About the journal
The Journal of Archaeological Science is aimed at archaeologists and scientists with particular interests in advances in the application of scientific techniques and methodologies to all areas of archaeology. This established monthly journal publishes original research papers, major review articles, and short notes of wide archaeological significance.
The journal provides an international forum for archaeologists and scientists from widely different scientific backgrounds who share a common interest in using scientific methods to increase the information derived from archaeological research.
Discounted subscriptions are available to members of the Association for Environmental Archaeology. Visit the AEA websitehttp://www.envarch.net/offers/jas-discount.html to find out more.
Instructions to Authors
Guide for Authors
1. The Journal of Archaeological Science aims to publish papers, reviews, focus articles and short notes covering the interaction between the sciences and archaeology, with particular emphasis upon methodological innovation.
2. Submission of manuscripts. Submission to this journal proceeds completely online. Use the following guidelines to prepare your article. Via the "Author Gateway" page of this journal (http://authors.elsevier.com/) you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the Author's homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail.
The above represents a very brief outline of this form of submission. It can be helpful to print this "Guide for Authors" section from the site for reference in the subsequent stages of article preparation.
Please also supply e-mail, fax and telephone numbers.
Five possible referees with their addresses should be suggested. The suggested referees for manuscripts submitted to the Stanford office must reside in North America.
Notes and footnotes should be avoided.
Preference will be given to papers less than 5000 words in length (excluding bibliography). Focus articles should be no more than 10 double-spaced pages, approximately 2500 words, and should aim to clarify contested issues or stimulate further discussion.
Format
We prefer Word, WordPerfect and LaTeX, and accept most wordprocessing formats. An electronic version of the text should be submitted. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Label storage media with your name, journal title, and software used. Save your files using the default extension of the program used. No changes to the accepted version are permissible without the explicit approval of the Editor. Electronic files can be stored on 3 1/2 inch diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh).
3. Symbols. In the use of abbreviations and symbols British Standards 1991 Part 1: 1954 should be followed. SI Units (Syst¨¨me International d'Unit¨¦s) should be used. If other units have been used in the work reported, SI equivalents should appear in parentheses at strategic points.
4.Abstracts/keywords. A short abstract should be submitted with the paper, together with 3-7 keywords suitable for indexing.
5. Spelling. For the sake of uniformity, the editors reserve the right to modify spelling in order to conform to the Oxford English Dictionary.
6. References
a. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of author's names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
b. In the text indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given.
Example: '. . . . as demonstrated [3,6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result. . . .'
c. The list of references is arranged alphabetically and then numbered (numbers in square brackets).
d. Use the following system for arranging your references:
Reference to a journal publication:
[1] J. van der Geer, J.A.J. Hanraads, R.A. Lupton, The art of writing a scientific article, J. Sci. Commun. 163 (2000) 51-59.
Reference to a book:
[2] W. Strunk Jr., E.B. White, The Elements of Style, third ed., Macmillan, New York, 1979.
Reference to a chapter in an edited book:
[3] G.R. Mettam, L.B. Adams, How to prepare an electronic version of your article, in: B.S. Jones, R.Z. Smith (Eds.), Introduction to the Electronic Age, E-Publishing Inc., New York, 1999, pp. 281-304.
e. In the case of publications in any language other than English, the original title is to be retained. However, the titles of publications in non-Roman alphabets should be transliterated, and a notation such as '(in Russian)' or '(in Greek, with English abstract)' should be added.
f. Work accepted for publication but not yet published should be referred to as 'in press'. Authors should provide evidence (such as a copy of the letter of acceptance).
g. References concerning unpublished data, theses, and 'personal communications' should not be cited in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text.
7. Illustrations, whether photographs or drawings, should be numbered in one series in their order of mention. Captions should be listed on a separate sheet. Only high-quality photocopies of artwork should be submitted initially. Original line drawings and photographs will be required for printing. For full details on preparation of artwork for print, please refer to the Author Artwork section on http://authors.elsevier.com.
Color Reproduction
Submit color illustrations as original photographs, high-quality computer prints or transparencies, close to the size expected in publication, or as 35 mm slides. Polaroid color prints are not suitable. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
Supplementary data
Elsevier now accepts electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to publish supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier web products, including ScienceDirect: http://www.sciencedirect.com. In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure that data is provided in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed instructions please visit our Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com.
8. Proofs will be sent to the author (first-named author if no corresponding author is identified on multi-authored papers) by PDF wherever possible and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt, preferably by e-mail. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any other amendments made may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are returned to us in one all-inclusive e-mail or fax. Subsequent additional corrections will not be possible, so please ensure that your first communication is complete. Should you choose to mail your corrections, please return them to: Issue Management, Elsevier, Stover Court, Bampfylde Street, Exeter, Devon, EX1 2AH, UK.
9. Alternative proof reader. In order to avoid as much delay as possible in the return of proofs, it would be appreciated if authors who are likely to be away on field work for more than a few days would provide the name and address of an alternative proof reader. This should be done as soon as the manuscript is accepted for press, giving dates within the following six months when field work is anticipated.
10. Copyright/offprints. Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided. If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact ELSEVIER, Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford, OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com
In consideration for the assignment of copyright, the Publisher will supply 25 offprints of each paper (100 copies when the author pays for color reproduction of figures in their article). Further offprints may be ordered at extra cost at the proof stage.
11. Author inquiries. For inquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission where available) please visit Elsevier's Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com. The Author Gateway also provides the facility to track accepted articles and set up e-mail alerts to inform you of when an article's status has changed, as well as detailed artwork guidelines, copyright information, frequently asked questions and more. Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided after registration of an article for publication.
US National Institutes of Health (NIH) voluntary posting ("Public Access") policy Elsevier facilitates author response to the NIH voluntary posting request (referred to as the NIH "Public Access Policy"; see http://www.nih.gov/about/publicaccess/index.htm) by posting the peer-reviewed author's manuscript directly to PubMed Central on request from the author, 12 months after formal publication. Upon notification from Elsevier of acceptance, we will ask you to confirm via e-mail (by e-mailing us at NIHauthorrequest@elsevier.com) that your work has received NIH funding and that you intend to respond to the NIH policy request, along with your NIH award number to facilitate processing. Upon such confirmation, Elsevier will submit to PubMed Central on your behalf a version of your manuscript that will include peer-review comments, for posting 12 months after formal publication. This will ensure that you will have responded fully to the NIH request policy. There will be no need for you to post your manuscript directly with PubMed Central, and any such posting is prohibited.
