INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS, 2006

Economic Geology is an independent journal published by the Society of Economic Geologists, Inc., which uses this journal as the bulletin of their organization; however, membership in the society is not necessary for submission of manuscripts. Papers submitted to the journal will be evaluated on the basis of appropriateness for the journal, suitability of topic, and quality and significance of the research. Do not send manuscripts that have already been published or accepted for publication elsewhere, that reiterate previously published material or that contain significant material already published in symposium volumes or conference proceedings. If the paper being submitted is a derivative of symposium or conference papers, authors should reference the latter in their cover letter; if the symposium or conference paper is "in press," authors should include a copy of that paper with their submittal. The Editor and members of the Editorial Board will seek competent reviews of papers prior to accepting them for publication or recommending revisions.
