History
editThe journal was established in 1953 as the Journal of the Geological Society of Australia and obtained its current name in 1984.[1]
he BMR Journal of Australian Geology & Geophysics was established in March 1976 by the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics (BMR) to publish its scientists' research. Over time, it accepted external papers, which were peer-reviewed before publication. When in 1993 BMR changed its name to Australian Geological Survey Organisation, the journal was renamed AGSO Journal of Australian Geology & Geophysics. The last of these was volume 17, issue 5–6, published in February 2000, before government policy changed to favour external publishing of its findings, and it was merged into the Australian Journal of Earth Sciences.[3]
