“…Studies have shown that microplastics are present in inland soil and groundwater (Cha and Lee, 2021;Kim et al, 2021). However, few have focused on the occurrence, distribution, fate, and transport of microplastics in aquifers, particularly from a hydrogeological perspective (Jeong and Lee, 2021). Without a detailed examination of the relevant geology and hydrogeology, a reliable understanding of microplastic distribution and transport in groundwater cannot be achieved.…”

Episodes has published many excellent articles on relevant, provocative, and interesting geological themes in Special Issues (SIs). The IUGS Publications Committee and editorial team have endeavored to publish SIs regularly; however, it has remained inconsistent (Table 1). The themes of the Sis published in this journal include natural stones, asbestos, the geodynamic evolution of the Indian subcontinent, forensic geology, the great mineral fields of Africa, ophiolites, global heritage stone resources, catastrophic tsunamis, geology of the Oceania, and Nordic geoscience (see Table 1). Each SI contains 7 to 43 articles with a mean of 17. A Google Scholar search revealed that currently, each SI has been cited 12 to 1,099 times (mean = 252). Each article in the Sis has been cited 1.71 to 37.89 times. The SIs celebrating the International Geological Congress (IGC), held every four years, were a great success with regard to the citations by other studies.
