IODP³ scientific ocean drilling expeditions

• Scientific Prospectus: scientific prospectus papers cover the expedition background and objectives; drilling, coring, and logging strategies; proposed drill site descriptions; expedition risks and contingency planning; and sample and data sharing strategies. They outline how the expedition contributes to the vision provided by the "2050 Science Framework: Exploring Earth by Scientific Ocean Drilling". A scientific prospectus is typically published 1 year before an expedition and forms the basis for calls for the scientific community to participate in the expedition. The title of these papers must be formatted as follows: IODP³ Expedition XXX "title of the expedition": Scientific Prospectus. Here, "XXX" and "title of the expedition" need to be replaced by the corresponding expedition number and title (e.g. IODP³ Expedition 502 "Impact of petit-spot magmatism on subduction zone seismicity and the global geochemical cycle": Scientific Prospectus).
• Expedition Summary: an expedition summary expands the scientific background and expedition objectives defined in the scientific prospectus; describes drilling, coring, and logging operations; presents principal standard measurements results for each drilling/coring site; and assesses the achievement of expedition objectives. It is typically published 2 months after the end of expedition operations. The title of these papers must be formatted as follows: IODP³ Expedition XXX "title of the expedition": Expedition Summary. Here, "XXX" and "title of the expedition" need to be replaced by the corresponding expedition number and title.
• Methods: this manuscript describes shipboard measurement methods. It is published at the end of the one-year data moratorium at the same time as the site reports. The title must be formatted as follows: IODP³ Expedition XXX "title of the expedition": Methods. Here, "XXX" and "title of the expedition" need to be replaced by the corresponding expedition number and title with the main words starting with a capital letter.
• Site Reports: these manuscripts are individual site reports. Each site report presents the site operations and shipboard results for core descriptions and micropaleontology/biostratigraphy, organic and inorganic geochemistry, microbiology, paleomagnetism, and physical properties analyses, plus downhole measurements and other disciplines, as applicable. The site reports are published at the end of the one-year data moratorium at the same time as the methods. The title must be formatted as follows: IODP³ Expedition XXX "title of the expedition": Site YYYY. Here, "XXX" and "title of the expedition" need to be replaced by the corresponding expedition number and title with the main words starting with a capital letter, and "YYYY" needs to be replaced by the site number.
• Data Reports: this paper type presents (1) data sets from new shore-based analyses of samples from cores collected during the expedition and (2) synthesis papers, which review and synthesize expedition research or results. Results should be presented and briefly described without detailed interpretation, and the associated datasets should be appended in an accessible format (e.g. as Excel spreadsheets) and/or made openly accessible in an online data repository (e.g. PANGAEA). The submission period for scientific ocean drilling expedition data reports begins at the end of the 1-year data moratorium and lasts for 3 years (36 months). The title of these papers must be formatted as follows: IODP³ Expedition XXX "title of the expedition" Data Report: "title of the data report". Here, "XXX" and "title of the expedition" need to be replaced by the corresponding expedition number and title, and "title of the data report" needs to be replaced by its title.

IODP³ SPARC expeditions

• Scientific Prospectus: the scientific prospectus outlines the scientific background to the SPARC, its objectives and how they relate to the ambitions of the 2050 Science Framework, the scientific ocean drilling legacy resources planned to be used by the SPARC, the analytical techniques and methods planned to be employed, sampling and data collection strategies, risks and contingency planning, and plans for sample and data sharing. It is published immediately after funding for the SPARC is confirmed and forms the basis for calls for the scientific community to participate in the SPARC. The title of these papers must be formatted as follows: IODP³ SPARC Expedition XXXS "title of the expedition": Scientific Prospectus. Here, "XXXS" and "title of the expedition" need to be replaced by the corresponding expedition number and title.
• Expedition Summary: the expedition summary expands upon the background and SPARC objectives defined in the scientific prospectus, describes interdisciplinary methodological approaches employed, presents principal results obtained to date, and assesses progress towards achieving the SPARC objectives. It is published no later than 18 months after the SPARC start date. The title of these papers must be formatted as follows: IODP³ SPARC Expedition XXXS "title of the expedition": Expedition Summary. Here, "XXXS" and "title of the expedition" need to be replaced by the corresponding expedition number and title.
• Data Reports: these papers present the new data produced during the 3-year funded SPARC period. Results should be organized logically by discipline into individual data reports, with each describing the context and rationale for the analyses undertaken, including an outline of the specific method(s) employed. Results should be presented and briefly described without detailed interpretation, and the associated datasets should be appended in an accessible format (e.g. as Excel spreadsheets) and/or made available in an open-access online data repository (e.g. PANGAEA). The submission period for SPARC data reports begins immediately after publication of the SPARC summary and ends 6 months after the 3-year funded SPARC period. The title of these papers must be formatted as follows: IODP³ SPARC Expedition XXXS "title of the expedition" Data Report: "title of data report". Here, "XXXS" and "title of the expedition" need to be replaced by the corresponding expedition number and title, and the "title of the data report" needs to be replaced by its title.

Corrigenda

Corrigenda correct errors in preceding papers. The manuscript title reads as follows: Corrigendum to "TITLE" published in JOURNAL, VOLUME, PAGES, YEAR. Please note that corrigenda are only possible for final revised journal papers and not for the corresponding preprints. Corrigenda have to be submitted to Copernicus Publications within 3 years from the publication date of the original journal article. Should there be reasons for publishing a second corrigendum within these 3 years, the first one will be substituted by a single new corrigendum containing all relevant corrections.
