Manuscripts of 14C papers and date lists should follow the recommendations in “Suggestions to Authors of the Reports of the US Geological Survey,” 6th ed, 1978, Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. All copy, including the references, must be typewritten in double space: manuscripts must be submitted in duplicate. Computer print-out sheets may be used in letter-quality printing form. Manuscripts should be checked with meticulous care before they are submitted, for the author, not the editor, is finally responsible for errors other than those made by the printer. Revised manuscripts must be submitted in duplicate along with the original edited manuscript.

References

All citations of published material are placed at the end of the manuscript, under References. Material not cited in the text should not be included here. Following is the order of citations:Google Scholar
Author's surname, full given name or two initials, year of publication, title: name of periodical, volume, number (if any), inclusive pages.

Works cited as “in press” must actually be in press, ie, accepted by a journal. The citation should be:Google Scholar
Magaritz, M and Heller, J, in press, Effect of the micro-environment … : Isotope Geoscience, in press.Google Scholar
If a manuscript is confidently expected to be published before galley proof is returned, blank page numbers (p 000-000) may be set up. A manuscript that has been submitted for publication but is not yet accepted should be cited as: Magaritz, M and Heller, J, (ms), Effect of the micro-environment… : ms subm to Isotope Geoscience. An unpublished manuscript, eg, a doctoral dissertation should include (ms) followed by the date, title, and: PhD dissert, the university or Univ Microfilms, Ann Arbor, Michigan, if applicable.Google Scholar
For proceedings of conferences, cite the editor first, the year of publication, title of the conference, number of the conference, followed by Proc:, place of publication, publisher, and pagination.Google Scholar
Ex: Stuiver, Minze and Kra, Renee, eds, Internatl radiocarbon conf, 10th, Proc: Radiocarbon, v 22, nos. 2 & 3, p 131–1016.Google Scholar
In citing articles that appear in proceedings, the article should be cited in the usual manner, the title followed by in, (in italics), the editors and title of the conference, and inclusive pagination.Google Scholar
Ex: Stuiver, Minze, 1983, Statistics of the ad record of climatic and carbon isotopic change, in Stuiver, Minze and Kra, Renee, eds, Internatl radiocarbon conf, 11th, Proc: Radiocarbon, v 25, no. 2, p 219–228.Google Scholar
For a paper presented at a conference that has not been published, give the author, year, and title followed by: Paper presented at Internatl radiocarbon conf, 11th, Seattle, Washington, June 20–26.Google Scholar
