The International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks is a referenced multidisciplinary international journal focused on the management, assessment, policies, education, tourism, interpretation, economics, museology, protection, nature resilience, forest therapy, and sustainable development of global geoheritage and parks. This journal seeks to promote divergent and pluralistic visions, ideas, and opinions regarding geoheritage and parks.

Published papers are ideally based on both conceptual and empirical studies and are primarily focused on geoheritage and parks.

The International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks is an interdisciplinary academic journal and its scope is broad in both methodology and content. Studies on geoheritage and parks, including geoparks, national parks, protected areas, World Heritage sites, and other globally significant sites recognized for their geological and geographical values, are welcomed. Natural and physical scientists writing to a social science audience are also welcome contributors. To the extent possible, we aim to make this journal cross-disciplinary and transnational in scope.

All articles published in this journal are subjected to a rigorous peer view, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
