Journal Title：Scottish Journal Of Geology

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.

尽管自 1965 年以来才出版，《苏格兰地质学杂志》有着悠久的历史。它是格拉斯哥地质学会和爱丁堡地质学会的联合出版物，在 1965 年之前出版了单独的交易：格拉斯哥从 1860 年开始，爱丁堡从 1863 年开始。

传统上，《期刊》一直是有关苏格兰地质及其邻近地区（包括周围海域）各个方面的论文的焦点。出版政策一直是外向型的，编辑鼓励发表评论文章和关于地球科学更广泛方面的论文，而这些论文不能仅从苏格兰地质学的角度进行讨论。

苏格兰多样化的地质继续为地球科学研究提供一个重要的自然实验室；许多开创性的地质研究已经在苏格兰岩石上进行，多年来，这项工作的大部分成果已发表在《期刊》及其前辈上。

该杂志在全球范围内享有盛誉，并打算保持其在地球科学出版物中的领先地位。
