《澳大利亞地球科學雜志》發表同行評議的研究論文以及地球科學家普遍感興趣的重要評議文章。該期刊涵蓋了盆地研究、區域地球物理研究和成礦學等整個地球科學領域。通常每年都會有一個專題專題，精選一些關于地球科學某一特定領域的論文。鼓勵發表篇幅較短的論文，并給予優先發表。也鼓勵對最近發表的論文進行批判性討論。

Australian Journal of Earth Sciences publishes peer-reviewed research papers as well as significant review articles of general interest to geoscientists. The Journal covers the whole field of earth science including basin studies, regional geophysical studies and metallogeny. There is usually a thematic issue each year featuring a selection of papers on a particular area of earth science. Shorter papers are encouraged and are given priority in publication. Critical discussion of recently published papers is also encouraged.
