INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Instructions to authors
Fróðskaparrit is Ihe joumal of the Faroese Society of
Sciences and Humanities. Papers from all areas of natural
and medical sciences, and the humanities are invited in any
Scandinavian language or English as long as their topics
pertain to the Faroes.
All manuscripts received will be evaluated by the board
of editors and/or independent referees. This style guide
must be followed or else the paper will be returned to the
author for revision.
Submit the original and one copy of the manuscript to
the Editor-in-Chief, preferably also as a file on a 3'A“
diskette in WordPerfect or Word or as an ASCII-file.
Authors will receive page proofs for correction and the
corrected proofs should be returned within 72 hours to the
Editor-in-Chief. Alterations should be kept to a minimum,
and extensive changes will be charged for.
You will not receive any printed offprints of your paper.
You will be sent a pdf instead, which you are free to place
on your website or distribute as you wish. The pdf will be
locked and its content cannot be changed or revised.
Style Guide:
Manuscripts should follow the general rules accepted within
the respective scientific field. However, endnotes should be
kept to a minimum and especially footnotes should be avoi-
ded - the full explanation be given in the text.
Italics (which can also be indicated in the text by under-
lining) should be used for:
1) References to titles of books and periodicals
2) Latin names of planls and animals
The title of the paper in bold, upper and lower case and the
author/s name: Italic, upperand lowercase followed by two
line spaces.
Level 1 subtitle: Bold, upper and lower case followed by
one line space.
Level 2 subtitle: Bold, upper and lowcr case followed by
no space.
Level 3 subtitle: Italics, upper and lower case followed by
no space.
The title and Figure and Table legends in Faroese and
English.
The title and author’s name should be on the first page,
followed by an abstract of the paper, not exceeding 175
words amplifying but not repeating the title. It should
outline the purpose of the paper, the work, details and im-
portant results and conclusions. An extra summary should
be provided to be translated into Faroese or English
depending on the language of the paper. Full name and
address of author/s should be placed after the list of
references, including phone and fax numbers and e-mail
address.
The text should ideally contain: Introduction, Materials
and Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions, but
other concepts may be accepted. In the text the Intemational
Systems of Units are followed (Sl-Units, e.g. meter as m;
degree C as °C). Figures: Tables and Figures (including
photographs) should be listed after the text, and they should
be explained in the caption (not as:.. see text). In Tables the
tabulator must be used, never spaces. Figures must be
submitted as a EPS (PRN ?) file or printed on white paper.
All lettering and numbering will be added by the printer’s
computer. Photographs in black and white or colour plates
must be supplied as dias or glossy prints, not larger than A4
in size.
In the text, references should not be cited by numbering,
but as Joensen (1963), or when more convenient as (Joen-
sen, 1963). More than one reference should be written as
Joensen (1963; 1970), or (Joensen, 1963; 1970), or (Svabo,
1783; Joensen, 1963). References to specific pages should
be given as (Joensen, 1963: 123-134). Two authors should
be referred as (Joensen and Táning, 1970) and more than
two authors as (Enckell et al., 1986). See below for
references written in full. The list of references should not
be numbered but placed in alphabetical order, the titles of
books given in full, and journals with the abbreviations used
by the actual journal, as follows:
