Jökull
Instructions to Authors
Sœpe of the journal
Jökull publishes research papers, notes and review articles about all aspects of
Earth Sciences. The joumal aims to be an international forum for geoscience
research in Iceland. The specialization of the journal is geographical rather
than with regard to disdpline. Specific areas of coverage include glaciology,
glacial geology, physical geography, general geology, petrology, volcanology,
geothermal rescarch, geophysics, meteorology, hydrology and oceanography.
Submission of mar'uscripts
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.
Languages
Accepted languages are English, French and German. All articles must
include an abstract in 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 typ>ed, 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 rcference list should be on
separate sheets. Footnotes are undesirable. Words to be printcd in italics
should be underlined. Instructions to the editor should be made on a separatc
sheet, not in the margin.
A complete manuscript for normal article consists of the following itcms:
(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, Techniques,
Materials studied, Area description, Results, Discussion etc.).
(5) Conclusion.
(6) Acknowledgements, if any.
(7) References.
(8) Figure captions.
(9) Tables.
(10) Illustrations.
Formulae, symbols and numerical data
Formulae and algebraic symbols should be typewritten or writtcn 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 follow the recommendations of the Commission for
Symbols, Units and Nomenclature of the Intcrnational Union of Pure and
Applied Physics. The International System of Units, denoted SI, should bc
uscd throughout for numerical data.
Reference system
In text refer to the author’s name and year of pubiication followed, if
necessary, by a short reference to appropriate pages. Examples: Thorarinsson et
al. (1973). Amason (1976, p. 77, fig. 20). The reference list should be arranged
unnumbered in alphabetical order according to the following systcm:

features. Jökull 23: 7—17.

Do not abbreviate yourself the titles of periodicals mentioned in the list of
references, alternatively use the International List of Periodical Title Word
Abbreviations (ISO 833-1974) or the ISDS Register.
Tables
Tables should be as simple as p>ossible and large tables should be avoided.
They should be numbered Table 1, Table 2 etc. and each table should have a
brief and self-explanatory title.
IUustrations
All illustrations must be ready for reproduction. The final scale should
usually be adjusted either to the width of a single column (68 mm) or the
maximum width of the printing area of the page (140 mm). Breadths between
these mentioned are also accepted. For widths larger than 68 mm and smaller
than 110 mm, the figure text will normally be placed at the side of the figure.
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 plastic foil.
Suitable scale of originals is about 1.5 — 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
distancc between lines not less than 0.2 mm. Fold-outs can only be acccptcd
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 returned to the editor.
