Episodes covers developments of regional and global importance in the earth sciences and is distributed worldwide to scientists in more than 150 countries. Articles contributed to Episodes are innovative and of interest to a broad audience of professional scientists having diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Articles include current reviews, new results from research projects of more than local significance, and discussion of the infrastructure of science -- techniques, research programs, organizations, science policy, or technical assistance. It offers geoscientists

Instructions to Authors
Readership
Episodes is distributed to a wide range of scientists in over 150 countries. It aims to keep readers informed of new and current developments in earth science and is a vital communications link in the global geological community.
General Policy
Articles may take the form of current reviews, new research results of international significance, or discussions of the infrastructure of science. The latter may cover techniques, research programs, organizations, information, or national and international policies in earth science. Articles should be written for a broad international readership of professional geoscientists rather than small groups of specialists. The language used should be intelligible to those whose mother tongue may not be English.
Specifications
Articles are normally from 4000 to 6000 words long, but shorter articles are also acceptable. Printed, they generally total five to seven pages, including illustrations. Articles must be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are strongly urged to have their manuscript reviewed before submission by a person whose native language is English. Text should be submitted in hard copy and on diskette preferably in plain ASCII format or compiled in a standard word processing system such as Microsoft Word. Details of the file name, software and hardware (PC compatible or Mac) used should be written on the diskette, which will be returned after copying, upon request. E-mail transfer of text is encouraged whenever facilities are available.
An abstract of no more than 200 words must be included. Acknowledgements may be included in a brief statement at the end of the article. Metric units should be used and all nonstandard symbols, abbreviations and acronyms must be declined. References cited should follow the style shown below. These examples include a serial publication, a map, an abstract, a report of a meeting, and a textbook.

Illustrations
Good illustrations are essential and may include photographs, line drawings or tables incorporating graphics. Tables with text only and without graphics may be placed by the author within the text of the article for typesetting by Episodes staff. Alternatively, text or numerical tables compiled in a standard spreadsheet package may be submitted on diskette along with details of the software used.
Articles are normally published in black-and-white but it may sometimes be possible to include color illustrations. Photographs should be sharp, of good contrast and preferably in the form of prints rather than transparencies or negatives. Other illustrations should be presented as positives, either on transparent film or on white paper (not card). Originals should not be greater than A4 size and lettering should be capable of being reduced to up to 60 percent. Illustrations should be unmounted but protected in the mail by a stout card. Paper clips should not be used.
Do not place captions on any illustrations; number illustrations carefully in soft pencil on the back and list the captions at the end of the article. Please note that photographic prints may be damaged or made unusable by the use of paper clips, by mounting them on card, or by writing on the back.
Illustrations previously published and unchanged from the original must be accompanied by permission from the original publisher to republish. This is the responsibility of the author, not Episodes.

A passport-type photograph and a brief (maximum of 100 words) biographical sketch of each author must accompany each article. If the number of authors of any article exceeds 3, a group photo of all authors or passport-type photograph (s) of at most 3 authors are requested. Address of each author should be typed under the title of the article.
Submission of articles
All articles will be subject to review for interest and scientific soundness. Text for an article and copies of all illustrations may be submitted to the Editor by any convenient means, and must include the author's name and all relevant contact addresses. Original illustrations should be supplied after any changes requested by the Editor have been made and after acceptance of the article. The Editor cannot guarantee that an article will be published on a particular date or in a particular issue of Episodes.
The Editor reserves the right to reject all or any part of the article submitted. The IUGS assumes no responsibility for statements made by contributors.

All accepted articles are edited to conform with the style of Episodes and to improve clarity. When major changes are deemed to be necessary, the Editor will consult with the author by the most convenient means, and the manuscript may be returned to the author for approval or further clarification. Page proofs will not be supplied to authors.
After publication, Episodes will provide the author with three copies of the journal.
