Jökull
Instructions to Authors
Scope of the journal
Jökull publishes research papers, notes and review articles about all as-
pects of Earth Sciences. The joumal aims to be an intemational fomm for
geoscience research in Iceland. The specialisation of the joumal is geo-
graphical rather than with regard to discipline. Specific areas of coverage
tnclude glaciology, glacial geology, physical geography, general geology,
petrology, volcanology, geothermal research, geophysics, meterology, hy-
drology and oceanography.
Submission of manuscripts
Three complete copies of text and figures should be submitted, one con-
taining the original illustrations in a form ready for production; the other
two may be of lower quality. If possible send the manuscript and ftgures
also on a computer diskette.
Languages
Accepted languages are Icelandic and English. All articles must include
an abstract and figure text in Icelandic and Engiish. Notes do not require an
abstract. Papers in Icelandic cover topics of interest for thq 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, iilustrations 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 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.).
3. Conclusion.
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 num-
ered (1), (2), (3), etc. Formulae can be referred to in the text by numbers
tn brackets. Give the meaning of all symbols. Algebraic symbols for phys-
tcal quantities should follow the recommendations of the Commission for
ymbols, Units and Nomenclature of the Intemational Union of Pure and
Pplied Physics. The Intemationa! 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
-xt refer to the author’s name and year of publication foliowed, if neces-
sary, 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 unnum-
bered in alphabetical order according to the following system:

1-8.

Abbreviate the titles of periodicals mentioned in the list of references to
tlie 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 avoid-
ed. 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 fmal 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 be-
tween 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 ftnal printing size. Con-
sider 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 dis-
tance between lines not less than 0.2 mm. Fold-outs can only be accepted
in exceptional cases.
AH 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 or-
dered when galley proofs are retumed to the editor.
