Abstract

The number of research papers and brand new geoscientific data of the Colombian territory has increased progressively in recent years. This has generated the rise of new hypotheses to explain the origin of what is now Colombia, but also the updating of pioneering ideas. This fact, added to the need to gather the increasing amount of information produced by different areas of the Earth sciences, encouraged the Servicio Geológico Colombiano to edit the first scientific book about The Geology of Colombia. The aim of this chapter is to describe The Geology of Colombia in terms of how the editorial process was outlined, the main issues considered to improve texts and figures, and the content the reader will find in each chapter. It also presents the scientific outreach strategy designed paralleled to the editorial process which includes two audiences mainly: one created for scientists based on topical sessions related to the geology of Colombia and oral presentations in scientific conferences, and secondly a strategy aimed at the general public which consisted in writing stories that were published in national and local newspapers, and producing multimedia content for social media and the web page. As a result, the editorial work presented in four volumes includes 58 chapters, almost three times the initial projection, written by 179 researchers and edited according to the international quality standards. On the other hand, the number of readers of the articles published in the newspapers as well as the engagement of the social media content by diverse audiences reflects the multidisciplinary and well–oriented work during the process.

Keywords: Colombian geology, editorial process, editing figures, scientific outreach.​

Resumen

El número de investigaciones y nuevos datos geocientíficos del territorio colombiano ha aumentado progresivamente en los últimos años. Esto ha generado el surgimiento de recientes hipótesis para explicar la formación de lo que hoy es Colombia, pero también la actualización de las ideas pioneras. Este hecho sumado a la necesidad de reunir el volumen creciente de información que se produce desde diferentes áreas de las ciencias de la Tierra llevó al Servicio Geológico Colombiano a producir la primera obra editada sobre la geología nacional: The Geology of Colombia. El objetivo con este capítulo es presentar qué es The Geology of Colombia, cómo fue el proceso editorial para su producción, cuáles son los principales aspectos que se consideraron para la mejora de textos y figuras y qué se puede encontrar en cada capítulo. Adicionalmente, se presenta la estrategia de divulgación científica que se realizó junto con el proceso editorial. La estrategia se dirigió a público especializado a través de la organización de sesiones técnicas sobre geología de Colombia y la presentación de conferencias en encuentros científicos y a público lego con la creación de contenidos de texto y multimedia que se publicaron en periódicos de circulación nacional, revistas, radio y en redes sociales y página web. El resultado de este trabajo editorial y de divulgación se ve reflejado en la producción de 58 capítulos, cerca del triple de capítulos proyectados durante la fase inicial del proyecto, que fueron escritos por 179 geocientíficos y editados siguiendo estándares internacionales de calidad. También, se refleja en los resultados positivos de la estrategia de divulgación para público lego: número de lectores de artículos periodísticos, alcance de las publicaciones en redes sociales, entre otros, que fueron posibles gracias al trabajo multidisciplinar y orientado durante la elaboración y publicación del contenido.

Palabras clave: geología colombiana, proceso editorial, edición de figuras, divulgación científica​.
