Analele Universităţii "Al. I. Cuza" had its first issue in September 1900, as Annales Scientifiques de l'Université de Jassy; scientific papers in geology (mineralogy, petrography, ore and oil deposits, paleontology), published in French, can be found from the very beginning of the journal. Over the years, the publication split in sections and series; thus, articles in geology appeared in Section II, Natural Sciences, either in a Geology-Geography series or in a Geology series separately. Nowadays the former series is continued by Analele Ştiinţifice ale Universităţii "Al. I. Cuza", Serie noua (New Series), Geologie (Geology).

Analele Universităţii "Al. I. Cuza", Seria Geologie deals with a multidisciplinary coverage of a large range of fields in geology and geochemistry; the articles published in this journal cover both mere scientific topics and geosciences topics having economic issues. The journal encourages the exchange of concepts and data, in particular to promote sustainable development of a large range of topics in geosciences. In addition to research papers, AUI-G will contain review articles, case histories and book reviews.

AUI-G is indexed in GeoRef (American Geological Institute), Genamics JournalSeek (the largest completely categorized database of freely available journal information on the internet), Library of Congress online Catalog, ProQuest (Science Journals database and Illustrata: Technology), Electronic Journals Library and in I.A.V.C.E.I. (International Association of Vulcanology and Chemistry of Earth’s Interior) Reports. AUI-G is also quoted by Thomson on-line database.

Starting with 2009 (vol. LV), Analele Universității ”Al. I. Cuza”, Seria Geologie has 2 issues per year (July/December).
