Instructions to Authors
AIMS AND SCOPE
Resource Geology is the official English language journal of the Society of Resource Geology, and publishes original research articles dealing with economic geology, geochemistry and environmental geology with an emphasis on earth sciences of metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits in Asia, Oceania, and the circum-Pacific region, as well as other parts of the world. Original articles, short communications, discussion and reply, review articles, resource news, notes, book reviews and pictorial articles will be considered.
Pictorial articles. Submission is welcome of unpublished, attractive, high-quality color photographs, diagrams, charts, and maps to be published as a color pictorial of one or two pages in length at the beginning of each issue. The pictorial should be accompanied by a title, names of authors, their affiliations, text and captions of less than 600 words in total. Pictorials will be evaluated by at least one reviewer.
Discussion and Reply. Submission of discussion and reply is also welcomed. Discussion and reply sections should each have a maximum length of two printed pages and will be evaluated by at least one reviewer.
EDITORIAL REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE
The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are peer reviewed by two anonymous reviewers and the Editor. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board, who reserves the right to refuse any material for publication.
Manuscripts should be written so that they are intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. They should be written in a clear, concise, direct style. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of scientific content, the Editor and the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader. If extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.

STYLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT
Spelling. The Journal uses US spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Merriam–Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.
Units. All measurements must be given in SI or SI-derived units. However, use of some non-SI units and abbreviations is also acceptable; for example, liter (L), electron volt (eV), and degrees, minutes and seconds of angle. Please go to the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) website at http://www.bipm.fr for more information about SI units.
Abbreviations. Abbreviations should be used sparingly – only where they ease the reader’s task by reducing repetition of long, technical terms. Initially use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter use the abbreviation only.
Trade names. At first mention in the article chemical substances should be referred to by the generic name only.
Scientific names. Upon its first use in the title, abstract and text, the common name of a species should be followed by the scientific name (genus, species and authority) in parentheses. However, for well-known species, the scientific name may be omitted from the article title. If no common name exists in English, the scientific name should be used only.
PARTS OF THE MANUSCRIPT
The length of original and review articles (including references, figures and tables) should in principle not exceed 20 printed pages including tables, figures and references. For the member of the Society of Resource Geology, no page charges are required up to 12 pages; for additional pages, ¥10,000 per page will be charged. For non-member of the Society, ¥5,000 per page will be charged up to 12 pages; for additional pages, ¥10,000 per page will be charged.
Manuscripts should be presented in the following order: (i) title page, (ii) abstract and keywords, (iii) text, (iv) acknowledgments, (v) references, (vi) figure legends, (vii) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes) and (viii) figures. Footnotes to the text are not allowed and any such material should be incorporated into the text as parenthetical matter.
Title page
The title page should contain (i) the title of the paper, (ii) the full names of the authors and (iii) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out together with (iv) the full postal and email address, plus facsimile and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent. The present address of any author, if different from that where the work was carried out, should be supplied in a footnote.
The title should be short, informative and contain the major keywords. Do not use abbreviations in the title. A short running title (less than 50 characters) should also be provided.
Abstract and keywords
All articles must have an abstract that states in 600 words or fewer the purpose, basic procedures, main findings and principal conclusions of the study. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references.
Three to ten keywords should be supplied below the abstract for the purposes of indexing.
Text
Authors should use subheadings to divide the sections of their manuscript: Three levels of headings can be used: 1. Chapter (left, bold), 1.1 Section (left, bold), 1.1.1 Paragraph (flush left, italic). Introduction, Geologic Background, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions are standard order of the manuscript chapters.
Acknowledgments
The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the authors’ industrial links and affiliations. The contribution of colleagues or institutions should also be acknowledged.
References
The Harvard (author, date) system of referencing is used (examples are given below). In the text give the author’s name followed by the year in parentheses: Smith (2000). If there are two authors use ‘and’: Smith and Jones (2001); but if cited within parentheses use ‘&’: (Smith & Jones 2001). When reference is made to a work by three or more authors, the first name followed by et al. should be used: MacDonald et al. (2002)
In the reference list, cite the names of all authors when there are six or fewer; when seven or more, list the first three followed by et al. Do not use ibid. or op cit. Reference to unpublished data and personal communications should not appear in the list but should be cited in the text only (e.g. Ishihara S, 2006, unpublished data). All citations mentioned in the text, tables or figures must be listed in the reference list. References should be cited in alphabetical order. Titles of journals can be abbreviated.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references.
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting.

Appendices
These should be placed at the end of the paper, numbered in Arabic numerals and referred to in the text.
Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Number tables consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Type tables on a separate page with the legend above. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the table, legend and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses; all abbreviations must be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, §, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the headings.
Figures
All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text. Figures should be sized to fit within the column (80.5 mm), intermediate (110 mm) or the full text width (168 mm).
If supplied electronically, figures must be supplied as high resolution (at least 300 d.p.i.) files, saved as .eps or .tif. Do not embed figures in the word document – they must be supplied in separate files. Line figures should be supplied as sharp, black and white graphs or diagrams, drawn professionally or with a computer graphics package. Lettering must be included and should be sized to be no larger than the journal text.
Original slides and unmounted high-resolution photographs can be submitted by post if the author does not have access to scanning facilities. Hard-copy figure should be labelled on the back indicating name of author(s), figure number and orientation. Individual photographs forming a composite figure should be of equal contrast, to facilitate printing, and should be accurately squared.
Magnifications should be indicated using a scale bar on the illustration.
Color figures. Color photographs should be submitted as good quality, glossy color prints or as high resolution electronic files. A charge of ¥70,000 for the first three color figures and ¥35,000 for each extra color figure thereafter will be charged to the author.
Figure legends. Type figure legends on a separate page. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any symbols used and define/explain all abbreviations and units of measurement.
MANUSCRIPTS ON DISK
Authors are required to provide their manuscripts on disk when the paper is accepted for publication. The final version of the text should be sent to the Society on CD-ROM or ZIP. Note that manuscripts in PDF format are not acceptable for editing procedure after acceptance. It is essential that the final, revised paper version of the accepted manuscript and the file saved on disk are identical.
The following instructions should be adhered to:
• Use a new disk rather than a reformatted disk.
• The disk must contain the relevant file(s) only. The entire article (including tables) should be supplied as a single file; only electronic figures should be supplied as separate files.
• Authors should supply their accepted paper as formatted text. Specify the hardware and the word processing package on the disk (e.g. IBM, Word 2000 or Mac, Word 5.1), as well as the first author’s surname, the journal title and the manuscript number.
• Do not use Enter at the end of lines within a paragraph.
• Turn the hyphenation option off; include only those hyphens that are essential to the meaning.
• Specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters.
• Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero) or ß (German esszett) for (Greek beta).
• Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables. If you use a table editor function, ensure that each data point is contained within a unique cell (i.e. do not use carriage returns within cells).
PROOFS
It is essential that corresponding authors supply an email address to which correspondence can be emailed while their article is in production.
Word files of edited articles will be sent for checking via email, and should be returned to the Publisher. It is essential that these files are checked carefully, as the cost of changes made at a later stage may be charged to the author. Full instructions on how to correct and return the file will be attached to the email.
Notification of the URL from where to download a Portable Document Format (PDF) typeset page proof, associated forms and further instructions will be sent by email to the corresponding author. The purpose of the PDF proof is a final check of the layout, and of tables and figures. Alterations other than the essential correction of errors are unacceptable at PDF proof stage. The proof should be checked, and approval to publish the article should be emailed to the Publisher by the date indicated, otherwise, it may be signed off on by the Editor or held over to the next issue.
OFFPRINTS
A minimum of 50 offprints will be provided upon request, at the author’s expense. These paper offprints may be ordered online. Please visit http://offprint.cosprinters.com/, fill in the necessary details and ensure that you type information in all of the required fields.
If you have queries about offprints please email offprint@cosprinters.com
