GeoScienceWorld (GSW) has announced the addition of the GeoArabia archive (1996 – 2015) and special publications to its collection of Earth science research on the Silverchair platform. A quarterly journal covering petroleum geoscience in the Middle East, GeoArabia was published by Gulf Petrolink in Bahrain from 1996 to 2015. The new content is now publicly available on the GSW platform under Creative Commons licence (CC BY-NC).
Distinctive features of the site include: split screen display that allows users to scroll the journal article and its figures simultaneously; an integrated map-based search experience using GeoRef bounding coordinate data to discover content globally and narrow results to specific regions or locations; search results that include figures and extract views; and a re-conceptualised treatment of GeoRef Thesaurus keywords for better surfacing of related content.
