Earth sciences research.

Description:
A comprehensive internet resource for research and communications in the geosciences, built on a core database aggregation of peer-reviewed journals indexed, linked, and inter-operable with GeoRef.

In 2002, seven leading geoscience organizations discovered a need to create one platform for geoscientists worldwide to have access to the same research materials in the rapidly-changing pace of the geosciences industry. The only nonprofit collaborative of its kind in the earth sciences, GeoScienceWorld (GSW) was created as a single electronic journal (eJournal) aggregate which is a one-stop shop and digital archive for earth science researchers. GSW has provided electronic access to the journals and archives of more than 41 top-tier digital journals from 27 pre-eminent global publishers.
