About the journal
METEORITICS & PLANETARY SCIENCE The Journal of the Meteoritical Society
THE CENTRAL FORUM FOR RESEARCH IN PLANETARY SCIENCE:
The journal publishes invited reviews surveying major topics in planetary science, research articles describing the results of major new studies, editorials on topics of current interest and book reviews. MAPS brings together professional scientists from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines including astronomy, chemistry, geology, physics, and biology.
THE LATEST RESEARCH:
Meteoritics & Planetary Science is published monthly. It is available in hard copy and on-line. 75% of accepted articles are in print within six months of submission.
Instructions to Authors
Meteoritics & Planetary Science is an international journal of planetary science and is the primary journal of the Meteoritical Society. Areas of interest include but are not limited to asteroids, comets, craters, interplanetary dust, interstellar medium, lunar samples, meteors, meteorites, natural satellites, planets, tektites and the origin and history of the Solar System. The journal provides a central forum for related research in astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, and physics.
Several categories of paper are published in the journal. Authors may make recommendations concerning category, but the final decision rests with the Editor. Invited Reviews, Articles, Reports, and Comments/Replies are subject to external review. Announcements and Memorials are reviewed by the Editor. Submitted papers will be judged from the standpoints of scientific originality, appropriateness of the subject matter to the journal and value to the scientific community. Reviewing of clear, well-prepared papers will normally be completed in 30.45 days with the results communicated to the author shortly thereafter. Publication on Prelude , the electronic preprint service of Meteoritics & Planetary Science, occurs within a few days of formal acceptance by the Editor. Publication in the journal (hard copy and electronic) can be expected within 3.4 months of acceptance. Proofs will be supplied for authors' corrections. Reports dealing with routine descriptions of new meteorites or summaries of specific topics, catalogs and inventories, and abstracts of the annual Meteoritical Society meetings will appear in an annual supplement to Meteoritics & Planetary Science. All items appearing in the supplement are subject to normal peer review. Catalogs and Inventories are reviewed by the Nomenclature Committee and Editorial Board, abstracts are reviewed by the Program Committee. The supplement is published with the July or September issue, whichever is closest to the date of the annual Meteoritical Society meeting.
Submission of an article for any section of MAPS or for the supplement is understood to imply that both the whole and the parts of the article are original, unpublished and not being considered for publication elsewhere. If some parts of the paper have been submitted or published elsewhere, the reason for including them must be explained when the manuscript is submitted. The final decision on all submitted papers and their placement in the journal and its supplement rests with the Editor.
Color reproduction in Meteoritics & Planetary Science is available to authors at cost. We encourage the use of color, which often helps considerably in the clear transmittal of data and ideas. Suggestions for author-supplied artwork on the front cover are wel- come, but costs must be borne by the author. Charges for the first figure are: $720. Charges for extra figures often can be substantially reduced depending on placement. Charges for the use of color on the front cover are the same as those for the first figure. Contact Hazel Sears, Managing Editor at the journal offices for further details.
Invited Reviews
These papers are solicited by the Editor acting on behalf of the Editorial Board. They provide a synthesis of a major area of interest to the readership and provide new interpretative insights and/or data. The aim of such reviews is to enhance our understanding of problems of interest to the readers by promoting interaction within the scientific community. The length and scope of Invited Reviews will normally be determined by the Editorial Board and be specified in the invitation to write a review.
Articles
Articles are original papers dealing with major studies that address a significant area of interest to the readers. They should be as concise as possible and should not exceed 40 manuscript pages (including tables, figures and references) without discussions with the Editor before submission.
Reports
Reports are papers dealing either with a single but significant detail of a topic of interest to the readers or with summaries of specific topics. Routine descriptions of new meteorites are included in this category.
Comments and Replies
Comments on articles previously published in Meteoritics & Planetary Science and other journals are actively encouraged pro- vided such comments are constructive. They should normally be submitted within 12 months of the publication of the original article. The author(s) of the original article will be given the opportunity to prepare a brief Reply. The Comment and Reply, published together, are subject to the normal review and revision process.
Book and Multimedia Reviews
Reviews of books, videotapes and computer software that are of interest to the readers are normally solicited by the Editor, but we encourage the submission of reviews or suggestions of new titles that might be reviewed by the journal. Reviews are 350.500 words in length and will be refereed by the Editor.
Memorials
Memorials will be published in Meteoritics & Planetary Science for those persons who have made major, long-term contributions to areas of interest to the scientific community served by the journal. The text should be less than 500 words and emphasize the scientific career of the deceased. While suggestions are welcome, Memorials will be solicited by the Editorial Board. The memorial should include a bibliography of not more than 10 major papers and a photograph.
Catalogs and Inventories
This category includes inventories of meteorites and other extra- terrestrial materials collected or obtained by institutions or groups that do not publish catalogs.
The Meteoritical Bulletin includes descriptions of new meteorites or important changes in the descriptions of previously cataloged meteorites. It is available on-line at http://www.uark.edu/metsoc/metbull.htm. An annual summary appears in the summer supplement to MAPS. The Meteoritical Bulletin is edited by Sara Russell, Monica Grady and Jutta Zipfel, and compiled and refereed by the Meteorite Nomenclature Committee. Information should be submitted directly to Dr. Sara S. Russell, Department of Mineralogy, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, U.K. (phone: +44 207 942 5074; fax: +44 207 942 5537; e-mail: meteorite@nhm.ac.uk). Forms intended to help in the preparation of such information can be obtained from Dr. Russell.
Announcements
Announcements of meetings and other matters of immediate interest to the readership will be published at the discretion of the Editor. Information for Contributors
SUBMISSION, REVIEW AND PUBLICATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Papers should be submitted to the Editor, Professor Derek W. G. Sears, Chemistry Building, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701, USA. (Telephone: 501 575 7625; fax: 501 575 7778; e-mail: meteor@uark.edu.) Subsequent inquiries may be directed to Hazel Sears, Managing Editor. Manuscripts may be submitted electronically or by hard copy. Authors are requested to include a telephone number, fax number and electronic mail address in the cover letter. If a submitted paper is well prepared and appears suitable for further consideration, it will be forwarded to an Associate Editor in the subject area. If appropriate, the Associate Editor will identify external reviewers. With the aid of their reviews, the Associate Editor may require revision and further review or recommend to the Editor: (1) acceptance of the paper, (2) acceptance subject to minor revision, (3) or rejection. A major function of the review process is to ensure that accepted papers are of the highest quality possible and that they are well presented. It is expected that authors will want to acknowledge the contribution of the reviewers, whether the reviewers are anonymous or known to the authors.
Requirements for Submission
l. Manuscripts may be submitted as hard copy or in electronic form. If submitting by hard copy only, please send five copies of the text, tables, and figures. Manuscripts submitted electronically must be followed by a hard copy version of the text, tables and figures mailed to the editorial office. Authors may send the electronic version in one of the following ways: on disk with the hard copy by postal service, as an e-mail attachment, or they may upload directly using procedures given at the journal web site.
2. Manuscripts must be written in English and should be assembled as follows: title page, abstract page, text, acknowledge- ments, references, tables, figure captions, figures. The text, references and figure captions must be single column, double-spaced. Hard copies of the entire manuscript must be printed, on one side only, on paper no larger than 8.5 x 11" (quarto) or 21 x 30 cm (A4). Footnotes should be avoided. The final size of print for all sections of the paper is at the discretion of the Editor.
3. An abstract is required. Authors should take great care in preparing their abstracts. They often determine whether the paper will be read in depth and may appear in abstract journals unaccompanied by the text.
4. Subheadings within the various sections need to be clearly designated.
5. Acknowledgments should be placed at the end of the text after the heading Acknowledgments.
6. The International System of Units (SI) should be used for quantities and units unless a strong case can be made otherwise.
7. Every effort must be made to make the text clear, concise and accurate. Either American or British spelling is acceptable, but the entire text should be stylistically consistent.
8. New meteorite names must be approved by the Meteorite Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society (contact Dr. Sara S. Russell, Department of Mineralogy, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, U.K. (phone: +44 207 942 5074; fax: +44 207 942 5537; e-mail: meteorite@nhm.ac.uk; web site: http://www.uark.edu/metsoc/metbull.htm)). Existing meteorite names should conform to the spelling given in the Catalogue of Meteorites 5th. ed. (2000; Cambridge University Press) by M. M. Grady, or in subsequent issues of the Meteoritical Bulletin (available on-line or in the summer supplement to Meteoritics & Planetary Science). The full names of meteorites should be used in titles, subheadings and at first mention in the text. Abbreviations, including those published in the Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter and the Meteoritical Bulletin, may be used in tables and elsewhere. Note, that in the abbreviated form, there should be a space between the place name and the number; the exception to this is for Antarctic meteorites recovered prior to 1981 which may have an A instead of a blank space.
9. Mineral Names. Authors should use International Mineralogical Association approved mineral names whenever possible (see FLEISCHER M. AND MANDARINO J. A. (1995) Glossary of Mineral Species (7th. ed.) Mineralogical Record, Tucson, Arizona, USA. 280 pp.). An author wishing to introduce a new mineral name, or to redefine, discredit or rename an existing mineral should refer to Mineral. Petrol. 37, 157-179 or Amer. Mineral. 72, 1031-1042; 73, 200.
Preparation of References
References to web pages or papers "in prep" or "submitted" will be deleted and changed to "pers. comm." or "unpubl. data" in text.
Meteoritics & Planetary Science discourages the citation of abstracts. The associate editors and reviewers will be asked to ensure that any cited are really essential and that sufficient care has been taken in allowing for their fragmentary and unrefereed nature.
Immediately before submitting manuscripts, authors should cross- check the reference list with the text. References must be listed at the end of each paper in alphabetical-chronological order. When listing several papers by the same author, some of which are multi-authored, the sequence should be: first author only, chronological; two authors, alphabetical then chronological; for three or more authors, chronological order takes precedence over alphabetical order. For example, SMITH A. B., JONES C. D. AND BROWN E. F. (1978)
appears before
SMITH A. B., BROWN E. F. AND JONES C. D. (1980)
References must be in the following format:
Journal
SMITH A. B., JONES C. D. AND BROWN E. F. (1978) Title of article. Journal title Vol, xxx.xxx.
Book
SMITH A. B. (1978) Title of book. Publishers, City, State, Country. xxx pp.
Chapter in a Book
SMITH A. B. (1978) Chapter title. In Book title (eds. C. D. Jones and E. F. Brown), pp. xxx.xxx. Publishers, City, State, Country.
Abstract
SMITH A. B. (1978) Title of abstract (abstract). Journal title Vol, xxx. xxx.
Proceedings of an Annual Conference
SMITH A. B., BROWN E. F. AND JONES C. D. (1980) Title of article. Proc. Conference name. Conf. xxth, xxx.xxx. Information for Contributors
Thesis
JONES C. D. (1980) Title of thesis. Ph.D. thesis, Institution, City, State, Country. xxx pp.
NOTES: There are no commas separating the authors' last names and initials. Ten or more authors will be listed as first author followed by "ET AL." Journal names should be abbreviated according to American Chemical Society recommendations; refer to previous issues of the journal or consult ACS. The abbreviation used in the citation of articles published in Meteoritics & Planetary Science is Meteorit. Planet. Sci.
Preparation of Tables
1. For initial submission, tables may be submitted electronically or as hard copy. For submission of the revised (final) version of the manuscript tables MUST be submitted electronically. 2. Tables should be prepared in journal format according to the following instructions:
a. Quote only the number of significant figures that are justified. For example, electron microprobe data rarely justify to more than 3 significant figures, especially totals. Similarly, use n.d. (not detected) or similar notation rather than 0.0.
b. A short title is required. Details or explanation should appear as footnotes.
c. Title format is: TABLE l. The first word in the title is capitalized with the rest in lower case. The title ends with a period. The caption is flush left.
d. Horizontal lines should separate the title, table headers, the body of table, and the footnotes.
e. Footnotes, with or without superiors (which may be numbers, symbols or letters) are flush left and end with a period. There is no line space between footnotes. f. Times New Roman or a similar font is preferred. g. Auto spacing is used throughout the table. Double spacing may be used to separate parts of the table or to show grouping of data.
h. Blank space between columns is minimized. Vertical lines are not used to separate columns.
i. Borders are not used around tables.
j. Single column size is 3" or 7.5 cm.
Double column size is 7" or 17.5 cm.
Broadside column size is 9" or 22.5 cm.
3. The Editorial Office may re-format the tables for style. However, manipulation of data within the tables will be avoided if at all possible. Alterations made by the Editorial Office will be noted on the page proofs. (It is for this purpose that tables must be included on the computer disk with the final accepted manuscript.)
4. Tables that must be completely retyped are subject to a per table charge that will be computed by the Editorial Office. At 2001 prices, the charge would typically be $300.00 (US) per table.
Preparation of Illustrations
1. Figures may be submitted electronically or as hard copy. NOTE: If figures are submitted electronically, please ensure that the resolution is adequate for review and for hard copy publication. Halftones.For review purposes, glossy prints or sharp copies are acceptable. Authors supplying photostatic copies of half-tones for review purposes should be prepared to provide better copies if requested by reviewers and be aware that this might result in some delay in handling their paper.
2. All artwork should be prepared in anticipation of reduction. It is essential to keep this in mind when sizing symbols and letters. Figures must not exceed 7" x 9". Oversized and difficult to handle figures should be discussed with the Editor before submission. Line Drawings.If possible line drawings should be designed to fit a single column (width 3" or 7.5 cm)
3. The name of the author and the figure number should be written on the front of each figure in the margin. The top should be indicated if there is any possibility of ambiguity. For multi-component figures, each component must be labeled on the figures themselves as a, b, etc. Figures are numbered with Arabic numerals in order of reference in the text.
4. Within the text, figures (whether line drawings or photographs) are referred to in the abbreviated form as, for example, FIG. 1.
5. All figure captions must be collected and placed on a separate sheet (double-spaced) at the end of the manuscript.
6. All original artwork must be submitted with the final accepted version.
Submission of Revised (Final) Version of Manuscript and Publication
1. When instructed by the Associate Editor or the Editor, the revised (final) version of the manuscript should be sent to the Editorial office in electronic form (required for text and tables, optional for figures) together with two hard copies of the final revision of the paper (complete with original figures). Authors may send the electronic version in one of the following ways: on disk with the hard copy by postal service, as an e-mail attachment, or they may upload directly using procedures given at the journal web site. Word processing files in the most common formats are acceptable as long as they are clearly explained. If figures are sent electronically please ensure that the resolution is adequate for hard copy publication.
2. Within a few days of formal acceptance by the Editor, the manuscript will be published on Prelude , the electronic preprint service of the journal, unless otherwise requested by the author. Abstracts will also be posted onto the journal's web site as abstracts of accepted papers for upcoming issues. Publication in the journal (hard copy and electronic) can be expected within 3.4 months of acceptance.
3. Any special requests concerning placement or reduction of figures and camera-ready tables should be clearly explained to the Editor with the final manuscript. These are very expensive to change at the proof stage and such changes will be billed to the author. While author requests are always considered, the final placement of figures and tables is at the Editor.s discretion
4. Proofs: The author is responsible for correcting proofs, which should be received about 5 to 6 weeks after acceptance. Proofs must be signed and returned to the Editorial Office within 48 hours of receipt. In an emergency, the corrected proofs may be sent to the Editorial Office by facsimile transmission with hard copy following via mail. Alterations in proofs are expensive and should be kept to an absolute minimum. Alterations deemed excessive by the Editor will be billed to the author. At 2001 prices, the charge would typically be $2.50 per line affected. If alterations are essential, they should preferably occupy the same amount of space as the original material.
5. Authors are responsible for providing key words for the annual subject index. Details are provided with the proofs. Information for Contributors
