Jökull
Instructions for authors
Scope and policy of the journal
Jökull publishes research papers, notes and review articles
concerning all aspects of the Earth Sciences. The journal
is primarily aimed at being an international forum for
geoscience research in Iceland. Specific areas of covera-
ge include glaciology, glacial geology, physical geography,
general geology, petrology, volcanology, geothermal rese-
arch, geophysics, meteorology, hydrology and oceanograp-
hy. Jökull also publishes research notes and reports from
glacier expeditions, book reviews, and material of interest to
the members of the Icelandic Glaciological and Geoscience
Societies.
Submission of manuscripts
Papers submitted to Jökull should report original and unpu-
blished work which is not being considered for publicati-
on elsewhere. An electronic copy of each paper should be
emailed to one of the editors. Three printed copies in double
line spacing, single column and full page width may also be
submitted via mail.
Each paper is reviewed by at least two independent ref-
erees. Upon acceptance, we request a copy of the final man-
uscript, and as many figures as possible, electronically or
on a CD. Preferred software formats are LaTex or MS Word.
Short to moderate length papers are encouraged. Papers will
typically be limited to 20 pages in Jökull format.
Accepted languages are Icelandic and English.
Reviewed articles must include an abstract and figure text in
both languages. If authors do not speak Icelandic the editors
reserve the right to translate the abstract and figure captions.
Notes do not require an abstract. Papers in Icelandic cover
topics of interest for the members of the Societies.
Manuscripts
Titles should be brief and informative. An abbreviated title
suitable for page headings is also required. The abstract
should be a single paragraph that states the nature of the
investigation and summarises the conclusions drawn. The
abstract should not exceed 300 words. References should
not be cited in an abstract and abbreviations should be avoi-
ded. Words to be printed in italics should be underlined.
Instructions to the editor should be on a separate sheet.
Double-space the printed text to allow room for
reviewers to make annotations. Sections and subsections
should be clearly headed. Tables should be as simple as
possible and large tables should be avoided. Each table
should have a brief title. All illustrations must be ready
for reproduction. The final scale should usually be adju-
sted 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 PDF or Postscript
files, glossy prints or slides. Suitable scale of originals is
about 1–2 times the final printing size. Consider this reduc-
tion when deciding the size of numbers, letters, symbols and
line thickness. Numbers and letters should not be less than
1 mm in printing scale and lines not finer than 0.1 mm.
Formulae and algebraic symbols should be indicated
clearly and equations numbered sequentially. Give the me-
aning of all symbols. Algebraic symbols for physical quan-
tities should follow the recommendations of the Commissi-
on for Symbols, Units and Nomenclature of the Internati-
onal Union of Pure and Applied Physics. The International
System of Units, denoted SI, should be used throughout for
numerical data.
References should be listed in alphabetical order
at the end of the paper. Abbreviate the titles of peri-
odicals mentioned in the list of references according to
the International Serials Catalogue published by the In-
ternational Council of Scientific Unions Abstracting Board
(ISBN 92-9027-004-7).
