About the journal
In recent years there has been a growth of specialist journals within geological sciences. Nevertheless, there is an important role for a journal of an interdisciplinary kind. Traditionally, GEOLOGICAL JOURNAL has been such a journal and continues in its aim of promoting interest in all branches of the Geological Sciences, through publication of original research papers and review articles.
The Journal has a particular interest in publishing papers on regional case studies from any global locality which have conclusions of general interest. Such papers may emphasize aspects across the full spectrum of geological sciences.
Sedimentology - facies analysis, regional sedimentary environments, basin analysis, process of sedimentation, general palaeogeographic reconstruction, diagenesis.
Palaeontology - palaeontology, biostratigraphy, community palaeoecology, functional morphology, biogeography, evolutionary palaeontology, taphonomony, ichnology.
Structural Geology - strain analysis, fabrics, regional structural geology, global tectonics, experimental deformation, folds, faults, brittle fracture.
Geophysics - seismology, gravity, magnetics, electrical, electromagnetic, bore-hole logging, application of geophysics to crustal studies, marine studies, exploration, engineering geology, mantle studies.
Geochemistry - stable and unstable isotope studies, major and trace element studies, genetic geochemical modelling, fluid - rock interaction, applied geochemistry.
Metamorphic Geology - regional studies, determination of T/P, fluid composition, crystallization paths, history of burial and uplift of large metamorphic areas.
Igneous Geology - regional studies of igneous provinces, magma genesis, magma composition, magmatic product, igneous centres, petrological studies.

Instructions to Authors
- General information. Manuscripts should be submitted to either of the editors:
Dr Ian D. Somerville, Editor-in-Chief, Geological Journal, Department of Geology, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Dr R. K. Pickerill, North American Editor, Geological Journal, Department of Geology, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, E3B 5A3.
Authors must also supply:
- an electronic copy of the final version (see section below),
- a Copyright Transfer Agreement with original signature(s) - without this we are unable to accept the submission, and
- permission grants - if the manuscript contains extracts, including illustrations, from other copyright works (including material from on-line or intranet sources) it is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from the owners of the publishing rights to reproduce such extracts using the Wiley Permission Request Form. Permission grants should be submitted with the manuscript.
Only original papers will be accepted on the understanding that they have not been submitted or published elsewhere, and will become copyright of the publisher (see below). Papers of international interest in any field of geology will be considered. Articles must be written clearly and concisely in English. American or English spelling of words is acceptable. (Authors whose native language is not English are recommended to seek the advice of a colleague who has English as his mother-tongue before submitting the manuscript).
Please organize the paper in the style of recent issues of the Journal. Authors should submit the names, postal addresses and e-mail addresses (or fax numbers) of at least three potential referees. Manuscripts that are not in the form and style given in this guide will be returned to the author for revision.
- Electronic submission. When a paper is in its final form and has been accepted for publication, please supply 2 copies of the final version on labelled floppy disk, CD-ROM or zip disk. These must be accompanied by an identical hard-copy printout. The disks should be clearly labelled with the filename, the date, the author's name, and the hardware/software packages used. The preferred medium is a 3.5 inch PC or Macintosh format disk. Our software preferences is for WordPerfect/Word, although other packages are acceptable. We are also able to accept line artwork/graphics on disk (see below). The disks must be accompanied by a hard-copy printout. If the disks and the hard-copy differ, the hard-copy will be treated as the definitive version.
- Manuscripts should be prepared on a word-processor, with double-spacing and wide margins, on one side of the paper only. Pages should be numbered sequentially starting with the title page and ending with the references. No reference should be made to the page numbers in the text; if necessary you may refer to section numbers. The approximate position for insertion of figures and tables should be marked in the left margin. Three copies of the manuscript should be submitted.
The manuscript should be ordered in the following style:
- title (short but informative), use lower and upper case letters;
- authors' names and affiliations;
- full postal address (including fax and e-mail) for corresponding author on page one of the manuscript;
- abstract (should be short, 250-400 words, and informative, emphasizing the results and conclusions rather than describing the contents of the paper;
- keywords (up to seven keywords separated by a semicolon);
- introduction;
- description, methods and materials;
- results and interpretation;
- discussion and conclusions;
- acknowledgements;
- references
- appendices
- figures with legends;
- tables.
Use up to three grades of heading; the first- and second-order headings should be numbered. First-order headings are numbered, centred and capitalized throughout; second-order headings are numbered, flush with left margin, in italics, and using lower and upper case letters; third-order headings are not numbered, flush with left margin, in italics, and using lower and upper case letters. Text begins on the line directly below a third-order heading.
Footnotes must not be used (except in the title page and in tables).
Papers should not normally exceed 12,000 words, and short communications 3000 words (excluding figure legends), i.e. approximately 4 printed pages. Discussion papers arising from papers previously published in the Journal are welcomed (see Style in Volume 31 (1996)). Illustrations should be submitted with each copy of the manuscript on separate sheets. Authors' names should be written on each page of text and illustrations.
- Halftone illustrations. Good contrast and sharp glossy bromide prints (or original negatives) should accompany the manuscript and should not be attached to the pages. Prints from halftone illustrations cannot be accepted. Authors must submit page-size photographs of all illustrations for the benefit of referees. Photomicrographs should have a linear (bar) scale on them. All measurements should be made in the SI system.
Colour illustrations will be accepted only if their costs are borne by the author. Please ask the publisher for a quote.
Line drawings should be supplied on separate sheets at the same size as the intended printed version so that no enlargement or reduction is required, maximum size 205 ¡Á 160mm. Illustrations should be designed in a way that uses all available space, do not leave large areas blank. Lettering on the artwork should be no smaller than 8pt type. Computer-generated artwork must be submitted as laser-printed output at a resolution of 600 dots per inch on high-quality paper. Dot matrix printer output is unacceptable. Tints are also unacceptable; cross-hatching should be used. Drawn artwork should be carefully lettered and drawn in black ink. Drawings and photographs should be clearly labelled on the back with the figure number and the author's name, and the top of each figure should be clearly indicated by an arrow where necessary. All maps should contain a north arrow and latitude and longitude. Our preferred medium is a 3.5 inch PC or Macintosh format disk in a dedicated drawing package such as Adobe Illustrator/Corel Draw/Macromedia Freehand, not presentation, spreadsheet or database packages. Each graphic should be in a separate file, conform to the information above and be supplied as a source (original) file as well as an encapsulated PostScript (.EPS) file if different. Provide hard copy printout of each figure, with a figure legend.
Text references to figures should appear as (Figure 1); references to figures from other published works is with use of lower case initial letter (e.g. see Brown 1995, figure 2). All figures should be supplied with a separate figure legend, and numbered sequentially in the order in which they are cited in the text.
- Tables should be numbered consecutively and titled. All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Units of measurement should be given in parentheses. Explanations that are necessary to the understanding of the table should be given as footnotes at the bottom of the table. Tables should not be used to present lists, or to duplicate data which are available elsewhere in the article, e.g. in a line diagram.
- Formulae, Symbols and Numbers. Formulae should be typed and presented clearly and used consistently. Mathematical symbols and Greek letters should be typed, but unusual symbols should be identified separately in the margin. Distinction should be made between ambiguous characters, e.g. between the letter O and zero. Ampersand (&) is not used in the text or references, use 'and' instead. The accepted abbreviation for 'around' is 'c'. Genus and species in fossil names must be italicised or underlined. Reference to formal taxonomic units such as Phylum, Class, Order, Family etc. is with initial capital letter.
Numerals are used in the text for numbers of '10' or greater except for the first word of a sentence. Numbers smaller than '10' are to be spelled out except for serial numbers, expressions of time and when referring to a figure. When numbers are part of a dataset, all are shown as numerals. Fractions are written out in full e.g. 'one-tenth'. Units of measurement and time are abbreviated and not followed by a period: cm (centimetre), ka (thousand years), Ma (million years), Ga (gigayears). In the text 'percentage' should be used but in tables and figures the symbol (%) is used.
- All references cited in the text should be listed in the reference section and vice versa. All spellings of author's names and year of publication should be exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
In the text, references should be cited by the author's name and the year, e.g. "The published work of Jackson (1998)" or "It is claimed (Jackson 1998)". Reference to an individual page(s) of a publication is written "(Jackson 1998, pp. 314 - 321)". Where there are two or more references to one author in the same year, the following form should be used: (Smith 1998a) or (Smith 1998b). Where references include three or more authors, (Smith et al. 1998) should be used. References in the text should be arranged chronologically, e.g. (Akhtar 1978; Singh 1973, 1980; Bose et al. 1999).
In the reference list the references should be arranged alphabetically by author's names and chronologically per author. The following order of publications for an individual author should be used: (i) publications of the single author, arranged chronologically by publication year; (ii) publications of the same author with one co-author, arranged alphabetically and chronologically according to publication year; (iii) publications of the same author with more than one co-author, arranged alphabetically etc.
All references should be written in full in the following manner:
