Its flagship product is the Journal of the Geological Society of India (JGSI).
As declared in the JGSI, the society was established on May 28, 1958, to promote the cause of advanced study and research in all branches of earth system science.
The journal publishes peer reviewed articles on all aspects of earth science.
Most contributions are from India, with a few from neighbouring countries and rarely from outside the continent.
A scientometric assessment of the journal has suggested that to improve the journal's impact factor more review papers, increased international authorship, and broadening of subject areas of publication may be attempted.
