GAIA is an Earth Science journal published by the University of Lisbon and
the Museu Nacional de Historia Natural (of Portugal).  The full title of the
journal is "GAIA: Revista de Geociencias do Museu Nacional de Historia
Natural da Universidade de Lisboa".  Publications are in English and
Portuguese, and more often then not in the former.

Until the mid-1990s it was not particularly famous for vertebrate
paleontology articles, but since the 1994 volume "Aspects of Sauropod
Paleobiology" they have increased the number of dinosaur papers.

There is a website for the journal is:
