Instructions to Authors
Editorial Policy
Quaternary Research is devoted to interdisciplinary articles dealing with the Quaternary Period. Editorial policy requires that articles must be of broad interest, be of basic significance to more than one discipline, and constitute a significant contribution to knowledge. Suitable contributions include previously unpublished research results and comprehensive reviews or syntheses of a field of knowledge.
Four categories of manuscripts will be considered for publication. Articles should not exceed 5000 words, or approximately 20 double-spaced typewritten pages, including tables and references. Exceptions to this rule are rarely made. Short Papers should not exceed 1500 words and should include no more than two figures; such contributions will normally be published more rapidly than full-length articles. Letters to the Editor will also be considered. If the letter deals with a paper previously published in Quaternary Research, the author(s) of that paper will be given the opportunity to draft a reply. Normally, both the Letter to the Editor and the Reply will be published in the same issue. Book Reviews will be published only if they are solicited by the Book Review Editor and only after critical review by the Editors. Manuscripts submitted to Quaternary Research that do not meet the length requirements of the journal will be returned to the author(s) for appropriate revision.
All manuscripts will be reviewed by at least two referees. Articles and Short Papers are evaluated for whether they are interdisciplinary in content and of broad interdisciplinary interest, are scientifically sound, and present evidence that is sufficient to support the conclusions. They are also evaluated for organization, clarity, and conciseness. The Editors' decision is sent to the author(s) together with the referees' comments and evaluations as soon as the file is complete.
Three copies of the manuscript, including legible copies of all figures, should be submitted to:
Quaternary Research Editorial Office
Quaternary Research Center
Box 351360
University of Washington
Seattle, WA 98195-1360, USA
Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work or closely similar work has not been published; that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; that submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and, if required, by the institution where the work was carried out; and that any person cited as a source of a personal communication has approved such citation. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion. Articles and any other material published in Quaternary Research represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editor(s) and the Publisher.
Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the University of Washington. The Copyright Transfer Agreement should be signed by the appropriate person(s). The University will not refuse any reasonable request by the author(s) for permission to reproduce any contributions to the journal.
If material from other copyrighted works is included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. The Publisher has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact Elsevier Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com.
Instructions to Authors
Electronic Transmission of Accepted Manuscripts. Authors are requested to transmit the text and art of the manuscript in electronic form, via computer disk, e-mail, or FTP (ftp.elsevier.com, with username anon and password essd4acc), after all revisions have been incorporated and the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Submission as an e-mail attachment is acceptable provided that all files are included in a single archive the size of which does not exceed 2 megabytes (qr@elsevier.com). Hard-copy printouts of the manuscript and art must also be supplied. The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and authors must read the proofs carefully.
General Instructions. Manuscripts should be written in clear and concise English and should conform to the general style of the journal and the specific instructions listed below. Manuscripts that are not so prepared will be returned to the authors, since it is not feasible for the Editors to revise or rewrite manuscripts. Contributors, particularly those unfamiliar with English usage, are asked to seek the help of colleagues in the preparation and review of manuscripts prior to submission. This practice reduces the time required for review and avoids delays in publication.
Preparation of Manuscript. Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout on one side of 8.5 x 11-inch or A4 white paper. Pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:
The Title Page (p. 1) should contain the article title, authors' names (given names, rather than initials, are requested) and complete affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers). The title should be concise, informative, and suitable for indexing. Titles using colons or semicolons should be avoided. When appropriate, the geographic area of the research should appear as part of the title.
The Abstract (p. 2) must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in less than 200 words. In the case of Short Papers, the abstract should not exceed 100 words. Phrases such as ''are described'' or ''are discussed'' should be avoided (see Landes, K.K., 1951. A scrutiny of the abstract. American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin 35, 1960). Translations of the abstract in one or more other languages may be included at the discretion of the Editor. After the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
Headings. Manuscripts should be divided by appropriate unnumbered headings. If possible, no more than three orders of headings should be used. Headings are not required in Short Papers or Book Reviews.
Dates. Historical dates should be expressed as years B.C. or A.D. (e.g., A.D. 1850; 2030 B.C.). Dates less than 1 million years old should be given in full, using the abbreviation yr for years (e.g., 150,000 10,000 yr); the abbreviations ka, kyr, and kyrs should be avoided. Dates of a million years or more may be expressed in myr (not ma or myrs) (e.g., 2.43 0.2 myr).
Radiocarbon dates, calculated according to the guidelines given in Stuiver and Polach (1977, Radiocarbon 19, 355-363) or the CALIB program of Stuiver and Reimger (1993, Radiocarbon 35, 215-230), should be expressed as 14C yr B.P. (before present). The standard error, as well as laboratory number, should be included [e.g., 14,730 150 yr B.P. (Y-661)]. Radiocarbon dates with a standard error between 50 and 1000 yr, or greater than 1000 yr, should be rounded, respectively, to the nearest 10 and 100 yr. High-precision dates with a standard error less than 50 yr should be rounded to the nearest yr. Calibrated (cal) age(s), and cal age range(s), should be reported as cal yr (e.g., 2450 cal yr B.P., 500 cal yr B.C., range 560-480 cal yr B.C.). Rounding similar to that for radiocarbon ages applies. In citing calibrated ages, always report the radiocarbon age plus standard error, and reference the calibration curve (or computer program) used for the derivation of the cal age.
K/Ar dates should also include the standard error. If laboratory numbers have been assigned, they should be given in parentheses following the date [e.g., 2.43 0.10 myr (QLK-10)].
Chemical notation. International notation should be employed in all cases (e.g., 18O, 14C, 40K).
Temperature notation. Temperatures should be expressed in degrees Celsius ( C), with Fahrenheit equivalents in parentheses if originally reported in such units [e.g., 67 C; 20 C (68 F)].
Statistical results. Probability values must be provided for the results of all statistical tests [e.g., not "r2 = 0.94" but "r2 = 0.94 (p < 0.01n)"].
Stratigraphic nomenclature. Stratigraphic nomenclature should follow standard practice and procedures as detailed in the 1983 North American Stratigraphic Code (American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin 67, 841-875) and the 1976 International Stratigraphic Guide [International Subcommission on Stratigraphic Classification (H. D. Hedberg, Ed.), Wiley, New York]. Authors dealing with stratigraphic nomenclature of archaeological sites are referred to the Guide to Archaeostratigraphic Classification and Terminology (Gasche, H., Tunca, O., 1983. Journal of Field Archaeology 10, 325-335).
Glacial-geologic and geologic-climate nomenclature. When referring to glacial/interglacial ages, grammatically appropriate noun and adjective forms should be used [e.g., the W黵m Glaciation (not W黵m Glacial), the last glaciation (not last glacial), the W黵m glacial age and last interglacial age (where glacial and interglacial are used as modifying adjectives); comparable noun and adjective forms should be used for stadial/interstadial subages (e.g., the Younger Dryas Stade, Aller鴇 Interstade, Younger Dryas stadial deposits)]. Formally defined stratigraphic names should be capitalized (e.g., Illinoian Glaciation) but informal names should not (e.g., last glacial maximum, late-glacial).
Biological names. Scientific names of plants and animals must be underlined or italicized. Common names of species or plants and animals may be used only if they are accompanied by scientific names upon first usage (e.g., "quaking aspen, Populus tremuloides").
Citations. All illustrations and tables should be cited somewhere in the body of the paper and in sequence [e.g., "... as illustrated in Figure 5"; "...in that region (Fig. 5)"; "...in Alaska and California (Figs. 4 and 5)"; "The values in Table 6 are taken from ..."; "the date obtained in this study (Table 6)."].
Acknowledgments should be brief and should precede the references.
References should be cited in the text by the author's surname and date. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text, and should include the surname and initials of the source as well as the year of communication, e.g., (Smith, L.G., personal communication, 1992).
The reference section should be arranged alphabetically according to the author's surname.

Figures should be in a finished form suitable for publication. Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals, and indicate the top and the authors on the back of each figure. Figure legends should be typed on a separate sheet. Lettering on drawings should be professional quality or generated by high-resolution computer graphics and must be large enough to withstand appropriate reduction for publication. All maps should have longitude and latitude coordinates indicated, as well as a bar scale in metric units. High-quality glossy prints, not exceeding 22 x 28 cm (8.5 x 11 in.), are required for photographs. Color Figures. Color plates or foldout illustrations can be accepted only if the authors defray the production and printing costs. Mounted color figures must be submitted on paper or flexible board due to the nature of the reproduction process. Cost estimates will be furnished on request.
Cover photographs. Each cover of Quaternary Research displays a color photograph pertaining to a Quaternary topic. Cover photographs should represent various disciplines and geographic areas and may include close-up, landscape, aerial, and satellite images. Most relate to articles in the journal. Authors are invited to submit one or more color photographs for consideration. These should be of very high quality (correctly exposed, very sharp focus) and suitable for cropping to the dimensions of the photograph on the cover of the issue. Photographs should not include identifiable persons. Possible cover photographs can be submitted in a variety of ways: Color slides and color prints at any size are acceptable. Digital files are encouraged. They may be submitted on 3.5-in. floppy disks, CD-ROMs, Zip disks, SyQuest disks, and Jaz disks or they may be submitted by FTP. Digital files must be submitted in TIFF or EPS format. Digital images must use the CMYK color model, be submitted at least 300 dpi, and be a minimum size of 6.5 x 6.5 in. Images smaller than this size do not reproduce well when enlarged and will not be accepted for consideration as cover art. Photographs related to a specific article should be submitted only after word of acceptance of a manuscript has been received. Every effort will be made to return original slides, negatives, or prints after use. A brief, informative caption (up to 75 words) should be submitted with each photograph. The name of the photographer should be indicated when appropriate, and written permission to use the image for publication should be supplied.
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title typed directly above and with essential footnotes below. Vertical lines and boxed text should be avoided (see recent issues of the journal for acceptable examples). Units should be clearly indicated for each of the column entries in a table. Authors should submit complex tables as camera-ready copy.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. It is the responsibility of the authors to read the proofs carefully and to note all errors. To avoid delay in publication, only necessary changes should be made and proofs should be returned promptly. Authors will be charged for alterations that exceed 10% of the total cost of composition.
