In a classic paper by the late Yale historian of science, Derek De Solla Price (1965), based mainly on the study of citations in a single scientific research field, it was shown how citations in a developing research area have a strong 'immediacy effect'.1 Citation was found to be at a maximum for papers about two-and-a-half years old, and the 'major work of a paper . [is] finished after 10 years', as judged by citations. There were, however, some 'classic' papers that continue to be cited over long periods of time, and review papers specifically discussing the earlier literature. There appears to be a need for such review papers after the publication of about. | The Earth Inside and Out Some Major ContrikitionstoGeotogymthe Twentieth Century edited by David R.

Turner Special Publication 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.
