Page Charges for Articles in The Earth Scientist
NESTA requests payment of page charges at the rate of $100/page from authors who have institutional, program, or grant support to help defer the costs of publication of the journal. The Earth Scientist is a full-color journal, and there is no additional charge for color images. Authors without support are strongly urged to assist in defraying costs of publication to the extent their resources permit, but payment of page charges is not required from such authors. NESTA understands that some authors may not have funding for page charges, and does not wish to discourage submission from these authors. Payment of page charges has no bearing on the decision to accept or reject a manuscript. Following acceptance of a manuscript, NESTA will contact the author regarding payment for page charges.
Our 2010 Summer issue of The Earth Scientist (TES) includes six articles dealing with various aspects of Earth Science. An article from NOAA details how lake effect snow can, under the right conditions, actually occur on the narrow Mississippi River. Another article describes how you can turn your classroom into a low-budget planetarium. Next we include a primer on satellites and their use in oceanography. You will really "dig" the article, complete with lesson plans and worksheets, describing how to do an archaeological dig in your own classroom. Another article summarizes and analyzes the GEMS Program and its use in teaching hands-on Astronomy. Last, but definitely not least, an article which provides enlightening information on the global warming debate.
