Article Submission

General Information

"Himalayan Geology", a biannual (January and July) periodical of the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun, publishes original contributions on all aspects of the geology of Himalaya. The papers may present new data and findings and good synthesis on geology and geophysics with dominant emphasis on the Alpine-Himalayan Mountain Belt and adjoining terrains, and processes related to mountain building activities. The average length of a paper including figures and tables should not exceed 20 printed pages. Short communications including Discussion, Comments and Replies on papers, which have appeared in a recent issue of Himalayan Geology, are welcome. They should normally not exceed two printed pages. All contributions are subject to the normal review procedure. Authors may provide names and addresses of three reviewers to aid the editors in their selection. Acceptance of a manuscript is decided after the receipt of its final version along with original figures and tables. The scientific content of the papers will be the sole responsibility of the authors. 

Submission of an article to Himalayan Geology is understood to imply that it has not been published on paper or electronically, that it has not been simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere, and that the author agrees to transfer the copyright to Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology.
