Abstract

A great range and number of journals exist to promote and disseminate local knowledge in the areas of natural history, geology, geography and ecology. Many are still active; others are lost. The journals act as mouthpieces for local societies and are a repository of local knowledge. Some are hard to locate but the websites of local societies provide information on topics covered and the regularity of publication of the journals. The loss of journals seems to be the result of the pressure on academics to publish in international outlets and the growth of highly informative websites.

英国地方和地区期刊：自然史、地质学、地理学和生态学及其作用和价值

在自然历史、地质学、地理学和生态学领域，有大量种类繁多的期刊用于宣传和传播地方知识。许多期刊仍然活跃，但也有一些已经失传。这些期刊是地方协会的喉舌，也是地方知识的宝库。有些期刊很难找到，但地方学会的网站提供了有关期刊所涵盖主题和定期出版情况的信息。期刊的消失似乎是学术界面临在国际刊物上发表论文的压力和信息量大的网站发展的结果。

期刊介绍： The Proceedings of the Geologists'' Association is an international geoscience journal that was founded in 1859 and publishes research and review papers on all aspects of Earth Science. In particular, papers will focus on the geology of northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean, including both the onshore and offshore record. Following a long tradition, the PGA will focus on: i) a range of article types (see below) on topics of wide relevance to Earth Sciences ii) papers on aspects of Earth Science that have societal relevance including geoconservation and Earth management, iii) papers on palaeoenvironments and palaeontology of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, iv) papers on aspects of Quaternary geology and climate change, and v) papers on the history of geology with particular reference to individuals that have shaped the subject. These topics will also steer the content of the themes of the Special Issues that are published in the PGA.
