About the journal
Scope of the journal : Geologica Belgica is a Belgian journal that welcomes papers concerning all aspects of the earth sciences, with a particular emphasis on the regional geology of Belgium and central Africa. Submitted papers should be concise, presenting material not previously published. The journal encourages the publication of articles from Belgian junior authors. Short letters are accepted. Papers written in English are preferred, but papers in French, Dutch and German are also accepted. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.

Instructions to authors
1. First order headings (in bold)
Do not imitate the layout of the journal, but the layout of these instructions only. Use the same font and the same STYLE (normal) throughout the manuscript. Align only flush left. Do not leave a free line to separate the paragraphs, but DO indent the first line of a new paragraph, except for the first paragraph of a section. Keep your original artworks and diskette until your manuscript has been accepted. The three copies of the manuscript to be reviewed should be double spaced and the size of the characters at least 12.
Numerical system is requested: 1., 1.1., 1.1.1., 1.1.2., 1.2., 1.3., etc. but do NOT use "numbering" or "bullets".
Footnotes are not accepted in the text. If notes are absolutely necessary, they should be grouped in a section before the references and numbered from (1) to (x) both in the text and in the section.
1.1. Second order headings (in bold and italics)
1.1.1. Third order headings (normal)
Besides the 3rd order headings, use:
a) ...
b) ...
c) ...
2. Cross references
In the text, cross references are as follows:
a) to reference list, citations are as follows: write "the results of Lebeau (1982) are questionable (Dupont, 1973a, 1973b; Dupont & Durand, 1975)"; if more than two authors (Dupont et al., 1978a); for comparison (see Servais, 1994; cf. Servais, 1993; e.g. Servais, 1990, fig. 3).
b) to other sections of the text, write "(see 2.3.1)", but not "(see p.8)".
c) to artworks write "as represented in Fig. 7, Table 2 and elsewhere (Fig. 1; Fig. 2B; Fig. 2A-B; Figs 2 & 3D; Table 4; Pl. 1A)".
3. Measurements
Measurements are written: 1 to 9999 (no comma); from 10,000 (comma); 2.1 mm; 5 碌m; 6.84 kg; 27%; 25,000 a BP (conventional 14C age); 17,000 a cal BP (calibrated 14C age); 60 ka (thousand years) for non 14C-ages; 5.2 Ma.
4. Compass points
The four basic nouns are written in full; they are capitalized only when designating the compass point: the North, the East, the South, the West (but: south Belgium, west Netherlands). Complex nouns are abbreviated and capitalized: NE, NW-SE, NNE-SSW,... Adjectives are not capitalized: southern regions,...
5. Stratigraphy
Adhere to the international rules for stratigraphic nomenclature. Capitalize a common noun or adjective that is part of a formal name: Matagne Shales, Diest Formation, Brabant Massif, Middle Ordovician, Lower Cretaceous,... Informal designations are not capitalized: upper Paleozoic, late Cenomanian,...
6. Palaeontology
Adhere to the international codes for botanical or zoological nomenclature. Systematic work is always introduced by the 1st order heading "Systematic Paleontology".
For taxonomic papers, the following layout is adopted:
-Sub-order...
-Superfamily:...
-Family Loxochoncidae Sars, 1925
-Genus Touroconcha Ishizaki & Gunther, 1976; Touroconcha lapidiscola (Hartmann, 1959) (Pl. 1, Figs 1-6; Pl. 2, Fig. 3)

8. Submission
Three copies should be submitted to the editor together with the address of the corresponding author (fax, e-mail). Original artworks are not necessary for the submission of the manuscript.
An electronic version (in pdf format) of the manuscript (text+figures+tables+ etc.) can be sent by e-mail to the editor (jc.duchesne@ulg.ac.be)
The authors are requested to give the names and addresses of four possible unbiased reviewers, at least one of them being chosen outside Belgium.
9. Final version
The final version consists of an electronic version, a copy of the manuscript, and original artworks.
9.1. Disk
The requested software is Word. Use the TIMES 12 throughout the text including titles.
Align title, headings and text flush left. Do not indent the first line of the first paragraph of each section, but indent the first line of the next paragraphs (see Terra Nova); do not align right and do not center.
Use the same file for text, references and artwork captions; these should not be included in the text or merged with the figures, be put together at the end of the manuscript and presented as follows:
Figure 1. Caption
Table 1. Title...
Plate 1. Title...
9.2. Printed version
9.2.1. Text
Authors are requested to ensure that the contents of the diskette correspond exactly to the contents of the hard copy manuscripts. Please remove any "field codes" from the text. Indicate in the margin (handwriting) of the printed text the desired position of figures and tables.
9.2.2. Original artworks
No original artwork should be larger than a page (16.5 x 22.5 cm) or a column (7.8 x 22.5 cm). No lettering should be smaller than 1 mm at journal format. Artworks are executed neatly in black China ink or equivalent quality (e.g. laser printer); do not use heavy plots; avoid grey-tones. Figures in colour are accepted, but the authors should also provide a black-and-white copy. A reduction at publication size must be provided for each artwork to demonstrate legibility and to permit scanning if needed. Xerox copies are accepted on glossy paper. Please save space as much as possible. Do not include any part of the caption (such as Fig.1) in the graph.
Electronic figures should be in cdr (Corell Draw), ai (Adobe Illustrator), eps or pdf format. All elements of a figure must be "grouped" before saving. No graphics in EXCEL format will be accepted. Please try to use the same format for all figures.
a) Figures
Numbering is in arabic characters. Each part of a multiple figure is lettered A, B, C,... from top left to bottom right. Single photographs within the text are considered as figures and numbered as such. Scale bar and North arrow are present on maps. English translation is needed.
b) Tables
Tables are prepared camera ready (see above), or in excel format (please cut the links with other tables and background colours).
c) Plate
Photographs (at least 600 d.p.i.) assembled to occupy a full page are considered as a plate that is placed at the end of the manuscript. Plates constitute a distinct series numbered in arabic characters, from 1 to x, separate from the figure and table series.
Within a plate, individual photographs should be lettered A, B, C,... (capitalized) from top left to bottom right. These characters are about 3 mm high after reduction. Bear in mind that a plate is necessarily reproduced within the frame 17x22.5 cm. If the original plate is larger than 17x22.5, then put a scale bar in the plate.
9.2.3. Running title (top of each page)
In case the title of the paper is longer than one printed line, the authors should provide an abbreviated title.
10. Proof
The author will receive by e-mail proofs in pdf. No author correction will be allowed except in exceptional cases.
11. References
The journal names should be written in full. Follow scrupulously the following example.
