BSSA Call for Papers: New Deadline for Earthquake Forecasting
Seismological Society of America
New Deadline for Submission: 31 March 2026
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1975 Ms 7.3 Haicheng earthquake in northeast China--an event widely recognized as a significant milestone in seismological history. It remains arguably the only major earthquake to have been "officially predicted" prior to its occurrence, making it a landmark case in the study of earthquake precursors and forecasting.
This special issue seeks to capture a range of perspectives and recent scientific developments in earthquake forecasting and measuring and understanding precursory processes and phenomena in the earthquake cycle.
New Deadline for Submission: 31 March 2026
Articles accepted to this BSSA Special Issue will be published online soon after acceptance and collectively in print in the October 2026 issue. Papers will be reviewed as they are received and published online prior to the print issue.
In preparing manuscripts, authors must follow the BSSA author guidelines at www.seismosoc.org/publications/bssa-submission-guidelines/. Papers must be submitted via the BSSA online submission system (www.editorialmanager.com/bssa/) under the category “Earthquake Forecasting.”
