The
Journal of Micropalaeontology
The
Journal of Micropalaeontology (JM) is well-established as an
international
publication with a circulation approaching 900 copies and covering all
aspects of microfossils and their application both in applied studies
and basic research. The Impact Factor for the JM (as of 2011)
is 0.759.
The scope of the JM has always been broad,
especially to show the application of microfossils to solving
geological problems, but with an emphasis on taxonomy. The principal
fields of interest are: biostratigraphy; evolution; palaeobiology;
palaeoenvironments; reviews; taxonomic studies. The emphasis will be on
applications. Our aim is to attract high-quality papers that will prove
to be influential in the development of our science.

Instructions for authors
Notice from editor-in-chief (January 2013) [view]
The
Geological Society Publishing House, who publish the Journal of
Micropalaeontology on behalf of TMS, are presently
constructing an electronic
manuscript submission and management system. Until the system is
launched, authors can email
submissions in electronic form to the Production Editor. Text,
tables and figure
captions should
be submitted as Word files, with figures and plates as either PDFS or
low-resolution native files. If your paper is accepted then the final
submission will be expected to include the high-resolution native files
for figures and plates (e.g. EPS or TIF files). More detailed
instructions for authors are available for download here (pdf, 25kb).
Further
information on publishing in the journal is available at the Geological Society. Open Access
The
Geological Society has reviewed its publishing practices and has
introduced policies to enable authors who choose to do so to publish
articles Open Access in its online journals, Special Publications,
Engineering Geology Special Publications and Memoirs.
Journal
of Micropalaeontology now offers authors the choice to publish under
either the Gold Open Access model or the Green Open Access model. Gold
Open access requires the payment of an Article Processing Charge (APC)
of £1000/$2000 on acceptance and the article will be free to all
immediately on publication. Green Open Access requires no fee and
allows authors to post their accepted manuscript online after an
embargo period of 12 months. Full details of our Open Access policy can
be found on our website at: http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/Open-Access
Authors
will be given the opportunity to choose to publish Open Access once
their paper has been accepted and the production editor will manage the
publication process and organise invoicing.
As you know the Geological Society is committed to developing its publishing services for authors.
- Indexing Special Publications in Elsevier’s Scopus and Thomson Reuters Web of Science Book Citation Index
- Online First – our publish-ahead-of-print system which ensures fast publication of papers
- Mobile sites for journals – allowing greater portability and phone/tablet access from any location
- Open Access publishing choices
Above
all, with your help, the Geological Society will continue its policy of
publishing high-quality peer-reviewed research outputs, on a
not-for-profit basis.
If you have any questions about Open
Access or any of our other services please email
open.access@geolsoc.org.uk or contact your production editor.
