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.
