Geological Society Special Publication

Scope

Special Publications are renowned throughout the global geoscience community for their high quality of science and production. They represent a state-of-the-art treatment of their subject matter. Although they do not have to be comprehensive (they are not text books), we expect the editors to provide a balanced coverage of the subject matter. The Society has high standards of quality control for book proposals, and the volume editors are required to undertake full peer review of all papers to the standards expected for our journals. The Geological Society is actively commissioning new volumes for the series, and will consider all branches of the Earth sciences except engineering geology for this series. Most, but not all, result from conferences. However, they are not conference proceedings. We will consider proposals from independent meetings and those of other organisations.
