About the Journal
ECONOMIC GEOLOGY is published semi-quarterly by the
Society of Economic Geologists, Inc. (SEG). The journal was first published
in 1905 by the Economic Geology Publishing Company (PUBCO), a not-for-profit
company established for the purpose of publishing a periodical devoted
to economic geology. On the founding of the Society of Economic Geologists
in 1920, a cooperative arrangement between PUBCO and SEG made the journal
the official organ of the Society, and PUBCO agreed to carry the Society's
name on the front cover under the heading "Bulletin of the Society
of Economic Geologists". PUBCO and SEG continued to operate as cooperating
but separate entities until 2001, when the Board of Directors of PUBCO
and the Council of SEG, by unanimous consent, approved a formal agreement
of merger. The former activities of the PUBCO Board of Directors are
now carried out by a Publications Board, a new self-governing unit within
SEG.
