About the journal
Published since 1963, this monthly journal is one of the most respected earth science publications in the world. It is recognized for its wide-ranging coverage of research in geophysics, economic geology, paleontology, biostratigraphy, Quaternary geoscience, structural geology, tectonics, sedimentology, mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, stratigraphy, and glacial geology.
Instructions to Authors
New: The Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences now accepts manuscript submissions online. For more information please refer to the Instructions to Authors for Web Submission.
The Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (Can. J. Earth Sci.) publishes papers, communications, and discussions/replies in English or French.
Types of Papers
Articles are reports that describe the results of research in Earth Sciences. Articles are subject to the Journal's referee system, with originality and excellence being the main criteria for acceptance. Authors should convey their messages in the shortest form possible. The normal page limit is 30 double-spaced typewritten pages (or approximately 8000 words), including the title page, abstract, main body of text, acknowledgements, references, and figure captions. Longer articles may be accepted, but the Editor must be assured by the referees and appropriate Associate Editor that the unusual length is warranted by the quality and quantity of science in the contribution. Articles should be directed at an informed peer group; therefore, authors should not try to present their work in a form comprehensible to all our readers.
Communications are short, innovative articles of interest to a broad spectrum of Earth scientists and should not exceed 15 pages in length. Review and publication of such articles are expedited. When submitting a communication, authors must explain why its importance or timeliness justifies accelerated processing. Authors will be expected to complete revisions rapidly.
Discussions of articles in recent issues of the Journal may be accepted for publication, if they are brief and of a technical or interpretative nature. Replies to such discussions are invited from the original authors and are generally published in the same issue.
Ethics
The ethical standards expected of authors, referees, and editors are described in the NRC Research Press Publication Policy (published in the January 1996 issue of the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences).
Authors must affirm that a submitted manuscript is not under consideration elsewhere for publication and will not be submitted elsewhere while under consideration by the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences. Submitted manuscripts should contain previously unreported material. Any overlap of contents between related papers should be minimal, and normally confined to the introductory section. Authors should provide information and preprints on any papers closely related to the submitted manuscript that are not yet in the public domain (i.e., in review or in press). If deemed necessary for the review process, these will be copied to the reviewers. The corresponding author must confirm that all authors have read and approved the manuscript.
Conflict of Interest and Disclosure ?The Editor recognizes that authors and peer reviewers may have real or perceived conflicts of interest arising from intellectual, personal, or financial circumstances of their research. Submitted manuscripts should include full disclosure of funding sources for the research and the letter of transmission should include an explanation of any real or perceived conflicts of interest that may arise during the peer review process. Failure to disclose such conflicts may lead to refusal of a submitted manuscript.
The Manuscript
Publication will be facilitated if authors check carefully the symbols, abbreviations, and technical terms for accuracy, consistency, and readability and ensure that manuscripts and illustrations meet the requirements outlined below. NRC Research Press maintains the right to preserve the technical quality of the Journal. Authors are requested to refer to a recent issue of the Journal for details of layout, especially for tables and reference lists.
Four copies of the complete manuscript are required by the Editor. All parts of the manuscript (including title page, footnotes, references, figure captions, and tables) must be typewritten, double-spaced, on one side only of white bond paper 216 ?279 mm (8.5 ?11 in.) or ISO A4 (212 ?297 mm) with 2.5-cm (1-in.) margins in an 11- or 12-point font. Use an italic font for material that is to be set in italics. First-order headings should also be underlined in the typescript. Manuscripts that do not conform to these instructions will be returned to the authors.
Spelling should follow that of Webster's Third New International Dictionary or the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors are responsible for consistency in spelling.
SI units (Système international d’unités) should be used or SI equivalents should be given. This system is explained and other useful information is given in the Metric Practice Guide (2000) published by the CSA International (178 Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON M9W 1R3, Canada). For practical reasons, some exceptions to SI units are allowed.
Geological nomenclature should follow the American Geological Institute's Glossary of Geology (1997) except where superceded by international recommendations, such as those of the International Union of Geological Sciences' Subcommission on the Systematics of Igneous Rocks and of the International Mineralogical Association on the nomenclature of minerals. Stratigraphic nomenclature should follow the North American Stratigraphic Code (American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin, 67(5): 841?75, 1983). Canadian lithostratigraphic units are summarized in the regional Lexicons of Canadian Stratigraphy published by the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists. Only formal time-stratigraphic and geologic-time units should be capitalized, in accordance with Elsevier Science Publishers' Geologic Time Table (1987). Abbreviations for mineral names should follow R. Kretz (American Mineralogist, 68: 277?79, 1983) and should be summarized in a footnote or figure caption. New 14C dates reported in manuscripts must include the laboratory reference number.
Abbreviations and contractions of the names of rock units, procedures, etc., must be defined the first time that they occur and should be used sparingly. Symbols and unusual or Greek characters should be identified clearly. Superscripts and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed.
The title page should have only the title of the paper; the names, affiliations, and mailing addresses of all authors; the corresponding author's telephone and fax numbers and E-mail address; and any necessary footnotes including contribution numbers. Page numbers begin with the title page, and all pages of text and tables should be numbered.
The abstract for papers should not exceed 250 words, and should be shorter for communications. The abstract is a succinct summary of why and how the work was done, the salient results, and their interpretation and broader implications. Authors who can submit abstracts in both fluent English and fluent French are encouraged to do so. The abstract should be provided on a separate page (or pages) and should be headed by the title and authors of the paper (a copy of this page is sent separately to the translator). References should not be cited in the abstract, and abbreviations other than SI units and chemical formulae should be avoided.
Footnotes to material in the text should not be used unless they are unavoidable, but their use is encouraged in tables. Where used in the text, footnotes should be cited in the manuscript by superscript Arabic numbers (except in the tables, see below) and should be numbered serially beginning with any that appear on the title page. Each footnote should be typed on the manuscript page on which the reference to it is made; footnotes should not be included in the list of references.
Equations should be clearly typed; triple-spacing should be used if superscripts and (or) subscripts are involved. Superscripts and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed. Distinguish between lowercase el and the numeral one, and between capital oh and the numeral zero. A letter or symbol should represent only one entity and be used consistently throughout the paper. Each variable must be defined in the text, or in a List of symbols to appear after the reference list. Variables representing vectors, matrices, vector matrices, and tensors must be clearly identified. Numbers identifying equations must be in square brackets and placed flush with the left margin. In numbering, no distinction is made between mathematical and chemical equations.
References ?The author is responsible for verifying each reference against the original article. Each reference must be cited in the text, using the surnames of the authors and the year, for example, (Green 1970) or Green and Brown (1981). Depending on the sentence construction, the names may or may not be in parentheses, but the year always is. If there are three or more authors, the citation should give the name of the first author followed by et al. (Green et al. 1969). If references occur that are not uniquely identified by the authors' names and year, use a, b, c, etc., after the year, for example, Green 1983a, 1983b; Green and Brown 1978a, 1978b, for the text citation and in the reference list.
The reference list must be double-spaced and placed at the end of the text. References must be listed in alphabetical order according to the name of the first author and not numbered and should follow the form used in current issues of the Journal. All reference information should be written out in full, using no abbreviations beyond the authors' initials. References with the same first author are listed in the following order. (1) Papers with one author only are listed first, in chronological order, beginning with the earliest paper. (2) Papers with dual authorship follow and are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the second author. (3) Papers with three or more authors appear after the dual-authored papers and are arranged chronologically.
Material in press, with the name of the journal, may be used as a reference. Private communications, reports not yet accepted for publication, and unavailable documents are not references and should be included in the text in parentheses, specifying names of authors, their initials, and the year.
Tables must be numbered with Arabic numerals in the order in which they are cited in the text. The title should be a concise description of the content. Column headings and descriptive material in tables should be brief, but may be enlarged upon in footnotes. Vertical lines should not be used, except as needed in stratigraphic tables. Footnotes in tables should be designated by superscript lowercase italic letters. Descriptive material not designated by a footnote may be placed under a table as a Note. Tables should be typed on separate pages and placed after the list of references. For large tables, authors should provide a formatted single-spaced version for review and submit a double-spaced version with the final manuscript for typesetting. Tables should be designed to use Journal space efficiently.
Appendices ?Figures and tables used in an appendix should be numbered sequentially but separately from those used in the main body of the paper, for example, Fig. A1, Table A1, etc.
Supplementary material ?The National Research Council of Canada maintains a depository in which supplementary material may be placed, either at the request of the author or suggestion of the Editor. In addition, supplementary material can now be made available in its native file format on the journal Web site. It will be linked from the Web page of the associated article. Such material may include extensive tables of data, detailed calculations, and maps not essential for understanding and evaluating the paper. Such material must be clearly marked when the manuscript is submitted. Tables and figures should be numbered in sequence separate from those published with the paper (e.g., Fig. D1, Table D1). The supplementary material should be referred to by footnotes. Copies of material in the depository may be purchased from the Depository of Unpublished Data, CISTI, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6, Canada.
Illustrations
Authors are required to send four sets of clean copies of all figures when they submit their manuscript. Original figures should not be submitted at this time, but will be requested when the manuscript is returned for revision. However, all copies must be of similar quality to the originals, otherwise the review process may be compromised. When submitting photographs, SUBMIT FOUR SETS OF ORIGINALS. Manuscripts with substandard photographs or photocopies will be returned or held until suitably high-quality images are provided.
Each figure or group of figures should be planned to fit, after appropriate reduction, into the area of either one or two columns of text. The maximum finished size of a one-column illustration is 8.8 x 23.9 cm (3.5 x 9.4 in.) and that of a two-column illustration is 18.2 x 23.9 cm (7.2 x 9.4 in.). The figures (including halftones) must be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals, and each one must be referred to in the text and must be self-explanatory. All terms, abbreviations, and symbols must correspond with those in the text. Only essential labelling should be used, with detailed information given in the caption. Each illustration must be identified by the figure number and the authors' names on the back of the page or in the left-hand corner, well away from the illustration area.
Line drawings should be made with black ink or be computer-generated in black on high-quality white paper or other comparable material. For computer-generated graphics, supply a laser print at the highest resolution available. Photocopies are not acceptable.
All lines must be sufficiently thick (0.5 points minimum) to reproduce well, and all symbols, superscripts, subscripts, and decimal points must be in good proportion to the rest of the drawing and large enough to allow for any necessary reduction without loss of detail. Avoid small open symbols; these tend to fill in upon reproduction. Lettering produced by dot matrix printers or typewriters, or by hand, is not acceptable. The same font style and lettering sizes should be used for all figures of similar size in any one paper.
Maps must have very clear, bold patterns and must show longitudes and latitudes (or UTM coordinates) and a scale. On maps of Quebec, the official name of municipalities must be used (e.g., Québec, Montréal, Clarke City) and physical features must be in French (e.g., Lac Bienville) except for those that are considered of pan-Canadian significance (see list below), which should be presented in the language of the paper. Quebec (the province) must also appear in the language of the paper. Names that should be presented in the language of the paper on a map of Quebec are as follows:
Lake Abitibi / Lac Abitibi
Anticosti Island / Île d'Anticosti
Atlantic Ocean / Océan Atlantique
Chaleur Bay / Baie des Chaleurs
Hudson Strait / Détroit d'Hudson
James Bay / Baie James
Laurentian Mountains / Les Laurentides
Ottawa River / Rivière des Outaouais
Quebec (province) / Québec
Restigouche River / Rivière Ristigouche
Saguenay River / Rivière Saguenay
Saint John River / Rivière Saint-Jean
St. Lawrence River / Fleuve Saint-Laurent
Gulf of St. Lawrence / Golfe du Saint-Laurent
Lake Timiskaming / Lac Témiscamingue
Ungava Bay / Baie d'Ungava
Photographs should be continuous tone on glossy paper. Prints must be of high quality, on glossy paper, with strong contrast. The copies for reproduction should only show essential features. A photograph, or group of them, should be planned to fit into the area of either one or two columns of text with no further reduction. Electron micrographs or photomicrographs should include a scale bar directly on the print. The best results will be obtained if the authors match the contrast and density of all figures arranged as a single plate.
Colour illustrations and foldouts will be at the author's expense. Further details on prices are available from Jennifer Stewart, Managing Editor, NRC Research Press (613-990-3474; fax: 613-952-7656; e-mail: jennifer.stewart@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
NRC Research Press prefers the submission of electronic illustration files for accepted manuscripts and will use these electronic files whenever possible. If electronic files are not available, paper versions of the figures will be scanned. Note that the scanner will easily reproduce flaws (e.g., correction fluid, smudges). Submission of noncontinuous (screened) photographs and scanned illustrations printed out on laser printers is not recommended as moirés develop; a moir?is a noticeable, unwanted pattern generated rescanning or rescreening an illustration that already contains a dot pattern.
Preparation of Electronic Illustration Files
Authors must supply copies of the original electronic files (i.e., the files directly from the software application that they were created in) and high-quality laser proofs of the images. Electronic files (i.e., fig. number and fig. content) should match the laser proofs. On the disk label, identify (i) the software application and version; (ii) file name(s), size, and extension; and (iii) if the files have been imported from another software. If you have compressed your files, indicate what compression format was used. PC or Macintosh versions of TrueType or Type 1 fonts should be used. Do not use bitmap or nonstandard fonts. Electronic graphics can be accepted on the following disks: 3?in. disks, 100 MB Zip cartridges, and CD-ROMs.
The preferred software application of NRC Research Press is CorelDraw! For other applications that can be used, see the electronic graphics list..
All figures should be submitted at their final published size. For figures with several parts (e.g., a, b, c, d, etc.) created using the same software application, assemble them into one file rather than sending several files.
Remember that the more complex your artwork becomes, the greater the possibility for problems at output time. Avoid complicated textures and shadings, especially in vector illustration programs; this increases the chance for a poor-quality final product.
Bitmap (raster) files ?Bitmaps are image files produced using a grid format in which each square (or pixel) is set to one level of black, colour or grey. A bitmap (rasterized) file is broken down into the number of pixels or picture elements per inch (ppi). Pixels per inch is sometimes referred to as dots per inch (dpi).
The proper resolution should be used when submitting bitmap artwork. The minimum requirements for resolution are 600 dpi for line art and finelines (line art with fine lines or shading), 300 dpi for halftones and colour, and 600 dpi for combinations (halftones with lettering outside the photo area).
All colour files submitted must be as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). These colours are used in full-colour commercial printing. RGB graphics (red, green, and blue; colours specifically used to produce an image on a monitor) will not print correctly.
Vector files ?Vector files are image files produced using elements such as lines and shapes. Typically these files are used for line drawings.
Bitmaps inside vector files ?Bitmaps can be imported into vector/draw applications only for the purpose of adding and overlaying information, lines, text, etc. Bitmaps should not be resized, cropped, rotated, or otherwise manipulated after importing.
The Publication Process
Manuscripts for publication should be submitted to Dr. Brian Jones, Editor, Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2E3, Canada (780-492-3197; fax: 780-492-8594; e-mail: cjes.editor@ualberta.ca).
Authors must suggest names of three to five potential referees for the manuscript that they are submitting. The Editor will use one of these reviewers providing that they are not in a position of conflict with the author(s) and are willing to serve in this role. Other reviewer(s) will be selected by the Editor. The names of these referees must be accompanied by their full addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses.
The corresponding author should list telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address on the manuscript and on any correspondence.
Copyright material ?Whenever a manuscript contains material that is protected by copyright (airphotos, figures, tables, etc.), it is the obligation of the author to secure written permission from the holder of the copyright to reproduce the material for both the print and electronic formats. These letters must accompany the submitted manuscript; otherwise, publication may be delayed. All material designated as "taken from..." must be accompanied by a letter of permission. If the material is not to be reproduced exactly as in the original, it should be designated as "modified from...". In either case the source of the material must be included in the reference list.
Once the paper has been accepted, all correspondence should be with NRC Research Press, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6, Canada.
Submission of electronic copy ?Authors are requested to submit the final accepted manuscript only, both in hard copy format and on disk. Text files and figure files should be submitted on separate disks. All disks must be labelled clearly with the authors' names. Text (including tables) should be provided in a word-processing format (any form of WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, or TeX is preferable, IBM compatible or Macintosh). TeX macros for preparing papers for submissions are available at ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, and ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/ macros/latex/contrib/nrc/. Identify the word-processing software, version number, and type of computer used (IBM or Macintosh). For figures, see the section "Preparation of Electronic Illustration Files." Include a statement in the letter accompanying the manuscript that the electronic version exactly matches the final hard copy version.
Galley proofs ?A galley proof, illustration proofs, the copy-edited manuscript, and a reprint order form are sent to the corresponding author. Galley proofs must be checked very carefully, as they will not be proofread by NRC Research Press, and must be returned within 48 hours of receipt. The proof stage is not the time to make extensive corrections, additions, or deletions. The cost of changes introduced at the proof stage by the author, if deemed to be excessive, will be charged to the author.
Reprints ?If reprints are desired, the reprint order form must be filled out completely and returned with payment (cheque, credit card number, purchase order number, or journal voucher) together with the corrected proofs and manuscript. Orders submitted after the Journal has been printed are subject to considerably higher prices. The Journal does not provide free reprints and reprints are not mailed until a purchase order number or payment is received.
Copyright transfer ?Authors are required to complete a copyright transfer form assigning all rights to NRC. The corresponding author may complete this form on behalf of the coauthors. Copyright transfer forms are available from the Editor, in the January issue of the Journal, or on the web site of NRC Research Press.
Requests for permission to republish the paper, in whole or in part, should be sent to NRC Research Press.
