Abstract
It is with great satisfaction that we disclose the creation of Journal of Sedimentary Environments (JSE), an open access journal that allows online publication of important articles in the fields of Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, Paleontology, Archeology, Biology (associated with sedimentary environments), Speleology, Biogeography, Oceanography, Environmental Sciences, Geophysics, Geochemistry, Energy Resources and related fields. The JSE was designed by the Department of Stratigraphy and Paleontology (DEPA), Faculty of Geology (FGEL) at the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) in order to fill a gap in Brazilian geoscientific research: the absence of a focused journal for the area of Sedimentary Geology. Given the representativeness and authority of the Brazilian community in this field of research, it is of fundamental importance to create a channel for communication and integration between Brazilian and foreign geoscientists. We believe that the JSE will play an important role in this process. The JSE is a quarterly journal (four issues per year) in English and rigorously peer-reviewed. Its editorial board is composed of renowned national and foreign researchers from different areas of Sedimentary Geology, which are also editors of important journals focused on geosciences worldwide. The creation of the JSE is also a tribute to the great masters of Sedimentary Geology who had and have a very important role, not only for the Faculty of Geology at UERJ and for Rio de Janeiro State, but also for Brazilian Geology: Maria Antonieta da Conceição Rodrigues, Hernani Aquini Fernandes Chaves, Jorge Carlos Della Fávera, Pedro de Césero ( in memoriam ) and René Rodrigues. doi: 10.12957/jse.2016.21720
