Jökull
Instructions to Authors
Scope of the journal
Jökull publishes research papers, notes and review articles
about all aspects of Earth Sciences. The joumal aims to be an
intemational forum for geoscience research in Iceland. The spe-
cialization of the joumal is geographical rather than with regard
to discipline. Specific areas of coverage include glaciology, gla-
cial geology, physical geography, general geology, petrology,
volcanology, geothermal research, geophysics, meteorology,
hydrology and oceanography.
Submission of manuscripts
Three complete copies of text and figures should be submitted,
one containing the original illustrations in a form ready for
reproduction; the other two may be of lower quality. If possible
send the manuscript also on a computer diskette.
Languages
Accepted languages are Icelandic and English. All articles
must include an abstract in Icelandic and English. Notes do not
require an abstract. Papers in Icelandic cover topics of interest for
the members of the Societies.
Manuscripts
Manuscripts must be clearly typed, double spaced, with an
ample left margin and on one side of the sheet only. Each sheet
must be paginated. Figure captions, legends, tables, illustrations
and the reference list should be on separate sheets. Words to be
printed in italics should be underlined. Instructions to the editor
should be made on a separate sheet, not in the margin.
A complete manuscript for normal article consists of the fol-
lowing items:
1. Title (brief but informative).
2. Author’s name, place, institute or laboratory.
3. Abstract in English (not exceeding 300 words).
4. Main text with sub-headings (Introduction, Methods, Tech-
niques, Materials studied, Area description, Results, Discus-
sion, etc.).
5. Conclusion.
6. Acknowledgements, if any.
7. References.
8. Tables.
9. Figure captions.
10. Illustrations.
Formulae, symbols and numerical data
Formuale and algebraic symbols should be typewritten or writ-
ten by hand with utmost care. If there are several formulae, they
should be numbered (1), (2), (3), etc. Formulae can be referred to
in the text by numbers within brackets. Give the meaning of all
symbols. Algebraic symbols for physical quantities should fol-
low the recommendations of the Commission for Symbols, Units
and Nomenclature of the Intemational Union of Pure and
Applied Physics. The Intemational System of Units, denoted SI,
should be used throughout for numerical data.
Reference system
In text refer to the author’s name and year of publication fol-
lowed, if neccessary, by a short reference to appropriate pages.
Examples: Thorarinsson and others (1983). Amason (1976, p.
77, fig. 20). (Bodvarsson, 1955). If there are two or more papers
by the same author(s) in the same year, then a, b, etc. should be
added to the year. The reference Iist should be arranged unnum-
bered in alphabetical order according to the following system:
Joumal:
Bodvarsson, G. 1955. On the flow of ice-sheet and glaciers.
Jökull 5, 1-8.
Thorarinsson, S., K. Saemundsson and R. S. Williams, Jr.
1973. ERTS-1 image of Vatnajökull. Analysis of glacio-
logical structure and volcanic features. Jökull 23, 7-17.

Mid-Atlantic ridge. In S. Bjömsson, ed. Iceland and
Mid-Ocean Ridges. Soc. Sci. Islandica, Rit 38, 111-127.

Personal communication:
Thorbjöm Sigurgeirsson (personal communication, 1978).
Abbreviate the titles of periodicals mentioned in the list of refer-
ences according to the International Serials Catalogue published
by the Intemational Council of Scientific Unions Abstracting
Board (ISBN 92-9027-004-7).
Tables
Tables should be as simple as possible and large tables should
be avoided. They should be numbered Table I, Table II etc. and
each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title.
Illustrations
All illustrations must be ready for reproduction. The final scale
should usually be adjusted either to the width of a single column
(75 mm) or the maximum width of the printing area of the page
(155 mm). Breadths between these mentioned are also accepted.
Photographs should be submitted as glossy prints. A suitable
size is about 1.2-1.5 times the final printing size.
Line drawings must be drawn with black ink on paper or plas-
tic foil. Suitable scale of originals is about 1.2-2 times the final
printing size. Consider this reduction when deciding the size of
numbers, letters, symbols and line thicknesses. Numbers and
letters should not be less than 1 mm in the printing scale. In
printing, lines cannot be finer than 0.1 mm and the distance
between lines not less than 0.2 mm. Fold-outs can only be
accepted in exceptional cases.
All illustrations should be identified lightly with a pencil on
the back with the name of the author and the figure number.
Reprints
Authors receive 25 reprints free of charge. Additional reprints
may be ordered when galley proofs are retumed to the editor.
