Quaternary Science Reviews caters for all aspects of Quaternary science, and includes, for example, geology, geomorphology, geography, archaeology, soil science, palaeobotany, palaeontology, palaeoclimatology and the full range of applicable dating methods. The dividing line between what constitutes the review paper and one which contains new original data is not easy to establish, so QSR also publishes papers with new data especially if these perform a review function, or can be so adapted for a wider perspective, for example, as in methods of dating. All the Quaternary sciences are changing rapidly and subject to re-evaluation as the pace of discovery quickens; thus the eclectic and comprehensive role of Quaternary Science Reviews keeps readers abreast of the wider issues relating to new developments in the field. Quaternary Science Reviews includes occasional issues devoted to Quaternary Geochronology, with the aim of providing Quaternary geologists, geomorphologists and archaeologists with a reference source discussing progress and problems of dating techniques applicable to the Quaternary. These issues will focus on review papers, systematic studies, intercomparisons and progress reports and occasional conference proceedings.
