Guide for Authors Updated 10/2011
Language Journal of Iberian Geology only publishes papers in English. Title, abstract and figure captions must however be written in both English and Spanish. If necessary, the Editorial Board may help, under request, English-speaking authors in preparing their title, abstract, and captions in Spanish.
Preparation of the text a) The manuscript should be prepared on a word processor and printed with double spacing and wide margins. b) All the text, including title, authors names, abstract, key words, main text, tables, references and figure captions should be typewritten in lower case of a Times-type font. Italic and bold style fonts should be used according to the layout norms described below. Never use CAPITALS nor small caps. c) Arial or Helvetic fonts are recommended for figures. d) Authors should use IUGS terminology. The use of S.I. units is also recommended.
Title and authors a) Title in Spanish and English. b) The title page should include the name(s) of the author(s), and their affiliations and e-mail addresses. Use lower case for name of the author(s): R. Zabaleta1, J. Smith1, H. Pino-Alvárez2. Use numbers to refer the affiliation if authors have different ones. c) The first author is assumed to be also the corresponding author. If it is not the case, the corresponding author should be marked with an asterisc.
Abstract a) In English and Spanish. b) It should be brief and informative, preferably of not more than 300 words.
Keywords a) Authors should provide 4 to 6 keywords in both English and Spanish. These should be placed beneath the corresponding abstract. b) Use the following layout: Keywords: Foraminifera, Iberian Ranges, Triassic, Spain.
Main text a) Authors may organize the text in their own way (but remembering that usual standard organizations include: introduction, methods, techniques, studied material, results, discussion and conclusions). b) Layout of the heading of the different sections should be as follows: Level 1 (main sections): Use bold and a number (e.g., 1. Introduction) Level 2: Use italic with a number (e.g., 1.2. Geology) Level 3: Use only italics (e.g., Facies and environments) c) References in the main text and figure captions should be given according to the following examples: -Single author papers: Torneiro (1999) or (Torneiro, 1999) -Papers of two authors: Smith and Rey (2000) or (Smith and Rey, 2000) -Papers of three or more authors: Day et al. (1987) or (Day et al., 1987) -Multiple references: (Gala et al., 1999; Allen et al., 1989; Pina, 1988; 1989) -Do not use the ampersand “&”. d) The word “figure” should not be shortened to Fig. in the text except if it is in parentheses.
References References cited in the text should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper, as in the following examples: journal papers (1), monographs (2), papers in edited volumes (3), conference proceedings papers (4), and maps (5). Any reference should include the DOI® (Digital Object Identifier) when available.

Tables a) Tables should be compiled on separate sheets and should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. b) Authors should take note of the limitations set by the size and layout of the journal. A table should not exceed the printed area of the page. c) Column headings in tables should be brief, with units of measurements in parentheses. d) Tables should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text must include references to all tables. e) Each table must have a brief and self-explanatory title (in English and Spanish).
Illustrations a) Drawings, photographs and plates are classified as figures and should be numbered consecutively. They must be designed with the page format of the journal in mind. They should fit in the page dimensions and should be sent in the desired final size. The editorial board can not always guarantee that the suggested size will be the final one. b) Lettering must be drafted sharply and neatly. The same type of lettering should be used throughout. Arial- or Helvetica-type fonts are recommended. c) Graphic scales must be used rather than magnification factors to allow for possible reduction. d) All maps must have north and latitude and longitude indicated. e) Journal of Iberian Geology admits colour illustrations, but these will be accepted only when absolutely necessary. Please, contact the editors in case you want to include colour figures. f) Each illustration must have a brief, informative, caption. Prepare all the figure captions (in both English and Spanish) in a separate sheet. The layout of the captions is as in the following example: Fig. 2.- The chronostratigraphic... g) The approximate position of each illustration should be indicated in the margin of the main text. h) Figures must be referred to in all cases, even in papers with a single figure.
Submission of manuscript a) A printed copy of the manuscript should be sent to Journal of Iberian Geology, Dpto. Estratigrafía, Facultad CC. Geológicas, Universidad Complutense, 28040 Madrid (Spain). This copy should be acompained by CD with the electronic files of text, tables and figures. This CD should be readable by a PC (i.e., DOS formatted). b) Alternatively, an electronic version of the paper can be submitted by e-mail to jig@geo.ucm.es. c) If the work is a contribution to a monographic volume, the manuscript and all the correspondence should be addressed to the guest editors. d) Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. e) Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two independent referees. f) Authors should submit the final, accepted text and figures in separate files via e-mail (cuadernos@geo.ucm.es) or in a CD. Also essential is to include a RTF (rich text format) version of the text and tables and a TIFF version of figures and photographs. JPG, EPS, and PDF files are also acceptable for figures. g) PDF-proofs of each paper will be sent by e-mail to the first author. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors. Any queries should be answered in full. Authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before return, since the inclusion of late corrections cannot be guaranteed.
Commercial rights and copyright a) The commercial rights of the printed and online versions of Journal of Iberian Geology are property of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), and the journal must be cited for any partial or full reproduction. b) The authors retain the copyright on their respective papers and are authorized to post them on their own Web page or in their institutional repository. In all cases, the complete citation and a link to the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the article must be included. The authors can use excerpts or reproduce illustrations of their respective papers in other works without prior permission of Journal of Iberian Geology provided there is full acknowledgement of its original source including the complete citation. c) The opinions and conclusions stated in each article are the exclusive responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the UCM and CSIC. d) Submission of a manuscript for publication implies the implicit acceptance of these terms.
