History

The 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]
