Seismological Research Letters is Now on GeoScienceWorld

Alexandria, Va. – GeoScienceWorld (GSW) is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the 36th online geoscience journal on its web site, http://www.geoscienceworld.org: Seismological Research Letters (SRL), which is fully-searchable through GSW's online portal of geoscience journals at http://srl.geoscienceworld.org. The full-text of SRL is freely available to all until February 13, 2008; after that date, full-text will be available only to GSW subscribers.

SRL is published bimonthly by the Seismological Society of  America (SSA) and it provides a unique focus on topics with broad seismological and earthquake engineering appeal. SSA is a scientific society devoted to the advancement of seismology and its applications in understanding and mitigating earthquake hazards and in imaging the structure of the Earth.  In addition to contributed papers with broad appeal, SRL includes opinion pieces on current  issues, rapid reports on recent earthquakes and regular columns on topics  such as earthquake education and the history of seismology. SSA's primary research journal, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America is already available on GSW.

GeoScienceWorld is an online resource for research and communications in the geosciences, built on a core aggregation of high-impact, peer-reviewed journals that are indexed, linked, and interoperable with the GeoRef bibliographic database. The addition of the SRL is an important milestone in GSW's ongoing mission to be the most comprehensive, widely accessible, easy to use, integrated, and cost-effective online resource for journals in the geosciences.

Headquartered in Alexandria, Va., GeoScienceWorld was incorporated in 2004 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the sole purpose of making geoscience research and information easily available to the scientific community and the public in an online digital format that facilitates education and future research.
