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.

lining) should be used for:
1) References to titles ofhooks and periodicals
2) Latin names of plants and animals

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 address/es of
author/s should be placed below the author/s name/s
including the e-mail address/es.
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 in EPS, TIFF or JPEG format 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 or scanned and submitted on CD or by
e-mail in one of the aforementioned formats.
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
