About the journal
|
This international English-language journal publishes original research and review articles in structural geology and tectonics. All features and processes of deformation in rocks are considered, at any scale. Specific topics include natural structures such as folds, fractures and fabrics; structural associations in orogenic belts, strike-slip zones and extensional regimes; strain analysis, experimental rock deformation and rock mechanics applied to geology; and theoretical and experimental modelling. Regional structural accounts should be of broad and international interest, and of a thematic nature. There is a section for short notes, discussion/reply items and book reviews. The journal publishes occasional thematic or conference special issues. |

Instructions to Authors
Statement of Editorial and Publication Policies
1. Manuscripts submitted to this Journal should not have been published, or simultaneously submitted, elsewhere.
2. Submitted manuscripts should contain previously unreported results. The overlap of contents between related papers should be confined to the introductory/review sections. If there is any further overlap with papers already published, these papers and the % of overlap should be identified by the authors upon submission.
3. Authors should provide information and preprints on any papers closely related to the submitted paper, which are not yet in the public domain (in review, or in press). If deemed necessary to the review process, these will be copied to reviewers.
4. Authors should consult the Journal's "Instructions for Contributors" for detailed stylistic guidelines, during preparation of their manuscript. Editors may return manuscripts that are grossly inconsistent with these guidelines.
5. Where the submitted manuscript is multi-authored, one individual will need to be the Corresponding Author. It will be assumed that all the authors have been involved in the work, have approved the manuscript, and agree to its submission. It will be the Corresponding Author's responsibility to ensure that all authors approve of the content of the paper and are informed of its progress in the editorial process.
6. Papers that use proprietary data must be accompanied by written permission from the owner of the data. Reviews will not be sought without this permission.
7. The Editor retains the right to return a paper without review if the content is deemed inappropriate. Members of the Editorial Advisory Board may be consulted to assist in such a decision.
8. Manuscripts are sent to at least two referees. The authors are requested to suggest 5 suitable referees for their paper upon submission. Reviewers are requested to treat the manuscript confidentially. They may choose to identify themselves, or remain anonymous.
9. The Editor's judgement is final, with regard to suitability for publication.
10. The Publisher carries responsibility for typesetting, page layout and figure sizing for all accepted papers.
11. Authors are responsible for reading and correcting page proofs of their articles. Proof corrections are normally restricted to typesetting and printing errors. Major changes cannot be undertaken at the proof stage. Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication, by the corresponding author. Subsequent corrections will not be possible, so please ensure your first sending is complete.
Instructions for Contributors
General
1. Manuscripts (three copies), and initial correspondence should be addressed to one of the Editors whose addresses are listed on the inside front cover. Please send an e-mail to your Editor of choice first, to check availability.
2. Submission is taken as agreement to the Journal's Statement of Editorial and Publication Policies listed above.
3. Papers should be in English.
4. Short to moderate length papers are encouraged. Papers will typically be limited to a maximum printed length of 18 pages (i.e. 15,000 words equivalent) except in special circumstances. Estimates should be made, prior to submission, according to the following: text occupies c. 900 words per page, line drawings, photographic figures and tables will be reduced as appropriate. Excessively long papers will normally be returned for shortening before review.
5. Short notes, Comments with Replies, and Letters to the Editors are encouraged. Short notes are normally reserved for articles of up to four printed pages, which will go through a more rapid review procedure. Comments on papers may be considered for publication if received within six months of publication of the printed version of the paper. The authors addressed by the comment will be allowed one month in which to submit a Reply. Both Comments and Replies will be limited to a maximum of threeprinted pages, and will be accepted at the discretion of the handling Editor. There will be no other peer review for Comments or Replies.
6. Three copies of the text, tables and captions should be submitted together with copies of the figures for review.
7. All text should be on double line spacing (8-10 mm), at a minimum font size of 12 point. Left margins should be 3-4 cm, and the right margins not justified.
8. The main text should be paginated, starting with the title/abstract page and ending with the References. Sheets of captions to Figures and Tables should be paginated as separate lists.
9. The figures should be initially submitted for review at the expected published size and layout. Figure parts (a, b, etc.) should normally be arranged together within one page or less.
10. Final versions, only, should be submitted on disk, upon request from the Editor. With prior approval of the editor handling the manuscript, the final version may be submitted as an email attachment.
11. Concise well-prepared papers in the Journal style are likely to be published sooner than those in need of extensive editing and revision.
12. Authors wishing to store supplementary multimedia files for publication alongside the electronic version of article should contact the editor for details of submission.

References in the text should be chronological, of the form (Ramsay and Huber, 1987; Hobbs et al., 1990; Lee and Bruhn, 1996) or "according to Ramsay and Huber (1987)". Papers "in preparation" or "submitted" are not valid references. Work in preparation, unpublished abstracts, and personal and oral communications should be cited in the text but not in the reference list.
6. Keywords. The authors are kindly requested to supply 4-6 keywords of their choice that can be used for indexing/abstracting purposes.
7. All illustrations are called Figures, and should be referred to as Fig. in the text. Figure parts are referred to as Fig. 1 (a) or (Fig. 1a). Multiple figures referred to at the same time should appear as such: Figs. 1 and 2. Figures referenced from other works should not be capitalized (fig. 1 in Evans, 1987).
8. Units should be SI, and expressed in standard abbreviated form.
9. Appendices are encouraged for specific details of methods or mathematics.
Mathematics
1. Authors should provide instructions on how symbols and equations should be set. Letters, used as variables, should be set in italic. For Greek or other non-Roman letters, identify the symbol in words in the left-hand margin the first time it is used.
2. Equations should be numbered serially in the right-hand side, in parentheses. In the text they should be referred to as Eq. (1); within mathematics they may be referred to by numbers alone. Equations require normal punctuation.
3. Computer program listings, if appropriate, must be camera-ready in an Appendix.
Author Enquiries
For enquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission), the status of accepted manuscripts through our "Track a Paper" feature, specific enquiries on the preparation of electronic artwork, multimedia files, author Frequently Asked Questions and any other enquiries relating to Elsevier Science, please consult Elsevier's Author Gateway (http://authors.elsevier.com).
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.
Illustrations
1. Originals of diagrams should be prepared to the intended printed size using high quality laser printing for computer graphics.
2. The maximum printed size of illustrations is 177 x 235 mm. It is recommended that all diagrams are designed with the Journal's two-column layout in mind, and where possible, figures are designed for a single column. Letters or numerals should not be less than 1 mm after reduction. Regular Times or Helvetica typeface with a final (printed) size of 6pt to 8pt type, and equivalent line weights, are preferred. (If drawn for 50% reduction, use 12pt to 16pt fonts.) A small range of print size (less than twofold) is recommended.
3. Avoid fine shading and tones, particularly from computer graphics packages. Shading should be distinct.
4. All maps, field sketches and photographs should include a metric bar scale. Regional maps should include orientation arrows, National Grid or latitude/longitude numbers where appropriate, and inset location maps. Map keys should be given on the figure, not as numbered boxes.
5. Photographs, line drawings, or combinations, may be grouped together as figure parts (a), (b), etc. It is preferred that these are mounted together and labeled accordingly.
6. Photographs (i.e. half-tones) should be sharp black and white glossy prints at the same size as the intended printed size and mounted in the desired layout, either portrait (upright) or landscape (side-ways). To ensure quality production, original photographs must be included in addition to any scanned versions.
7. Color half-tones may be acceptable on merit if the author is prepared to pay for color separations. Details are available from the Chief Editor upon request.
8. Please retain the originals of all illustrations until they are requested. Although original line drawings are preferred, good quality glossy photographs of the originals, at the same size as the intended printed size, are an acceptable substitute. Authors' names and figure numbers should be faintly pencilled on figure originals.
9. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures (as hard copies and as electronic files) then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the web (e.g., Science Direct and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting color figures to 'grey scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for color in print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the color illustrations.
Submission on Disk
The Journal processes accepted manuscripts from disk. Please submit disks only when requested by the editor. All disks must be accompanied by 'hard' copies of text and figures. Final text or figures may be transmitted electronically, via the internet, at the instruction of the Associate Editor handling the paper. Typically, text and figures may be sent as attachments to e-mail, provided that files are in standard formats, examples of which are listed below.
1. Manuscript text from most word processing systems can be handled at Elsevier. The preferred storage medium is a 3 inch floppy disk or zip disk, although CDs are acceptable as well. Label the disk clearly with your name, the operating system and wordprocessor, a short title and the file name. Please keep the paper as one file. It is important to save the file in the wordprocessor format (not in flat ASCII).
2. Illustrations (figures and tables) are welcome in TIFF and EPS format. Label the disk as appropriate for text files. Please note the guidelines for illustrations, above. If considered necessary for publication quality, illustrations submitted on disk will be stylistically modified: e.g. by changes to letter or numeral size, line thickness, and style of shading.
Reprints
Twenty-five copies of each title will be available to authors. Additional copies may be requested using the order form which will be included with proofs. Unless otherwise requested, the original manuscripts and illustrations will be discarded one month after publication.
