Guidelines for Authors of Journal of Volcanology and Seismology Volcanology and Seismology is oriented toward volcanologists, seismologists, geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, and specialists in other disciplines interested in problems of volcanism, seismicity, and deepseated processes in volcanic areas. The following topics are covered: – Present-day land-based and offshore volcanic activity, ejecta of volcanic eruptions, the structure of volcanoes and “volcanic roots,” seismic and other observations of active volcanoes, eruption predic- tion; – Neogene–Quaternary volcanism and the evolution of volcanic centers and volcanism throughout the Earth’s history; – Petrology of igneous rocks and origin of magmas; – Geochemistry of volcanic and postvolcanic processes and related mineralization; – Geothermics and hydrothermal systems in volcanic areas; – Seismologic observations, seismicity, recent movements, deep structure and geodynamics of the transitional zone between the Asian continent, the Pacific Ocean, and other volcanic areas; – Physics of earthquakes and the seismic process; – The mechanism of deep-seated magmatic activity and volcanic eruptions. The journal welcomes manuscripts that contain final, yet previously unpublished results of theoreti- cal and experimental works, as well as review articles. The editorial board asks authors to conform to the following guidelines. (1) Manuscripts should be submitted together with a completed, signed, and scanned copyright transfer agreement; information about the authors: surnames, names, academic degrees and titles, affili- ations, postal addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses. The corresponding author should be indi- cated. (2) Manuscripts should not exceed 24 printed pages (including tables and references) and 10 pages for short communications. (3) Manuscripts should be prepared using a 12-pt font, double-spaced, 30 lines per page, 60–65 characters in a line including spaces, with a left margin of 3 cm. All pages must be numbered in the top right corner. (4) The first page should contain: (1) the title; (2) the list of authors; (3) their affiliations and ad- dresses, (4) e-mail addresses; (5) date received. For example, Concentration Criterion of Fracture Incorporating a Fractal Distribution of Faults V. B. Smirnova and A. D.

Bol’shaya Gruzinskaya 10, Moscow, 123995 Russia Received August 26, 1998 1 This should be followed by an abstract, the main text, list of references, tables, figure captions, and fig- ures. (5) The paper should be divided into sections according to content. The following standard subtitles are allowed: INTRODUCTION, DATA SET, METHODS OF STUDY, RESULTS, CONCLU- SIONS, and REFERENCES. A combined section RESULTS AND DISCUSSION may occasionally be more feasible. Section headings should be all caps and centered; first-level subheadings should be in italics, standard capitalization, and centered; second-level subheadings are in bold, at the beginning of a paragraph. In papers that exceed the normal number of pages, the subsections may be numbered. (6) No abbreviations are allowed in the main text apart from standard abbreviations; abbreviated names should be identified on first mention; all local geographical place names should be checked. The International System of Units (SI) should be used. The creators of computer programs used for the pa- per should be indicated. (7) Tables should be on separate pages with double spacing; these should not contain information already in the main text. All units of measure should be indicated in the top row. Tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals in the order they appear in the text (e.g., Table 1). The number of a table is given before its title. (8) Mathematical and chemical formulas referred to in the text should be placed on a separate line and numbered. Fractions are preferably written with slashes. It is desirable to avoid using the root sym- bol instead of a fractional exponent. The decimal symbol should be a period. (9) There should be no more than eight figures per 40 000 characters. Halftone images should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Figures should contain all necessary notations, but the amount of text should be reduced to the minimum, most of the legend being relegated to captions. Figures should be numbered in Roman type. (10) Figure captions should be placed on a separate page with double spac- ing. All notation in figures (whether alphabetic or numerical) should be identified in the corresponding caption. Figure captions should not contain any nonalphanumeric symbols like shading, circles, trian- gles, etc., that are used for the figure itself. Maps should contain the barest minimum of populated area names required to understand the text. The geographic place names mentioned in the text should be shown in the figures. (11) Publications referred to in the text should be collected under the heading REFERENCES in alphabetical order (on a separate page). When a reference is mentioned in the text, the surnname and year of publication should be given in parentheses, e.g., (Ivanov, 2006) or (Miller and Bergmann, 2009). When there are three or more authors to a paper, only the first author is given, e.g., (Johnson et al., 1996). References to unpublished work should be given only in footnotes. The format in the list of ref- erences should be as follows: Hill, R. and Roeder, P., The crystallization of spinels from basaltic liquids as a function of oxy- gen fugacity, J. Geology, 1974, vol. 82, no. 6, pp. 709–729. Ali, T., Davatzes, N., Mellors, R., et al., InSAR measurements and numerical models of defor- mation at Brady Hot Springs Geothermal Field (Nevada),1997–2013, Proceedings, 39-th Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA: 2014, pp. 475–488. Zoback, M.D., Reservoir Geomechanics, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010. (12) The editorial board reserves the right to abridge and correct papers when required. (13) Manuscripts that violate these guidelines will be returned to authors without review. 2 .
