(McLean, VA) November 6, 2023 – GeoScienceWorld (GSW) is pleased to announce that The Journal of Geology, published by the University of Chicago Press (UCP), is now available in our domain-leading collection of earth science research journals. One of the longest-running journals in geology, it promotes the systematic philosophical and fundamental study of geology and includes a broad range of subfields including continental and oceanic tectonics, geobiology, geochemistry, geoscience education, geomorphology, petrology, geophysics, mineralogy, planetary geology, sedimentology, structural geology, and volcanology.
“By partnering with GSW, we are expanding the reach and exposure of the significant scholarship published in The Journal of Geology, one of the oldest journals in its field,” said Journals Director Ashley Towne. “The agreement coincides with the journal’s launch of the Alfred T. Anderson Journal of Geology Best Paper Award, which provides a cash prize to exceptional work published in the journal during the previous three years. We hope GSW readers will consider submitting their own outstanding work to the journal for consideration.”
“The Journal of Geology expands the scope of GSW’s geoscience content by providing well respected articles in petrology, paleontology, stratigraphy, as well as structural and surface geology. The result will bring a greater balance of geology subject categories and over 1,200 new articles to our platform,” said Phoebe McMellon, CEO of GeoScienceWorld.
