Publication
Accepted papers will be published on the internet immediately, in both HTML
and PDF formats. Any standard internet browser reads HTML and permits reception of
sound, animation and virtual reality; PDF format provides a good quality printable version of
the publication while retaning, insofar as possible, the original
content. When no sound or animation is involved, the text and illustrations of the
HTML and PDF versions are identical.
Authors pay no publication costs, and the online access to the
journal is free. Papers published during any one calender year will be considered
a volume; also, for the purpose of citation; an annual CD-ROM will contain the
year's publications and will be made available to
interested Earth Sciences libraries and researchers.
Originals sent to one of the executive editors must include an electronic
version (RTF, Microsoft Word or HTML formats) and two hard copies. Margins
should be a minimum of 2.5 cm and line spacing shall be set to 1.5. An electronic
copy of the figures should be sent separately from the text (although their
inclusion in the text is desirable), using TIFF, GIF, BMP or JPEG formats (minimum
resolution of 200 dpi). For quality control, authors may be requested to furnish
paper copies of the figures. Animated figures or movies should
be submitted in the formats currently used by internet browsers;
unusual formats can be considered if instructions are provided for
downloading the appropriate plug-ins.
After the executive editors have verified that a submission is in accordance
with the rules, the manuscript will be forwarded to one of the
Scientific Editors who will ask at
least two specialists on the subject to review it.
The final decision on acceptance is made by the scientific editor in
charge of the paper.
Key-words
At least five key-words should be provided by the authors.
Title and authors
The title should be concise and adequately define the subject of the paper.
Identification of the authors is provided by first and last names, postal
address and email address.
Example
Distortion index, cell parameters and chemical composition of cordierite
from granites and hornfelses of the Tondela-Oliveira do Hospital region
(Central Portugal).

Abstract
The abstract should present concisely the purpose of the paper and its
most important conclusions; references are not to be included and
the maximum length is 400 words.
Equations and notation
Equations presented in the text should be numbered sequentially (number
quoted on the right). Preference should be accorded to units of the International
System. The meaning of abbreviations should be explained in the
text or captions, except when their number is so great as to make an appendix appropriate.
Tables and figures
The originals should be submitted in accordance with the formats referred to above.
Captions of figures and tables should be concise and adequate; vertical and
horizontal lines on tables are to be used judiciously.
References
Only the papers referred to in the text are listed in the references.
Citations in the text should include the name of the author and year of
publication; examples are Silva (2000) or (Silva 2000), the latter form to
be used when the name of the author is not a part of the text. When more
than one paper by one author in the same year is quoted, a suffix a, b, c
should be used, as in the following example: Silva (2000a, 2000b).
For papers with more than one author, an abbreviated form of citation is to
be used in the text (Silva et al. 2000), and the full citation given in the
reference list.
