About the journal
The Journal of Micropalaeontology is well-established as an international publication with a circulation approaching 900 copies covering all aspects of microfossils and their application both in applied studies and basic research.
The scope of the journal has always been broad, especially to show the application of microfossils to solving geological problems, but with an emphasis on taxonomy. The principal fields of interest are: biostratigraphy; evolution; palaeobiology; palaeoenvironments; reviews; taxonomic studies.The emphasis will be on applications. Our aim is to attract high quality papers that will prove to be influential in the development of our science.
To further disseminate the information the journal is abstracted in GeoArchive, GeoRef, Geobase, Geological Abstracts, CABS, Science Citation Index and Current Contents.
Instructions to Authors
Preparation and submission of manuscripts: In the first instance, manuscripts should be sent to Ms J. Cooke, Production editor, Geological Society Publishing House, Unit 7, Brassmill Enterprise Centre, Brassmill Lane, Bath BA1 3JN. Any editorial correspondence should be sent to the Editor. Papers are accepted on the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere and authors (except those in Governmental employment) are required to assign copyright to the British Micropalaeontological Society. The Journal of Micropalaeontology is set from disc and authors should consult the ` electronic text preparation' notes which are available from the Editor or the Production editor or can be found in volume 13, p. 2 of the journal.
Referees are appointed to assess the papers, and the author will be informed of the decisions reached. Correspondence in multi-authored works will be with the first-named author, unless otherwise arranged. Proofs will be sent directly to the author, who must read and correct them, returning them to the Editor. Prompt attention to proofs is essential to avoid delay of publication of the issue.Papers on all aspects of micropalaeontology are accepted, the principal fields of interest are listed on the cover of the journal. Articles submitted should not exceed 8000 words in length, including references. There are c. 1000 words on a printed page. It is advisable to consult the Editor if a longer article is to be submitted. Three copies of the script and three sets of the figures should be submitted to the Production editor, who will acknowledge receipt. The typescript should be accurate and in its final form because corrections at proof stage are costly. The Editor reserves the right to charge authors the full cost of corrections resulting from afterthoughts and additions at proof stage.Terminology: It may be helpful for intending authors to consult the Royal Society booklet, General Notes on the Preparation of Scientific Papers (revised edn, 1974). Authors are also advised that measurements should be given in SI units, using the conventions recommended in the Royal Society booklet, Quantities, Units and Symbols (1975). Standard palaeontological and stratigraphical conventions should be followed in the text; authors are advised to consult Whittaker et al. (1991) A Guide to Stratigraphical Procedure (Geological Society, London, Special Report No. 20) and recent copies of the Journal. Any localities referred to in the text should be precisely located by their Grid Reference or, for areas outside the British Isles, by latitude and longitude on an index map.Layout: Typescripts should be double-spaced, including references, on one side only of A4 paper, with 25mm margins on either side. All pages should carry the author(s) name(s) and be numbered consecutively. Typescripts should be arranged as follows:
Title page: brief, informative title (when a systematic name is included, include the name of the group, e.g. Loxoconcha (Ostracoda, Crustacea)); short title (50 characters max.); name(s) of author(s) and full postal address(es) where work was carried out.
Abstract: not more than 200 words
Text: as concise as possible, subdivided by suitable headings. There are 3 orders of headings - A-heads are bold, upper case; B-heads are bold, lower case; C-heads as B, but text runs on.

(Pl. 1, figs 1–6; Pl. 2, fig. 3)
Authors are requested not to use the tab, indent or centring facility on the word-processor for these systematic sections when submitting the revised manuscript and disc. The necessary layout will be added by the typesetter.
Synonymies should appear in the following abbreviated form:
1959 Loxoconcha lapidiscola Hartmann: 223, pl.41, figs 128, 129, pl.42, figs 131–133.
1974 Loxoconcha ?lapidiscola Hartmann; Swain & Gilby: 324, fig. 24, pl.5, fig. 9a,b.
Where relevant, the following order of C-level subheadings should be adopted: Derivation of name. Diagnosis. Holotype. Material. Locality and horizon. Description. Dimensions. Remarks.References: List all references cited. Within the text, the citation should be name and date, e.g. (Smith, 1992), with an ampersand (&) if there are 2 authors. With references of 3 or more authors, the citation should appear as first-named author et al. If there is more than one reference listed at one point in the text, these should be ordered chronologically, separated by a semi-colon. In the reference list at the end of the paper, all authors of all references should be listed, up to a maximum of 7. In references of 8 or more authors, please list the first 3 et al. Within the reference list order all references alphabetically by first author name. For single- and two-author references, list them alphabetically and then chronologically. With refs of 3 or more authors, list these chronologically rather than alphabetically by second, third author. References should be given as fully as possible, with no abbreviations of journal titles. Please include page extent for book references. See recent issues of the Journal for further reference style. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references.Illustrations (general): Photographs can be submitted as plates (see below) or as text-figures. Line drawings are always numbered as text-figures and should be suitable for reduction to either single (85mm) or double (178mm) column width, with a minimum cap height of labelling of 2mm (after reduction). The maximum size of text-figures, after reduction, will be 210 x 178 mm. Indicate the suggested size for reproduction and the correct orientation. Avoid fine stippling. If necessary, figures should carry a metric scale at the bottom of the figure, in preference to a reduction factor in the caption. Authors proposing to include coloured figures are advised to consult the Editor; these are very expensive to produce and authors may be asked to bear the costs.
Three copies of the original photographs and three sets of photocopies of line figures should be sent in with the submission of the typescript. Authors should retain their original line figures until the manuscript is accepted for publication. Once your manuscript has been accepted, please supply text and figures (if available as electronic images) on disc along with good quality hard copy. Acceptable media are floppy discs, Iomega Zip 100 discs, CDs or the figs may be emailed to an FTP site (contact Jo Cooke for details).Artwork and discs are returned to the author after publication, only if requested. Illustrated material should normally be deposited in a museum or other national repository and the catalogue numbers quoted in the paper.Computer-generated line illustrations (including colour illustrations): should be supplied on disc in a platform-independent format, preferably EPS. Aldus Freehand, Adobe Illustrator and Coreldraw files are also acceptable and should be included on the disc in addition to the EPS files. For EPS format, the graphics files should be saved with all fonts and logos embedded as part of the file or with the option ‘text saved as curves’. If EPS files are not an option, we can accept high resolution (1000 dpi) bit map TIFFs (or JPEG, GIF). Please note that fine shading will not reproduce well – when scanned, interference patterns and dropouts often occur. If possible use standard PS patterns instead of shades or tints. If dot screens cannot be avoided use large dots with visible white space in between them. Ensure that fine lines are saved as actual line widths of at least 0.5 pt, and not as defaults such as hairline, minimum width etc. Such defaults will print at the minimum line weight for the output device. On a laser printer it is usually 0.5 pt, but on a high-resolution output device such as a filmsetter anything less could be too fine to show up in print. Colour must be saved as CMYK
(not RGB). Do not include any labelling that duplicates the caption, any logos, company diagram numbers or other extraneous matter. Figure captions should be provided as a separate list, not incorporated into the figure file. Please accompany discs with a list of figs
and file names, indicating what graphics package has been used and send good quality hard copy in case we have to scan (see disc form to photocopy below).Plates: Plates should be sized to fit an area of 210 x 160 mm. To be acceptable as a plate, photographs need to be clear contrast, black-and-white prints of the highest quality. They may be cut as rectangles on white board, or individual specimens may be cut around, in which case a plain or glossy white background should be used. All photographs should be numbered from top left to bottom right Plate explanations should be fully informative, giving reg. nos of specimens, locality, magnification, etc. If the photo is already a digitized image, we can accept the figure as a TIFF or EPS file. If the former, please ensure you save as a greyscale TIFF of at least 300 dpi. However, in general, please don’t scan the photos yourself in order to supply as an electronic file – we can probably get better results by scanning at a higher resolution when we print.Offprints: 50 offprints of each paper are supplied free of charge; no further copies can be purchased.
