The Geological Society champions open access publishing for both books and journals, offering a range of flexible options to maximise the reach and impact of your research. We support full and hybrid (mixed open access and subscription-based) models and participate in Read and Publish agreements with numerous institutions worldwide.
Our book series including Special Publications, Memoirs, and Engineering Geology Special Publications, all provide avenues for open access publishing at both the chapter and book level. For researchers prioritising fully open access, our GeoHorizons series is dedicated exclusively to this model.
