AAPG Online Journal Search and Discovery
Presenters will receive an email in early March asking you to allow your work be considered for posting on AAPG’s online journal Search and Discovery. You will be directed to the Presentation Management Site, with instructions on uploading your poster and permission for the work to be considered for Search and Discovery. Final Posting is subject to editorial approval.
AAPG Bulletin
We invite you to consider turning your abstract into a manuscript for submission to the AAPG Bulletin, one of the most cited, highly recognized peer-reviewed journals on petroleum geosciences and the associated technology. Submission to the Bulletin is easy and can be done online. Like all manuscripts submitted to the Bulletin, your manuscript will be reviewed by several reviewers. You can find all of the pertinent details at http://www.aapg.org/bulletin .
