"Micro Man", the Micro Press online manuscript system for Micropaleontology and Stratigraphy is used by authors to submit manuscripts and to check the status of their submittals, and by reviewers to manage their assignments.

In preparing manuscript, authors should consult guidelines for Micropaleontology, or guidelines for Stratigraphy. Prior to submittal, check that you have the following materials available on your computer. NOTE: please use the conventional ".doc" format, rarher than ".docx", in MS Word.

(1) The complete manuscript (abstract, text, references, illustrations, tables) in a single PDF for reviewer use. We strongly advised using reduced graphics, to keep the PDF document from being inconveniently large. Note that if the manuscript is accepted, full-sized graphics can be uploaded to your submitted paper in Micro Man.

(2) A separate copy of the abstract, as a MS Word document, for use in soliciting reviews.

(3) A separate copy of the text alone, as a MS Word document (in .doc, not .docx), for the convenience of reviewer comments. NOTE: ornamental fonts and book-style formats, forced hyphens, embedded illustrations, and hidden data links created by "Ibid.", "End Notes" or other utilities, should be removed before submittal.

(4) A cover letter for the editor's private information. This describes the submittal, identifies the corresponding author, and gives any other details about schedule, alternate addresses, and so forth. The cover letter may also include suggestions (pro or con) in regard to reviewers.

For technical problems with submittals, contact the editors at Micropaleontology Press.
