Two geology papers rejected by an American journal because
of a 
federal rule will be published in a British journal. This
spring 
two petroleum-geology papers got stuck in a morass of
government 
regulations. After having received acceptance notifications
from 
AAPG Bulletin, a peer-reviewed journal of the American 
Association of Petroleum Geology, the papers were rejected 
because the authors had indirect ties to the Iranian
government 
(The Chronicle, April 20).
