構造物理學是在大地構造學、地殼和內部的地質學和物理學領域發表重要的原始研究和綜合評論的國際媒介。編輯委員會由來自世界各地的杰出科學家組成，代表了該雜志涵蓋的許多學科。提交的論文必須經過同行評審，以確保保持所需的科學優秀標準。包括區域和板塊構造、地殼運動、地幔結構和動力學、地震學、海洋地球物理學、重力學、巖石學、熱流學、巖石學和古地磁等所有與地殼和地幔地質學和地球物理學有關的學科。在較小的地質學范圍內，結構地質學科目包括褶皺、斷裂、破裂、應力和應變分析、巖石組構、微觀結構、巖石力學和礦物物理學的所有方面。頻繁出現的大型地質圖、地震剖面圖等，是一個值得注意的特點。此外，還出版了專門討論一個主題并由該領域的一個權威編輯的特別問題。

Tectonophysics is an international medium for the publication of significant original research studies and comprehensive reviews in the fields of geotectonics, and geology and physics of the earth's crust and interior. The Editorial Board, composed of prominent scientists from around the world, is representative of the many disciplines covered by the journal. Submitted papers are subject to peer review to ensure that the required standard of scientific excellence is maintained.All subjects relating to the geology and geophysics of the Earth's crust and mantle are covered, including regional- and plate tectonics, crustal movements, mantle structure and dynamics, seismology, marine geophysics, gravity, petrology, heat flow, rock- and palaeomagnetism. On a geologically smaller scale, the structural geology subjects covered include all aspects of folding, faulting, fracturing, stress- and strain analysis, petrofabrics, microstructures, rock mechanics and mineral physics. The frequent large scale geological maps, seismic sections and other diagrams, are a noteworthy feature. In addition Special Issues devoted to a single topic, and edited by an authority in that field, are also published.
