'''The Geological Society of India''' is based in [[Bangalore, India]]. Its flagship product is the ''Journal of the Geological Society of India (JGSI)''.<br />
<br />
==Establishment==<br />
As declared in the ''JGSI'', the Society was established on May 28, 1958 to promote the cause of advanced study and research in all branches of [[Earth science|earth system science]].<br />
<br />
==Governance==<br />
The society is administered by a council having a term of three years. The President of the current council is the [[geologist]] [[Bangalore Puttaiya Radhakrishna|'B. P. Radhakrishna']] who occasionally writes on pressing science-society issues.<ref>[http://www.iisc.ernet.in/~currsci/nov10/articles9.htm Preservation of India's culture and environment],</ref> The geological society has three classes of membership: Life/Annual Membership; Honorary fellows; Corporate members. The fellows are elected once a year by the council. The society has found the life memberships it offered long ago to be a burden in the sense that life fellows do not have to contribute to the society monetarily but the society has to honour the subscriptions.<br />
<br />
The society publishes its journal monthly. It also publishes [[memoirs]], [[textbook]]s, [[field guides]] and an [[economic geology]] series, all related to the geology of India.<br />
<br />
==''Journal of the Geological Society of India''==<br />
The journal publishes [[peer review]]ed articles on all aspects of earth science. Most contributions are from India, with a few from neighbouring countries and rarely from outside the [[Asia|continent]]. A scientometric assessment of the journal has suggested that to improve the journal’s impact factor more review papers, increased international authorship, and broadening of subject areas of publication may be attempted. <ref name="Renjith">{{cite journal | last1 = Renjith | first1 = V.R. | last2 = Pradeepkumar | title = Top 100 Most Cited Papers of the Journal of Geological Society of India (JGSI) in Web of Science (WoS): A Scientometric Assessment | journal = Library Philosophy and Practice | year = 2021 | volume = 4892| url = https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/4892 }}</ref> <br />
