Bulletin of the Geological Society of Denmark
The Bulletin publishes articles, normally not exceeding 16 printed pages, notes not longer than 4 pages, and short contributions, maximum 1 printed page. Longer articles may be published at the discretion of the editor, but it is advisable to consult the editor before submitting long manuscripts – extra charges may apply in these cases. Short contributions may be comments on previously published articles, presentation of current scientific activities, short scientific notes or book reviews.
Two copies of the manuscript, each with a complete set of illustrations, tables, captions, etc., should be sent to the editor. Manuscripts will be reviewed by two referees and will appear approximately in the order in which they are accepted for publication. The final decision on whether or not a manuscript will be accepted for publication rests with the editor, acting, when necessary, on the advice of the editorial board. The final version of the manuscript should be submitted as a paper copy and as a digital file. If possible line drawings, tables, etc. should also be submitted as computer files.
ManuscriptLanguage – Manuscripts should be in English. Authors who are not proficient in English should ask an English-speaking colleague for assistance before submission of the manuscript.
Title – Titles should be short and concise, with emphasis on words useful for indexing and information retrieval. An abbreviated title to be used as running head must also be submitted.
Abstract – An abstract in English must accompany all papers. It should be short (no longer than 250 words), factual, and stress new information and conclusions rather than describing the contents of the manuscript. Conclude the abstract with a list of key words.
Danish summary – Authors are encouraged to deliver a short summary in Danish to follow the main text.
Main text – Use double spacing throughout, and leave a wide left margin (3.5 cm). Italics should be used only in generic and species names and in some Latin abbreviations (e.g. c., et al., ibid., op. cit). Use at most three grades of headings, but do not underline or capitalize. Indicate figure and table placement in pencil in the left margin.
References to figures, tables and papers – References to figures and tables in the text should have the form: Fig. 1, Figs 1–3, Table 3 or as (Smith 1969, fig. 3) when the reference is to a figure in a cited paper. – References to papers are given in the form Smith (1969) or (Smith 1969). Combined citations by different authors are separated by a semicolon; two or more papers by same author(s) are separated by commas. Citations are placed chronologically and then alphabetically. Use ‘et al.’ for three or more authors, e.g. Smith et al. (1985).
Reference listDanish letters æ, ø and å (aa) are treated as ae, o and a (aa), respectively. – Use following style:
Smith, A.A. 1989: Geology of the Bulbjerg Formation. Bulletin of the Geological Society of Denmark 38, 119–144.
[Note that name of journal is given in full].
Smith, A.A.., Jensen, B.B. & MacStuff, C.C. 1987: Sandstones of Denmark, 2nd edition, 533 pp. New York: Springer Verlag.
[For more than 10 authors, use first author followed by et al.].
Smith, A.A.., Jensen, B.B. & MacStuff, C.C. 1992: Characterization of Archean volcanic rocks. In: Hansen, D.D. et al. (eds): Geology of Greenland. Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin 40, 1397–1438.
[More than three editors – therefore et al. form is used].
References1: Alphabetically by the first author’s surname
2: Papers by one author: two or more papers are arranged chronologically
3: Papers by two authors: alphabetically after second author’s name. Two or more papers by the same two authors: chronologically.
4: Papers by three or more authors: chronologically. Papers from the same year are arranged alphabetically after second, third, etc. author’s name.
Authors themselves are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references. If incorrect references are detected the manuscript will be returned to the author for complete rechecking. The reference list must include all, and only, the references cited in the paper (including figures, tables etc).
SpellingGeological units named after localities in Greenland, formal lithostratigraphical units and intrusions named after localities in Greenland remain unchanged even if the eponymous locality names have since been changed in accordance with modern Greenlandic orthography.
IllustrationsIllustrations – Should be prepared for black and white printing on one page unless author pays for the extra printing costs related to colour printing (see below) or foldouts. Horizontal illustrations are much to be preferred. Size of smallest letters in illustrations should not be less than 5.5 pt. Remember scale. Submit copies of figures, tables, plates, etc. together with the manuscript. All figures (including photographs) should be submitted in electronic form ready for direct reproduction, i.e. having the dimensions of the final figure with a standard resolution of 300 dpi for photographs. Preferred formats are pdf, eps, tiff and jpg.
Size – The width of figures must be 82 mm, 125 mm or 171 mm. Maximum height is 232 mm.
Captions – Captions to figures, tables and plates must be delivered on separate pages.
Colour charge – Colour figures are accepted, but imply a charge of DKK 3200 excl. VAT pr. article (max 16 pages).
Proofs and OffprintsProofs – Authors receive one set of page proofs. Prompt return to the editor is requested. The cost of any alterations against the final manuscript will be charged to the author.
Offprint – One copy of the printed volume and a free pdf-file is supplied to the authors. Paper copies may be ordered at cost, when returning the proofs, stating carefully the number of copies and the address to which the offprints and invoice should be sent.
