Countdown to Open Access
OPEN ACCESS
Soon anyone anywhere in the world will be able to
access GSA’s journals free of charge.
As announced in May 2015, GSA’s journals are going
open access. Beginning in January 2017, all Geology
content will become freely available. Geosphere and
Lithosphere will follow in 2018 and GSA Bulletin in 2019.
As part of this transition, GSA members will receive online
access to the four journals as part of their membership in
January 2017.
The journals will maintain the same level of quality and
scientific review that has driven them to become leaders
in their field, but now, in fulfillment of GSA’s mission, their
content will have worldwide dissemination with no access
barriers, extending the reach and increasing the impact of
this quality research.
