About JCUG: aims and scope
Journal of China University of Geosciences (ISSN 1002-0705
CN42-5070/P) is a geological magazine
published quarterly in English by this university.
The journal is designed for the dissemination of information on all
branches of geology and associated technology in the exploration and
utilization of earth resources. Articles from both domestic and
international scientists on relevant subjects are welcome. All articles
are reviewed by two or more referees for scholarly presentation,
technical merit, quality of scientific content and utility of the
results for practicing geologists. The Editorial
Committee reserves the final decision concerning the acceptance of
a paper.
The scope of articles includes new theories, methods and
discoveries, as well as recent achievements in geosciences and timely
reviews on selected subjects. Articles should contain original data and
facts which support the conclusions. Manuscripts should conform to the
format guidelines set out below.
Manuscripts
Manuscripts are to be printed in English and double spaced, on
one side of A4 paper. The original and two copies of the manuscript
together with the originals and two sets of copies of the figures
should be submitted for review purposes. Papers are not to exceed 8000
words nor to contain more than 7 figures and tables. Large figures and
tables should be avoided, and their width should generally be either
8cm, 16.5cm or 24cm. Each illustration should be clearly drawn and
lettered.
SI units should be used.
State secrets are not to be released. Permission must be
obtained for the use of copyrighted or previously published material.
Authors take full responsibility for their papers.
We accept only unpublished, original papers, and claim first
right of publication. Papers unsuitable for JCUG will be returned
promptly.
Manuscripts should be organised in the following order: (a)
Title; (b) Name(s) and affiliation(s) of Author(s); (c) Abstract (no
more than 200 words) and key words (no more than 8); (d) Introduction;
(e) Methods, techniques, studied material and area descriptions; (f)
Results; (g) Discussion; (h) Conclusions; (i) Acknowledgments; (j)
Explanation of plates; (k) References cited; (l) Tables; (m) Figure

Headings
The following sequence should be used:

the reference list.
If reference is made in the text to publications written by
more than two authors the name of the first author should be given,
followed by "et al.". In the list of references, the names of the first
three co-authors should be given, followed by "et al.". References
should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names and chronologically
per author.
The following system should be used for arranging references.

Chough S K, Barg E, 1987. Tectonic History of Ulleung
Basin Margin, East Sea (Sea of Japan). Geology, 15(1): 45-58
2. For books:

Inland and Marginal Seas. Tectonophysics, 10: 495-513
Periodical names should be given in full or abbreviated using the
International List of Periodical Title Word Abbreviations. In addition,
in referring to a personal communication the two words are followed by
the year, e.g. (MeNary J., personal communication, 1968).

possible. If references are given in footnotes, full bibliographic data
must be given in the list of references, not in the footnote.
All manuscripts should be governed by the above information. Otherwise,
publication of articles can be seriously delayed because of corrections.
