Elsevier Science reserves the right of returning to the author for revision accepted manuscripts and illustrations which are not in the form given in this guide.
The title page should include the name (s) of the author (s), their affiliations, and fax and e-mail numbers. In case of more than one author, please indicate to whom the correspodence should be addressed.
Keywords
Authors should provide 4-6 keywords from the list provided by the Editor. They should be placed beneath the abstract. These keywords can also be accessed from the journal webpage.
Abstract The abstract should be a concise summary of the paper stating the methods used, the main results and the conclusions in a way that does not require reference to the body of the paper or to the bibliographic references; it should not be longer than 500 words.
References
1. All references cited in the text are to be listed at the end of the paper. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spellings of authors' names and publication years are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list. Do not type author's and editor's names in capitals.
2. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year of publication, followed - if necessary - by a short reference to appropriate pages. Examples: "Because Peterson (1994) has shown that...". "This is in agreement with results obtained later (Kramer, 1995, pp. 12-16)".
3. If reference is made in the text to publications written by more than two authors the name of the first author should be used, followed by "et al.". This indication, however, should never be used in the list of references. In this list names of authors and all co-authors must be given in full.
4. References in the text should be arranged chronologically. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names, and chronologically per author. If an author's name in the list is also mentioned with co-authors, the following order should be used: Publications of the single author, arranged according to publication year - publications of the same author with one co-author, arranged according to publication year - publications of the author with more than one co-author, arranged according to publication year.
The following system should be used for arranging references:
a. Journal papers: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of paper. Journal name (given in full or abbreviated using the International List of Periodical Title Word Abbreviations), volume number (issue number): first and last page numbers of the paper.
Example:
Elbaz-Poulichet, F., Guan, D.M. and Martin, J.M., 1991. Trace metal behaviour in a highly stratified Mediterranean estuary: the Krka (Yugoslavia). Mar. Chem., 32: 211-224.
b. Monographs: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of the monograph. Publisher, location of publisher.
Example:
Zhdanov, M.S. and Keller, G.V., 1994. The Geoelectrical Methods in Geophysical Exploration. Elsevier, Amsterdam.
c. Edited volume papers: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of paper. Names and initials of the volume editors, title of the edited volume. Publisher, location of publisher, first and last page numbers of the paper.
Example:
Thomas, E., 1992. Middle Eocene-late Oligocene bathyal benthic foraminifera (Weddell Sea): faunal changes and implications for ocean circulation. In: D.R. Prothero and W.A. Berggren (Editors), Eocene-Oligocene Climatic and Biotic Evolution. Princeton Univ. Press, Princeton, NJ, pp. 245-271.
d. Conference proceedings papers: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of paper. Name of the conference. Publisher, location of publisher, first and last page numbers of the paper.
Example:
Smith, M.W., 1988. The significance of climatic change for the permafrost environment. Final Proc. Int. Conf. Permafrost. Tapir, Trondheim, Norway, pp. 18-23.
e. Unpublished theses, reports, etc.: Names and initials of all authors, year. Title of item. All other relevant information needed to identify the item (e.g., technical report, Ph.D. thesis, institute, etc.).
Example:
Moustakas, N., 1990. Relationships of morphological and physicochemical properties of Vertisols under Greek climate conditions. Ph.D. Thesis, Agricultural Univ. Athens, Greece.
5. In the case of publications in any language other than English, the original title is to be retained. Titles of publications in non-Latin alphabets should be transliterated, and a note such as `(in Russian)' or `(in Japanese, with English Abstr.)' should be added at the end of the reference.
Illustrations
1. All illustrations must be presented separate from the manuscript, unfolded, and as originals. Each illustration must be sharp and drafted at high density on bright white paper, on glossy paper or on drawing film. Authors are reminded to provide copies of all illustrations with the originals.
2. Photographs and micrographs, etc. must be sharp and exhibit good contrast. Original glossy prints (e.g., from negatives) are required. Reproductions of photographs, etc. cannot be accepted. The object being shown must fill the image.
3. All illustrations must be numbered consecutively and referred to in the text.
4. Each illustration should be identified on the reverse side (or - in the case of line-drawings - on the lower front side) by its number and the name of the principle author. Indicate the top of the illustration in cases where doubt may arise.
5. Illustrations must be designed with the page format of the journal in mind. If necessary, they will be reduced to the proper format by the publisher. The lettering and other details must have dimensions that do not become illegible or unclear after the required reduction. Foldouts can only be accepted in exceptional cases. Design all figures in a way that uses all the available space, do not leave large areas blank. Remember that sharp, neat, well presented illustrations will be essential to the readers' appreciation of your paper.
6. Lettering must be drafted sharply and neatly. The lettering must be in the language of the manuscript. The same type of letteringshould be used throughout.
7. Bar scales must be used rather than magnification factors that must be changed in cases of reduction. Do not forget to mention the units used in diagrams.
8. All maps must have north and latitude and longitude indicated.
9. Each illustration must have a caption. All figure captions should be typed on a separate sheet and be double spaced.
10. Explanations must be given in the typewritten caption. Text in the figures should be kept to a minimum.
11. Laser-printed illustrations are acceptable. In such cases please also provide a disc copy (See Electronic Artwork Section under Compuscripts Instructions below)
12. Colour figures can be accepted provided the author is prepared to meet the reproduction costs. Please consult the publisher for further information.
Tables
1. Authors should take note of the limitations set by the size and layout of the journal. A table should not exceed the printed area of the page. If this appears impossible, reversing columns and rows will often make the impossible possible.
2. Large tables should be avoided. Foldouts can only be accepted in exceptional cases. If many data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide these over two or more tables.
3. Tables should be compiled on separate sheets and must be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text must include references to all tables.
4. Each table must have a brief and self-explanatory title. Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Units of measurement should be given in parentheses. Vertical lines must not be used to separate columns - leave extra space between the columns instead.
5. Explanations that are necessary to the understanding of the table should be given as footnotes at the bottom of the table. A footnote should be indicated by a lower-case letter.
6. Tables can also be submitted as glossy prints to avoid errors in typesetting.
Formulae
1. All formulae should be presented consistently and clearly with regard to the meaning of each symbol and its correct location. Formulae must be typed throughout.
2. All unusual symbols must be collected in a separate list in the appendix, giving a clear explanation of each symbol.
3. Please try to keep the notation as simple as possible, and avoid ambiguities. Do not use special typefonts if there is no urgent need to do so.
4. Different formulae should be clearly separated in the manuscript, at least by punctuation marks, if not by words. Avoid breaking formulae if breaking is not strictly necessary (i.e., if the equation is less than one typed line). Never let a sentence consist of formulae alone (i.e., without any connection with the preceding text).
5. Do not use complicated juxtapositions of symbols. Also, try to avoid complicated subscripts and superscripts; third-order indices especially present difficulties as to their size and position, and fourth-order indices are not acceptable.
6. The manuscript must show a clear distinction between similar symbols, (e.g., between zero (0) and the letter O, between one (1) and the letter l, and between multiplication ( ) and the letter x).
7. Important formulae (e.g. definitions) must be displayed. All formulae which are to be referred to later on must be displayed and numbered consecutively throughout the paper; the number should appear on the right-hand side of the page.
8. In chemical formulae the valence of ions must be given as, for example, Ca2+ and CO32 rather than as Ca++ and CO3--.
9. Isotope numbers should precede the symbols (e.g., 18O).
Footnotes
1. Footnotes should only be used if absolutely essential. In most cases it will be possible to incorporate them in the main text.
2. If used, footnotes should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript, indicated by superscript arabic numbers, and kept as short as possible.
Final Manuscript
1.After review authors should submit two copies of a revised manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief. This final manuscript should not contain tables or figures, which must be printed separately. All other requirements of submitted manuscripts must be met.
2.Figures and diagrams will not be redrawn by the publisher, so authors must provide high-quality drawings that are suitable for reproduction in the Journal. Graphics must not be supplied inside word-processed documents. Low-resolution bitmaps, screendumps, and dot-matrix images are not acceptable. Detailed specifications for preparation of computer-generated graphics are available from the Editor-in-Chief.
3.Authors are requested to submit the final text on 3.5" diskettes or CD-ROM. Final manuscripts are acceptable in word processing formats. It is essential that the name and version of the word processing program, the type of computer on which the text was prepared, and the format of the text files are clearly indicated. Authors are requested to ensure that the contents of the diskette correspond exactly to the contents of the hard-copy manuscript. Figures and graphics must be in separate files.
Page proofs
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author by e-mail to be checked for typesetting/editing. The author is not expected to make changes or corrections that constitute departures from the article that was accepted by the editor. Proofs should be returned within 3 days.
Copyright
1. Upon acceptance of an article by the journal, 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.
2. The author is responsible for obtaining permission to use any copyrighted material:
a. When quoting from someone else's work or when considering reproducing an illustration or table from a book or journal article, the author should ensure that he is not infringing copyright.
b. Although in general an author may quote from other published works, he should obtain permission from the copyright holder if he wishes to use substantial excerpts or to reproduce tables, plates, or other illustrations. If the copyright holderis not the author of the quoted or reproduced material, it is recommended that the permission of the author in question is also sought.
c. Material in unpublished letters and manuscripts is also protected and must not be published unless permission has been obtained.
d. A suitable acknowledgement of any borrowed material must always be made.
3. Company clearance, if applicable, should be acquired prior to submission.
4. Submission of a paper for review is interpreted as a statement that the permission to reproduce and company clearance, if applicable, have been acquired.
5. The manuscript of a paper intended for publication in the journal may be reproduced and used elsewhere by the author, with the understanding that no use will be made of the material for commercial purposes.
6. Once the paper has been prepared in publication format by the publisher, the permission of the publisher is required for any use of the paper.
Reprints
Twenty-five reprints of each article (and one hundred reprints of review articles) are supplied free of charge. Additional reprints can be ordered on a reprint order form which will be sent to the corresponding author of the accepted article by the publisher.
Author's Discount
There is a 30% discount on all Elsevier Science book publications. An order form will be sent together with the proofs.
Compuscripts
Elsevier Science encourages the submission of discs of word-processed manuscripts and our aim is to allow you to provide us with your manuscript from your own system, without asking you to follow complicated instructions.
There are some basic points to be kept in mind, however, and we do have certain preferences. Having said this, however, with Elsevier's expertise and facilities it does not really matter which computer or word processing system you have used.
You are requested to submit the final text on a 3.5" diskette, CD or Zip-disk. Both double density (DD) and high density (HD) discs are acceptable. Make sure, however, that the disc is formatted according to its capacity (HD or DD) before copying the files onto it. As with the requirements for manuscript submission, the main text, list of references, tables and figure captions should be stored in separate text files with clearly identifiable file names. The format of these files depends on the word processor used. Texts written with Display Write, MultiMate, Microsoft Word, Samna Word, Sprint, TEX, Volkswriter, Wang PC, WordMARC, WordPerfect and Wordstar or supplied in DCA/RFT or DEC/DX format can be readily processed. In all other cases the preferred format is DOS text or ASCII. It is essential that the name and version of the word processing program, the type of computer on which the text was prepared, and the format of the text files are clearly indicated.
Full details of electronic submission and formats can be obtained from http://authors.elsevier.com.
You are required to ensure that the contents of the disc corresponds exactly to the contents of the hardcopy manuscript. Discrepancies can lead to proofs of the wrong version being made. The word processed text should be in single column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible; in particular, do not use the word processor's options to justify or to hyphenate the words.
Electronic Artwork
If available, electronic files of the figures should be supplied on a separate disk. For specific enquiries on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult http://authors.elsevier.com
Author Services
Authors can also keep a track on the progress of their accepted article, and set up e-mail alerts informing them of changesto their manuscript's status, by using the 'Track a Paper' feature of Elsevier's Author Gateway.
