About the journal
Solar Physics was founded in 1967 and is the principal journal for the publication of the results of fundamental research on the Sun. The journal treats all aspects of solar physics, ranging from the internal structure of the Sun and its evolution to the outer corona and solar wind in interplanetary space. Papers on solar-terrestrial physics and on stellar research are also published when their results have a direct bearing on our understanding of the Sun.
Instructions to Authors

Kluwer Academic Publishers
P.O. Box 990
3300 AZ Dordrecht
The Netherlands
Editors' E-mails:

National Solar Observatory
P.O. Box 26732
Tucson, AZ 85726-6732
U.S.A.
Editor's E-mail: jharvey@noao.edu
It is preferable that authors on the American continent choose the Tucson office. After a paper has been accepted, all further communications should be addressed to the Dordrecht office. Questions concerning general editorial matters, and books for review should be sent to Dordrecht as well.
Manuscripts should be submitted in the file format LaTeX, or in word-processing packages such as MS WORD or WordPerfect, running under operating systems Windows, MS DOS and Apple Macintosh. For submission in LaTeX, the publisher prefers the use of its own special LaTeX style files, KLUWER.STY (LaTeX 2.09) and KLUWER.CLS (LaTeX 2E) which can be obtained at the web-side http://www.wkap.nl/authors/jrnlstylefiles/
The English in which the paper is written must be of acceptable quality. As it is the responsibility of the authors to prepare their papers in good English, authors unfamiliar with English should obtain help from colleagues proficient in that language. Be aware that need of language corrections always delays the paper publication. Manuscripts with many errors in English will be returned to the author(s) for improvement which will make the delay even longer. Papers in which important parts of the text cannot be understood will be returned to the authors as rejected.
Both British spelling (e.g., behaviour) and US spelling (e.g., behavior) are acceptable, but each article must be consistently written in either one of these spellings.
Three modes of submission are acceptable:
A Three hard copies of the manuscript, with figures and tables on separate sheets, with their positions marked in the manuscript.
B Three hard copies of the manuscript, with figures and tables placed at their proper places in the manuscript, accompanied by a 3.5-inch diskette, CD-ROM or ZIP containing the text and figures of the article. It is also possible to leave only spaces free for the figures, with figures on a separate diskette. Please, include the postscript file of the entire paper. However, do not use this form of submission if the article requires thorough language corrections.
C The manuscript is submitted electronically. For instructions, access the following web page: http://solarphys.uio.no/. In general, papers submitted and refereed electronically are published sooner, but this advantage may be lost if the manuscript is not prepared according to the Instruction for Authors, because then many changes in style may be needed, which delays the publication.
Do not submit a paper by more than one of the three modes!
A separate sheet in A and B and a separate page in C should be enclosed providing the title, authors' names, affiliations, and both postal and E-mail addresses. If the title is longer than 72 characters including spaces, provide an abbreviated title as a running head.
Letters are no longer accepted. However, short papers on important and timely topics have priority in publication. They should not exceed four printed pages including the abstract, figures, tables, and references.
Refereeing: All manuscripts will be sent to a minimum of one referee. The referee remains anonymous unless he or she expresses the wish to have his/her name revealed to the author(s). Referees are asked to evaluate a paper within three weeks (with six weeks as a maximum) and authors are given three months as the maximum for a paper revision.
Manuscript Arrangement
Generally, the manuscripts should follow the rules of the IAU Style Book published in Transactions of the IAU XXB, 1988, pp. Si-S3. (Reprints of this Style Book are available from Kluwer Academic Publishers, P.O. Box 17, 3300 AA Dordrecht, The Netherlands.) We recommend that authors look at other papers in this journal to verify the correct style.
The length of all papers must be proportional to their scientific contents. Long papers which do not fulfill this requirement will be returned to authors for a substantial reduction in length. Authors should be aware that the shorter a paper, the more people are likely to read it, so that such a reduction is both in the editors' and authors' interest.
An Abstract must precede all papers. It should concisely summarize the content and conclusions of the paper. The abstract should be a single paragraph and its length should be proportional to the length of the paper, with 150 words as an average and 300 words as the maximum.
The article should be divided in sections and subsections, following the following numbering and letter types:
1. First-Order Heading
1.1. SECOND-ORDER HEADING
1.1.1. Third-Order Heading
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc., should be placed in a separate, unnumbered section before the References.
Supplementary material can be collected in an Appendix (or Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.) and placed between the Acknowledgements and the References.
References to journal articles, articles in proceedings, books, and technical reports should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order, following the IAU style (see examples below and the IAU Style Book mentioned above). In the text references are given as Brown (1998), Brown and Jones (1998), Brown, Jones, and Smith (1998), or Brown et al. (1998) if there are more than 3 authors. In a group of references, arrange them according to the year, and use semicolons: (Brown, 1990; Jones and Smith, 1993; Smith, 1999). All references cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and all references listed in the reference list must be cited in the text.
The following forms of references should be used:
For articles in journals:
Kahler, S.W.: 1982, Astrophys. J. 261, 710.
Oliver, R. and Ballester, J.L.: 1995, Solar Phys. 156, 145.
Demoulin, P., Bagala, L.G., Mandrini, C.H., Henoux, J.C., and Rovira, M.G.: 1997, Astron. Astrophys. 325, 305.
For more than six authors one can use et al. for those of them whose names are arranged in alphabetical order. The page should be replaced by `in press' for articles accepted for publication, and by `submitted' for those not yet accepted. References to unpublished results and internal reports should be mentioned only in the text as `private communication', and by 'submitted' for those not yet accepted, giving the names of all authors and the journal to which it has bee submitted. Without this information, the reference will be changed to `private communication'.
For articles in proceedings:
Hoeksema, J.T.: 1995, in R.G. Marsden (ed.), The High-Latitude Heliosphere, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, Holland, p. 137.
For books:
Tandberg-Hanssen, E. and Emslie, A.G.: 1988, The Physics of Solar Flares, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, p. 145.
The sequence of references in their list should be arranged as follows:
One author first, papers arranged according to the years:
Brown, G.H.: 1994, ...
Brown, G.H.: 1996, ...
Then two authors, papers arranged according to second author's name:
Brown, G.H. and Jones, B.V.: 1995, ...
Brown, G.H. and Smith, K.H.: 1991, ...
Then 3 authors, papers arranged according to second (and then third) author's name:
Brown, G.H., Jones, B.V., and Smith, K.H.: 1990, ...
Brown, G.H., Jones, B.V., and Walter, B.H.: 1987, ...
Finally four and more authors, arranged according to the years.
Two references to the same author(s) and same year should be identified by, e.g., 1998a and 1998b, both in the list of references and in the text.
Use everywhere `and', not &.
Figures and Tables
Figures can be submitted either as hard copies or in an electronic version. Each figure must have an explanatory figure caption and must be mentioned in the text.
In the submission modes (A) and (B) (see section `Manuscript Submission') authors must submit high-quality artwork that can be reproduced as it is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re-typeset. Hand-written lettering in figures will not be accepted (if not computer-made, use stencils), and the letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction. Photographs should be in black-and-white on glossy paper. At the backside of each figure its top should be clearly marked, and the (first) author's name and the figure number given. The approximate position of figures should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript.
In submission mode (A) figure captions should be collected on a separate sheet, in mode (B) the captions should be below figures (or below spaces left for figures) in the text. Figures are marked in the figure captions in Arabic numerals as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. and referred in the text as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.
In the submission mode (C), and also in mode (B) if figures are in the text, authors should supply the electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript or TIFF format. Other formats cannot be used. Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be in the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g., `figure1.eps'. For vector graphics Encapsulated PostScript is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10 percent. For bitmap graphics, TIFF is the preferred format. The following resolutions are optimal: black-and-white line figures - 1200 dpi; line figures with some grey or colored lines - 600 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is.
Figures that are to be printed in black-and-white should never be submitted in color. Authors who want to have figures in color will be charged for their reproduction, and must enclose a statement with the manuscript that they are willing to pay for them. Color figures can be reproduced on CD-ROM (see that part of the Instructions below).
Warning: Do not use lines which are very narrow and lettering and symbols that are very small. Rendering such figures on low-resolution computer monitors and printers may produce good results, but at the final printing very high-resolution equipment is used, and such figure may then be reproduced very weakly. (See, e.g., Solar Physics 185, pp. 22-26.)
Tables should be numbered in Roman numerals and their headings should include a short title. If more extensive explanations are needed, do not include them in the title, but place them as notes below the table (marked as a, b, etc.) in the table and below. Vertical lines between columns are to be avoided. References to the tables in the text are Table I, Table II, etc.
The abbreviation for `number' is No., do not use #. But only serial numbers should be abbreviated in this way, not a number (quantity) of measurements.
Dates should be written as 1999 January 10 or 10 January 1999 in the text and 1999 Jan. 10 in a table. Never use 99-01-10, because this means two different dates in the European and American versions. Time designations are 22:33:45 UT for hours, minutes and seconds of Universal Time.
Equations
Equations must be typed or handwritten clearly and all unusual signs should be explained to the typesetter in the margin. All symbols used in equations must be properly explained to the reader. Number the equations sequentially on the right-hand side as (1), (2), etc. in the main body of the article and (A1), (A2), etc. in the Appendices, and refer to them in the text as Equation (1), Equation (2), etc.
Kindly observe the following rules:
Repeat plus, minus, and times if an equation continues on two lines.
Numerators and denominators of in-line fractions should be delimited clearly to avoid any possible ambiguity. E.g., write (log P)q / r or
(F - x) / a, not log Pq/r or F - x / a.
All longer formulas in the text should be put on a separate line as (unnumbered) equations, to avoid their breaking at an improper place.
Subscripts and superscripts should be set off clearly. Never use Ne2.
Use a full stop for decimals (312.67) and reserve crosses for multiplication (3.0 x 10-12). Do not use 3.0E-12.
For `thousands' use 25 000, not 25,000.
Vectors are printed in bold face and may be also indicated by wavy underlining in hard copies.
Symbols for chemical elements should be in Roman type (not italics). Roman numeral designation for degrees of ionization should be presented in smallcap. Elements mentioned in text should not be capitalized (e.g., helium).
Never write .3 or 3., but always 0.3 and 3.0.
Distinguish clearly between the letter O and the zero symbol, the letter l and the number one, kappa and k, mu and u, nu and v, eta and n, etc.
In the text preceding and following equations, use punctuation only when necessary. Correct examples:
`This is expressed as follows:', but `This is expressed as' (no colon); `in the modified Equation (10), D = a - b, where a is ...', but `with the modified Equation (10) we find D = a - b instead of ...' (no commas).
Units should be in the metric (cgs or mks) system and printed in Roman letters (cm, not cm). Only the singular form should be used (erg, not ergs). Units representing names are in capital letters when abbreviated (G), but not capitalized when spelled (gauss).
Expressions of rate, such as kilometers per second, should be set as km s-1.
SUPPLEMENTARY DATA SUBMITTED ON CD-ROM
Solar Physics publishes at least twice a year issues accompanied by a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM serves as a platform for the publication of electronic addenda to articles published in the printed version of the journal. This can include items such as large, high-resolution images, color figures, long series of images (showing a development, or effects of variable parameters in a model), and time-lapse images from observations, models, or simulations. The Publisher charges a fee for publishing the CD-ROM files on the Solar Physics home page.
Electronic datasets included on the CD-ROM must be an integral part of an article accepted for publication in the same issue of Solar Physics. Electronic datasets alone (e.g., interesting observations) without any interpretation will not be accepted. The electronic images and movies should have their own description on the CD-ROM (like figure captions in the text), but the whole article, or any extensive parts of it, should not be put there.
The process of refereeing, which also applies to the information on the CD-ROM, requires that the author submit the article in a standard fashion (mode (A) - (C), see above) and transfer the additional data for the CD-ROM to an ftp site made known to the editors. The format of this information shall be MPEG for movies, JPEG or GIF for images, and HTML for plain text such that non-proprietary commonly available Internet applications can be used for viewing purposes by the editor and referee.
Upon acceptance of the paper for publication, the author(s) shall be responsible for providing the datasets in the appropriate form to the publisher. This implies that a `main' HTML file needs to be provided which shall constitute the homepage on the CD-ROM for that article. This file shall carry appropriate links to the electronic datasets. The datasets of course also need to be provided and need to be in the appropriate format.
As there are presently only two CD-ROM issues per year, authors of CD-ROM articles should be aware of the fact that their paper may be published earlier, or also later than it would be without the CD-ROM enclosure, according to the time gap between the paper acceptance and the date of the CD-ROM issue coming next.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Acronyms and Abbreviations should be explained at first occurrence in the text. If used and explained in the Abstract, the explanation must be repeated in the text.
Footnotes should be avoided as much as possible.
Hyphens should be used to make reading easier: write `line of sight", but `line-of-sight direction'; `region of high density', but `high-density region'.
Names of celestial objects such as Sun, Earth, and Moon should be written with capital letters.
In series of three or more items, a comma should be placed before the final item, e.g., `brightness, temperature, and density'.
The word `data' is plural and therefore takes a plural verb.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Scope of the journal: Solar Physics is concerned with the fundamental study of the Sun. It treats all aspects of solar physics, ranging from the internal structure of the Sun to outer corona and solar wind in interplanetary space. Papers on solar-terrestrial physics are included if they are clearly related to the physics of the Sun or if they use terrestrial phenomena as indicators of solar activity. The journal also accepts papers on stellar research as long as their results have a direct impact upon the understanding of the Sun, its structure and activity, or when solar observations are used when interpreting stellar data.
Originality: Solar Physics accepts only original research papers which have not been published, and are not under consideration for publication, in the same or a similar form elsewhere. This also includes English versions of papers earlier published in another language, for example Russian or Chinese. Exceptions can be made for greatly modified papers, provided the author sends the Editor also the original version for a comparison.
We also do not handle papers rejected by other journals, unless the author informs us about the rejection and substantially revises the paper. Again, the original rejected paper should be enclosed for a comparison.
In case an author does not follow these rules, his or her name will be made known to the Editors of all other important journals in the field.
Review papers are accepted only if invited by the editors.
Proceedings of conferences are no longer published in Solar Physics. However, some issues of the journal may be Topical Issues which are concerned with a specific topic selected by the editors and, in some cases, may contain papers presented at a monothematic conference. All papers submitted to such a Topical Issue are handled and refereed in the same way as regular research papers. Contrary to Proceedings, the length of such papers is not limited, and other papers related to the same topic, not presented at the conference, can be added to the issue.
Permissions: It is the responsibility of the author to obtain written permission for a quotation from unpublished material, all for any quotation in excess of 250 words in one extract or 500 words in total from any work still in copyright, and for the reprinting of figures or tables from unpublished or copyrighted material.
Copyright: Authors will be asked, upon acceptance of an article, to sign a form which transfers copyright of the article to the Publisher.
Page Charges and Color Figures: No page charges are levied on authors or their institutions. Color figures are published at the author's expense only.
Proofs: Proofs will be sent to the first, or corresponding author. One corrected proof, together with the original, edited manuscript, should be returned to the publisher within three days of receipt by airmail. The second proof is not sent to the authors, but is checked only by the desk editor and one of the scientific editors. If any additional late corrections are necessary, contact z.svestka@sron.nl
Offprints: 25 offprints of each article will be provided free of charge. Additional offprints can be ordered by means of an offprint order form supplied with the proofs.
