Special issue of Geo-Marine Letters for PiE 2010
|
|
| Geo-Marine Letters (published by Springer, Berlin / Heidelberg) would be pleased to publish the peer-reviewed contribution to the conference. We are therefore planning a special issue (SI) of Geo-Marine Letters on "Particles in Europe (PiE) 2010" for hardcopy publication in early 2012. Depending on how quickly the original manuscripts are submitted, and the reviewing and revision completed, many papers should appear online already in 2011.
All colour figures are free of charge in the on-line as well as the printed version!

Instructions for authors
|
|
Detailed Instructions for authors can be found at http://www.springer.com/earth+sciences/geology/journal/367. For your convenience, some key information concerning manuscript preparation and processing is summarised below.
|
|
|
Standard article
Please follow the guidelines and structure outlined below.
- Length: not strictly limited but authors should generally keep the ‘‘letter’’ nature of the journal in mind. In other words, less is more!
- Choose between British and American English, and use consistently throughout.
- There is no strict size limit for the Abstract in this journal. It should nevertheless be concise and as short as possible. Usually 250–300 words are more than sufficient.
- Size of printed page (useful in designing the figures): double-column page: one column = 8.6 cm across. Total page print area is 17.5 cm across and 23.1 cm down.
General outline of an article in GML
- Abstract
- Introduction
- Physical setting (if not already addressed in the Introduction)
- Materials and methods (or Methods)
- Results: minimise citation of published work
- Discussion (or Discussion and conclusions): presents an interpretation of the results and their significance with reference to published work. Plain repetition of the Results section must be avoided
- Conclusions (if not already combined with the Discussion): this is not a summary (cf. the Abstract serves this purpose) but rather focuses on the implications of the main findings
- Acknowledgements
- References: presents only published/filed works cited in the main text, not articles in prep. References are listed alphabetically (multi-author articles: first author only) and then in order of first appearance. (In the main text, references are cited by author and year, in order of first appearance and then alphabetically for one/two-author articles, followed by multi-author articles: e.g. Smith 1994, 2005a, 2005b; Jones 1996; Anton and Smith 1996; Jones et al. 1996; Anton et al. 2001).
| Electronic file formats
|
| On the online submission system, upload the following files/formats:
- One, single, editable Word .doc file (not .docx format!) containing the whole text: main text, figure captions, tables (each table preceded by its legend)
- The figure files, each figure in a separate file, using standard graphic formats and uncomplicated file names (e.g. Fig1.eps, Fig2.tiff, Fig3.jpeg). DO NOT USE .pdf format for figures.
- Any files for electronic supplementary material.
Notes about tables and equations:
- Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables in your Word file.
- Use the equation editor or MathType for equations.
- If you use Word 2007, do not create the equations with the default equation editor but use the Microsoft equation editor or MathType instead.
| Common causes of delay in paper processing
| Common causes of delay in the formal processing of papers include
- Incomplete references
- The citation of figures/tables out of sequence
- The submission of non-annotated figure parts and
- The submission of the text in non-editable formats (e.g. pdf).
Thus:
- Take care that all references cited in the main text/figure captions/tables appear in the References list, and that all references in the list are cited somewhere in the main text/figure captions/tables.
- Take care that the figures/tables are cited sequentially in the main text. The first citation of Fig. 1 must appear before the first citation of all other figures, the first citation of Fig. 2 must appear before the first citation of Fig. 3 and all subsequent figures, etc. This serves as guide for the typesetter to insert the figures/tables in the correct sequence.
- Embedded into the actual plot of each figure part, there needs to be an annotation a, b, c, …
- Articles with very long tables reporting raw data: these tables will be published as electronic supplementary material (ESM); ESM does not appear in the article itself but only as an online link to the article. Number these tables as Table 1, Table 2,...
