Bulletin of the Geological Society of Denmark
The Bulletin publishes contributions of international interest in all fields of geological sciences, with a natural emphasis on results of new work on material from Denmark, the Faroes and Greenland. Contributions based on foreign material may also be submitted to the Bulletin in cases where the author is a member of the Society.
The yearly rate of publishing is one volume. All articles are issued as pdf-files immediately after acceptance and technical production. A paper edition of each volume is produced for libraries only and issued at the end of eachyear.
Scientific editing and reviewing is done on unpaid collegial basis and technical production expenses are covered by the membership fees.
The Bulletin publishes articles normally not exceeding 16 printed pages, notes not longer than 4 pages, and short contributions of maximum 1 printed page. Longer articles may be published at the discretion of the editors, but it is advisable to consult an editor before submitting long manuscripts. Short contributions may be comments on previously published articles, presentation of current scientific activities, short scientific notes, or book reviews.
Manuscripts with complete sets of illustrations, tables, captions, etc., should be submitted electronically to the chief editor. The main text with references and figure captions should be either in Word, RTF or PDF format, figures should be in either pdf, jpeg, or tiff format, and tables should be in Word text format, i.e. written in lines with tab spacing between table columns. “Word tables” are strongly discouraged because they are not re-formatted easily. Consult the editor before submitting other formats.
Manuscripts will be reviewed by two referees; suggestions of referees are welcome. Articles will be published approximately in the order in which they are accepted for publication. The final decision on whether or not a manuscript will be accepted for publication rests with the chief editor, acting on the advice of the scientific editors.
Manuscript Language – Manuscripts should be in English. Authors who are not proficient in English should ask an English-speaking colleague for assistance before submission of the manuscript.
Title – Titles should be short and concise, with emphasis on words useful for indexing and information retrieval. An abbreviated title to be used as running head must also be submitted.
Abstract – An abstract in English must accompany all papers. It should be short (no longer than 250 words), factual, and stress new information and conclusions rather than describing the contents of the manuscript. Conclude the abstract with a list of key words.
Main text – Use 1.5 or double spacing throughout, and leave wide margins. Italics should be used only in generic and species names and in some Latin abbreviations (e.g. c., et al., ibid., op. cit). Use at most three grades of headings.
Spelling – Spelling of place names in Denmark is according to Danish orthography. Geological units named after localities in Greenland, formal lithostratigraphical units and intrusions named after localities in Greenland remain unchanged even if the eponymous locality names have since been changed in accordance with modern Greenlandic orthography.
References in text to figures, tables and papers – References to figures and tables in the text should have the form: Fig. 1, Figs 1–3, Table 3 or as (Smith 1969, fig. 3) when the reference is to a figure in a cited paper.
References to papers are given in the form Smith (1969) or (Smith 1969). Combined citations by different authors are separated by a semicolon; two or more papers by same author(s) are separated by commas. Citations are mentioned chronologically and then alphabetically. Use ‘et al.’ for three or more authors, e.g. Smith et al. (1985).
Reference listUse the following style:
Smith, A.A. 1989: Geology of the Bulbjerg Formation. Bulletin of the Geological Society of Denmark 38, 119–144. [Note that name of journal is given in full].
Smith, A.A., Jensen, B.B. & MacStuff, C.C. 1987: Sandstones of Denmark, 2nd edition, 533 pp. New York: Springer Verlag. [For more than 10 authors, use first author followed by et al.].
Smith, A.A., Jensen, B.B. & MacStuff, C.C. 1992: Characterization of Archean volcanic rocks. In: Hansen, D.D. et al. (eds): Geology of Greenland. Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin 40, 1397–1438. [More than three editors – therefore et al. form is used].
Sorting – Danish letters æ, ø and å (aa) are treated as ae, o and a (aa), respectively.
References are sorted by:
1: Alphabetically by the first author's surname
2: Papers by one author: two or more papers are arranged chronologically
3: Papers by two authors: alphabetically after second author's name. Two or more papers by the same two authors: chronologically.
4: Papers by three or more authors: chronologically. Papers from the same year are arranged alphabetically after second, third, etc.author's name.
Authors themselves are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references. If incorrect references are found the manuscript will be returned to the author for complete rechecking. The reference list must include all, and only, the references cited in the paper (including figures, tables etc).
Illustrations May be prepared in either black and white or colour. There is no colour charge. Horizontal illustrations are much to be preferred. Size of smallest letters in illustrations should not be less than 5.5 pt. Remember scale.
All figures (including photographs) should be submitted in electronic form ready for direct reproduction, i.e. having the dimensions of the final figure with a standard resolution of 300 dpi for photographs. Preferred formats are pdf, tiff and jpg.
Size – The width of figures must be 82 mm, 125 mm or 171 mm. Maximum height is 223 mm.
Captions – Captions to figures, tables and plates must be delivered on separate pages.
Proofs and OffprintsProofs – Authors receive one set of page proofs of the article after technical set-up. The cost of any alterations against the final manuscript will be charged to the author.
Offprint – A pdf-file is supplied to the authors.
