original papers and reviews. Original papers present the latest

scientific studies, normally 5,000 to 10,000 words long and within 6-12

journal pages. Review papers are based on literature review and

summarize the current status of study of a specific topic or field,

identify remaining scientific problems, and point out future directions,

normally 5,000 to 10,000 words and within 6-12 journal pages.

Components of a review paper

Same as an original paper, but the arrangement of text may vary depending on the topics.

4. Artwork

General requirements to all the figures:

All

figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals, such as Fig. 1, Fig.

2, etc. Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (Fig. 1a,

Fig. 1b, etc.). The size of figures should be no larger than the size of

A4 paper and fit in one-column (8-5 cm) or two-column (16-16.5 cm)

width. Labeling in figures should be in font of Times New Roman and 6 pt

at least (7-8 pt are commonly recommended). Initial of the first word

including legend should be capitalized, except proper nouns (e.g.

Changcheng System, Yanshannian-Himalayan). Boldface type or italics are

not recommended usually.

Lines in figures should be 0.18-3 pt, frame 0.3-0.5 pt, and emphatic lines can be 0.5-1.0 pt.

Digital

line-drawing figures should be prepared using CorelDraw, Adobe

Illustrator or Photoshop and in .CDR, .WMF, .PSD or .Ai format. If these

programs are not available, digital figures in JPG or TIFF formats with

a resolution of 600 dpi are acceptable as long as they meet the

journal’s requirements.

Digital photographs should have a resolution of 600 dpi.

The journal publishes both color and black-and-white figures.

5.

Table: Tables should be generally less than one page; tables more than

one page should be submitted as supplemental material, not as part of

the main manuscript. The text in tables should be Times New Roman, 7.5

pt, and single-spaced. The first letter of the first word in each cell

should be in upper case, except proper nouns.

6. Graphical abstract

Acta

Geologica Sinica - English Edition publishes graphical abstracts for

research articles and review articles, displayed online in graphical

form with a brief abstract, in addition to the up to 250 word abstract

above. The online table of contents will display a schematic figure to

convey the core message of your paper, alongside a short abstract

highlighting the major findings of the paper. Authors should submit a

new and stand-alone image, or designate an image already included in the

paper. Your short abstract should consist of 2-3 sentences summarizing

the essence of the paper. Graphical abstract entries should be submitted

to Scholar One in one of the generic file formats and uploaded as

‘Graphical Abstract’ during the initial manuscript submission process.

The image should fit within the dimensions of 50mm x 60mm, and be fully

legible at this size.

7.

Manuscript preparation: Microsoft Word files are preferred. Times New

Roman font, 12 pt font size, and double line spacing are recommended.

8.

The author alone is responsible for the correctness of his/her paper.

When major changes are deemed necessary, the Editor will consult with

the author, and the corrected manuscript may be returned to the author

for approval or further clarification.

9.

Ethical responsibility of authors: Only unpublished original papers,

which have not been submitted or published elsewhere, will be

considered.

10.

Online Submission: Please submit your manuscript at

https://wiley.atyponrex.com/journal/ACGS. For initial submission, it is

recommended that figures and tables be inserted in appropriate positions

in the text for convenience of peer review. Once a manuscript is

recommended for acceptance, please submit the revised text, each revised

figure and each revised table as separate files.

journal encourages authors to share the data and other artefacts

supporting the results in the paper by archiving it in an appropriate
