be kept to a minimum and especially footnotes should be
avoided - the full explanation be given in the text.
Italics (which can also be indicated in the text by underlin-
ing) should be used for:
1) References to titles ofbooks and periodicals
2) Latin names ofplants and animals

no space.
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 out-
line the purpose of the paper. the work, details and impor-
tant results and conclusions. An extra summary should be
provided to be translated into Faroese or English depending
on the language of the paper. Full name and address of au-
thor/s should be placed after the list of references, including
phone and fax numbers and e-mail address.
The text should ideally contain: Introduction, Materials
and Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions, but
other concepts may be accepted. In the text the Intemation-
al 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 sub-
mitted as a EPS or TIFF file or printed on white paper. All
lettering and numbering will be added by the printer’s com-
puter. Photographs in black and white or colour plates must
be supplied as dias (6cm x 6cm) or glossy prints, not larger
than A4 in size.
In the text, references should not be cited by numbering,
but as Joensen (1963), or when more convenient as

as Joensen (1963; 1970), or (Joensen, 1963; 1970), or (Sv-
abo, 1783; Joensen, 1963). References to speciftc pages
should be given as (Joensen, 1963: 123-134). Two authors
should be referred as (Joensen and Táning, 1970) and more
