MOUNTAIN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
A new quarterly journal devoted to the study of mountain environments, human welfare, and resource development is scheduled for release in May 1981.
Editor: Jack D. Ives, P.O. Box 3148, Boulder, Colorado 80307, U.S.A. Publishers: The United Nations University, Tokyo, Japan, and the International Moun-
tain Society, Boulder, Colorado.
EDITORIAL BOARD Mountain Research and Development will be
served by an international editorial advisory board of mountain experts dedicated to the mission of the International Mountain Society. The board, presently being formed, will include a small Publication Committee that will assist the Editor to manage the affairs of the journal.
EDITORIAL OVERVIEW The effects of environmental degradation
and population pressure are being felt with in- creasing severity in the mountains, in moun- tain communities, and downstream in the adjacent lowlands, where the welfare of many hundred million more people is indirectly at stake. As yet there has been no focal point for identification of these environmental prob- lems and no coordinated approach to a bal- anced policy of environmental integrity, hu- man welfare, and wise resource use.
The International Mountain Society was founded in October 1980 to provide a much needed focus for examination of such prob- lems and, through publication of a scientific quarterly, to provide a means of coordinating knowledge and research about mountains and mountainous regions to achieve a better bal- ance between them and their peoples.
Mountain Research and Development will pub- lish new research results, synthesize available knowledge, and where appropriate facilitate the translation of important works. The pur- pose is to contribute to knowledge and thus to help shape rational land-management policies for the mountain lands of the world. Although the journal's objectives are applied, editorial policy will be flexible, because it is believed that dissemination of most knowledge about mountains will have relevance to land man- agers and policy makers as well as scientists. The editorial intent is to develop a journal that will achieve respect among the scholarly community and at the same time to be of value to the decision makers.
Publication will be four times a year in the English language with abstracts of each paper in English, French, and German; later it is hoped that papers will be translated into local languages of the relevant regions.
Manuscripts in any field of mountain natu- ral and human science will be considered and subjected to editorial appraisal. Reviews of important publications on mountain topics will be published, and discussion of both jour- nal contents and mountain issues at large will be encouraged in "Letters to the Editor." Ac- counts of symposia on mountain topics will be included.
The administrators of Mountain Research and Development and Arctic and Alpine Research are entirely separate. However, the editorial boards of the two journals will work toward complementarity rather than duplication. Arc- tic and Alpine Research will pursue its stated edi- torial policy and will continue to publish aca- demic interdisciplinary original research papers dealing with present arctic/subarctic and alpine/subalpine and related cold envi- ronments and paleoenvironments. Con- versely, the new journal will be concerned with all aspects of mountain environments throughout the world.
INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN SOCIETY The society, copublisher of Mountain Re-
search and Development with the United Nations University, is open for membership to all indi- viduals and institutions interested in moun- tain science and its applications. Initially pub- lication of the journal will be the society's ma- jor objective; scientific meetings, workshops, and additional activities may be arranged. The society will collaborate with other institu- tions and individuals toward increasing our understanding of mountain problems. It will help to ensure a more balanced usage of mountain resources, both physical and spiritual.

ARCTIC AND ALPINE RESEARCH
EDITORIAL POLICY Arctic and Alpine Research publishes original re-
search papers, resulting correspondence, and short notes dealing with any scientific or cultural aspect of arctic and alpine environments and related topics on the subarctic and subalpine and on re- lated paleoenvironments. Papers may be uni- or multidisciplinary, but should have interdisci- plinary appeal.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION To facilitate publication, authors must submit
carefully checked manuscripts adhering to the in- structions outlined below. Two copies of the manu- script and illustrations are required. Current issues of the journal should be used as a guide to style and layout. Pages of the manuscript should be num- bered consecutively throughout, assembling the various parts of the paper in the order of the notes given below. The manuscript, including the refer- ences, must be typed, double-spaced with wide margins on standard-sized paper. The maximum length of a paper should generally be about 5000 words, although occasionally monographs will be accepted.
Manuscripts should be sent to The Editor, Arctic and Alpine Research, Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colo- rado 80309, U.S.A.
Authors submitting manuscripts do so on the understanding that the work has not been pre- viously published and, if the manuscript is ac- cepted for publication, that the copyright will be transferred to the Regents of the University of Colorado. Copyright transfer forms will be sent to the author if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication.
Title, author's name(s), and complete addresses appear on the first page.
Abstracts not exceeding 200 words accompany all manuscripts.
Text. Format and style of sections and headings should follow current issues of the journal. Only words and letters to appear in italics should be underlined. Footnotes should be avoided. Tables and figures must be referred to in the text in numerical order. The metric system should be used, preferably Systeme International d'Unites (SI). Mathematical and statistical formulas should be typewritten where possible; handwritten char- acters should be identified in the margin. Double- line formulas are not acceptable in the body of the text; a solidus or negative exponent should be used. Equations should be numbered consecutively through the text. For style refer to A Manual of Style (1969. Chicago and London: University of Chi-
cago Press, 12th edition) and Council of Biology Editors Style Manual (1978. Arlington, VA: Council of Biology Editors, 4th edition).
References. The format of current issues should be used. Only the name of a journal or book should be underlined. Spell out journal titles. The editor of a collective work should be given. A paper having more than two authors should be referred to in the text as Smith et al., but all the authors' names should appear in the list of references. All refer- ences should be carefully cross-checked before sub- mitting the manuscript.
Appendices. Include lengthy statistical data sub- ordinate to the text.
Tables are separated from text. They should be designed to fit onto a page of the journal.
Figure captions. All figure captions should be numbered corresponding to the figures and typed together on one or more sheets in the style of cur- rent issues.
Illustrations. Both line drawings and photographs are referred to as Figures. Clear, contrasting, glossy prints of photographs should be supplied, unmounted and suitable for half-tone reduction. All illustrations should carry the author's names and figure number; "top" should be indicated. Fig- ures should be planned with the journal page dimensions in mind (single column, 2 5/ "; double column, 5 'A "; depth 8", allowing space for the caption). Maps and diagrams may be submitted either completely ready for reproduction, or as a final compilation ready for drafting in the IN- STAAR office, at moderate cost to the author. De- tails are available on request. One camera-ready print at publication size (in addition to two review copies) is welcomed. Completed maps must meet the standards of current issues of the journal. No letter or symbol should be less than 1 mm in height after reduction. Two Xerox copies of all linework should be supplied for the reviewers; Xerox copies are not acceptable for photographs.
Data depository. Exceptionally lengthy supporting data may be deposited at the editorial office to be made available on request.
Proofs. Only galley proofs of the text and figure captions are sent to authors.
