Geological Society of India
The Geological Society of India is based in
Establishment
As declared in the JGSI, the society was established on May 28, 1958, to promote the cause of advanced study and research in all branches of earth system science.
Governance
The society is administered by a council having a term of three years. The president of the current council is the geologist 'B. P. Radhakrishna' who occasionally writes on pressing science-society issues.[1] The geological society has three classes of membership: Life/Annual Membership; Honorary fellows; Corporate members. The fellows are elected once a year by the council. The society has found the life memberships it offered long ago to be a burden in the sense that life fellows do not have to contribute to the society monetarily but the society has to honour the subscriptions.
The society publishes its journal monthly. It also publishes
Journal of the Geological Society of India
The journal publishes peer reviewed articles on all aspects of earth science. Most contributions are from India, with a few from neighbouring countries and rarely from outside the continent. A scientometric assessment of the journal has suggested that to improve the journal's impact factor more review papers, increased international authorship, and broadening of subject areas of publication may be attempted.[2]
