PUBLICATION OF THE PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE
Meeting on the Coniacian -Santonian boundary,
September 13 to 17. 2002 in Bilbao, Spain

Brussels, 10.10.2002

Dear Colleagues,

As was explained in Bilbao we would like to publish a volume on our meeting in the journal Cretaceous Research.
According to David Batten the present editor-in-chief this is theoretically possible. He suggested we follow the following procedure that is often being used at present:

  • 1. the papers should be sent to the editor responsible for the volume;
  • 2. if to this editor the paper looks likely to be acceptable for printing after revision, it is sent to referees and to D. Batten;
  • 3. if D. Batten agrees that the paper should be published he does a preliminary edit and returns it to the editor in charge of the volume;
  • 4. the editor in charge of the volume then returns the annotated manuscript plus the reports of the referees to the authors for final correction of their texts.

As you probably know Cretaceous Research has been taken over by Elsevier from Academic Press. At present they continue the “old “ procedure – they may not do this in the more distant future. Therefore we should try and submit our papers as quickly as possible so that they can get started in the system we still understand and can handle relatively easily!

The volume shall be directed by three scientific editors (A.V. Dhondt, M. Lamolda and J.M. Pons) but the practical work and the relations with Cretaceous Research shall be handled by A.V. Dhondt.

Therefore I suggest the following steps:

  • 1. Please send me the exact title of your paper(s), and its (their) foreseen size (including the number of figures) before November 5, 2002
  • 2. Please prepare your manuscript for submission so that it reaches me not later than February 1, 2003

The manuscripts should be prepared according to the brief instructions to authors published on the inside back cover of a recent volume of Cretaceous Research. A recent detailed guide for authors may be found in Cretaceous Research 22, 1 (2001). If you have no access to the journal check on Internet.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask me.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Annie V. Dhondt
