Pakistan Journal of Meteorology (PJM) is an international journal on the dynamics, physics and chemistry of the atmosphere and with papers across the full range of the atmospheric sciences, published bi-annually by Pakistan Meteorological Department. The journal includes Articles, Notes, and Correspondence. Contributions from all over the world are welcome. Submission: A submission to PJM must be the original work of the author(s) and must not be published in any language elsewhere or under consideration for another publication in a similar form. Manuscript in English should be submitted to Mr. Sarfaraz Shahid, Editor PJM, Pakistan Meteorological Department, P.O. Box 1214, Islamabad. Please include your email address, phone and fax numbers on the bottom of the first page of the manuscript. Two complete copies of the manuscript should be submitted by mail along with its electronic version in MS Word format on a CD or by email at pmisba@isb.paknet.com.pk. Manuscript Preparation: Each manuscript should have been carefully reviewed for correctness and clarity of expression before submission. Complete manuscript (including tables, references, and figure captions) must be double spaced, printed on one side of the page only, with wide margins, and all pages must be numbered consecutively. Components of a manuscript: Each manuscript should include the following components, presented in the order shown below: Title: name and affiliation of each author and email address of the corresponding author. These items should be written on the title page. Abstract: a brief, concise abstract is required at the beginning of each manuscript. Authors should summarize their conclusions and methodology in the abstract. First person construction should not be used in the abstract, and references should be omitted since they are not available for abstracting services. Key words: 4-6 keywords should be provided. Text: The text should be divided into sections, each with a separate heading and numbered consecutively (e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, ….). Acknowledgements. Appendix: Lengthy, mathematical analyses whose details are subordinate to the main theme of the paper should normally appear in an appendix. Each appendix should have a title. References: References should be arranged alphabetically without numbering. The text citation should consist of the author’s name and year of publication [e.g., “according to Robert (1990),” or “as shown by an earlier study (Robert, 1990)”].When there are two or more papers by the same author in the same year, the distinguishing suffix (a, b, etc.) should be added. Figure caption: Each figure must be provided with a self-explanatory caption. Authors should include captions below the figures used for the reviewer copies. Illustrations and tables: Each figure and table should be numbered consecutively and cited specifically in the text by number. All tables should have a title and legend. Figures: Authors should send high quality hard copy originals of all figures. Authors should strive to submit their figure at the size they will appear (but do not submit photocopy reductions in place of larger, higher quality originals). Mathematical formulae, symbols, units: Different typefaces should be set for different kinds of variables. Scalar variables are set as italic, and vectors, matrices and tensors are set as bold italic (e.g., V). Units should be SI with the exception of a few approved non-SI units of wide meteorological or oceanographic usage. Units should be set in Roman font using exponents rather than the solidus (/) and with a space between each unit in a compound set (e.g., m s-1). References: References must be complete and properly formatted. Technical reports and conference proceedings should be referenced only when no other source of the material is available. Examples: Boville, B.A., and J.W. Hurrels, 1998: A comparison of the atmospheric circulations simulated by the CCM3 and GSM1. J. Climate, 11, 1327 – 1341. Krishnamurti, T.N., and T. Murakami, 1981: on the onset vortex of the summer Monsoon. Mon. Wea. Rev., 109, 344-363. Rao, Y. P., V. Srinivasan, and S. Raman, 1970: Effect of middle latitude westerly systems on Indian Monsoon Syp. Trop. Met. Hawaii. No. IV 1-4. |
