SSA Journals

Welcome to BSSA and SRL – the Society’s world-class journals that share the best in basic and applied research, databases, tools and public policy.

The Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA) is the premier journal of advanced research in earthquake seismology and related disciplines.

Seismological Research Letters is a peer-reviewed journal intended to reach a broad geoscience audience and to support communication among seismologists, engineers and earthquake hazards professionals. Research papers highlight recent seismic events and contemporary topics such as induced seismicity, large-N deployments and nuclear monitoring. Other articles assess new instrumentation, methods and software, and describe data collections or field deployments of interest to the seismological community. Periodic focus sections present papers on timely topics such as significant earthquakes or hazard assessments.

The Seismic Record launched in February 2021. This open access, online-only peer-reviewed journal features short-form articles on the broad range of seismology and earthquake science.
