學(xué)、地球動力學(xué)、行星地質(zhì)學(xué)、構(gòu)造學(xué)和新構(gòu)造學(xué)等方面作出貢獻(xiàn)，以便對變形過程和系統(tǒng)有更有力的了解。鑒于該學(xué)科的視覺特性，以3d或準(zhǔn)3d方式描述數(shù)據(jù)和分析的補(bǔ)充材料，包括使用視頻和/或圖形摘要，可以顯著增強(qiáng)貢獻(xiàn)的影響。
