Scottish Journal of Geology

期刊简介：Although published only since 1965, the Scottish Journal of Geology has a long pedigree. It is the joint publication of the Geological Society of Glasgow and the Edinburgh Geological Society, which prior to 1965 published separate Transactions: from 1860 in the case of Glasgow and 1863 for Edinburgh.Traditionally, the Journal has acted as the focus for papers on all aspects of Scottish geology and its contiguous areas, including the surrounding seas. The publication policy has always been outward looking, with the Editors encouraging review papers and papers on broader aspects of the Earth sciences that cannot be discussed solely in terms of Scottish geology.The diverse geology of Scotland continues to provide an important natural laboratory for the study of earth sciences; many seminal studies in geology have been carried out on Scottish rocks, and over the years the results of much of this work had been published in the Journal and its predecessors.The Journal fully deserves its high reputation worldwide and intends to maintain its status in the front rank of publications in the Earth sciences.

【译文】尽管自1965年出版以来时间不长，但苏格兰地质杂志有着悠久的传统。它是格拉斯哥地质学会和爱丁堡地质学会的共同出版物，这两个学会在1965年之前分别出版了各自的学报：格拉斯哥从1860年开始，爱丁堡从1863年开始。传统上，该杂志一直是苏格兰地质及其相邻地区所有方面的论文的焦点，包括周围的海洋。出版政策始终面向外部，编辑们鼓励综述论文和涉及地球科学更广泛方面的论文，这些论文不能仅用苏格兰地质来讨论。苏格兰多样的地质继续为地球科学的研究提供了一个重要的自然实验室；许多地质学的开创性研究都是在苏格兰岩石上进行的，而且多年来，这项工作的许多成果都发表在该杂志及其前身上。该杂志完全配得上其在全球的高声誉，并打算保持其在地球科学出版物前沿的地位。
