Dear Group, Frank is correct. Have a look around at what's availble. Electronic Geosciences also offers help for authors and, as I can testify, the process of article submission is painless. Even those without web access can submit articles on disk, etc. by mail. This medium has got to be the way forward, as visualisation becomes recognised as more important than ever in getting across complex concepts to other scientists. For example, quations for fluid migration through a porous medium and graphs may tell the story, but a 3D rotating model of the flow is a fantastic way of really understanding what the equation and static graphs mean. With the increasing availability of sophisticated modelling software we will all need an effective way of presenting our work to others. Electronic publishing is really the best means of doing this. However, authors who want to use less fancy stuff in their publications should not be put off. Electronic Geosciences warmly welcomes papers of all sorts. The simple, and cost-free availability of colour is attractive to many authors. Take a look at the 3 or 4 electronic geoscience journals currently available. Visit Electronic Geosciences (http://link.springer.de/link/service/journals/10069/index.htm). Dip your toe in the water by submitting a little paper at first. I'm confident you'll be pleased with the result. Cheers, JC -- John D.
