About the journal
The Journal of Geosciences is an international peer-reviewed journal published by the Czech Geological Society with support from the Czech Geological Survey. It accepts high-quality original research or review papers dealing with all aspects of the nature and origin of igneous and metamorphic rocks. The Journal focuses, mainly but not exclusively, on:
Process-oriented regional studies of igneous and metamorphic complexes
Research in structural geology and tectonics
Igneous and metamorphic petrology
Mineral chemistry and mineralogy
Major- and trace-element geochemistry, isotope geochemistry
Dating igneous activity and metamorphic events
Experimental petrology and mineralogy
Theoretical models of igneous and metamorphic processes
Mineralizing processes and mineral deposits
All the papers are written in English, even though they may be accompanied by an additional Czech abstract. Each contribution is a subject to peer review by at least two independent reviewers, typically at least one from abroad. The Journal appears 2 to 4 times a year. Formally it is divided in annual volumes, each of them including 4 issues.
We strongly believe that a scientific journal, being written, reviewed and edited by the scientists themselves, should be accessible freely to the whole community. Hence we intend the Journal of Geosciences (J. Geosci., ISSN 1802-6222) to be a truly Open Access Journal, offering free Internet access and on line publishing of electronic supplementary materials. There should be no page charges and a liberal policy towards the length of the papers, if justified by their scientific merit. We trust that these features make our Journal an attractive platform to publish.
The Journal is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded, Current Contents (Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences), Scopus, ProQuest, Geobase, GeoRef and DOAJ. It is also member of the CrossRef association and the Geoscience e-Journals webring.
Instructions to Authors
To help authors with the preparation of the manuscript, a Microsoft Word template is available here or can be obtained upon request from editor@jgeosci.org. Papers must be printed (or typed) on A4 (Letter) paper and double-spaced. Broad margins should be left at the sides, top and bottom. Pages should be numbered sequentially. Authors are encouraged to carefully study the current issue of the Journal to ensure that treir paper corresponds with the required format and style. Authors are urged to ensure that the English is of a good standard before manuscript submission. Poor manuscript formatting and/or language may result in rejection even prior to the review stage.
TITLE PAGE
The title should be concise and informative; authors should avoid overusing specific local and regional names. The first name (in full) and surname of each author should be followed by his or her affiliation(s) and address(es). The corresponding author should be indicated and his/her telephone, fax and e-mail address given. The authors should provide a running header not longer than 140 characters, including spaces.
Up to six key words should be given below the abstract in order of hierarchy, separated by commas.
The paper should be preceded by an Abstract summarizing the most important results and conclusions. The Abstract must be written on a separate page, may not contain any references or unusual abbreviations, and should not exceed 400 words (100 words for Letter to Editor and Discussion papers).
TEXT BODY
Abbreviations should be defined in full immediately after their first occurrence in the text. For the readability sake, the abbreviations, if defined by the author(s) for instance for individual rock units, should be used sparsely.
The SI units and their standard abbreviations are the norm; use decimal point and not comma to separate decimal digits. IUGS and IMA-approved terminology is to be strictly adhered to. Manuscripts presenting results of crystal-structure refinements must include Crystallographic Information File (CIF). This will be checked by an independent editor chosen from the Editorial Board and stored as a supplementary electronic material.
The following structure of headings is recommended where appropriate; each chapter should be numbered consecutively.
Heading 1 - Arial, bold, numbered, capital and lower case
Heading 2 - Arial, italic, numbered, capital and lower case
Heading 3 - Arial, plain text, numbered, capital and lower case
Heading 4 - Times, italic, indented; text to continue on the same line
1. Petrology
The durbachite rocks...
1.1. Textures
The textures of...
1.1.1. Durbachites
Regarding petrology,...
Čertovo břemeno type is widespread in the area...
For level 1–3 headings, the following text should begin without indent. Subsequent paragraphs should be indented.
REFERENCES
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. The list should only include works that are cited in the text and have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications should only be mentioned in the text. Text references should be cited by author and year, and ordered chronologically (e.g. Skinner et al. 1967; Černý 1973; Novotný and Neumann 1996, 1997) and listed alphabetically in the reference list. The list should be formatted as follows (note that this is a standard used by Springer; standard abbreviations are to be employed):
Journal articles:
Vrána S, Štědrá V, Fišera M (2006) Petrology and geochemistry of the Běstvina granulite body metamorphosed at eclogite facies conditions, Bohemian Massif. J Czech Geol Soc 50: 95–106
In case that the paper is written in a language other than English, German or French, the title should be translated:

TABLES
The tables should be numbered consecutively and printed on separate sheets with a brief descriptive title. More detailed explanations can be given below. Tables should be designed to fit a single (82 mm) or double column (170 mm) width of a Journal page. Text references to tables should appear as Tab. 1 or (Tab. 1) as appropriate.
FIGURES
Only high quality illustrations will be accepted. If submitted as hardcopies, figures must be laser-printed or drawn in black on white card or colourless tracing material. Each figure/plate must be submitted on a separate sheet and clearly identified with figure number and author’s names.
Individual parts of multiple figures (plates) are to be labeled by lower case letters, (a), (b), (c)...
All illustrations must be designed for, or at least suitable for, reduction to the width of the column (82 mm), one and half column (120 mm) or to the page size (170 × 240 mm). Figure explanation or map explanation (“legend”) should be included in the figures itself, not in the form of numbered explanations in the caption. Text references to figures or plates should appear as Fig. 1, Fig. 2a or (Fig. 1, Fig. 2a), unless at the beginning of a sentence.
Each map must contain geographic coordinates, North arrow and a scale bar. The figures may appear in colour on the Journal‘s Web at no additional charge. Therefore, authors may provide two versions of their illustrations, black and white for printing and colour for the web.
All Figures and Tables have to be numbered in a sequence they are referred to in the text.
SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRONIC MATERIAL
Authors are strongly encouraged to provide additional electronic material (such as extended data sets, photographs etc), which will not appear in the printed journal. Instead they will be stored in data repository and linked to the electronic version of the article. The supplementary data should be submitted in MS Excel (XLS), and the additional text/figures in PDF formats. For an interactive map with sample locations on the article's website (example), authors are encouraged to provide table with sample name, short description and geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) in decadic form according to WGS84 system.
OFFPRINTS
Twenty offprints are provided free of charge.
5. Electronic submission of the final version
After revisions, the complete manuscript including figures and tables should be sent by email (each message < 10 MB) or uploaded using Web services such as http://www.uschovna.cz. Alternatively it can be submitted on a single CD/DVD. The disc will not be returned.
The text should be typed in the style and order of the Journal. Use ENTER only once to separate paragraphs. The text should be unjustified, without hyphenation, using Times as the main text font (12 pts for the text body) and Symbol for Greek and special characters. The Word processing format should be invoked to indicate bold, italic, superscript and subscript characters. The authors should supply tables in MS Excel or MS Word Table formats.
The preferred figure formats exported from a drawing program are Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) for vector graphics and TIFF (with LZW compression) for halftone illustrations or line drawings. High-quality JPG files with low compression ratio are only acceptable for individual colour photographs.
Original files (e.g. CorelDraw – CDR, up to version 11; Adobe Creative Suite up to CS2; NOTE that Figures in MS Word or Excel formats are unacceptable) should also be provided. Arial font should be normally used; any non-standard fonts have to be embedded in the file. The line width must be at least 0.2 mm, the lettering at least 2 mm (8 pt.) high after reduction and no less than 20% gray is to be employed.
The file name (one file for each figure) must include the figure number. Figure captions should be included at the end of the text and not in the figure file. Photographs should have a 300 dpi resolution, scanned images at least 600 dpi (preferably 1200 dpi). See the overview table of the preferred formats.
6. Page charges
All colour illustrations are free of charge, if they are to appear solely in the online (PDF) version of the article. Authors, who wish to publish also the printed version of their illustrations in colour, are requested to contribute CZK 2500 (or equivalent of EUR 115, USD 155) to cover extra production costs for a single or CZK 5000 (EUR 230, USD 310) for up to 8 consecutive pages.
NOTE
Starting with issue 1/2012 we will have to introduce charges of 500 CZK/20 EUR per every page exceeding the limit of 16 printed pages. This will not apply to contributions, whose corresponding author is a current memeber of the Czech Geological Society.
