JAES - official journal of GSAf

Agreement has been reached between the Society and Elsevier, the publishers of the Journal of African Earth Sciences (JAES), whereby JAES becomes the official journal of the Society.

All GSAf members are urged to take advantage of this valuable and prestigeous association when seeking to publish their work. Individual Members are reminded, too, that they are entitled to receive personal copies of JAES at the special rate of US$86 for the 2005 issues. This offer may also be attractive to prospective new members of the Society!

Reduced subscription rate for GSAf members

Individual Members of the Geological Society of Africa are eligible to receive a year's issues of the Journal of African Earth Sciences for only US$86 in 2005. This represents a valuable saving on the normal price charged to non-members of the Society (see www.elsevier.com/locate/jafrearsci for details).

Paid-up Members who wish to take advantage of this discount should apply in the first instance through their national or regional GSAf Councillor, or through the Assistant Secretary General/Membership Secretary, or direct to the Honorary Treasurer. (The addresses of all Council members are given elsewhere on the GSAf homepage.) Once verified, the applications will be forwarded through the web coordinator (who is the Honorary Treasurer) to Elsevier, the publisher of the journal. Elsevier will then invoice the Member directly.

Remember, this offer applies only to those who are fully paid up Individual members of the Society! The reduced price is not available to Institutional members.

Non-members of the Society who are interested in benefiting from the JAES offer are welcome to apply to join the Society in order to qualify!
