Instructions to Authors
General
The Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences publishes peer-reviewed primary research and review papers in the English language. Papers covering the whole field of Earth sciences, including besides different geological sensu lato disciplines also geography and oceanography having certain connection with our part of the world, North Europe and the Baltic area in particular, are welcome on fully international basis. The manuscripts submitted should meet the following requirements.
The title should be concise but informative. The arrangement of words is important for indexing purposes. A short running title should be provided.
The name(s), including one forename in full, affiliation(s), full address(es), and e-mail address(es) of the author(s) should follow the title of the paper. In the covering letter the corresponding author and his/her telephone and fax numbers should be indicated.
The abstract (approximately 250 words) should be a self-contained summary of the paper, presenting concisely the objectives of the work reported, methodology, results, and conclusions. Citations in the abstract should be avoided. The abstract should be followed by key words (max seven). The manuscript should include also a summary in Estonian (not obligatory for foreign authors).
The volume of the manuscript (incl. references, summaries, illustrations, and tables) is preferably no more than 35–40 double-spaced pages.
It is essential that the paper be written in clear, proper English. Manuscripts requiring substantial improvement of English usage may be returned to the author(s) for revision before the review process. Authors for whom English is not their mother tongue should have their manuscripts checked by a competent linguist or native English speaker before submission. The editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity.
Copyright
Papers accepted become the copyright of the Estonian Academy Publishers. Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be asked to sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement. Authors are responsible for obtaining, from the copyright holder, written permission to reproduce previously published (copyrighted) illustrations or tables. The authors and their employers retain full rights to reuse their material for their own purposes.
Submission
Manuscripts can be submitted electronically by e-mail (Virve.Kurnitski@eap.ee). The attachment should be packed (max size 5 MB) and include:
(a) the files of the paper in Microsoft Word (.doc) or rich text (.rtf) format;
(b) original files of illustrations (eps, tif, psd, ai, cdr, xls);
(c) a copy of the identical text and illustrations in .pdf format;
(d) the covering letter.
Manuscripts can also be sent by regular mail, including:
a hard copy of the text and illustrations;
(b) the electronic version of the text and illustrations (CD, stick, etc.);
(c) the covering letter.
The files and the printouts must correspond exactly to one another. It is not necessary to incorporate any special page layout in the manuscript. Electronic submission is preferable.
In the covering letter the authors should supply full contact details (incl. e-mail addresses) for at least four individuals who may be appropriate reviewers for the manuscript. Also, information about possible conflict of interests should be reported.
Notation and abbreviations
Notation must be clear, compact, and consistent with standard usage. All notations and abbreviations should be defined in the text. Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract.
Illustrations
Illustrations should be prepared in their final format (that is no enlarging or reducing will be necessary) and fit into the print area of the journal. The maximum size is that of one journal page (166 mm × 228 mm) or of one column (80 mm × 228 mm). All illustrations must be clearly numbered and provided with the title and the name(s) of the author(s) on the reverse sides of the printouts. The appropriate place for each illustration in the text should be indicated in the margin. If necessary, the top of the figure should be indicated. All illustrations must have self-explanatory legends. The captions to illustrations should be listed separately. The text, tables, and illustrations should not repeat one another.
Dense shading for background should be avoided. The lettering (upper- and lowercase letters, italic, bold) should follow the usage in the text. Different parts of a figure should be marked by lowercase letters in parentheses. The size of symbols and lettering should not be smaller than 1.5 mm.
Illustrations should be provided in one of the following formats:
Vector graphics:
.cdr (CorelDraw, save as version 6 or a later one)
.ai (Adobe Illustrator)
.eps (Encapsulated Post Script)
.xls (Microsoft Excel, save as an Excel worksheet; should contain spreadsheet and embedded chart)
Raster graphics (such as photographs or scanned line-art):
.tif (Tagged Image Format, use LZW compression to reduce file size significantly)
.psd (Adobe Photoshop)
Mixed vector and raster graphics:
.eps (Encapsulated Post Script)
Make sure that any artwork is at the appropriate, minimum, resolution: 300 dpi for halftones and greyscale, 600 dpi for combinations (line art and halftones together), and 600 for line art.
Photographs should be submitted as clear black and white prints on glossy paper. Digital and scanned photographs should be saved as tif or eps files at a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
Colour illustrations are accepted if they are essential to the presentation. The images should be in CMYK mode (resolution at least 300 dpi). Authors will be asked to cover the full cost incurred in colour printing. Further information concerning colour illustrations can be obtained from the Executive Editor.
References
References to the literature cited should be indicated at the appropriate place in the text, according to the Harvard (name-year) system, with a reference list in alphabetical order at the end of the paper. All references in this list should appear in the text and vice versa.
The original titles in the Roman alphabet are to be retained. If a work is in a language that uses the Roman alphabet but is little used outside its country of origin, the English translation should be given in brackets immediately after the original title and the language should be indicated at the end (e.g. [in Estonian]).
