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.

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 An unpublished manuscript, eg, a doctoral dissertation should include (ms) followed by the date, title, and: PhD dissert, the university or Univ Microfilms, Ann Arbor,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
