Invitation to contribute to a GSL Special Publication on "Orogenic Andesites and Crustal Growth"
From: Georg Zellmer <gzellmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
*****************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues -
Apologies for duplicate postings.
We have been approached by the Geological Society of London to edit a book on the theme of "The origin of orogenic andesites", based in part on the upcoming Fall AGU 2011 session on this topic. We think such a compendium would be very useful given recent progress and changing views on andesite genesis since the appearance of Jim Gill's hallmark book "Orogenic Andesites and Plate Tectonics” published 30 years ago.
A working title for the edited book would be "Orogenic Andesites and Crustal Growth". At this junction, we send out this email in order to gauge your interest in making a contribution to such a book. We already have about a dozen potential contributions, but would initially like to secure about 20 titles in total.
Please note that papers in a GSL Special Publication are now included in the ISI Web of Science, which soon will reference GSL SPs from 2008 onward. Scopus already does reference GSL SPs. Three (3) free colour figures are allowed in the print version for each paper, and any number of figures can be in colour for free in the online version. Submission is done online, and GSL allows for electronic appendices. For an idea about the format of GSL SPs, you may check the following volume as an example: http://sp.lyellcollection.org/content/vol304/issue1/
If you are interested, we would ask you to provide us with preliminary paper titles and a 3 sentence summary of the topic to be addressed after Fall AGU, and not later than December 31th, 2011. Based on this response, we will write a book proposal to the GSL, upon which the final selection of the contributed paper titles will take place.
A deadline for potential paper submission would be in spring 2012.
