Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and is not being considered in this form for publication elsewhere. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of the fact that Gold Bulletin is printed in full colour

Dr Patricia M HarrisContributions are accepted on the understanding that the author has obtained the necessary authority for publication. On acceptance of an article by Gold Bulletin, authors will be asked to transfer the copyright to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
1 Where possible, the paper should be written in Microsoft Word, with the main text preferably in Arial 11 point.
2 The figures and diagrams should be provided as separate files and NOT in the word document. We will not accept manuscripts with embedded artwork. The publisher will place figures into the text for you in the appropriate place. The figures are acceptable as eps, jpeg and tiff files. Other formats can be accepted. All photographs need to be supplied high resolution. Please contact the Technical Editor for more details if required
3 Figure and Table captions should be in Italics. The references should be numbered consecutively (in brackets) throughout the text and collected together in a reference list at the end of the paper written in the form:
i.e. Authors Names, Journal name, Year, Volume number, page number
e.g. H. Bonnemann, Inorg. Chem, 1993, 32, 5167.
4 There is a limit of 4 pages plus figures and tables for scientific papers. Any longer papers need to be justified and will only be published at the Editor’s discretion. In the case of reviews, longer papers may be accepted at the Editor’s discretion but if too long, they may be split over two issues. Please refer to current issues of Gold Bulletin for an indication of general length. A typical Gold Bulletin page equates to about 2 pages of A4 typescript.
5 Authors should supply a short ‘CV’ for the ‘About the authors’ feature at the end of the paper. This should be no more than 80 words per author or, if more than 2 co-authors, no more than 250 words in total. A portrait picture of each author (in colour) should also be provided to accompany this section. .
Text should be, preferably, submitted by e-mail to the Technical Editor. An additional copy on diskette with a hard copy and original figures may also be required.
Articles are published in English, and they should be submitted in this language unless special permission has been sought from the Technical Editor.
Authors will receive one copy of the proofs as pdf files by e mail which should be corrected and returned to the Technical Editor as soon as possible. No new material may be inserted in the text at the time of proof reading. Note: Undue delay in returning corrected proof may result in the article being deferred to the following issue
Authors will receive a pdf file of their paper for their personal use. If required, upon request, up to 10 colour photocopies can be supplied in addition. This recognises that some authors may not have ready access to a colour printer.
Gold Bulletin will normally retain copyright over articles published in Gold Bulletin, unless prior agreement is obtained by the authors. There is no objection for authors to reproduce figures and tables in other articles published elsewhere, provided the original source is acknowledged.
Note: The editor reserves the right to accept or reject an article, whether submitted speculatively or by invitation, and cannot guarantee publication in any given issue of Gold Bulletin, although every effort will be made to publish as soon as possible after acceptance.
