The summary and abstract must not exceed 250 words. Exceptionally, the editors may consider publishing longer works. The time between submission and final publication will depend on the number of papers in the waiting list, but the editorial review process will not exceed six months. The final publication will be available within two months after acceptance. At the end of this period, the work will be displayed on the platform and can be consulted in its accepted format without final editing.

History

The Argentine Geological Association was created in Buenos Aires on June 30, 1945, in the Geology classroom of the Faculty of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires with the initial name of the Argentine Geological Society. Among the Society's main purposes was to publish the Magazine of the Argentine Geological Society, whose first issue was published in January 1946 under the direction of Dr. Armando F. Leanza and Dr. Carlos D. Storni, and has It had an uninterrupted edition until today, publishing eighty consecutive volumes. It is the official dissemination organ of the Association where the advances in knowledge of Argentine Geology in its different disciplines are disseminated.
The first ten years of the Journal were run by a subcommittee led by Dr. Armando F. Leanza, who acted as ad hoc editor until 1956. Dr. Carlos D. Storni was in charge of the publication until 1971. when he was replaced by Dr. Pedro N. Stipanicic until 1974.
In 1975, the position of Director of the Journal was introduced along with other fundamental changes, such as submitting papers to arbitration by two reviewers. The position corresponded to Dr. Roberto L. Caminos. The direction of Roberto Caminos (1975-1979) of the magazine was followed by Dr. Francisco E. Nullo (1980-1983, 1987-1991), Dr. Víctor A. Ramos (1983-1987, 2004-2009), Dr. Susana E. Damborenea (1991-1997), Dr. Roberto A. Scasso (1998-1999) and Dr. Milka K. de Brodtkorb (1999-2001).
In 2010, the position of Editor and Co-editor was created, held by Drs. Pablo Pazos and Vanesa D. Litvak (2010-2015), together with a group of Thematic Editors, and the editorial management of the articles stopped being by postal mail, and was done digitally through the OJS platform provided by the CAICYT -CONICET.
In 2016 the position was renamed General Editor and General Co-Editor, being occupied by Drs. Augusto Rapalini and Diego A. Kietzmann (2016-2019), who were accompanied by a group of Deputy Editors.

In that year, the CAICYT platform was abandoned and editorial management was transferred from OJS3, hosted on the AGA website and with support from SEDICI-UNLP.
