Acta Geologica Sinica (English Edition) is an academic quarterly of the Geological Society of China. It was established in 1922 and is one of the earliest scientific journals in China. Its predecessor was the Bulletin of the Geological Society of Chinaand published papers mainly in English, with some in German and French. With one volume a year, it carried the results of geological investigations of the members of the society and papers presented in annual meetings of the society.
After having published 31 volumes, the journal was renamed Acta Geologica Sinicain 1952 and released papers in Chinese instead of foreign languages, but it was continuously numbered and published by the Science Press of China and was distributed at home in China and abroad. With a 4-year break during 1967-1971, it has published 76 volumes. In March 1988, to meet the need for international exchange, Acta Geologica Sinica -English Edition resumed publication in English and carried the English translation of the papers of the Chinese edition. Since 1997, Acta Geologica Sinica -English Edition has been numbered in the same way as the Chinese edition and not carried the full text translation of the Chinese edition in principle but directly carried the English originals.
Acta Geologica Sinica-English Edition mainly reports the latest and most important achievements in the theoretical and basic research in geological sciences, together with new technologies. Papers published involve various aspects of research concerning geosciences and related disciplines, such as stratigraphy, palaeontology, origin and history of the Earth, structural geology, tectonics, mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, geology of mineral deposits, hydrogeology, engineering geology, environmental geology, regional geology and new theories and technologies of geological exploration. Its readers include scientists of research institutions and teachers and students of institutions of higher learning. Sources of papers are plentiful and come from the world over. The ratio of papers published to those submitted is 20~30% and the journal enjoys free choice for better papers in a large number of papers submitted.
Acta Geologica Sinica-English Edition has always been regarded as an academic journal of the highest level in geological sciences of China by numerous domestic readers. It is one of the kernel periodicals of natural science of China. In recent years, it has been indexed in the Science Citation Index-Expanded. The journal was awarded the title of excellent scientific and technological periodicals of China by the Ministry of Science and Technology, General Administration of Press and Publishing and China Association for Science and Technology. In 2001, it was included in the National Periodical Array of China.
In the new century, the world enters a new stage in which science and technology become more and more important, economical and social demands on geoscientist are mounting and geological research serves the society in broader areas. As an important component of modern science and technology, geological science and technology are in need of greater and faster development. In the new era, Acta Geologica Sinica-English has much to do in promoting developments in geological sciences.
