EEGS publications join SEG Digital Library on Scitation

30 September 2007—The complete journal and proceedings archives of the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS) have been added to the SEG Digital Library.

All 13 volumes of the Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics (JEEG) and all 21 annual proceedings of the Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP) are available within the EEGS Research Collection. This content is available to both societies’ members and nonmember and institutional subscribers.

“By putting JEEG and the SAGEEP Proceedings online within the SEG Digital Library, EEGS is giving the work of its member scientists exposure in the broader community of applied geophysicists and with researchers and practitioners in many other disciplines,” said Jonathan E. Nyquist, recently elected as EEGS president.

The complete JEEG and SAGEEP Proceedings archives are online thanks to a partnership between EEGS and SEG. In the SEG Digital Library, the EEGS Research Collection shares an interface and search engines with the SEG Research Collection, which includes Geophysics, The Leading Edge, the SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts, and the online version of the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Applied Geophysics, fourth edition. The EEGS publications have been added to the Digital Cumulative Index (DCI), a bibliographic database of applied geophysics literature published by five geoscience societies.

“With EEGS publications, the SEG Digital Library has improved its coverage of geophysical applications in such areas as water resources, fault mapping, groundwater cleanup, and unexploded ordinance,” said Fred Aminzadeh, SEG president. “Our alliance with EEGS will facilitate more technical innovation across the geophysics community.”

EEGS members are gaining access to full-text articles in the EEGS Research Collection plus the SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts. SEG members are gaining access to the EEGS Research Collection in addition to the SEG Research Collection access they already enjoy. The SEG Digital Library is hosted on the Scitation scholarly publishing platform operated by the American Institute of Physics (AIP).

Institutions subscribing to JEEG in print have gained access to the online EEGS Research Collection for the duration of 2008 and will have the opportunity to add continuing access for 2009. Institutions subscribing to SEG publications have obtained access to the EEGS Research Collection for the remainder of 2008 and can maintain that level of access with an upgraded subscription for 2009.

Subscriptions to EEGS and SEG publications are available through AIP’s Circulation and Fulfillment Service at +1.800.334.6908, +1.516.576.2270, or by e-mail. Rates are available at online.
