About the journal
|
Geomicrobiology Journal is a unified vehicle for research and review articles in this rapidly growing field. Articles deal with microbial transformations of materials composing the earth's crust, including oceans, seas, lakes, bottom sediments, soils, mineral deposits, and rocks, and the geological impact these transformations have to present or have had over geologic time. In this context, the functions of bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, micro-algae, protoists, and related micro-organisms as geomechanical or geochemical agents are examined.
Articles may stress the nature of specific micro-organisms and their activities in a geomicrobial context, or the geological consequences of geomicrobial activity. The journal covers basic topics such as: microbial weathering of rocks; microbial roles in formation and degradation of specific minerals; mineralization of organic matter; subsurface microbiology; biogeochemical cycling of elements; isotopic fractionation and paleomicrobiology. Applied topics such as bioleaching microbiology and petroleum geomicrobiological prospecting, and groundwater microbiology are also covered. Included are the application of new techniques such as molecular and nano- and microscale.

Instructions to Authors
Geomicrobiology Journal provides a unified vehicle for the publication of research and review articles in the rapidly growing field of geomicrobiology. Articles deal with microbial transformations of materials comprising the earth's crust, including oceans, seas, lakes, bottom sediments, soils, mineral deposits, and rocks, and the geologic impact that these transformations have at present or have had over geologic time. In this context, the functions of bacteria, yeasts, fungi, microalgac, protozoans, and related microorganisms and their activity in the geomicrobial context, or the geological consequences of geomicrobial activity, are addressed. Geomicrobiology Journal covers basic topics such as microbial roles in formation and degradation of specific minerals, mineralization of organic matter, biogeochemical cycling of elements, isotopic fractionation and palcomicrobiology, and applied topics such as fossil fuel microbiology, the microbiology involved with bioleaching of ores, geomicrobiological prospecting, and groundwater microbiology.
Manuscripts should be sent in triplicate to the editor nearest you:

Manuscript
Manuscripts will be accepted with the understanding that their content is unpublished and not being submitted for publication elsewhere. All parts of the manuscript, including the title page, abstract, keywords, tables, and legends should be typewritten, double-spaced on one side of white bond in English. Allow margins of at least 1 in. (3 cm) on all sides of the typed pages. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Translations of papers previously published in languages other than English can be considered, but this information must be provided by the author at the time of submission.
Title
All titles must be as brief as possible, 6 to 12 words. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces.
Affiliation
Include full names of authors, academic and/or other professional affiliations, and the complete mailing address of the author to whom proofs and correspondence should be sent.
Abstract
Each paper should be summarized in an abstract of not more than 250 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text.
Keywords
Authors must supply from three to ten alphabetized key words or phrases that identify the most important subjects covered by the paper.
Style
All papers must follow the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual (CBE). Follow Webster's Third New International Dictionary as the authority for spelling and hyphenation of words. Avoid breaking words at the end of lines. Systeme International (SI) or modern metric units are used. Stable hydrogen, carbon and oxygen isotope-ratio data should be reported in accordance with the official IUPAC recommendations found in Pure. Appl. Chem. vol. 66, pp. 273-276 and 2423-2444 (1994). Nonstandard abbreviations should be defined at first mention. Standard abbreviations (refer to the CBE Style Manual) do not require definition.
References
Citations in the text are by author(s) and date in parentheses. Full citations should be arranged alphabetically and must conform to the CBE Style Manual. Exclude from this listing references to theses, abstracts, unpublished data, personal communications, and manuscripts in preparation, submitted for publication, or in press. Reference to such sources should appear parenthetically in the text.
Journal article:
Cloud, P. 1965. Significance of the gunflint (Precambrian microflora). Science 148:27-45.
Book chapter:
Friedmann, E. I., and R. Ocampo-Friedman. 1984. Endolithic microorganisms in extreme dry environments: Analysis of a lithobiotic microbial habitat. In J. J. Klug and C. A. Reddy (eds.). Current Perspectives in Microbial Ecology, pp. 177-185. American Society for Microbiology, Washington, DC.
Figures
All figures must be submitted in camera-ready form. Xerox copies are not acceptable. Figures must be submitted either as black-and-white glossy photographs or photostats (bromides). Label each figure with article title, author's name, and figure number by attaching a separate sheet of white paper to the back of each figure and also indicate "top." Do not write on the camera-ready art. Each figure should be provided with a brief descriptive legend. All legends should be typed on a separate page at the end of the manuscript. colour illustrations cannot usually be included, unless paid for by the author. The charge for the first figure is $1200. Subsequent figures, totalling no more than 4 text pages, are $500.00 each. Good quality colour prints should be provided, in their final size. Figures needing reduction or enlargement will cost an additional 25%. The publisher has the right to refuse publication of colour prints deemed unacceptable.
Tables
All tables must be double spaced and discussed or mentioned in the text and numbered in order of mention. Each table should have a brief descriptive title. Do not include explanatory material in the title: use footnotes, keyed to the table with superior lower-case letters. Place all footnotes to a table at the end of the table. Define all data in the column heads. Every table should be fully understandable even without references to the text and should supplement the text rather than duplicate it.
Permissions to Reprint
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources. If any figure, table, or more than 100 words of text from previously published material is included in a manuscript the author must obtain written permission for republication from the copyright holder.
Transfer of Copyright
Under the copyright law, the transfer of copyright from author to publisher must be explicitly stated to enable the publisher to ensure maximum dissemination of the author's work. The complete form must be returned to the editor before any manuscript can be assigned an issue for publication.
Page Proofs
All proofs must be corrected and returned to the publisher within 48 hours of receipt. If the manuscript is not returned within the allotted time, the editor will proofread the article and it will be printed per his instruction. Only correction of typographical errors is permitted. The author will be charged for additional alterations to text at the proof stage.
Reprints
The corresponding author of each article will receive 50 free reprints of the article. Additional reprints may be ordered from Taylor & Francis. Use the reprint order form included with page proofs.
