The Journal of Micropalaeontology

The Journal of Micropalaeontology is well-established as an international publication with a circulation approaching 900 copies covering all aspects of microfossils and their application both in applied studies and basic research. The scope of the journal 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 
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).

Further information on publishing in the journal is available at the Geological Society.

Back Issues
Copies of back issues can be obtained from The Micropalaeontological Society at the cost of £1 per issue. Contact Haydon Bailey for details.
