期刊名称：QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY ISSN： 0035-9009 版本： SCI-CDE 出版频率： Bimonthly 出版社： ROYAL METEOROLOGICAL SOC, 104 OXFORD ROAD, READING, ENGLAND, RG1 7LJ 期刊网址： http://www.royal-met-soc.org.uk/qjrms.html 影响因子： 2.05(2008) 主题范畴： METEOROLOGY & ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES 期刊简介(About the journal)    投稿须知(Instructions to Authors)    编辑部信息(Editorial Board)    About the journal     The Royal Meteorological Society The Royal Meteorological Society is very willing to answer enquiries about weather and climate. However, requests for weather forecasts or meteorological data should be directed to the British Atmospheric Data Centre, the Met Office, the Climatological Observers Link or to private companies. Note that BADC will give data access to RMS Fellows for bona fide personal research (i.e. non-commercial usage) so long as their application is endorsed by the Society. The Society's collection of books and its archives are kindly cared for by the National Meteorological Library and Archive, Bracknell, but the Society's Honorary Librarian (Eric Harris) and the Chairman of the Society's History Group are willing to answer general enquiries. It contains papers, notes and correspondence by leading meteorologists presenting the results of recent research, in eight editions each year. It is generally accepted as being among the world's leading scientific journals.     Instructions to Authors   If you are asked to referee a paper for the QJ, you will receive a copy of this letter and guidance notes. If you write scientific papers we think you have an obligation to contribute to the peer review process, so do please try to make time to do this important job. However, if you really are too busy to review the paper properly within a reasonable time limit, say 2 or at most 3 months, please suggest an alternative referee and say no. If you do agree to referee a paper, please agree a deadline and stick to it. We need your help to speed up the review process and reduce the time taken from submission of papers to their publication. Paper submissions should be made to QJ@royalmetsoc.org but please read the instructions to authors below first. QJ publishes occasional Special Issues (for example, on the Mesoscale Alpine Project in January Part B 2003). Such Special Issues must be fully self-funding (i.e. there are no free pages) and the Society's resources are such that only one such issue can be in production at any one time. Proposals for Special Issues should be made to the Editors, who can provide information on typical costs, editorial arrangements and time-scales. If you are considering submitting a paper to the QJ, please read the Instructions to authors which can also be found on the inside back cover of any issue. You will maximize the probability of  early acceptance of your paper, and minimize delays in and cost of publication, if you follow these instructions and those following. To be accepted, your paper must be concise, well-written and significantly original. Do follow the advice in Geerts (1999), BAMS, 80, 639-651. All papers should have a Summary, Introduction and Conclusions which should be short. The Summary (not Abstract) should state what you have done and what the main results were; a few lines should suffice (no references). The Introduction should give the motivation of the work, show its relationship to previous work, and say what is original. A complete review of all previous work is not necessary. One page should suffice. The Conclusions should contain just those - no elaborate discussion. The sections in between should focus on describing the method and results, as concisely as possible, avoiding repetition. Try to write for the reader who is meteorologically literate, but not an expert in the topic. Avoid jargon (especially strings of nouns), overly long sentences and unusual words. Have a care for the reader whose first language is not English. If yours is not English, try to get someone whose is to correct the paper before submission. Do use the QJ style for maths. Are all vectors and matrices in bold Roman, all scalars in italic, and all operators Roman? Have you used standard meteorological notation? If yours is a paper on Data Assimilation or a related topic, please follow guidance in Ide et al. (1997) J. Meteorol. Soc. Japan, 75, 181-189. Remove all figures which do not add significant information to the paper. Ensure that those that remain will be legible when reduced in size. On graphs and charts, lines should be distinct and thick enough, labels should be big enough. Avoid using grey. All axes should be labelled with the quantity to be plotted and the units. Remove all titles from above or below figure frames and include (a), (b) inside the frame. These last points are not unbreakable rules, but they do help to save space and usually lead to better looking diagrams. The figure caption is the place to state what is in the figure. Do not duplicate this information in the text, or give unnecessary detail in subsequent figures if they are the same. Do make sure that the captions are complete (include units and contour intervals) and correct, especially if you have changed the figures on revising the paper (check the figure references in the text too). We welcome the use of colour figures, but only if you are prepared to pay for the cost of printing them (?00/page). If you are not, you need to produce a satisfactory alternative now. Conversion of colour to grey scale is not usually good enough. In fact, grey scale is best avoided altogether. Line shading or cross hatching is usually much clearer. Are all references correct and complete, and in the correct style? Check with a recent issue. We use different abbreviations of journal names from those in AMS journals, for example, and additional information is required for books (publisher, city) or articles in books (pp in Title, Eds, publisher, city). Avoid giving references to unpublished material or papers which are not yet accepted, unless they are essential to your paper. Any of the latter must be updated (if in press) or deleted (if still not accepted) at proof stage (ensuring that year of publication is best estimate). Any unpublished reference must be available on request and sufficient information given to enable a reader to get a copy. We encourage authors to use LaTeX to prepare papers. See below for details. This has the advantage of saving time and money at the production stage and it enables authors to estimate the page length. If you cannot use LaTeX, you can print the paper with a font size of 10.7, a page width of 13.5 cm, and a page length of 50 lines (21 cm) to estimate the length of the text. Then add the likely number of pages needed for the figures. If the final length (in proof) exceeds the free page limit (20 pages), you will be charged for the excess length (?10/page). These charges are never waived, so if paying them is going to be a problem, you should shorten the paper now. It will be too late at proof stage. When you are asked to revise your paper, please do so as quickly as you can, whilst properly responding to the referees' concerns. Three months should be long enough. If you exceed 6 months without prior agreement, the revision will be refereed again. When you submit the revised version, please check that you have followed all the advice given above, and also include a detailed description of the revisions you have made to the paper in the light of each of the points raised in the reviews. Failure to respond adequately to reasonable criticism will result in rejection. If a referee has not understood what you have written, so might others. You need to make it clearer. Please do follow this advice, and help us to publish concise, well-written and readable papers, which are making a significant contribution to the science, as soon after submission as possible. Final versions of papers may be submitted as an e-mail attachment or on 3.5" DOS formatted 1.44 Mb disk, typeset in LaTeX using the Quarterly Journal stylefile. Final versions of papers typeset in LaTeX (using the Quarterly Journal class file) may be submitted either as an e-mail attachment or on a 3.5" DOS formatted 1.44 Mb disk or a CD-ROM. The LaTeX-2e class file qjrms2.cls for the Quarterly Journal is available; to use it, simply copy it to your local computer. (You may require the help of your System Manager, as it should be placed in the same directory as other LaTeX class files.) A LaTeX file qjmacros.tex containing some useful macros for use with qjrms2.cls is available. Additional macros are available as part of AMS-TEX (see http://www.ams.org/tex/amstex.html), A help file exists under the name qjread2.pdf (this file is a pdf file so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it). The LaTeX file qjtmplt2.tex can be used as a template.
