Submit your manuscript
Thank you very much for your interest in submitting a manuscript. Please find your way through the manuscript preparation and file submission:
Get ready
Before submitting your manuscript for peer review, you are kindly requested to do the following:
to download the Copernicus manuscript templates for LaTeX or MS WORD, or to follow the instructions for R Markdown submissions;
to prepare your manuscript *.pdf file according to the manuscript preparation guidelines including line numbers and page numbers;
to let your co-authors, if native English speakers, look over the manuscript to expedite production time, if your manuscript will be accepted for publication;
to prepare your abstract text you will paste into the file upload form and, if applicable, your supplement file as *.pdf or *.zip archive;
to read our section on files for the review process;
to ensure that your figure files are labelled correctly with Arabic numerals (e.g. fig01, fig02), compiled as *.pdf, *.ps, *.eps, *.jpg, *.png, or *.tif files with a resolution of 300 dpi, panels are collected into one figure file, the reproduction rights have been secured, and our guidelines for figures & tables are followed;
to ensure that your maps and aerial files follow our guidelines for maps & aerials, the reproduction rights have been secured, and copyright statements or credits are included in your maps and aerials according to the regulations of the provider;
to ensure that your references follow our guidelines for references;
to agree and comply with the general terms and the article processing charges for this journal;
to agree and comply with the licence and copyright agreement;
to agree and comply with the general obligations for authors;
to register the manuscript in order to receive a link to upload the manuscript files into the online system Copernicus Office Editor.
While preparing their manuscript, authors are kindly requested to consider the manuscript review criteria to meet the quality standards and to reduce the peer-review processing time. We recommend that any data set used in your manuscript is submitted to a reliable data repository and linked from your manuscript through a DOI. Please see our data policy. Please also consider other assets like software & model code or video supplements.
Prepare your assets
Once your manuscript is about to appear online you will be asked upon upload of production files to provide DOIs (digital object identifiers) for assets to your work. While a supplement is stored in the journal online library alongside your work, other assets as described below must be submitted to specialized repositories. Please consider providing at least preliminary links to such assets for the period of peer review to allow reviewers to access these essential additions.
Software and model code
Authors are encouraged to deposit software, algorithms, and model code in FAIR-aligned repositories/archives whenever possible. These research outputs are then cited in the manuscript using the received DOI and included in the reference list. The manuscript must then include a section entitled "Code availability" or, in the case of data and code, "Code and data availability".
Data sets
Authors are requested to follow our data policy including
the deposit of research data (i.e. the material necessary to validate the research findings) that correspond to journal articles in reliable FAIR-aligned data repositories that assign persistent identifiers (preferably digital object identifiers (DOIs)). Suitable repositories can be found at https://www.re3data.org/;
the proper citation of data sets in the text and the reference list including the persistent identifier. For data sets hosted on GitHub, authors are kindly asked to issue a DOI through Zenodo and include this DOI in the reference list;
the inclusion of a statement on how their underlying research data can be accessed. This must be placed in the section "Data availability" at the end of the manuscript before the acknowledgements. If the data are not publicly accessible, a detailed explanation of why this is the case is required (e.g. applicable laws, university and research institution policies, funder terms, privacy, intellectual property and licensing agreements, and the ethical context of the research);
the provision of unrestricted access to all data and materials underlying reported findings for which ethical or legal constraints do not apply.
Sample availability
If geoscientific samples which are registered as International Geo Sample Number (IGSN) have been used for the manuscript, authors are required to include the IGSN in the reference list, cite it in the article, and provide a statement on how to access the sample by adding a section "Sample availability" to the manuscript.
Video supplements & video abstracts
In collaboration with the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB), Copernicus Publications provides authors with the possibility of uploading video supplements and/or video abstracts relating to their accepted article.
If you wish to upload a video associated with your article, please register the video in the AV Portal of TIB Hannover and follow the instructions. Within about three days, the TIB will issue a DOI for your video. This DOI has to be entered during your production file upload at Copernicus after the acceptance of your manuscript. The journal library will use the DOI to link your article with the corresponding video.
Registration and upload steps
Register via the respective tab on the AV Portal.
Log in by using your customer name and password.
Use the tab "Upload" and fill out the upload form.
A number of entries are specific to your video, but please make sure that the following specifications and selections are made:
Specify the publisher as Copernicus Publications (section: "Information on participants").
Fill in the field "Abstract" including the title of the paper and journal (section: "Optional information about the video").
Select the CC-Attribution licence (section: "License form and legal information").
If the DOI of the paper is known, please specify it under the additional footage (section: "Would you like to include additional footage with the video?").
Technical specifications
Video format: MPG1, MPG2, MPG4, H264, FLV, DVCPro25/50
Aspect ratio: native image format without letterboxing (4:3, 16:9)
Resolution: 720 × 576 (16:9, anamorphic), 1024 × 576 (16:9, square pixel), 720 × 576 (4:3, anamorphic), or 768 × 576 (4:3, square pixel)

Maximum size: 2GB
Supplements
Supplementary material is reserved for items that cannot reasonably be included in the main text or as appendices. These may include short videos, very large images, maps, CIF files, as well as short computer codes such as matlab or python script. In no case can supplementary material contain scientific interpretations or findings that would go beyond the contents of the manuscript. In general, supplementary material that can be hosted in alternative sites such as FAIR-aligned data repositories should be placed there. These include data sets, movies, animations, or computer programme codes, for which a persistent identifier, ideally a DOI, should be mentioned in the "data availability" section of the manuscript. Normal size figures, tables, as well as technical or theoretical developments that do not need to be included in the main text should be included as appendices. Moderate-size data sets may be presented as supplements, but this should be cleared with the editor. When supplements are justified, the following will apply:
Supplements will receive their own DOI (digital object identifier) and will be published online along with the article as *.zip archive or single *.pdf file.
Supplements will receive a title page added during the publication process including title ("Supplement of"), authors, and the correspondence email. Therefore, please avoid providing this information in the supplement.
Equations, figures and tables in supplements should be numbered as (S1), Fig. S5 or Table S6. Sections are numbered as S3, S3.1, and S3.1.1.
The overall file size of a supplement is limited to 50 MB. Authors of larger supplements are kindly asked to submit their files to a reliable FAIR-aligned data repository and to insert a persistent identifier, ideally a DOI, in the manuscript.
