• It was found difficult to receive articles on
geoenvironmental incidents. Most probably, this
difficulty is related with forensic issues.
• Corporate Associates (CAs) of ISSMGE can use one
page of the Bulletin as they like, within the mission of
ISSMGE, most probably once a year. It is a good
opportunity for CAs to show worldwide how good they
are. This service is considered to be one of the
promotions for industries to join ISSMGE as CA.
ISSMGE Bulletin is one of the communication channels
between the society and individual members as well as among
members. Submission of good articles from members is most
welcome. Because the Bulletin is not an academic journal, there
is no peer review. Only one requirement is that the article
should be easy to understand. Thus, the time lag between
submission and publication is short; less than two months or
sometimes only one week. To make the article clear and easy to
understand, nice photographs and illustrations are helpful. Brief
description of the essence is more important than rigorous way
of writing. This is the difference between the Bulletin and
academic journals. At the end, it is repeated that the Bulletin
offers a free opportunity for members to demonstrate to the
worldwide geotechnical community how good they are.
