Call for Abstracts - "A Tour of the Solid Solar System: Recognising Early
Career Contributions to Planetary Science", A Geological Society of London
Special Publication
We are pleased to announce that the call for abstracts for the upcoming
Geological Society of London Special Publication, “A tour of the solid
solar system: Recognising early career contributions to planetary science,”
is now open!
We are looking for contributions from early career researchers (students
and those within 10 years of completing their degree) who are conducting
novel science with extraterrestrial samples. The Geological Society of
London represents the interests of the geoscience community globally, and
planetary science was recently incorporated into the Society’s Scientific
Themes. This upcoming Special Publication aims to encompass the solid solar
system from pre-solar disk components through planetary bodies to celebrate
the excellent work being carried out by students and early career
researchers in planetary science.
Special Publications are high quality collections of peer-reviewed papers
that are hosted online as well as being published as hardback books, and
can be cited in future research as any other peer-reviewed article. Once
accepted, articles are assigned a DOI and published online within two
weeks. The Geological Society of London ensures a high standard of
peer-review, inclusion in major indexers such as Scopus, editorial support
for authors and reviewers, open access options, free colour figures, no
page charges, and active marketing and promotion of the publication.
Previous Special Publications can be found at the Lyell Collection
https://www.lyellcollection.org/journal/sp website.
Abstracts should be no longer than two pages and can include figures and
tables if desired. Submission for this Special Publication is not
restricted to studies that are currently complete; we are also accepting
abstracts for studies that can reasonably be ready for peer-review within
the next 10-12 months.
Abstracts should be submitted by 12pm (noon) GMT on Friday 8th March 2024
using this form https://forms.gle/swWU8jSSHtiTn7647. An abstract template
can be downloaded here

.
Abstracts will be assessed by the editors Dr Jennifer Mitchell (University
of Minnesota, USA), Dr Natasha Stephen (The Geological Society of London,
Imperial College London, UK), Dr Thomas Barrett (LPI, USA), and Dr Ashley
King (Natural History Museum, UK) for novelty, impact, and reasonable
completion within the timeframe. We will inform all submitters if their
abstract was accepted or not as soon as possible.
Questions should be directed to Dr Jennifer Mitchell, Lead Editor, at
jtmitche@umn.edu.
