Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As one of the important members of the clean renewable energy family, the development of geothermal resources has been gaining increasing attention; especially when facing the pressure of carbon neutrality and carbon emission reduction, the development of geothermal resources has become an important choice for many countries. Driven by the demand, both geothermal exploration technology and geothermal development have made great progress. High-temperature drilling technology continues to make breakthroughs, ground source heat pump technology has emerged to occupy a large geothermal market, medium- and low-temperature geothermal power generation technology continues to make breakthroughs in power generation increasing year by year, and hot dry rock development exploration is booming everywhere, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically sort out the geothermal exploration and development work in different regions in order to provide reference for geothermal resource development in other regions in the future. To this end, we present a Special Issue of Resources focusing on the exploration and management of geothermal resources, publishing high-quality research in this field.
Areas of research for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Regional geothermal resource distribution and potential;
- Geothermal resource exploration;
- Direct utilization of geothermal resources;
- Geothermal power generation;
- Hot dry rock resource development;
- Geothermal development environmental response.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Resources is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
