INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS AND MANUSCRIPT TEMPLATE

Scope of the Journal

Clay Minerals – Journal of Fine Particle Science publishes electronically and in paper form, research papers about clays, clay minerals and related materials, natural or synthetic. Aspects covered include: Earth Processes (interactions in 'system earth' ± soil science, and geology/mineralogy) including genesis/synthesis, phase transformations, stability, weathering, soil-organic interactions, ion-exchange, basin analysis, clay petrology; Solid State Chemistry/Materials Science ± synthesis, structure and dynamics, reactivity, crystal chemistry, mechanical, thermal, electrical properties, micro and nanophase materials; Environmental Science ± analytical methods, elemental distribution, waste containment, health issues, environmental impact assessment, conservation of cultural heritage; Colloid/Surface Science ± adsorption, colloid stability, surface chemistry, reactivity; and Applied Science and Technology ± industrial uses and technical applications, including mining and processing of clay, zeolite (and other) deposits and application in ceramics, paper, paint, polymer, ion-exchange, sorption, catalysis etc.

Languages

Papers must be written in English.

Guidelines re: paper type and length

Research papers of two types are allowed. ‘Full’ papers should normally be no more than about 6000 words of text (approx 24 pages) plus tables and figures. Short papers, where the text is not divided into sections, of up to 1500 words of text plus tables and figures are encouraged when the subject matter is novel or urgent. In both cases, an abstract (full papers – 150 words; short papers – 100 words) is required. If you wish to submit a research paper or review significantly longer than indicated above, please contact the appropriate Editor (see below).

Submission of manuscripts

In a letter accompanying the manuscript, the submitting author must state that all authors agree with the final version of the manuscript. The letter must also state that the manuscript has not previously been published elsewhere, either in full or in part, and that, while under review for Clay Minerals, it will not be submitted to any other publication. Authors are encouraged to suggest up to three possible reviewers for their papers.

Online submission

Authors should submit their papers online at http://www.edmgr.com/clayminerals/

Preparation of manuscripts

Each manuscript (including text, references, tables, figures, captions) must be submitted as a single pdf file and as an identical MS-Word file. Double spacing should be used with margins of 4 cm at the top, sides and foot of each page. Tables, figures, legends and the reference list should be on separate pages.

Figures and tables should be kept to a minimum. Authors should use footnotes to the tables to provide ancillary information rather than adding such text to the title. Figures: (i) Line art should be black on a white background. Lettering should be in Times New Roman or Helvetica and of appropriate size to be legible after size reduction for publication. Italic or bold characters should be avoided. Adjacent grey scales should differ by at least 20% to ensure sufficient contrast. (ii) The standard of all figures must be equivalent to that of a professional draftsman or photographer. Unsatisfactory diagrams will be returned for redrafting and this will result in a delay in publication. (iii) Where it is not possible to submit figures electronically, they should be presented on a high-gloss art paper or board. For an example of carefully produced artwork, please see the paper by Morata et al. (2001) Clay Minerals, 36, 345–354. Figures may be reproduced in colour in the print version of the journal.

Tables

Data should not be repeated from the literature unless they are from “inaccessible” journals and/or are discussed in the text in conjunction with novel data. It might be appropriate for papers on rare or obscure minerals to include a concise summary of available data.

Submission of final manuscripts

MS-Word is the preferred format for the text and tables. Acceptable formats for figures are Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Tiff, Bit Map or Encapsulated Post-script. When exporting to EPS, all objects should be selected and then exported using 'selected only'. Do not submit digital figures embedded in text files.
