Article Processing Charges (APCs)Earth System Dynamics is committed to the Open Access model of publishing. This ensures free web access to the results of research and maximum visibility for published papers. However, it requires the author or a supporting institution to pay the costs of the review process, typesetting, web publication and long term archiving. These article processing charges are categorized according to the submitted material and levied for the publication in the discussion forum, while the publication in the journal is then free of charge.
|
The discussion paper style leads to three times more pages than the classic manuscript style. Rule of thumb: discussion pages = characters / 1,900 + # tables + # figures |

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission
First Steps
Before the actual submission of a manuscript to the Editorial Support for peer-review, you are kindly requested:
File Submission for Review Process
After the manuscript registration, you are kindly asked to upload those files which are necessary for the peer-review process. These are at least:
- The abstract (title, authors, affiliations, abstract text, sample ) as *.pdf file;
- The complete manuscript (abstract, text, tables, figures) as *.pdf file.
Other possible review files are:
- Any supplementary material (if available) as *.zip archive or single *.pdf file. The overall file size of a supplement is limited to 50 MB. Authors of larger supplements are kindly asked to submit their files to a reliable data repository and to insert a link in the manuscript. Ideally, this linkage is realized through DOIs (digital object identifier);
- The author's response (also final author comment in the public discussion) in case of "minor" or "major" revisions, as one separate *.pdf file (indicating page and line numbers), structured in a clear and easy to follow sequence: (1) comments from referees/public, (2) author's response, (3) author's changes in manuscript. Regarding author's changes, it is recommended to provide a marked-up manuscript version (track changes in Word, latexdiff in LaTeX) converted into *.pdf and combined with the author's response.
File Submission for Production Process
After the acceptance of a manuscript, you will be informed by email and are kindly asked to complete the file upload for the publication production process. Then, please submit the following files:
- The actual text followed by the table(s) and figure caption(s) prepared in the way as outlined in the Manuscript Preparation as one file in LaTeX (as *.tex file) or MS WORD format (as *.doc file);
- All figures, numbered e.g. f01, f02, ..., f11, f01a, f01b, and prepared in the way as outlined in the Manuscript Preparation, as one *.zip archive (or other compressed formats). Possible figure formats are *.pdf, *.ps, *.eps, *.jpg, *.png, *.tif, and *.gif.
Remark on File Sizes
Authors are kindly asked to find the best balance between good quality of figures and submitted material on the one hand, and to keep the overall file size limited on the other hand. Individual figures should not exceed 5 MB, and the overall size of all submitted files excluding supplements should not exceed 30 MB.
Manuscript Types
- Research Articles report significant advances in the scientific understanding of Earth system interactions and changes within the scope of the journal.
- Review Articles summarise the status of knowledge and outline future directions of research within the scope of the journal. Before preparing and submitting a review article, please contact an editor covering the relevant subject area and a chief editor.
- Short Communications report particularly concise and innovative/controversial perspectives on the Earth system.
- Peer-reviewed Comments continue the discussion of preceding papers beyond the limits of immediate interactive discussion, and are restricted to comment on peer-reviewed, published papers in ESD. They may be longer and submitted later than the comments exchanged in the Interactive Public Discussion of papers in ESDD . They undergo the same process of peer-review, publication and interactive discussion as articles and technical notes, and they are equivalent to the peer-reviewed comments in traditional scientific journals. The manuscript title should start with "Comment on" or "Reply to".
- For manuscripts that are focused on one rather than multiple components of the Earth system, we recommend submission to the corresponding EGU interactive open access journals: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP), Biogeosciences (BG), Solid Earth (SE), Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS), Ocean Science (OS), The Cryosphere (TC). For manuscripts that are focused on past rather than future climate, we recommend submission to the EGU interactive open access journal Climate of the Past (CP). For technical papers dealing with the description, development and benchmarking of numerical models and model components we recommend submission to the EGU interactive open access journal Geoscientific Model Development (GMD).
- Corrigenda correct errors in preceding papers. The manuscript title reads as follows: Corrigendum to "TITLE" published in JOURNAL, VOLUME, PAGES, YEAR. Please note that Corrigenda are only possible for final revised journal papers and not for the corresponding Discussion Paper.
Manuscript Preparation Guidelines for Authors
The following sections provide guidelines for authors on how to compose their manuscript. Please follow these standards to ensure a smooth peer-review and production process.
Manuscript Composition
For the review process a *.pdf file of the complete manuscript is required and the pages should be placed in the following order: title page, abstract, text, appendices, acknowledgements, references, tables and figures. All pages must be numbered consecutively and line numbers must be included.
- Title Page: Title (concise but informative), author initials and last names, full institutional addresses of all authors, correspondence email for proofs.
- Abstract: The abstract should be intelligible to the general reader without reference to the text. After a brief introduction of the topic, the summary recapitulates the key points of the article and mentions possible directions for prospective research. Reference citations should not be included in this section, unless urgently required, and abbreviations should not be included without explanations.
- Sections: The headings of all sections, including introduction, results, discussions or summary must be numbered. Three levels of sectioning are allowed, e.g. 3, 3.1 and 3.1.1.
- Footnotes: These should be avoided, as they tend to disrupt the flow of the text. If absolutely necessary, they should be numbered consecutively. Footnotes to tables should be marked by lowercase letters.
- Author contribution: Authors are encouraged to add a section "Author contribution" before the acknowledgements in which the contributions of all co-authors are briefly described. Example: A. A. and B. B. designed the experiments and C. C. carried them out. D. D. developed the model code and performed the simulations. A. A. prepared the manuscript with contributions from all co-authors.
- Appendices: These should be labelled with capital letters: Appendix A, Appendix B etc. Equations, figures and tables should be numbered as (A1), Fig B5 or Table C6, respectively.
- Figures: It is important for the production process that separate figures are submitted. Composite figures containing multiple panels should be collected into one file before submission. The figures should be labelled correctly with Arabic numerals (e.g. fig01, fig02). They can be submitted in *.pdf, *.ps, *.eps, *.jpg, *.png, or *.tif format and should have a resolution of at least 150-300 dpi. The width should not be less than 8 cm. A legend should clarify all symbols used and should appear in the figure itself, rather than verbal explanations in the captions (e.g. "dashed line" or "open green circles").
Tips for producing high-quality line graphics:
- The first choice should be vector graphics in *.eps or *.pdf format.
- If this is not possible, a bitmap image should be saved in a "non-lossy" format, e.g. *.png. A high resolution is recommended. It is always possible to reduce the size of the figure later.
- The *.jpg format should only be used for photos. It is not suitable for sharp edges. Note that it is not advisable to convert a *.jpg file back to *.png.
- Figure captions: Each illustration should have a concise but descriptive caption. The abbreviations used in the figure must be defined, unless they are common abbreviations or have already been defined in the text. Figure captions should be included in the text file and not in the figure files.
- Plot data: Authors are encouraged to put the data needed to create the plots, which are included in the manuscript, in a supplement to the published article (see below). Then, reviewers and readers are able to reproduce the plots.
- Tables: Any tables should appear on separate sheets after the references and should be numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals. For the production of the accepted manuscript, they should be submitted as MS WORD or included in the LaTeX file. Tables submitted as a PDF or an image file cannot be processed. Tables should be self-explanatory and include a concise, yet sufficiently descriptive caption. Horizontal lines should normally only appear above and below the table, and as a separator between the head and the main body of the table. Vertical lines must be avoided.
- Data sets: Authors are kindly asked to follow our data policy including the deposit of data that correspond to journal articles in reliable data repositories, the assignment of digital object identifiers, and the proper citation of a data set.
- Supplementary material: Authors have the opportunity to submit supplementary material with their manuscript, such as plot data, movies, animations, highly detailed and specific technical information, such as computer programme code, user manuals, maps, very large images, etc. These files will receive a DOI (digital object identifier) and will be published online along with the article as *.zip archive (or single *.pdf file). As a supplement cover page including title, authors, and the correspondence email will be added to the supplement during publication, please avoid providing this information in the supplement. The overall file size of a supplement is limited to 50 MB. Authors of larger supplements are kindly asked to submit their files to a reliable data repository and to insert a link in the manuscript. Ideally, this linkage is realized through DOIs. The supplementary material shall contain only complementary information but no scientific interpretations or findings/messages that would go beyond the contents of the manuscript.
- File size: Authors are kindly asked to find the best balance between the quality of figures and submitted material on the one hand, and a manageable file size on the other hand. Individual figures should not exceed 5 MB, and the overall size of all submitted files, excluding supplements, should not exceed 30 MB.
- Evaluation Criteria: While preparing their manuscript, authors are kindly requested to consider the manuscript evaluation criteria to meet the quality standards and to reduce the peer review processing time.
References
Papers should make proper and sufficient reference to the relevant formal literature. Informal or so-called "grey" literature may only be referred to if there is no alternative from the formal literature. Works cited in a manuscript should be accepted for publication or published already. These references have to be listed alphabetically at the end of the manuscript under the first author's name. Works "submitted to", "in preparation", "in review", or only available as preprint should also be included in the reference list. Please do not use bold or italic writing for in-text citations or in the reference list.
Please supply the full author list with last name followed by initials. After the list of authors, the complete reference title needs to be named. Journal names are abbreviated according to the ISI Journal Title Abbreviations Index , followed by the volume number, the complete page numbers (first and last page) and the publication year. If the abbreviation of a journal name is not known, please use the full title. In addition to journal articles, all reference types are summarized together with examples in the Copernicus Publications Reference Types list.
If there is more than one work by the same first author, his/her papers are listed in the following order: (1) single author papers (first author), followed by (2) co-author papers (first author and second author), and finally (3) team papers (first author et al.). Within these three categories the respective papers are then listed as follows:
- Single author papers: chronologically, beginning with the oldest. If there is more than one paper in the same year, a letter (a, b, c) is added to the year, both in the in-text citation as well as in the reference list.
- Co-author papers: first alphabetically according to the second author's last name, and then chronologically within each set of co-authors. If there is more than one paper in the same year per set of co-authors, a letter (a, b, c) is added to the year both in the in-text citation as well as in the reference list.
- Team papers: first chronologically (beginning with the oldest), independent of the team author names, then alphabetically within each year according to the second (third, etc.) author. If there is more than one paper in the same year for a first author (independent of the team), a letter (a, b, c) is added to the year both in the in-text citation as well as in the reference list.
In terms of in-text citations, the order can be based on relevance, as well as chronological or alphabetical listing, depending on the author's preference.
Examples for Reference Sorting
In general, in-text citations can be displayed as "[…] Smith (2009) […]", or "[…] (Smith, 2009) […]".

Textual and Visual Conventions
- Mathematical Symbols and Formulae: In general, mathematical symbols are typeset in italics. The most notable exceptions are function names (e.g. sin, cos), chemical formulas and physical units, which are all typeset with the normal (upright) font. Matrices are printed in bold face, and vectors in bold face italics. A range of numbers should be specified as "a to b" or "a...b". The expression "a–b" is only acceptable in cases where no confusion with "a minus b" is possible.
- Equations: These should be numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right-hand side, i.e. (1), (2), etc. If too long, split them accordingly. If there are chemical formulae included, i.e. reactions, please number them (R1), (R2), etc. When using WORD, the equation editor and not the graphic mode should be used under all circumstances.
- Units: The metric system is mandatory and, wherever possible, SI units should be used. Also units in the denominator should be formatted with negative exponents, e.g. km h-1 instead of km/h.
- Date and Time: 25 July 2007 (dd month yyyy), 15:17:02 (hh:mm:ss). Often it is necessary to specify the time if referring to local time or Universal Time Coordinated. This can be done by adding "LT" or "UTC", respectively.
- Abbreviations and Acronyms: Equations should be referred to by the abbreviation "Eq." and the respective number in parentheses, e.g. "Eq. (14)". However, when the reference comes at the beginning of a sentence, the unabbreviated word "Equation" should be used, e.g.: "Equation (14) is very important for the results; however, Eq. (15) makes it clear that..." The abbreviations "Sect." and "Fig." should be used when they appear in running text and should be followed by a number unless they come at the beginning of a sentence, e.g.: "The results are depicted in Fig. 5. Figure 9 reveals that..." If acronyms or abbreviations are used throughout the article, they should be defined at first occurrence, e.g.: leaf area index (LAI), National Research Foundation (NRF). If these names or concepts are also mentioned in the abstract, they should be defined there as well.
- Capitalization: In addition to proper nouns, capitalization of the first letter is applied for titles, section headings, figure and table captions but only for the first word. Abbreviations and expressions in the text such as Chap(s)., Fig(s)., Table(s), Eq(s)., Sect(s)., Paper, Theorem, etc. should always be capitalized when used with numbers, e.g., Fig. 3, Table 1, Paper III, Sect 2. The words figure(s), table(s), equation(s), theorem(s) in the text should not be capitalized when used without an accompanying number.
- Non-English Words and Phrases: Foreign words that have not come into general use are italicized. Words, phrases and abbreviations referenced in the Webster's are not italicized. For example, et al., cf., e.g., a priori, in situ, bremsstrahlung, and eigenvalue should not be italicized or hyphenated.
Author's Response
The author's response (also final author comment in the public discussion) should be structured in a clear and easy to follow sequence: (1) comments from referees/public, (2) author's response, (3) author's changes in manuscript. Regarding author's changes, it is recommended to provide a marked-up manuscript version (track changes in Word, latexdiff in LaTeX) converted into *.pdf and combined with the author's response.
