(d) to appoint the following scientific editors:
Scientific editor Area of interest
Prof. A. KROENER Structural geology
Prof. A. NICOLAS Tectonics/petrology
Prof. M.L. COLEMANN Sedimentology/geochemistry
Prof. J.-C. JAUPART Geophysics/geodynamics/volcanology
It was suggested that in order to stagger
rotation initially, 2 should serve for 3 years
and 2 for 2 years, when they would either
come off the board or be reappointed for a
further period.
(e) that one or at the most two additional
scientific editors were needed to increase
subject coverage particularly in the
areas of palaeontology, environment,
marine geosciences, quaternary studies.
Societies were invited to propose
names which would then be circulated
for comment.
(f) that there should be a number of Associate
Editors to provide coverage across
a wide spectrum of the Geosciences.
The Associate Editors would be proposed
by members of the Management
Board and the scientific editors, and
would be appointed by the Management
Board. Associate editors should be proposed
on grounds of subject coverage
and scientific expirience rather than nationality
and could include scientists
from outside Europe. Proposals for Associate
Editors were now invited and
would be circulated for comment.
4. Publisher
The publisher of the journal would be appointed
by the Management Board.
Five major publishers had been invited to
tender for the new journal during 1995.
Of the five, Blackwells had submitted a particularly
favourable quotation. In particular,
Blackwells were prepared to take the financial
risk during the initial 3 year period of
DEUTSCHE GEOLOGISCHE GESELLSCHAFT
launching and building up subscriptions for
the new journal. Societies would not bear
any financial risk. The cost would be:
- $ 19 per 6-issue volume per member, delivered
to the society in bulk (wrapped in
plastic envelopes, ready for despatch).
The society could then cover its despatch
costs and overheads by charging members
a higher subscription, or
- $ 25 per 6-issue volume per member,
mailed by Blackwells to society members
using self-adhesive labels supplied by
the society, or
$ 30 per 6-issue volume per member,
with Blackwells handling subscriptions
and despatch to individual members of
the society, or
$ 19 via internet per 6-issue volume per
member.
For the transitional period of three years
from 1 January 1997, Blackwells would publish
the new journal as a relaunched Terra
Nova. This had the considerable advantage
that the journal was already included in the
Citation Index (it usually took several years
before a new journal was included in the Index).
In the source of the three years EUG would
negotiate with Blackwells for ownership of
the copyright of Terra Nova; discussions
had already begun.
In year three (1999), the publication of the
journal would be put to open tender for the
next five year period starting 1 January
2000.
5. Subscriptions
Each society would now need to decide by
the end of September, if possible, which of
the options outlined above it wished to take
and inform the EUG Executive Secretary.
Where people were members of a national
society and EUG, it was envisaged that they
would subscribe by their national society.
EUG members who were not members of a
national society would subscribe through
the EUG Office in Strasbourg.
