構(gòu)造物理學(xué)是在大地構(gòu)造學(xué)、地殼和內(nèi)部的地質(zhì)學(xué)和物理學(xué)領(lǐng)域發(fā)表重要的原始研究和綜合評論的國際媒介。編輯委員會由來自世界各地的杰出科學(xué)家組成，代表了該雜志涵蓋的許多學(xué)科。提交的論文必須經(jīng)過同行評審，以確保保持所需的科學(xué)優(yōu)秀標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。包括區(qū)域和板塊構(gòu)造、地殼運(yùn)動、地幔結(jié)構(gòu)和動力學(xué)、地震學(xué)、海洋地球物理學(xué)、重力學(xué)、巖石學(xué)、熱流學(xué)、巖石學(xué)和古地磁等所有與地殼和地幔地質(zhì)學(xué)和地球物理學(xué)有關(guān)的學(xué)科。在較小的地質(zhì)學(xué)范圍內(nèi)，結(jié)構(gòu)地質(zhì)學(xué)科目包括褶皺、斷裂、破裂、應(yīng)力和應(yīng)變分析、巖石組構(gòu)、微觀結(jié)構(gòu)、巖石力學(xué)和礦物物理學(xué)的所有方面。頻繁出現(xiàn)的大型地質(zhì)圖、地震剖面圖等，是一個值得注意的特點(diǎn)。此外，還出版了專門討論一個主題并由該領(lǐng)域的一個權(quán)威編輯的特別問題。

Tectonophysics is an international medium for the publication of significant original research studies and comprehensive reviews in the fields of geotectonics, and geology and physics of the earth's crust and interior. The Editorial Board, composed of prominent scientists from around the world, is representative of the many disciplines covered by the journal. Submitted papers are subject to peer review to ensure that the required standard of scientific excellence is maintained.All subjects relating to the geology and geophysics of the Earth's crust and mantle are covered, including regional- and plate tectonics, crustal movements, mantle structure and dynamics, seismology, marine geophysics, gravity, petrology, heat flow, rock- and palaeomagnetism. On a geologically smaller scale, the structural geology subjects covered include all aspects of folding, faulting, fracturing, stress- and strain analysis, petrofabrics, microstructures, rock mechanics and mineral physics. The frequent large scale geological maps, seismic sections and other diagrams, are a noteworthy feature. In addition Special Issues devoted to a single topic, and edited by an authority in that field, are also published.
