Occasional Papers are a miscellaneous collection of reports and papers on work performed by INSTAAR personnel and associates. Generally, these papers are too long for publication as journal articles, or they contain large amounts of

supporting data that are normally difficult to publish in the standard literature.

ARCTIC AND ALPINE RESEARCH

EDITORIAL POLICY Arctic and Alpine Research publishes original

research papers, resulting correspondence, and short notes dealing with any scientific or cultural

aspect of arctic and alpine environments and re- lated topics on the subarctic and subalpine and on related paleoenvironments. Papers may be uni- or

multidisciplinary, but should have interdisci-

plinary appeal.

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION To facilitate publication, authors must submit

carefully checked manuscripts adhering to the in- structions outlined below. Two copies of the

manuscript and illustrations are required. Current issues of the journal should be used as a guide to

style and layout. Pages of the manuscript should be numbered consecutively throughout, assemb-

ling the various parts of the paper in the order of the notes given below. The whole manuscript must be typed, double-spaced with wide margins on standard-sized paper. The maximum length of a

paper should generally be about 5000 words, al-

though occasionally monographs will be accepted. Manuscripts should be sent to The Editor, Arc-

tic and Alpine Research, Institute of Arctic and

Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, U.S.A.

Authors submitting manuscripts do so on the

understanding that the work has not been pre- viously published and, if the manuscript is ac-

cepted for publication, that the copyright will be transferred to the Regents of the University of Colorado. Copyright transfer forms will be sent to the author if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication.

Title, author's name(s), and complete addresses

appear on the first page. Abstracts not exceeding 200 words accompany

all manuscripts. Text. Format and style of sections and headings

should follow current issues of the journal. Only words and letters to appear in italics should be underlined. Footnotes should be avoided. Tables and figures must be referred to in the text in numerical order. The metric system should be used, preferably Systeme International d'Unites (SI). Mathematical and statistical formulas should be typewritten where possible; handwritten char- acters should be identified in the margin. Double- line formulas are not acceptable in the body of the text; a solidus or negative exponent should be used. Equations should be numbered consecutively through the text.

References. The style of current issues should be

used. Only the name of a journal or book should be underlined. Spell out journal titles or ab- breviate according to the International Standard

Organization International List of Periodical Title Word Abbreviations (ISO 833-1974). The editor of a collective work should be given. Publisher and

place of publication should be given for books. A

paper having more than two authors should be re- ferred to in the text as Smith et al., but all the authors' names should appear in the list of refer- ences. All references should be carefully cross- checked before submitting the manuscript.

Appendices. Include lengthy statistical data subordinate to the text.

Tables are separated from text. They should be

designed to fit onto a page of the journal. Figure Captions. All figure captions should be

numbered corresponding to the figures and typed together on one or more sheets in the style of cur- rent issues of the journal.

Illustrations. Both line drawings and photo- graphs are referred to as Figures. Clear, contrast-

ing, glossy prints of photographs should be sup- plied, unmounted and suitable for half-tone re- duction. All illustrations should carry the author's names and figure number; "top" should be indi- cated. Figures should be planned with the journal page dimensions in mind (single column, 2-5/8"; double column, 5-1/2"; depth 8-1/8"). Maps and

diagrams may be submitted either completely ready for reproduction, or as a final compilation ready for drafting in the INSTAAR office, at moderate cost to the author. Details are available on request. One camera-ready print at publication size (in addition to two review copies) is welcomed.

Completed maps must meet the standards of cur- rent issues of the journal. No letter or symbol should be less than 1 mm in height after reduc- tion. Two Xerox copies of all linework should be

supplied for the reviewers; Xerox copies are not ac-

ceptable for photographs. Data Depository. Exceptionally lengthy support-

ing data may be deposited at the editorial office to be made available on request.

Proofs. Only galley proofs of the text and figure captions are sent to authors.

Reprints. Fifty reprints are supplied free of

charge. Prices of additional reprints will be sent to authors with the galley proofs.

Page Charges. Full or partial payment of $40 per page will be charged to authors whose institu- tions or research grants are able to pay page charges. Ability to pay these charges is not con- sidered a condition for publication but any contri- bution toward cost of publication is welcomed.
