Acta Geologica Polonica publishes original papers on all aspects
of geology. These papers must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, in entirety or in
part. The articles should be of moderate length (up to 80 manuscript pages). Longer manuscripts may be accepted
but authors should consult the editor before submitting these.
Submission should be addressed to:
Editors, Acta Geologica Polonica
Institute of Geology, University of Warsaw,
Al. Zwirki i Wigury 93, PL-02-089 Warszawa, Poland,
E-mail address: agp@uw.edu.pl
Two copies of the manuscript and all illustrations
should be submitted together with a covering letter confirming
the originality of the paper. The electronic version of the whole manuscript,
best as pdf file, on CD/DVD-ROM disc should be included.
The manuscript may be submitted in electronic version (sent
at the Journal e-mail address: agp@geo.uw.edu.pl) as World file, with figures
and tables included in the same document or, preferably, as pdf file.
Manuscripts are reviewed by two referees and
are not precessed further until receipt of favorable referees'
reports .
Authors receive one set of proofs (together with the
manuscript) from the publisher. The corrected proofs should be
sent back to the Editor. If the author(s) requests significant
revision at this stage (more than 5% of the text), then a
financial contribution to the costs of publication will be
required. The author(s) will receive 50 off-prints free of charge.
Additional off-prints may be purchased and the off-print order
form (sent by the publisher together with the proofs) should be
returned with the corrected proofs.
All papers are published in English.
Text: The manuscript should
be written concisely in clear language. The text should be
double-spaced, typed in 12 points for size. Captions to text-figures
and plates should be written
separately at the end of the manuscript. The text should be typed
in normal letters. In all citations and synonymy lists, the numbers of
figures and plates, if originally given in Roman numerals, should
be changed into Arabic numerals. Literature references in the text,
when given in parentheses, should give the author's surname
followed by the year of publication with no comma in between. Use
'and' for two authors and 'et al.' for more than
two authors. The Systeme Internationale (SI) should be used for
all units of measurement.
The title page should include:
i. title
ii. first name(s) and surname(s) of author(s)
iii. affiliations and address(es) of authors [include e-mail
addresses]
iv. abstract
v. key words
Abstracts should be concisely
written and should not exceed 200 words.
References should include
only papers cited in the text and should correspond to the
following examples:

Synonymies should be
ordered as follows:

Illustrations: All
illustrations (excluding plates) should be numbered in the
sequence of their first reference in the text and are labelled as
Text-figures (abbreviated Text-fig.). Insertion points for
illustrations and plates should be marked in the left-hand margin
of the manuscript. Drawings and photographic prints must
be of good contrast. Including the legend, they should either
match the size of a full page (160 × 220 mm), the width of a
double column (160 mm), the width of a single column (75 mm), or
they must be suitable for reduction to these dimensions. Colour illustrations
are acceptable but authors must
contact the Editor before submitting the manuscript.
Plates: Photographic
illustrations may be arranged into a full-page format (160 × 223
mm) and are numbered separately (with Arabic numerals) as Plates (abbreviated
Pl.). Photographs in one plate are numbered consecutively from
left to right and from top to bottom, and each is referred to as a
Figure (e.g. Pl. 1, Fig. 2 or Pl. 3, Figs 4, 5-8). The plates must
match the size of the full page (160 × 223 mm) or should be
suitable for reduction to these dimensions. Colour plates are
acceptable without any extra charges
but authors must contact the Editor before submitting the
manuscript.
