《地震學雜志》是一本國際期刊，專門研究與地震發生有關的所有觀測和理論方面。編輯們將地震學視為一項廣泛的跨學科工作，在觀測、建模和應用方面具有良好的平衡性。主題包括地震構造學、地震活動性、歷史地震活動性、震源物理學、強地震動研究、地震危險或風險、工程地震學、斷層系統物理學、觸發和誘發地震活動性、采礦地震學、火山地震學、地震預測、從局部到區域的結構調查。全球研究，特別關注被動實驗。《地震學雜志》發表了簡短的交流和擴展的評論文章。

The Journal of Seismology is an international journal specializing in all observational and theoretical aspects related to earthquake occurrence. The editors approach Seismology as a broad interdisciplinary effort, with well balanced observational, modeling and applied aspects.Topics include seismotectonics, seismicity, historical seismicity, seismic source physics, strong ground motion studies, seismic hazard or risk, engineering seismology, physics of fault systems, triggered and induced seismicity, mining seismology, volcano seismology, earthquake prediction, structural investigations ranging from local to regional and global studies with a particular focus on passive experiments.The journal publishes short communications as well as extended review papers.
