Ancient TL

About the Journal

Ancient TL (electronic ISSN 2693-0935) is a community-based, not-for-profit, peer-reviewed, diamond open access journal with bi-annual issues in June and December. It is devoted to theoretical and experimental luminescence and electron spin resonance (ESR) research. This includes research on environmental dose rate, rock thermal histories (e.g., low-temperature thermochronometry) and mineral provenance and characterisation. Manuscripts on luminescence and ESR dating, on software codes, numerical models and on instrumentation are also welcome. Ancient TL also publishes interlaboratory comparisons, standardisation procedures, failed experiments, as well as observations difficult to explain. Following Ancient TL’s tradition, manuscripts about practical aspects of laboratory and field work are explicitly welcome.

Periodically, Ancient TL publishes an up-to-date bibliography, thesis abstracts, and miscellaneous information for the community. Accepted articles are published immediately online (rolling publishing) before being included in one of the bi-annual issues.
