GIA’s Gems & Gemology Journal Goes Online

February 18, 09 by IDEX Online Staff Reporter

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has launched an online version of its quarterly journal Gems & Gemology (G&G). the new format contains the same content as the print version as well as Book Reviews and Gemological Abstracts, which, dating from the Winter 2008 issue, only appear online.

 

Current print subscribers can add the option of having online access to their G&G subscriptions for an additional fee or they can choose an online-only subscription, which is priced the same as U.S.-addressed print subscriptions.  

 

Some of G&G’s feature articles and journal sections, such as Lab Notes and Gem News International, can be purchased individually and are available for download as PDF files the same day as the print issue is distributed. However, the GIA is also offering free access to some of G&G’s online content such as the Book Reviews, Gemological Abstracts, Editorials and Letters sections. Currently, all of these sections from Spring 1981 through Winter 2008 are freely available.

 

Additionally, online subscribers will have open access to many articles in the G&G archive, including the Fall 2004 article on the development of GIA’s diamond cut grading system; the Winter 2007 update on Apollo CVD-grown synthetic diamonds; and articles about the identification of synthetic diamond melee and new synthetic gem materials, which appear in the Fall 2008 issue.

 

The online version of G&G is accessible at gia.metapress.com. Those interested in purchasing an online subscription can visit www.gia.edu/gemsandgemology.
