"Manuel Fernández de Castro" Awards to the best articles
published
The awards to the best articles published every year have
been established in order to recognise the efforts of
authors and the quality of the papers published in the
Geological and Mining Bulletin.
Two categories are considered:
- |
Award to the best article published
every natural year |
- |
Award to the best article published, in
the same period, by pre doctorates or recent
doctorates. |
All articles published in the Geological and
Mining Journal will be automatically included in the
first category, without any further action by
authors. The mere fact of subjecting a paper to be
published by the journal, implies the acceptance of
this rules and to the decisions of the jury,
composed by the members of the Editorial Board.
Papers whose first author is currently working on its
thesis or is within the two years after obtaining the title
of Doctor, will be considered in the second category. Only
papers whose first author fulfils the requisite mentioned
before and which have expresses in writing his will to
present his/her article to this category, can participate in
this category. Participation of these articles in the first
category will be automatic.
For both categories, the Editorial Board will consider
the scientific quality of the published papers and their
contribution to the advance of the scientific knowledge in
any of the fields of Earth Sciences. These awards will be
offered at the end of each year and consist in a mention of
honour and an honorary diploma.
