Submission The submision of a paprer to the Landform Analysis will be taken to imply that the paper is original and unpublished, a similar or the same text has not been submitted elsewhere nor is being considered for publication elsewhere. In certain cases, consideration will be given to papers published or to be published in a language other than English, but full details of the other publication and the copyright must be given at the time of submission.

All submitted papers will be reviewed. There is no page charge, except of special cases such as illustration of a paper by colour maps, photos or diagrams, for example. In such cases authors are asked to contact the Chef Editor in advance.

Texts intended for publications should be written in English and typed on one side of the A4-size white paper, with double spacing and wide margins. Two copies of the typescript should be sent to the Chief Editor at the address given below. The typescript should include:

1. the title page with title of the paper, name(s) of author(s), his/her/their affiliation and detailed address(es), short title of not more than 50 characters and abstract,
2. text on numbered consecutively pages,
3. list of references,
4. list of captions of illustrations,
5. illustrations according to conditions described further.

Title page and abstracts The title should be concise yet informative. Short title, use in header, should not exceed 50 characters. Full name of the author (or authors) should be given, followed by the affiliation with precise postal address. If an author's present address is different from the affiliation where the work was carried out, this should be indicated as a footnote at the title page. The abstract should not only indicate the general scope of the paper, but also state the main results and conclusions. The abstract should be a complete text itself and should not exceed 200 words. The Polish speaking authors are requested to submit the Polish version of the abstract either.

The main text Papers should be divided into sections, described by short headings. Subsections and sub-subsections may be used, each by short headings. No further subdivisions should normally be used. Addendum (addenda) or appendix (appendices) to the main text are usually not accepted.

Numerical data should be given in SI units or units approved internationally for use with SI. Other units should be accompanied by SI equivalents. The pages must be numbered consecutively. Any special characters (e.g. Greek, script, symbol, etc.) should be named in the margin where the character first occurs in the text. Names of species are to be accenuated with wavy underline (i.e. Italics). Equations should be numbered serially by Arabic numerals in parantheses in the right side of the page, but only if reference is made to them in the text. Foot notes should be avoided. Tables, favourably small, should be numbered by Arabic numerals and refered to in the text by their number (e.g. "see Table 3"). Tables may be included into the text. If they are typed on separate pages their position in the text should be marked. The desired position of each illustration should be also marked in the typescript.

References The principal purpose of the list and reference style is to enable readers to locate cited literature. Acurate and complete references are therefore crucial. Misspelled names, incorrect dates, or missing publisher locations defeat the purpose of the list. When the author has any doubts, should include too much rather, than too little, information on the cited work. The accuracy of references is the responsibility of the author(s), to whom queries will be addressed.

All citations have to correspond entirely with the reference list. All entries in the reference list must be cited in the text. The author should avoid to many citations. Reference in the text is made by giving the author's name and date of publication, e.g. (Kotarba, 1989). If the name of the author is part of the sentence, only the year is required in parantheses, e.g. "As stated by Drewry (1983), ...". Where two or more papers published in any year by the same author are cited, each paper should be distinguished by a small letter placed after the date, e.g. (Kozarski, 1988a; 1988b). Where a quoted paper has been written by two authors they should be cited as follows: (Kostrzewski & Zwoliński, 1995). In the case of more than two authors, only the first name should be cited in the text with addition of the abbreviation et al. (= et alii) in Italics, e.g. (Aber et al., 1995).

Personal communications, unpublished data, and manuscripts in preparation or submitted for publication should not be included in the reference list. In the text refer to them in parantheses by first initials and last name of source, type of material and date. An exception is related to unpublished Ph.D. thesis (see an example in the reference list). Works accepted for publication but not yet released should be listed as "in press" in place of the journal volume and using the year of acceptance as the date. Typescripts submitted for publication but not yet accepted are considered to be unpublished (see above).

Reference to the literature cited should be arranged in alphabetical order. Reference list should conform to the examples given below.

In case of doubts how to quote a reference, information as full as possible should be included and/or enclosed a photocopy of the title page of the publication.

Illustrations (Figures) All illustrations should be suitable for direct reproduction. They should be submitted at the following sizes: width - 85 mm or up to but not exceeding 178 mm and lenght - up to but not exceeding 265 mm. Line drawings should be made with strong black lines with lettering of sufficient size to be legible when reduced even two times. The original drawings, laser printer output, or high-quality black and white glossy prints (as rich in contrast as possible) should be submitted, plus two copies. Illustrations should be numbered in Arabic numerals consecutively (including diagrams and photos). The number and author's name should be written on the back of all illustrations. The line thickness used for line drawing should be related to the size of the diagram and the reduction that is likely to be used. Computer-generated figures and traces from pen or dotts printers will not be accepted. The illustrations should be referred to in the text by their number (e.g. "compare Fig. 4"). The Authors wishing to have illustrations returned should notify the Chief Editor at the time of submission of their papers.

Proofs Authors will receive proofs for correction, which should be returned promptly. There will not be accepted any significant changes in the original text, except corrections of errors.

Transfer of copyright The Association of Polish Geomorphologists is the owner of the copyright of papers published in the Landform Analysis. Authors are asked to submit a complete Assignment of Copyright form. The form will be sent to authors after acceptation of a paper for publication.
