EESTRSE Notes for Authors Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh publishes peer-reviewed, original scientific research papers, reviews and short communications on fields across the broad spectrum of the Earth and its surface environments. Articles do not need to have a specifically Scottish focus, nor are authors required to be Fellows of the Society. Articles should have relevance to a worldwide audience, even if the study is focused on a single geographic site. Papers should make topical, substantial and scholarly contributions, and the Editors are keen to encourage interdisciplinary papers. Discussions of articles previously published in the Transactions and reviews of topics of current interest are also invited. There are no page charges; however, if fold-outs or colour illustrations are envisaged, the Journals Officer should be consulted prior to submission ([email protected]). All new submissions are sent to at least two reviewers. 1. Submission Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, with separate Text, Table and Figure files – Text in WORD format; Tables in Excel; Figures as low-res PDFs, preferably at publication size. Any queries regarding submission may be sent to the RSE Journals Officer, as above – publications@royalsoced. org.uk – but as from 12 May 2016, all new submissions should be uploaded to the EESTRSE ScholarOne site through the following link: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tre Submissions to Earth and Environ- mental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh must not have been published, or be under consideration, elsewhere. 2. Preparation of papers 2.1. Language We recommend that non-English-speaking authors have their manuscripts checked by an English language native speaker before submission, to ensure that submissions are judged exclusively on academic merit. A number of third-party services specialising in language editing and/or translation can be found here: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/stream?pageId=8728& level=2&menu=Authors&pageId=3608. Please note: the use of any of these services is voluntary, and at the authors’ own expense. 2.2. Title page The first page should show: (a) a title that is concise and informative; (b) the name(s) and full address(es) of the author(s); and (c) a running head abbreviation of the title of no more than 50–60 characters. Papers by more than one author should be submitted with statements from all the authors, approving the paper in its entirety and its submission to EESTRSE, and naming the author responsible for correspondence. 2.3. Abstract and Key Words The second page should contain an Abstract of around 300 words, intelligible without reference to the text or references, and a list of Key Words (NB: words not already in the title) of no more than 150 characters, in alphabetical order. 2.4. Text Text should start on the third page. Words to be printed in italics, e.g. names of taxa, should be underlined, unless already in italic typeface. Use capital letters for formal terms only. The metric system should be used throughout. Abbreviate compass points to N, NW, NW, SE etc. Enclose map references in square brackets, e.g. [NM 4437 0293]. In papers on systematic palaeontology, anatomical abbreviations should be included in the relevant Figure captions, rather than listed in a separate section. See a recent issue for general systematics style. 2.5. Headings The introductory section should have no heading. The first headed section after the introduction should be numbered as 1. Primary headings are numbered consecutively 1, 2, 3, etc. Secondary headings are 1.1., 1.2., 1.3., etc. Both should appear flush left, with their text starting on a separate line below. Tertiary headings (1.1.1., 1.1.2., etc.) should start a new paragraph, with indent, and should be followed by a full stop and the text to which they refer. All headings should be in bold. Cross-references in text should be to a section (e.g., (see section 2.3)), not to a page. 2.6. Footnotes Do not use footnotes in main text. 2.7. References All publications cited in the text, including those pertaining to the authorship of taxa, must be included in the Reference list, which is arranged in alphabetical order by author. 2.7.1. Citation of Figures and References in text. References to Figures are ‘‘Figure 1a’’ in a sentence, but ‘‘(Fig. la)’’, ‘‘(Figs 1, 3a, 5)’’ in parentheses. References to other authors’ figs, etc. take lower case initial to differentiate from references to Figures in current paper: ‘‘(Smith 1990, fig. 4; Adams 1993, pl. 2, fig. 3; Fig. 3)’’ When referring to Refs in text: ‘‘Smith & Jones (1990)’’ – for author plus one other; ‘‘Smith et al. (1992)’’ – when more than two authors. When listing Refs in parentheses: date order, and alphabetical within that; allow ampersands: ‘‘(Smith 1990, 1997, 2000; Adams et al. 1993; James & Drury 1993; Smith et al. 2000; Smith & Jones 2001; James et al. 2004)’’ 2.7.2. References at end. Only published or in press items, or unpublished theses with the University clearly specified, are to be included in the References. Journal and series titles should be written out in full, upper and lower case italics; no comma after; volume numbers in bold; one space between author initials (i.e., Clarkson, E. N. K., not Clarkson, E.N.K.); ampersand (&), not ‘and’ for final author in multi-authored papers (i.e., Smith, Brown & Clark, not Smith, Brown and Clark). References at the end should be ordered thus: (i) single author – alphabetically by initials, and then by date; e.g., Smith, A. B. 1990; Smith, A. B. 1996; Smith, C. D. 1989; Smith, C. D. 1990. (ii) author plus two or more co-authors (et al. in text) – by date; e.g., Smith, Jones & Clerk 1993; Smith, Brown & Clerk 1995a (= Smith et al. 1995a in text); Smith, Jones & Clerk 1995b ( Smith et al. 1995b in text); Smith, Clerk, Brown & Jones 1997. (iii) author plus one other – alphabetical by 2nd author, and then by date within that; e.g., Smith & Brown 1997; Smith & Jones 1987; Smith & Jones 1996. Set out as in examples below: Copper, P. & Gourvennec, R. 1996. Evolution of the spire-bearing brachiopods, (Ordovician–Jurassic). In Copper, P. & Jin, J. (eds) Brachiopods, 81–88. Rotterdam: A. A. Balkema. Chappell, B. W. & White, A. J. R. 1992. 1- and S-type granites in the Lachlan Fold Belt. Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Earth Sciences 83, 1–26. Jarvik, E. 1980. Basic structure and evolution of vertebrates, Vol. 1, 74– 98. London: Academic Press. 3. Preparation of Tables and Figures 3.1. Tables Tables should be numbered, and cited, consecutively throughout the paper, and provided on separate pages at the end of the MS, not embedded in the text. Each Table should have a caption. For layout of analytical data, see tables published in previous issues. Authors should send published analyses of igneous rocks to the UK~IGBA file. 3.2. Figures Illustrations should be numbered, and cited, consecutively throughout the paper. A list of figure captions should be provided on a separate page after the References; figures and figure captions should not be embedded in the text. A scale should be shown on the figure (e.g., a bar scale on a photomicrograph), rather than giving magnifications in the caption, in case figures are reduced or enlarged. Large figures can be subdivided for repro- duction on facing pages. Fossil illustrations should be illuminated top left. Figures in PDF format are sufficient for submission purposes. Should a paper be accepted for publication, high-quality electronic files will be requested. Detailed guidelines for their production are available on request from the RSE’s Journals Officer ([email protected]) 4. Proofs and offprints A typeset PDF proof of an accepted paper will be sent to the corresponding author for checking. 25 offprints (with covers) of a published paper are provided gratis and additional offprints may be ordered (in batches of 25) when checked proofs are returned. A PDF of the final published paper (the ‘Publisher’s Version’) can be supplied on request to the Journals Officer. 5. Copyright/Open Access The RSE now operates a ‘hybrid’ Open Access model for its journals, for accepted papers submitted on or after 1 April 2013. On acceptance, authors will be given the option of having their papers published either under a regular publication agreement or under a fully Open Access agreement. Under the regular publication (‘Green’) option, authors will be asked to sign the Journal’s standard transfer of copyright form. If authors choose the full (Gold’) Open Access option, they will be asked to sign the alternative Open Access form and, upon payment of a one-off Article Processing Charge (APC) of GBP 1,780/USD 2,835 (for papers accepted from August 2015 onwards), the final published Version of Record will be made freely available to all in perpetuity, and will be published under a creative commons licence, enabling its free re-use and re-distribution. Please note that publication under a fully Open Access agreement is part of the Cambridge Open Option. For more details, please see: http://journals. cambridge.org/action/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4576. Authors are also asked to ensure that any electronic versions of their papers clearly state EESTRSE as the official original place of publication. https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1755691017000020 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

The Royal Society of Edinburgh is committed to the widespread dissemination of scientific knowledge and has published the Transactions of theRoyal Society of Edinburgh since 1785, when James Hutton’s ‘Theory of the Earth’ was published in volume 1. The journal evolved to theTransactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Earth Sciences in 1980 and is now (as from 2007) the Earth and Environmental ScienceTransactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Through this journal, the Society continues to encourage and support the international Earth andEnvironmental Science communities by:
e publishing a journal of international standing and authorship;e publishing substantial papers on all scientific aspects of the Earth and its surface environments;e publishing without page or colour charges;e reproducing photographs and artwork to the highest standard, where appropriate at a size larger than is customary; ande aiming to have papers reviewed within three months by at least two referees of international standing; and usually publishing within six months
of acceptance.
The Editorial Board welcomes original manuscripts in the Earth and Environmental Sciences. It also welcomes proposals for Special Issuesin these areas.
