Author Guidelines

1. Manuscript Submission

Articles should be written in English. Contributions falling into the following categories will be considered for publication:

Original high-quality Research Papers (preferably no more than 35-40 double-line-spaced pages, including tables and figures).

Short Notes, for rapid high impact publication (no more than 10 double-line-spaced pages, including tables and figures).

Other: book reviews, syntheses, reviews and discussions.

Manuscripts should comprise original, unpublished material and not submitted for publication elsewhere.

Papers will be reviewed by at least two referees. Authors should propose three or more potential reviewers. Note that the editor retains the right to decide whether or not the suggested reviewers will be chosen. More information in Review Process and Acceptance.

Manuscript submission and peer review system proceeds totally online. Submit a unique PDF file including the text followed by captions to illustrations and the figures and tables at the end of the text (see Manuscript Preparation).

All artwork and photographs should be supplied in electronic form. Once the paper is accepted, line drawings or labelled images and half-tones (photographs) should be provided in a modifiable EPS format, as explained in Manuscript Preparation/Figures. Also a file with the caption list will have to be added as a suplementary file.

OJS allows you to check the status of your manuscript online throughout the review process.

2. Manuscript Preparation

Manuscripts should be double-spaced on A4 size paper, using a 12-point font size and leaving wide margins (3-100px).

Authors are responsible for providing manuscripts in which approved scientific terminology is used and which contain no grammar or spelling errors.

All pages should bear the author's name and be numbered serially. Lines should also be numbered.

Manuscripts not following the journal's guidelines will be sent back to authors.

3. Review Process and Acceptance

All scientific papers submitted to Geologica Acta are read critically by at least two referees before they are accepted for publication. The authors should include three or more potential reviewers (including an e-mail address and the institution), the editorial committee and the guest editors can send the manuscript to review by at least one referee not nominated by the authors.

Before manuscripts received by Geologica Acta are sent for review the editors apply a readiness test concerning appropriate length, theme and maturity of preparation. Manuscripts judged not ready for reviewing are returned, with a letter of explanation, to provide authors an early opportunity to resubmit a paper suitable for reviewing. The function of this editorial screening is to avoid sending papers for review that have obvious defects in construction or thematic content.

The acceptance or rejection of a manuscript is based on appraisal of the paper by two or more reviewers, the editorial committee, and the potential guest editors of special issues designated by Geologica Acta. Critical review determines the suitability of the paper, originality, and the adequacy and conciseness of the presentation. Nearly all manuscripts are returned to the author with suggestions for revision. The author has a maximum period of two months since the editorial decision is communicated to improve the manuscript following the suggestions of the reviewers and editor in charge. If the revised manuscript and the author's cover letter show that the author has conscientiously considered these suggestions, the manuscript may be accepted directly; however, some revised papers may be sent for additional review.
