Instructions to Authors
Submission of a manuscript
Manuscripts should be sent to the Editorial Office Planetary and Space Science, P.O. Box 1930, 1000 BX Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Alternatively, authors can submit their papers electronically to m.ottevanger@elsevier.com. Please restrict the format of the files as much as possible to PDF or Word. Submission implies that the work described has not been published before (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture, review or thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication has been approved by all the authors and by the responsible authorities- tacitly or explicitly - in the institutes where the work was carried out and that, if and when accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in either the same or another language, without the consent of the copyright holders. The author(s) must secure the right to reproduce any material that has already been published elsewhere. Authors are invited to suggest the names and addresses of 5 potential referees. Please send 4 complete copies, type-written, double spaced, on one side only, with a 5 cm wide margin on the left. Special instructions for Letters are given below.
Disk submission
Authors must submit a computer disk, CD-ROM or zipdisk containing the final version of the paper along with the final manuscript to the Editorial Office. Please observe the following criteria: (i) Send only hard copy when first submitting your paper. (ii) When your paper has been refereed, revised if necessary and accepted, send a disk containing the final version with the final hard copy. Make sure that the disk and the hard copy match exactly. (iii) Specify what soft-ware was used, including which release, e.g. WordPerfect 5.1. (iv) Specify what computer was used (either IBM compatible PC or Apple Macin-tosh). (v) Include the text file and separate table and illustration files, if available. (vi) The file should follow the general instructions on style/arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of this journal. (vii) The file should be single spaced and should use the wrap-around end-of-line feature, i.e. no returns at the end of each line. All textual elements should begin flush left; no paragraph indents. Place two returns after every element such as title, headings, paragraphs, etc. (viii) Keep a back-up disk for reference and safety.
Copyright
All authors must sign the 'Transfer of Copyright'agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, but does not relinquish the author's proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microform or any other reproductions of similar nature and translations, and includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any figures for which copyright exists.
1. General. Papers should be written in English. If possible, authors who are not familiar with the English language should seek help from others proficient in English.
2. Manuscript pages. The pages should be placed in the following order: title page, abstract, text and acknowledgements, references, appendices, figure captions, tables The pages should be numbered consecutively, beginning with the title page.
3. Title page. The first page should bear:
a) The title (must be concise but informative).
b) The initial(s) and name(s) of the author(s). The names should be marked with superscript letters for the addresses.
c) The full institutional addresses of all authors, marked by the respective superscript letters.
d) The address to which the proofs should be sent.
e) The name of the author to whom offprint requests should be sent.
f ) Fax number and e-mail address of corresponding author.
Abstracts. The abstract should be complete in itself and be 3-4% of the length of the paper. It should be suitable for separate publication in an abstract journal and state the main results clearly; a mere table of contents should be avoided.
Sections. Section headings should not be numbered, unless there are more than four levels within one section.
Appendices. Appendices should be marked by capital letters. Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.
Footnotes. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and numbered consecutively. Foot-notes to the title or authors of the article are to be marked by asterisks. Footnotes to tables should be marked by lower-case letters, except for P-values which should be marked by an asterisk.
Units. The metric system is mandatory and, wherever possible, SI units should be used.
4. Mathematical symbols and formulae. All characters should be typed. To prevent confusion, similar looking (or rarely used) symbols should be distinguished clearly and, if necessary, explained in the margin. All elements of mathematical formulae will be set in italics, unless they are marked as follows: circled=roman; wavy under-line=bold. Please avoid possible confusion between letters and numbers (L and I, I and 1, 0 and zero), Greek letters and Roman letters (nu, upsilon and v, rho and p, kappa, chi and x, epsilon and E), etc.
Equations. Equations should be numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right-hand side. If long, indicate where they can be split.
5. Figures. All figures, whether photographs, graphs, or diagrams, should be submitted on separate sheets in a form suitable for direct reproduction and numbered consecutively throughout. The top of the figure, the author and the figure number should be indicated in soft pencil on the back of each. The figures should preferably match the size of the column width (8.6 cm).
Line drawings. Please submit good-quality original prints. The inscriptions should be clearly legible.
Half-tone illustrations. Please submit well-contrasted photographic prints, trimmed at right angles
Colour. Colour illustrations will be accepted; however, the authors will be expected to make a contribution towards the extra printing cost (Euro 350/USD 350 for the first page and Euro 175/USD 175 for each consecutive page). If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures (as hard copies and as electronic files) then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., Science Direct and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For colour 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 colour figures to 'grey scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for colour in print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the colour illustrations.
6. Tables. Each table should be typed on a separate page and numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals. Units should appear at the top of the column. Tables in the form of computer print-outs will be accepted provided that they are black enough and that they are legible after photographic reduction to a letter height of approximately 2 mm.
7. References. Only works that are cited in the text and that have been accepted for publication should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper under the first author's name. Two or more works by two authors should be listed alphabetically according to the second author's name. Works by three or more authors should be listed chronologically. If there is more than one work by the same author or team of authors in the same year, a, b, c. etc. is added to the year both in the text and in the list of references. Internationally accepted abbreviations of journal titles should be used. First and last page numbers should be given.
Examples: Fejer, B. C., Farley, D. T., Woodman, R. F., Calderon, C, 1981. Dependence of equatorial F-region vertical drift on season and solar cycle. Geophys. Res. Lett. 86, 215-218.
Helliwell, R. A., 1965. Whistlers and Related Ionospheric Phenomena. Stanford Univ. Press, California.
Citations. Citations in the text should be by author(s) and year. Where there are two authors, both should be named; when a work with more than two authors is mentioned, only the first author's name plus 'et al.' need be given.
8. Special instructions for Letters. To qualify as a Letter, a paper should meet the following criteria: it should be highly original and/or contain new results of unusual importance that require and/or deserve quick publication. In general, all of the above instructions apply with the following exceptions: Letters must be short, to a maximum of 4 printed pages. Half-tones and colour figures will not be accepted and the amount of tabular material must be restricted. The maximum amount of words in the main text will be 2500 and no more than 25 references are allowed. The maximum number of words in the abstract is 100. Letters should be submitted to the Editorial Office in Amsterdam (see address above). A paper submitted as a Letter will not be dealt with as such if the Editor-in-Chief decides the criteria are not met, or if it is too long. It is our aim to publish Letters in the first regular issue appearing after acceptance of the Letter.
9. Proofs. By default, PDF-proofs will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author, unless a preference for paper proofs is expressed. Detailed instructions how to return the proofs are provided. 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.
10. Correction costs. The cost of corrections necessitated by departures from the original manuscript will be charged to the authors.
11. Offprints. There are no page charges and 25 offprints will be supplied free of charge. Additional copies may be ordered when sending back the proofs.
12. Typescript and diagrams will be discarded one month after publication unless the publisher has been requested to return them.
13. 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.
