About the journal
Organic Geochemistry
Organic Geochemistry serves as the only dedicated medium for the publication of peer-reviewed research on all phases of geochemistry in which organic compounds play a major role. The Editors welcome contributions covering a wide spectrum of subjects in the  geosciences broadly based on organic chemistry (including molecular and isotopic geochemistry), and involving geology, biogeochemistry, environmental geochemistry, chemical oceanography and hydrology. The scope of the journal includes research involving petroleum (including natural gas) coal, organic matter in the aqueous environment and recent sediments, organic-rich rocks and soils and the role of organics in the geochemical cycling of the elements. Sedimentological, paleontological and organic petrographic studies will also be considered for publication, provided that they are geochemically oriented. Papers cover the full range of research activities in organic geochemistry, and include comprehensive review articles, technical communications, discussion/reply correspondence and short technical notes. Peer-reviews organised through two Chief Editors and a staff of Associate Editors, are conducted by well known, respected scientists from academia, government and industry. The journal also publishes reviews of books, announcements of important conferences and meetings and other matters of direct interest to the organic geochemical community.

Instructions to Authors
Submission of Papers
Authors are requested to submit four copies of their original (paginated) manuscript and figures to: Dr. Lloyd R Snowdon, Co-chief Editor, Organic Geochemistry, 4904 Brockington Road NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2L 1R6 or Prof. J.R. Maxwell, University of Bristol, School of Chemistry, Organic Geochemistry Unit, Cantock's Close, Bristol, BS8 1TS, United Kingdom.
Manuscripts will be reviewed by a minimum of two referees and will be considered for publication on the basis of originality of contribution. Manuscripts should be submitted in English.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher. Only those papers that have not been submitted or published elsewhere, wholly or part, can be considered for publication. Authors must inform the editor if their manuscript has been submitted, and rejected, by another journal.
Types of Contributions
Papers may be published as: Full Paper, Note or Discussion/Reply. A full paper should describe original research in the general area of Organic Geochemistry. A note is a short, original contribution not exceeding four printed pages, which can be used to inform readers of preliminary or limited results of research. Papers in the form of discussion/reply will be published when a reader wishes to comment on a paper previously published. This format will be of two back-to-back short communications, one from the communicator, and one from the original author.
Manuscript Preparation
General: Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. The corresponding author should be identified (include a fax number and e-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. An electronic copy of the paper should accompany the final revised version. The editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use: copies of the original manuscript are retained by the Editors-in-Chief for two years.
Paper Length: Papers generally average 10-15 printed pages, this to include tables, figures and references. A full page of text in Organic Geochemistry contains about 850 words which accurately reflect the singularity of the paper.
Abstracts: Each manuscript should be accompanied by an abstract of up to 100 words.
Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Key words, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Figure Captions and then Tables. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote, which should contain this author's e-mail address. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers.
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year of publication (e.g. "Since Peterson (1993) has shown that..." or "This is in agreement with results obtained later (Kramer, 1994)". For three or more authors use the first author followed by "et al.", in the text. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list. References should be given in the following form:

Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.
Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour: Where colour photographs are required, the author will be charged for the production of colour separations. However, if adequate separations are provided by the author, a reduced charge will be applied, full details available from Author Services, Elsevier Science, Oxford.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs).
Electronic Submission
Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper with the final revised version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Full details of electronic submission and formats will be sent to you by the Associate Editor, or can be obtained from Author Services at Elsevier Science.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the author (first named author if no corresponding author is identified of multi-authored papers) and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any others may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Please note that authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before return, since the inclusion of late corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofs are to be returned to the Log-in Department of the relevant Elsevier Science site.
Offprints
25 offprints will be supplied free of charge. Offprints and copies of the issue can be ordered at a specially reduced rate using the order form sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted. Orders for reprints will incur a 50% surcharge.
