Instructions for Authors

Types of Paper

The Journal welcomes only research articles and publishes peer-reviewed works. The articles have to be written in good English (both American and British usage are accepted).

Submission declaration

Submission of an article implies that the work has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis) and it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the copyright-holder. The publication is approved by all authors and by the responsible institute where the work was carried out.

Copyright

The authors of an accepted article will be asked to complete a 'Journal Publishing Agreement'. Acceptance of the agreement will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.

Submission

The manuscripts have to be submitted online on the journal’s website (www.geo.u-szeged.hu/journal/). The submission is guided stepwise through the uploading of the necessary files. All necessary correspondence, including the notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail (joeg@geo.u-szeged.hu). The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges.

Article structure

The article has to be divided into clearly defined sections (and subsections if needed) without numbering. The recommended structure is the following:

Abstract (brief summary of the article, not containing any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references, but the purpose of the research, the principal results and the major conclusions)

Introduction (providing an adequate background and describing the objectives of the work)

Study area (allocation and description of the study site)

Methods (providing the details of the applied materials and methods, to allow the work to be reproduced)

Results (the clear and concise presentation of research results)

Discussion (emphasizing the significance of research results; a combined Results and Discussion section is also appropriate)

Conclusions (short section describing the main conclusions of the study)

Acknowledgement (acknowledgements of people, grants, funds etc.)

References (list of references)
