About the journal
Vadose Zone Journal (VZJ) is an outlet for interdisciplinary research and assessment of the vadose zone, the mostly unsaturated zone between the soil surface and the permanent groundwater table. The scientific community has an increasing need for effective dissemination of information about the physical, chemical, and biological processes operating in this zone. Currently no scientific journal focuses specifically on the vadose zone, and we trust that VZJ will fill this gap. The journal will provide a forum for vadose zone research and assessment using electronic procedures for manuscript submission, review, and publication.
The vadose zone has long been the focus of research and assessment by scientists concerned with soil water flow and the fate and transport of chemicals stemming from agricultural practices or waste disposal operations. This focus has broadened considerably in recent years. Many industrial, municipal, and engineering activities are now also known to have an impact on the vadose zone, and hence indirectly all of the subsurface environment. As a result, many state and federal agencies, such as EPA, DOE, DOD, NASA, and NSF, are increasingly addressing vadose zone issues, including serving as funding agencies for vadose zone investigations. The vadose zone is now the active domain of scientists and professionals in a broad range of disciplines. These disciplines include soil physics, geophysics, hydrogeology, geochemistry, soil chemistry, microbiology, terrestrial ecology, environmental engineering, agricultural engineering, and engineering associated with construction, petroleum, and chemical technologies.
Vadose Zone Journal will report fundamental and applied research from disciplinary and multidisciplinary investigations, including assessment and policy analyses of single- and multi-issue concerns involving the vadose zone. Our goal is to disseminate information to facilitate science-based decision making and sustainable management of the vadose zone. Examples of topic areas suitable for VZJ are variably saturated fluid flow, heat and solute transport in granular and fractured media, flow processes in the capillary fringe at or near the water table, water table management, regional and global climate change impacts on the vadose zone, carbon sequestration, design and performance of waste disposal facilities, biogeochemical transformation processes, microbial processes in shallow and deep formations, bioremediation, and the fate and transport of radionuclides, inorganic and organic chemicals, colloids, viruses and microorganisms. VZJ will also address yet-to-be-resolved issues, such as how to quantify heterogeneity of subsurface processes and properties, and how to couple physical, chemical, and biological processes across a range of spatial scales from the molecular to the global.

General RequirementsThe Vadose Zone Journal (VZJ) will report fundamental and applied research from disciplinary and multidisciplinary investigations, including assessment and policy analyses, of the mostly unsaturated zone between the soil surface and the groundwater table. The goal is to disseminate information to facilitate science-based decision-making and sustainable management of the vadose zone. Examples of topic areas suitable for VZJ are variably saturated fluid flow, heat and solute transport in granular and fractured media, flow processes in the capillary fringe at or near the water table, water table management, regional and global climate change impacts on the vadose zone, carbon sequestration, design and performance of waste disposal facilities, long-term stewardship of contaminated sites in the vadose zone, biogeochemical transformation processes, microbial processes in shallow and deep formations, bioremediation, and the fate and transport of radionuclides, inorganic and organic chemicals, colloids, viruses, and microorganisms. Vadose Zone Journal will also address yet-to-be-resolved issues, such as how to quantify heterogeneity of subsurface processes and properties, and how to couple physical, chemical, and biological processes across a range of spatial scales from the molecular to the global.
Contributions to VZJ may be reviews and analyses, original research papers, notes, comments or letters to the editor, and book reviews. Notes typically would involve studies with limited scope, preliminary data or models, or unique observations, as well as analytical techniques, laboratory and field instrumentation, and computer software.
Original research findings are interpreted to mean the outcome of scholarly inquiry, investigation, modeling, or experimentation having as an objective the revision of existing concepts, the development of new concepts, or the development of new or improved techniques in some aspect of the vadose zone.
The Publications Handbook and Style Manual is the official guide for the preparation and editing of papers.
SubmissionsManuscript Tracker: Complete manuscripts should be submitted as PDF files at Manuscript Tracker (http://www.manuscripttracker.com/vzj/). PDF files are required and file sizes are restricted to 10 MB. Use the page numbering and line numbering functions in your original file to allow discussion of particular sections of the manuscript. New users will be asked to register at this site and will receive a User Name and Password.
Reviewers: Authors using Manuscript Tracker will be prompted to provide a list of potential reviewers. These reviewers must not have a conflict of interest involving the authors or paper, and the editorial board has the right to not use any reviewers suggested by authors.
Revision of Manuscripts: Authors have seven weeks to review and return their manuscript following reviewer and associate editor comments. Manuscripts may be released if revisions are not received, and the paper will have to be submitted as a new manuscript.
ManuscriptsTitle: A short title, not exceeding 12 words, is required. It must accurately describe the manuscript contents.
Author-Paper Documentation: In a footnote on the title page, include all authors' names and complete mailing addresses. Use an asterisk in the author byline to identify the corresponding author. Professional titles are not listed. Other information, such as grant funding, may be included here or placed in an acknowledgment. From time to time, authors names are either added or deleted from a given manuscript between the time of submission and publication. In situations such as this the ethical and responsible manner of handling this type of change is for the lead author to advise the author being added or deleted of the addition or deletion and to notify, in writing, the Editor and Managing Editor of the journal.
Abstract: An informative, self-explanatory abstract, not exceeding 250 words (150 words for notes), must be included. It should state specifically why and how the study was made, what the results were, and why they are important.
Tables: Each table must be on a separate page and numbered consecutively. Do not duplicate matter presented in figures. Use the following symbols for footnotes in the order shown: ? ? ? ? #, ‡‡, ..., etc. The symbols *, **, and *** are used to show statistical significance at 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001 levels, respectively, and are not used for other footnotes.
Figures: Type figure captions in the word-processing file following the references. Authors can publish color photos, figures, and maps. Label all figure parts. Prepare graphs and charts that will read well both on screen and as a PDF file printed from an office-quality printer. The final journal will include a PDF version of each article that closely resembles a printed journal; thus, make the figure type large enough to be legible after reduction to a final width of 8.5 cm (1 column) or 18 cm (2 columns). Authors can test a figure's legibility by reducing it to this size on a photocopier. Use open style or block letters and heavy lines that don't disappear with reduction. Any legend for graph lines or symbols should appear in the figure itself rather than in the captions.
References: The author-year system is required; numbered references are not allowed. Single-authored articles should precede multiple-author articles for which the individual is senior author. Two or more articles by the same author(s) are listed chronologically; two or more in the same year are indicated by the letters a, b, c, etc. The reference list can include theses, dissertations, abstract publications, and accessible online material. Material such as personal communications or privileged data should be cited in the text in parentheses. For chapters from books, include author(s), year, chapter title, pages, editor(s), book title, and publisher's name and location. For proceedings references, include author(s), year, article title, pages, editor(s), proceedings' title, location, date, and publisher's name and location. Authors should make sure that all references cited in the text, tables, and figure captions are listed in the reference section and vice versa. Authors should also be sure that spellings of names and dates of the references listed match the citations.
Nomenclature: Both the accepted common name and the chemical name of pesticides must be given upon first mention in the manuscript. Use chemical symbols for elements and ions, except at the beginning of a sentence or in a title or heading. The Latin binomial or trinomial and authority must be included with the common name for all plants, insects, pathogens, and animals at first mention. When referring to soils, give at least the subgroup in accord with the U.S. system of soil taxonomy. Ideally, both the series and complete family name should be given.
SI Units: The International System of Units (SI) must be used. Corresponding English or metric units may be included in parentheses after the SI value.
Official SourcesSpelling: Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary.
Soil: For soil series names see Soil Series of the United States, Including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USDA-SCS Misc. Publ. 1483, http://ortho.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov/cgi-bin/osd/osdname.cgi. Amendments to the U.S. system of soil taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 1975) have been issued in the National Soil Survey Handbook (NRCS, 1982-1996) and in Keys to Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 1996). Updated versions of these and other resources are available at http://soils.usda.gov/. The Glossary of Soil Science Terms is available both in hard copy (SSSA, 2001) and on the SSSA Web page (www.soils.org/sssagloss/). It contains definitions of more than 1800 terms, a procedural guide for tillage terminology, an outline of the U.S. soil classification system, and the designations for soil horizons and layers.

Manuscript Publication FeesMembership in Soil Science Society of America is not a requirement for publication in VZJ. A manuscript publication fee of $650.00 is charged per paper. Figures are additional. No publication fee is charged for invited review papers, comments, letters to the editor, or book reviews. Authors may purchase reprints and PDF files. Reprint orders and publication charges are invoiced after the complete issue goes online.
Final Accepted ManuscriptExecutive Summaries: Authors of accepted manuscripts will be asked to prepare a short (350 characters) summary of their paper to be included in the Table of Contents. Please contact the Associate Editor handling executive summaries as soon as you receive the acceptance letter.
Sending the Final Manuscript: When your paper is accepted, the following are needed for production:
- Final Accepted Manuscript (hard copy or pdf file), including all last-minute minor corrections
- Matching File for Editing (MS Word is preferred). TeX files are not accepted because they do not work with our copyediting and layout system. Use keyboard formatting if possible (i.e., bold, super-/subscripts, simple variables, Greek font, etc.) and use MathType or the Word equation editor for display equations. Submit tables in a word-processing format, not as graphics.
- Figure Files. Files accepted are pdf, TIF, or EPS. Be sure to check the quality of the file before you send it. A single pdf file with all figures is acceptable. If sending TIF or EPS files, please send one for each figure, joining multi-panel figures into one image. EPS files often do not work if the fonts have not been converted to graphics. Some programs allow export of particular file types, but result in poor resolution. Name files with the manuscript number, figure number, and file type extension. Artwork files should adhere to the following resolution settings: 300 dpi for line art; 150 for color, grayscale, or combinations of line art and halftones. Color should be RGB rather than CMYK. Do not include figure legends or other extraneous text in a graphic file. Please do not submit graphics as PowerPoint files, table files such as Excel, or embedded in the word-processing file. For more detailed instructions on digital image files, see the Guidelines for Preparing Digital Image Files for Online-Only Journals.
Final manuscripts files may be uploaded at http://www.manuscripttracker.com/vzj/finaldocs.htm. You will need to enter your Manuscript Tracker User Name, Password, and Manuscript Number to enter the page where files will be uploaded. It will only be possible to upload files if your paper has been accepted. Do not try to upload it in the Author screen of the Review screens in Manuscript Tracker. Authors are requested to include in the electronic transfer a separate file that serves as a cover letter and includes all manuscript and file description information. File names should include the Manuscript Number. Files may also be sent directly to the managing editor by mail or email.
For additional information or assistance, contact the Managing Editor at SSSA Headquarters, 677 S. Segoe Rd., Madison, WI 53711, USA.
