Our understanding of soil continues to advance. Better instruments and new techniques allow us to penetrate its structure and monitor its behaviour. Developments in statistical theory backed by sound programming and more powerful computers are leading to more effective survey and spatial prediction. Long-term experiments continue to provide new insight into the soil's response to management. The knowledge and understanding gained are essential for managing land without its deteriorating, and for protecting and restoring it. They should also underlie sound policies in land use regionally and nationally.
The European Journal of Soil Science, as one of the premier journals in the field, fosters that understanding by publishing the latest significant findings of research, the description of new techniques, and up-to-date authoritative and critical reviews over the whole field of soil science and its applications. European Journal of Soil Science welcomes contributions from all countries, and its editorial board has members in four continents. |
Instructions to Authors
Editorial policy is to report the latest significant results of research in soil science and its applications, to describe new technique, and to provide up-to-date, authoritative and critical reviews. The Editor welcomes comments on papers in the Journal, which may be published as Letters to the Editor together with any reply from the authors. Contributions are invited from any country: the preferred language of publication is English, but papers in French are also considered. Papers offered must have been neither published nor submitted for publication elsewhere in any language. There are no page charges.
Editorial correspondence should be sent to:

Scripts
Please send three copies of each paper, including tables and figures, to the Editor. Copy must be on good quality A4 paper with double-line spacing throughout. There should be a left-hand margin of at least 3 cm. Number the pages, including those with references, tables and figure captions, which should follow the text in that order. Follow the style of presentation used in recent issues of the Journal, paying special attention to the style and layout of title (in bold lower case), names of authors (in large and small capitals), their affiliation (in lower case italics or underlined) and also the style of headings and subheadings. Use SI units throughout, printing them in upright type (e.g. mmol kg-1). Symbols for measured or calculated variables, e.g. K for hydraulic conductivity, should be typed in italics. English spelling should follow the Concise Oxford Dictionary.
Provide a succinct title containing the keywords, and a short running head title of no more than 50 characters including spaces.
Summary
Provide an informative summary of no more than 250 words, outlining the scope and giving only the principal findings of the work at the beginning of the paper. Papers in French must have an English summary in addition to a résum?
Citations in the text
Do not cite unnecessarily: in general cite works only if you have read them. For each reference to the literature give the author(s) and the year. If the author(s) are mentioned in the sentence then the year appears in parentheses immediately following the name(s). Alternatively the author(s) and year can both be bracketed and placed appropriately within the sentence or at the end.
Note that for papers with two authors both are mentioned and the '&' is used: for three or more authors only the first author is given followed by 'et al.'. Where several references appear together they are arranged chronologically and then alphabetically. Two or more papers by the same author(s) in the same year are differentiated by adding 'a', 'b', etc., after the year.
Reference list
Give full details in the references at the end of a paper. For periodicals give all authors' names, year of publication, title of article and full name of periodical, together with volume number and full page numbers. For articles or chapters in books give the book title, editor(s), publisher and place of publication. Do not cite unpublished documents other than theses. The following examples are for guidance.
Addiscott, T.M. 1995. Entropy and sustainability. European Journal of Soil Science, 46, 161-168.
Ghassemi, F., Jakeman, A.J. & Nix, H.A. 1995. Salinisation of Land and Water Resources. CAB International, Wallingford.
Nelson, D.W. & Sommers, L.E. 1982. Total carbon, organic carbon, and organic matter. In: Methods of Soil Analysis: Part 2, Chemical and Microbiological Properties, 2nd edn (eds A.L. Page, R.H. Miller & D.R. Keeney), pp. 539-579. American Society of Agronomy, Madison, Wl.
Schmidt, M.G. 1992. Forest land use dynamics and soil fertility in a mountain watershed in Nepal: a GIS evaluation. PhD thesis, University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
Arrange the list alphabetically by first author: where the same first author appears in the list more than once, single-author papers come before two-author papers, which come before multi-authored papers. Within each class arrange papers chronologically.
Tables
Prepare all tables separately and do not insert them in the text. Number them and give them titles. As a general rule, small tables are better than large ones: they should be designed to fit the page dimensions and occupy no more than one printed page. The maximum number of characters (digits or spaces) allowed across the page is 110. Provide a heading to each column, the first letter only of which should be in capitals. Footnotes to tables should be referred to by superscript letters (a, b, etc.) and be double spaced.
Figures
Please provide good quality copies of figures. Figures will be reduced to approximately 50% of their original linear dimensions. They should be prepared for this reduction and also take into account the page size of the Journal. Final size illustrations can either be single column (83 mm), double column (175 mm), or intermediate (115 mm). Lettering should be sans serif and of a size that will be 2-3 mm in height when reduced. Lines should be thick enough to be at least 0.33 mm in width when reduced. Lines and symbols should be 2-3 mm across. Wherever possible small figures should be grouped to fill either a part or a whole page (area: 200 mm ?175 mm) to avoid the cost of many small blocks. Type figure legends on a separate sheet. Please note that in the full-text online edition of the Journal, figure legends may be truncated in abbreviated links to the full screen version. Therefore, the first 100 characters of any legend should inform the reader of key aspects of the figure.
Photographs
Black and white photographs will be accepted when they illustrate some essential point. When several photographs are to be combined, mount on thin white card with 2-3 mm spaces between each panel. Colour photographs can be reproduced, but authors will be charged some or all of the cost, the proportion depending on the importance of the colour.
Electronic submission
Papers are typeset from disk whenever possible. When instructed by the Editor please send a disk containing the text of the paper and figures (see below), and accompanied by a completed File Description Form. Please ensure that the disk is free of viruses. The disk and hard copy versions must be the same. Note the software used, the type of computer, and any non-keyboard characters used. You may send your text and tables as LaTeX source files. If you send word-processor files then do not use the carriage return (enter) at the end of lines within a paragraph. Always enclose a hard copy of figures and tables. Disks will not be returned to authors.
Electronic artwork
We would like to receive your artwork in electronic form. Please save vector graphics (e.g. line artwork) in Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPS), and bitmap files (e.g. half-tones) in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). Ideally, vector graphics that have been saved in metafile (.WMF) or pict (.PCT) format should be embedded within the body of the text file. Detailed information on our digital illustration standards is available at: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp.
Proofs and offprints
Page proofs are supplied to authors for the purpose of correcting printing errors; all other corrections must be kept to an absolute minimum as alterations at this stage are expensive and time-consuming.
Proofs will be sent via email as an Acrobat PDF (portable document format) file. The email server must be able to accept attachments up to 4 MB in size. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following Web site:
www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen, and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Proofs will be posted if no email address is available. In your absence, please arrange for a colleague to access your email to retrieve the proofs.
When authors receive proofs they will also receive an order form for offprints which should be returned to the publisher at the same time as corrected proofs are returned to the Editor.
Copyright
Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to the British Society of Soil Science. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. (Papers subject to government or Crown copyright are exempt from this requirement.) To assist authors the editorial office will supply an appropriate copyright assignment form. Alternatively the form can be downloaded here as a PDF or a Word document.
