Organic Geochemistry (ISSN 0146-6380) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Elsevier. The journal describes its scope as including "research involving petroleum (including natural gas), coal, organic matter in the aqueous environment and recent sediments, organic-rich rocks and soils and the role of organics in the geochemical cycling of the elements" and claims to be "the only dedicated medium for ... research on all phases of geochemistry in which organic compounds play a major role."[1] The current editors-in-chief are James Maxwell of the University of Bristol and Lloyd Snowdon of the University of Calgary.[1] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2011 impact factor of 2.785.[2]
A search in Web of Science on January 13, 2013, showed that the two most cited papers in the journal's history were about the difficuly in using sterol distributions as markers for the origins of organic matter[3] (cited 702 times) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in British Columbia's Fraser River basin[4] (cited 691 times).
