Geological Society reviewing procedures

The Society makes every effort to ensure that the scientific and production
quality of its books matches that of its journals. Since 1997, all book proposals
have been refereed by specialist reviewers as well as by the Society's Books
Editorial Committee. If the referees identify weaknesses in the proposal, these
must be addressed before the proposal is accepted.
Once the book is accepted, the Society has a team of Book Editors (listed
above) who ensure that the volume editors follow strict guidelines on refereeing
and quality control. We insist that individual papers can only be accepted after
satisfactory review by two independent referees. The questions on the review
forms are similar to those for Journal of the Geological Society. The referees'
forms and comments must be available to the Society's Book Editors on
request.
Although many of the books result from meetings, the editors are expected
to commission papers that were not presented at the meeting to ensure that the
book provides a balanced coverage of the subject. Being accepted for
presentation at the meeting does not guarantee inclusion in the book.
Geological Society Special Publications are included in the ISI Index of
Scientific Book Contents, but they do not have an impact factor, the latter
being applicable only to journals.
More information about submitting a proposal and producing a Memoir
or Special Publication can be found on the Society's web site:

FRASER, A. J. & GAWTHORPE, R. L. 2003. An Atlas of Carboniferous Basin
Evolution in Northern Englalnd. Geological Society, London, Memoir 28.
View looking east along Hope Valley from Mam Tor, Derbyshire. Early Namurian Edale shales (sequence LC la) in the valley onlap
the now exhumed late Dinantian carbonate platform margin (sequence EC4) forming the righthand valley side. The left-hand valley
side is composed of pro-delta Kinderscoutian turbidites and the snow capped hills in the distance late Namurian mouthbar and delta
top fluvial sandstones. Below the composite seismic line from the Edale Gulf illustrates the subsurface geology to the east of the
outcrop location and highlights the half graben and fault-controlled geometry of the Dinantian basins (also see Fig. 17, p. 21).
