About the journal
Since its first appearance in 1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters has built up an enviable reputation. Its successful formula of presenting high-quality research articles with minimal delay has made it one of the most important sources of information in its field. The articles published reflect the great impact made on research in the geosciences by the use of successful research methods from other disciplines such as chemistry, physics, and mathematics. It also covers research into all aspects of lunar studies, plate tectonics, ocean floor spreading, and continental drift, as well as basic studies of the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the Earth's crust and mantle, the atmosphere and the hydrosphere.
Mid 2002 a new section of short reviews called Frontiers was introduced within Earth and Planetary Science Letters. These high profile papers are written by leading experts and published as the opening pages to regular EPSL issues. The papers fill an important niche of fast communications that bring the scientific community up-to-speed on interesting new areas of science.

Instructions to Authors
1. Submission and preparation of manuscripts
a) Initially, four copies of the manuscript including photographs, line-drawings and tables should be submitted to one of the Editors. Original line-drawings should not be sent until the final revised manuscript is submitted. Submission implies that the article is original, unpublished, and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
b) The title page and abstract should be provided on diskette with the original submission; this will be used when e-mailing potential reviewers. The title page should include the names of the authors, their affiliations, addresses, phone/fax and e-mail numbers. In the case of more than one author please indicate to whom the correspondence should be addressed. Further, the title page should contain a word/page count (see section 2).
c) With the submitted manuscript, authors should enclose the names, addresses, fax/phone and e-mail numbers of seven suggested reviewers. The Editors will not reveal the identity of the reviewers unless asked otherwise but the reviewers are free to correspond directly with the authors if they so desire.
d) The manuscript should be prepared on a word processor and printed with double spacing and wide margins and, except for very short papers, include an abstract of not more than 500 words.
e) Authors should use IUGS terminology. The use of S.I. units is recommended.
f) In view of speed, authors are encouraged to revise within 4 weeks after receiving the reviews. At the Editors' discretion, any revision received later may be regarded a new submission, subject to handling as a new paper.
g) Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under the US copyright law.
Submission of electronic text
In order to publish the paper as quickly as possible, after acceptance, authors are asked to submit the final text also on diskette. Authors must ensure that the diskette version and hardcopy are identical - discrepancies can lead to publication of the wrong version. If available, in addition to original prints, electronic files of the figures should also be included on a separate disk/CD.
2. Length of papers
a) The maximum permissible length of a paper is 15 printed journal pages (taking into account ALL elements of the article, including text, figures, equations, tables and references).
b) The maximum allowable number of words in the main text is 6500 (this is EXCLUDING the words in the title, abstract, captions, equations, tables and references).
c) There is no maximum to the length of the paper's reference list. However, at the discretion of the Editors, authors may be required to limit the number of references.
The number of printed pages is estimated as follows:
(number of WORDS in the main text divided by 750) + (number of REFERENCES divided by 35) +
(1 page for title, list of authors, and abstract) +
(the number of pages needed for the figures, the figure captions, the equations and the tables);
more detailed information is available below (under APPENDIX).
NOTE: Both a word count on the main text, and a page count for the estimated printed length, must be provided on the title page of the manuscript.
3. References
a) References should be restricted to the number necessary for citation of pertinent material. As a rule of thumb, an average of 3-4 references per printed page is recommended. References to internal reports, etc., are to be avoided.
b) References to the literature should strictly follow the journal's format: the references should be numbered in the order in which they are cited, and given in numerical sequence in the reference list at the end of the manuscript. The numbers should appear in the text in the appropriate places using numerals in square brackets on the line. In the reference list, periodicals [1], books [2], multi-author books [3] and proceedings [4], should be cited in accordance with the following examples:
[1] C. Matyska, D.A.Yuen, Are mantle plumes adiabatic?, Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 189 (2001) 165-176.
[2] I.S.E. Carmichael, F.J. Turner, J. Verhoogen, Igneous Petrology, McGraw-Hill, New York, NY, 1974, 739 pp.
[3] S.R. Taylor, Chemical composition and evolution of the continental crust: the rare earth element evidence, in: M.W. McElhinney (Ed.), The Earth, its Origin, Structure and Evolution, Academic Press, London, 1978, pp. 2-44.
[4] V.T. Bowen, H.D. Livingstone, J.C. Burke, Distribution of transuranium nuclides in sediment and biota of the North Atlantic Ocean, in: Transuranium Elements in the Environment, IAEA Symp. Proc., 1976, pp. 107-120.
(c) Abbreviations for titles of journals should follow the system used in the "Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors" published in 1974 by the American Chemical Society, Washington, DC.
4. Tables and illustrations
a) Tables should be compiled on separate sheets. A title should be provided for each table and they should be referred to in the text. Efforts should be made to make the size of the table correspond to the format of the journal (max. 15x20 cm).
b) All illustrations should be numbered consecutively and referred to in the text.
c) Each illustration should be lettered throughout, the size of the lettering being appropriate to that of the illustrations, but taking into account the possible need for reduction in size. The page format of the journal should be considered in designing the illustrations. All illustrations must be originals, in the form of glossy figures or laser prints. Each illustration must be accompanied by a photocopy.
d) Photographs must be good quality originals, printed on glossy paper.
e) Figure captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.
f) If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures (as hard copies and preferably also as electronic files) then Elsevier Science will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier Science after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork.
Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting colour figures to 'grey scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for colour in print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the colour illustrations.
5. Proofs and reprints
a) One set of PDF proofs will be e-mailed to the corresponding author to be checked for typesetting/editing. Proofs should be returned within 2 working days. In order to achieve a high speed of publication, articles may be published without corrections if no timely response is received. It is important to ensure that all corrections are sent back in one communication, by the corresponding author.
b) Twenty-five reprints of each article are supplied free of charge. A form for ordering extra reprints will be sent to the corresponding author on receipt of the accepted manuscript by the publisher.
THERE ARE NO PAGE CHARGES
APPENDIX
Guidelines to estimate the length of an article more precisely:
a) An average article opening (title up to and including the abstract) is between 1/2-1 a page (depending on the number of authors and affiliations. Approximately 5 authors per line and 1 line for each affiliation).
b) A journal page with only typeset text contains about 750 words.
c) A 1-column figure takes up about 1/5 page (a 1-column figure consisting of several subfigures takes up about 1 column (=1/2 page)), a 2-column figure about 1/2 a page (a 2-column figure of several subfigures takes up about 2/3 page up to 1 page or more) depending of course on the size and details of the figure.
d) A 1-column table takes up about 1/5 page (depending of course on the number of entries; 5 entries is equivalent to approximately 4 lines normal text), a 2-column table takes up about 1/2 a page.
e) A 1-line free-standing equation is equivalent to about 30 words (or approximately 4 lines).
f) The space taken up by a figure can be estimated by reducing its size to the width of 1 column (7.5 cm) and then see if the figure is still legible. If not, the legends to the axes and the lettering should be enlarged, so the figure still fits in 1 column. If this is not possible the figure should be placed in two columns (maximum width 16 cm).
g) It is strongly recommended to take a look at the journal, since this gives a good indication regarding the layout of the title page, figures and tables.
