Hi guys,

I'm in college at the moment and one of my assignments is to find a paper dealing with either sed or strat, and also a reply paper arguing a different perspective. Using web of science and the GSA website, I have been able to find papers but am not sure where to locate responses or discussion papers. Any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry if I posted this in the wrong board!

Probably showing my age here, but in the old days there was a set of books called Science Citation Index where you could see where a paper was referenced in another publication. Presumably a rebuttal / discussion paper would reference its target. I don't know if this is available on the web.

GSA and AAPG bulletins...among others...often publish "discussions" where rival researchers present arguments opposing those of an initial paper. My guess is if you run a search for "discussion" for these journals you'll get something pretty fast
