The journal's scope covers the principles of geochronological methods, their analytical procedures, and instrumentation, such as Luminescence dating,^[1] Tephrochronology,^[2] or Surface exposure dating.^[3] To that end, the journal is a platform for new and groundbreaking applications targeting the timing of events and processes in the Quaternary Period.

The journal was launched by Rainer Grün in 2006^[4] as a stand-alone journal to cover discovery in the field Quaternary Geochronology as research discipline. Before, articles from that field were published as a subsection in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews.
