About the journal
|
 |
The journal Comptes Rendus Geoscience covers the following fields in Earth Sciences, among which are included the specific fields:
External geophysics, Climate and environment
Internal geophysics
Geomaterials
Geochemistry
Surface Geosciences
Oceanography
Stratigraphy
Tectonics
Geodynamics
History of sciences
Articles presented are original notes describing briefly an important discovery, short review papers or historic chronicles. The heading entitled Perspective gathers short articles written by associate editors who are particularly aware of specific fields, and are thus able to situate their articles in a wider scientific environment than that used for the first report of a discovery.
The Comptes Rendus Geoscience aim at keeping a high scientific level and a prime position among the rapid publication scientific journals. The scientific quality of articles is guaranteed by international peer-reviewing.
Several thematic issues, coordinated by guest editors will be published in 2003.
The periodicity of this series, 16 issues per year, allows rapid publication. You will be able to read articles about scientific discoveries, two or three months after their acceptation.
Articles are written either in English or in French and must be included a synthesis of at least one page the second language.
Texts come from the whole international community and diffusion is regularly widening throughout the world, with an increasing number of readers and authors, especially in the countries where the contribution to scientific advancements is particularly active.

Contributions (hereafter called articles) published by this journal are either notes submitted spontaneously or articles (Concise Review Paper..., History of Sciences) written on invitation of the Editorial Committee or constituting part of a thematic special issue.
The Comptes rendus provide for very rapid publication (within 8 weeks of acceptance of the manuscript) and for a worldwide distribution. Please follow these instructions carefully so that your manuscript may be handled expeditiously. They are liable to modifications. As a consequence, we request that authors always consult the last issue available, or the publisher?s web site (http://www.elsevier.fr).
Submission and reviewing of manuscripts
Submission of a research paper implies that it reports unpublished work of general interest and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscripts (in quadruplicate) must be submitted to a member of the Academy, a foreign associate or a correspondent, who will communicate the paper to the editorial office. Alternatively, the manuscript may be submitted directly to the executive secretary of the editorial committee who will then find an appropriate person to present it. Every article will be reviewed by at least two appropriate referees selected by the editorial office. Acceptance or rejection of the paper depends on editorial assessment of its suitability and reports from the referees. Changes requested by the reviewers should be sent to the Service des Comptes renduswithin 3 weeks, except in particular cases, to avoid delays before final acceptance of the paper. The scientific field under which it is to be published must be indicated at the time of submission. A list of headings is found at the beginning of each issue. Comments to published articles can be inserted in the journal: they consist in 1 page of text plus 1 page maximum of figures and references. The Comment will be passed on to the authors of the Note concerned, who may reply under the same conditions. The Commentand the authors reply will be submitted to the Member of the Academy who presented the article and to the normal refereeing procedure.
From January 2002 on, a new category named Perspective will present, in the form of short papers, analyses of particularly interesting articles just published in the journal. These analyses will be commissioned by the Editors-in-Chief to specialists of the topic considered. The body of the text, in English, will consist of between a half- and one printed page (between 3 000 and 6 000 characters) with numerous references and, possibly, one figure or one table, if necessary.
Preparation of manuscripts
- Language and length
Contributions can be either bilingual (English-French) or submitted in French. In all cases, it should include two short abstracts (English and French), each of 100 words maximum; figures and tables must also have captions in English and French.
If written in French, a note should not exceed 4 printed pages (a printed page is equivalent to 6 000 characters in total, including letters, symbols and spaces; a quarter-page figure is equivalent to 1 500 characters).
Bilingual notes may extend to 6 printed pages, provided that they include an abridged version in the other language. This abridged version should consist of between one and two printed pages, i.e. between 6 000 and 12 000 characters. It should refer to most of the figures, tables, equations and references of the main version.
The Editor-in-chief may authorize, exceptionally, a maximum of 2 additional pages, with the extra cost being charged to the author (EUR 115 per page inclusive of tax).
On the other hand, in the case of a Concise Review Paper, a micro-review or an article on the History of Science, the page allowance is of 10 printed pages (8 pages of text and figures, 2 pages of references), all eventual costs being paid by the Academy (additional pages, plates).
An article not conforming to these guidelines will be returned to the author.
- Presentation and section of the manuscript
It must be typed, double spaced, on one side of the paper only, and each page must be numbered. Each copy will be accompanied by figures and tables.
Manuscripts should be divided into the following section sequence: title page, abstracts, keywords (maximum 7, in English and French), abridged version in the second language (for bilingual articles), text of the article in the first language, acknowledgements (if desired, maximum 3 lines), references, figure captions, figures, tables. In the case of an article written in English, the 'Academie des sciences' could, if necessary, at the request of the author, provide the translation in French of the abstract and abridged version. This translation would be submitted to the author for approval before publication. The abstract (100 to 150 words) and keywords must be written in French and in English. Section headings should be numbered following the international numbering system (1.; 1.1.; 1.1.1.). Footnotes are not permitted.
- Title page
The first page must indicate: the scientific field under which the article is to be published (only one), followed, if necessary, by a single secondary field; the title in English and in French, short (maximum 80 characters), specific and informative, and including one or two words for indexing purposes; the author?s first name followed by her/his surname; the authors? addresses, including the department, institution, city with postal code, and country. The author to whom proofs are to be sent must be indicated and this address must include his/her telephone/fax numbers and e-mail address.
- References
References must be numbered and listed between square brackets in alphabetical order (all autotext, field, bookmark, caption, cross-reference, etc. options must be avoided since they cannot be exploited). The order is: publications of the single author chronologically ordered, publications of the same author with only one co-author chronologically ordered, publications of the author with more than one co-author, chronologically ordered. All entries in the reference list must correspond to references in the text and vice versa. References must be cited in the text by their number between square brackets. When authors' names are cited in the text (within a sentence), their spelling must be identical to that in the reference list.
The titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the international rules . Bold and italic characters should not be used in the reference list, except when made necessary by the context (for example, in Palaeontology). Multiple references under the same number are not permitted.
Examples are given below of the layout to be used in the reference list.
Article (all authors must be mentioned):
[1] M. Ostroumov, E. Faulques, E. Lounejeva, Raman spectroscopy of natural silica in Chicxulub impactite, Mexico, C. R. Geoscience 334 (2002) 21-26.
Book:
[2] R Van der Voo, Paleomagnetism of the Atlantic, Tethys and Iapetus oceans, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1993.
Chapter in a book:
[3] W.M. Durne, P.L. Hancock, Palaeostress analysis of small-scale brittle structures, in: P.L. Hancock (Ed.), Continental Deformation, Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1994, pp. 101-120.
A list of all the other possibilities (journal supplements, proceedings of a congress, accepted articles, edited books, translations, theses, patents, standards, etc.) is available on request from the Editorial Board.
- Figures
All illustrations should be labelled as figures and numbered using Arabic numerals. Every figure must be cited in the text. A set of original documents or photographs should be provided for reproduction of the figures. Whenever possible, figures should be submitted in their desired final size, i.e. 80 mm wide. Double column figures - if they cannot be avoided - should not exceed 175 mm in width. No original document should exceed A4 size (21 X 29.7 cm); leaflets in either black and white or colour are not accepted. Photographs and half-tones should contain good contrasts. See section below concerning documents supplied in electronic format. Figures in colour are published free of charge at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief (within a limit of 16 pages per year); otherwise they will be charged to the authors (EUR 457 for the first one and EUR 228 for each following one, inclusive of tax).
- Tables
They should be together at the end of the manuscript, even if they appear within the text. They should be numbered using Roman numbers and should be in numerical order in the text. There should not be vertical lines in the tables. A caption is required for each table.
- Conventions and abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined in brackets after their first mention in the text. Internationally accepted units and nomenclature must be used (ISO 31 and ISO 1000). Standard units of measurements and chemical symbols of elements may be used without definition in the manuscript. Names of all new minerals used in a Note must have been agreed by the Commission of New Mineral Names (CNMN) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). English terms can be found in the Dictionary of Petroleum Science and Technology (by M. Moureau and G. Brace, published by the Institut francais du petrole, Editions Technip, 1993, 990 p.), which won the Academie des sciences Prize for 1994.
- Formulae and equations
Mathematical or chemical equations and formulae must be clearly set out; in particular, exponents and indices should be carefully placed. Less common symbols should either be indicated in the margin of the manuscript or in a list. If necessary, special instructions or explanations for the printer should be clearly set out on a separate sheet attached to the manuscript. Moreover, no sentence should begin with a mathematical formula. Each numbered formula must be cited in the text by its number.
- Electronic documents
All articles must be supplied on disk or Zip (Macintosh or PC formatted ? see the document Instructions for the preparation of electronic files, sent to authors by the Service des Comptes rendusand available on the publisher's web site at the address: www.elsevier.fr). The following information should be mentioned on the disk: name of the file, operating system (ex: MS DOS, Apple, Unix), word processor and version number (ex: Word 5.1). Texts will have been preferably edited in Word. Tables must be saved in a separate file, in Word or Excel formats only. Figures should be saved in TIFF (minimum 400 dpi resolution), EPS or Adobe Illustrator formats. EPS format is therefore not suitable for text-containing files. Figures in ?Word? format cannot be used. It is important to check that the files on the disk correspond to the final version. Only Zip disks will be returned.
Proof reading
Proofs should be checked immediately and carefully (only corrections of typographical errors can be made on the proofs) and returned within 48 hours by express (special delivery) mail or by fax to Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier (ESME), 23, rue Linois, 75724 Paris cedex 15, France. If there is no reply within 8 days, the article will be published with just the publisher's corrections.'Author's corrections i.e. any substantial changes to the text and figure made by the author on the proofs, other than typesetting errors or corrections required by the Editor-in-Chief of the Comptes rendus, will be charged to the authors at the normal rate adopted in the printing industry, i.e. 19 inclusive of tax per page with corrections, with a minimum of EUR 38 inclusive of tax per article.
Reprints
Authors will receive 25 reprints of their article free of charge. Additional copies can be obtained at the authors? expense. Reprint order forms are sent out with the proofs and must be returned with them if additional reprints are required.
Return of original figures
Authors wishing to have their original figures returned should request this when returning their corrected proofs
