INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Instructions to authors
Fróðskaparrit is the joumal of the Faroese Society ofSciences
and Humanities. Papers from all areas of natural and medical
sciences, and the humanities are invited in any Scandinavian
language or English as long as their topics pertain to the
Faroes.
All manuscripts received will be evaluated by the board of
editors and/or independent referees. This style guide must be
followed or else the paper will be retumed to the author for
revision.
Submit the original and two copies of the manuscript to the
Editor-in-Chief, preferably also as a file on a 3V4" diskette in
WordPerfect or Word or as an ASCII-file.
Authors will receive page proofs for correction and the
corrected proofs should be returned within 72 hours to the
Editor-in-Chief. Alterations should be kept to a minimum, and
extensive changes will be charged for.
Authors will not receive any offprints free but and can
order for some.
Style Guide:
Manuscripts should follow the general rules accepted within
the respective scientific field. However, endnotes should 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 underhning)
should be used for:
1) References to titles ofbooks and periodicals
2) Latin names ofplants and animals
The title of the paper in bold, upper and lower case and the
author/s name: Italic, upper and lower case followed by two
line spaces.
Level 1 subtitle: Bold, upper and lower case followed by one
line space.
Level 2 subtitle: Bold, upper and lower case followed by no
space.
Level 3 subtitle: Italics, upper and lower case followed by no
space.
The title and Figure and Table legends in Faroese and
English.
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 outline the
purpose of the paper, the work, details and important 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 author/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 Intemational 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 submitted as a EPS (PRN
?) file or printed on white paper. All lettering and numbering
will be added by the printer's computer. Photographs in black
and white or colour plates must be supplied as dias 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 (Joensen,
1963). More than one reference should be written as Joensen
(1963; 1970), or (Joensen, 1963; 1970), or (Svabo, 1783;
Joensen, 1963). References to specific pages should be given
as (Joensen, 1963: 123-134). Two authors should be referred as
(Joensen and Táning, 1970) and more than two authors as
(Enckell et al., 1986). See below for references written in full.
The list of references should not be numbered but placed in
alphabetical order, the titles of books given in full, and joumals
with the abbreviations used by the actual joumal, as follows:
