1 MANUSCRIPT

Papers and technical notes, which are to be submitted in English, should fit within the scope of International Journal of Sediment Research (see back cover). All manuscripts will be reviewed by at least two members of the Editorial Board, consisting of internationally renowned experts in their specific field. Only original manuscripts will be accepted and copyright for published papers will be vested in the publisher. The manuscript should be submitted to the Editorial Board of the Journal through e-mail to one of the following addresses: 1) chyh@iwhr.com; 2) zywang@tsinghua.edu.cn; 3) sedimentpaper2004@yahoo.com.cn.Submission of a manuscript implies: 1) the work presented has not been published before; 2) it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; 3) its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities at the institution where the work was carried out.

2 TEXT

One PDF file and one WORD file of the manuscript should be submitted. Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced and line numbered in 12 pt characters on A4 pages. Technical paper should not exceed 10,000 word equivalent and short note 5,000 word equivalent (figures inclusive). Technical terms and mathematical symbols used should be defined where they first appear in figures, tables or text.

3 TITLE

The title should be brief. The authors' names should be typed on the line below the title; the present affiliation(s) should be typed in the footnote.

4 ABSTRACT

The body of manuscript should be preceded by an abstract with the maximum length of 300 words for a full-length manuscript. It should be intelligible in itself without depending on references cited. Three to five keywords should be listed after the abstract.

5 FIGURES AND TABLES

Electronic copy of figures should be provided, accepted in JPG or TIFF formats with 600dpi resolution, or in XLS data files. Photographs should be enlarged sufficiently to permit their clear reproduction in half tone after size reduction. ?All illustrations should be about twice the size of final reproduction, and the final size of lettering should not be smaller than 1.5 mm.

7 DISCUSSIONS AND CLOSURE

Discussions present significant comments about the technical content of a technical paper or note published in International Journal of Sediment Research. Submissions of discussions should be made no later than twelve months following the date of publication of the paper or note. They should be sent to the editor or the associate editors. Closure is written by the author(s) of the original paper or note. The author(s) addresses and clarifies issues raised in discussions and provides conclusions to the issues. Closure and discussions are published together.
