'''''Geoscientific Model Development''''' (GMD) is an [[open access (publishing)|open access]] publication of the [[European Geosciences Union]]. It is an international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of the description, development and evaluation of numerical models of the Earth System and its components. Manuscript types considered for peer-reviewed publication are:

* Development and Technical papers, describing development such as new parameterisationsparametrisations or technical aspects of running models such as the reproducibility of results

* Geoscientific model descriptions, from box models to [[Global climate model|General circulation models (GCMs)]]

* Development and Technical papers, describing development such as new parameterisations or technical aspects of running models such as the reproducibility of results

* Papers describing new standard experiments for assessing model performance, or novel ways of comparing model results with observational data

* Model intercomparison descriptions, including experimental details and project protocols

The journal has a two-stage publication process. In the first stage, papers that pass a rapid access peer-review are immediately published on the ''Geoscientific Model Development Discussions (GMDD)'' website. They are then subject to interactive public discussion, during which the referees' comments (anonymous or attributed), additional short comments by other members of the scientific community (attributed) and the authors' replies are also published in GMDD. In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and, if accepted, the final revised papers are published in GMD.''Geoscientific GMDDModel andDevelopment''. GMDBoth publications are both ISSN-registered, permanently archived, and fully citable. All contributions to the discussion are also permanently archived and fully citable.

GMD has an innovative two-stage publication process involving the scientific discussion forum Geoscientific Model Development Discussions (GMDD), which has been designed to
