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 specialisation of the joumal is
geographical rather than with regard to discipline. Specific areas of
coverage include glaciology, glacial geology, physical geography, general
geology, petrology, volcanology, geothermal research, geophysics,
meterology, 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 production; the
other two may be of lower quality. If possible send the manuscript and
figures also on a computer diskette.
Languages
Accepted languages are Icelandic and English. All articles must include
an abstract and figure text 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.
Instmctions to the editor should be made on a separate sheet, not in the
margin.
A complete manuscript for normal article consists of the following 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, Techniques,
Materials studied, Area description, Results, Discussion, etc.).
5. Conciusion.
6. Acknowledgements, if any.
7. References.
8. Tables.
9. Figure captions.
10. Illustrations.
Formulae, symbols and numerical data
Formulae and algebraic symbols should be typewritten or written 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 in 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 Intemational
Union of Pure and Applied Physics. The Intemational System of Units,
denoted SI, should be use throughout for numerical data.
References
Beginning with No. 39, Jökull will adopt a new style for references. In
text refer to the author’s name and year of publication followed, if
necessary, by a short reference to appropriated pages. Examples:
Thorarinson et al. (1983). Ámason (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 list should
be arranged unnumbered in alphabetical order according to the following
system: Joumal:
Bodvarsson, G. 1955. On the flow of ice-sheet and glaciers. Jökull 5,
1-8.

Abbreviate the titles of periodicals mentioned in the list of references 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 1, Table 2 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 plastic 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 thickness. 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 fígure number.
Reprints
Authors receive 25 reprints free of charge. Additional reprints may be
ordered when galley proofs are retumed to the editor.
