Instructions for authors
Manuscript presentation
Manuscripts should be typed double spaced on one side of paper with a wide margin all round with all pages consecutively numbered. Papers should be in English. Either American or English conventions of spelling or grammar are acceptable as long as used consistently throughout except quotations and references. The typescript should follow the conventional form but must include: (a) A title page giving a concise but informative title; short running title for page headings; initial(s) and name(s) of the authors(s); full institutional addresses for all the authors; and the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address of the nominated Corresponding Author. (b) An Abstract (not more than 300 words) describing the main aims, results and conclusions of the work, and 5-10 keywords. The metric system must be used and SI units where appropriate. Unfamiliar abbreviations should be defined when first used.
Authors should include a Conflicts of Interest declaration in their manuscript
• This declaration will be subject to editorial review and may be published in the article
• Conflicts of Interest are situations that could be perceived to exert an undue influence on the content or publication of an author’s work. They may include, but are not limited to, financial, professional, contractual or personal relationships or situations.
• If the manuscript has multiple authors, the author submitting the manuscript must include Conflicts of Interest declarations relevant to all contributing authors.
• Example wording for a Conflicts of Interest declaration is as follows: “Conflicts of Interest: Author A is employed at company B. Author C owns shares in company D, is on the Board of company E and is a member of organisation F. Author G has received grants from company H.” If no Conflicts of Interest exist, the declaration should state “Conflicts of Interest: None”.
Preparation of electronic manuscripts
Files should be prepared in Word. PC files should be named manuscript.doc. Mac files should be prepared as .rtf files and adopt the same sort of file name, manuscript.rtf. Any Maths expressed in Word will be reset.
If authors want to submit LaTeX papers, the IJA LaTeX template (found here) should be used. When submitting LaTex papers send a LaTeX printout, the TeX source file should be named manuscript.tex, figure files should have a figure number in the file name fig1.eps. must be named accordingly to assist the production process (and numbering of figures should continue through any appendices). For example see figures \ref{fig:ka} and \ref{fig:kd}. Failure to follow figure guidelines may result in a request for resupply and a subsequent delay in the production process. Note that all figures are relabelled by the typesetter, so please ensure all figure labels are carefully checked against your originals when you receive your proofs.
Preparation of electronic Tables and Figures
Unless tables are typed with tabs and without the use of the space bar the typesetter will reset these.
Figures should be as small as possible while displaying clearly all the information required, and with all lettering readable. Every effort should be taken to avoid figures that run over more than one page. Figures submitted in colour will appear online in colour. For review purposes figures should be embedded within the manuscript. Upon final acceptance, however, individual figure files will be required for production. These should be submitted in EPS or high-resolution TIFF format (1200 dpi for lines, 300 dpi for halftone and colour in CMYK format, and 600 dpi for a mixture of lines and halftone). The minimum acceptable width of any line is 1px. Each figure should be accompanied by a single caption, to appear beneath, and must be cited in the text. Figures should appear in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text and figure files
References
In the text references should be made using the Harvard system (Author, date), with the full set of references grouped at the end of the paper in alphabetical order. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references. An abbreviated form of Harvard (without titles) can be used by those already familiar with this system.
References must be double-spaced.
Papers should be cited as: Burbidge, E.M., Burbidge, G. R., Fowler, W. A., Hoyle, F. 1957, Synthesis of the Elements in Stars, Rev. Mod. Phys., 29, 547-650
Because the Journal is interdisciplinary, authors are requested not to use highly compact abbreviations for journal titles.
Article titles must be included in the reference list.
Books should be cited as: Prialnik, D. 2000 An Introduction to the Theory of Stellar Structure and Evolution, Cambridge University Press, pp. 132-147.
Unpublished work should normally be referred to in the text in parentheses as, for example, 'private communication' or 'unpub. Ph.D. thesis, Univ. London, 1988', and not included in the reference list unless in the press.
Electronic Publication
Accepted papers will be published electronically at http://journals.cambridge.org/ija.
Proofreading
First proofs may be read and corrected by contributors provided that they can guarantee to return the corrected proofs within four days of receipt. Typographical or factual errors only may be changed at proof stage. The publisher reserves the right to charge authors for correction of non-typographical errors.
Copyright
The policy of the International Journal of Astrobiology is that authors (or in some cases their employers) retain copyright and grant Cambridge University Press a licence to publish their work. In the case of gold open access articles this is a non-exclusive licence. Authors must complete and return an author publishing agreement form as soon as their article has been accepted for publication; the journal is unable to publish without this. Please download the appropriate publishing agreement here.
For open access articles, the form also sets out the Creative Commons licence under which the article is made available to end users: a fundamental principle of open access is that content should not simply be accessible but should also be freely re-usable. Articles will be published under a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY) by default. This means that the article is freely available to read, copy and redistribute, and can also be adapted (users can “remix, transform, and build upon” the work) for any commercial or non-commercial purpose, as long as proper attribution is given. Authors can, in the publishing agreement form, choose a different kind of Creative Commons license (including those prohibiting non-commercial and derivative use) if they prefer.
