About the journal
Astrobiology brings together research scientists from around the world to advance our understanding of life's origin, evolution, distribution, and destiny in the universe. Published in print and online. This international journal provides a forum for those scientists who define the future of astrobiology. Its purview includes meteoritics, cosmochemistry, gravitational biology, planetary geology and habitability, exobiology, microbial paleobiology, ecogeology, origins of life, bioastronomy, and life detection and space exploration technology. Relevant papers from microbial ecology, genomics, computational biology, and proteomics are included. The journal contains original research papers and reviews. Indexed in Index Medicus/MEDLINE, Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology and Environmental Sciences, Current Contents/Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences, GeoRef, Astrophysics Data System, Science Citation Index-Expanded, ISI Alerting Services.
Instructions to Authors
Astrobiology brings together research scientists from around the world to advance theories and methodologies regarding the origins of life, the distribution and evolution of life, and the ways in which life interacts with its environment. Topics include astrophysics, astropaleontology, bioastronomy, cosmochemistry, ecogenomics, exobiology, extremophile ecology, gravitational biology, life detection technology, meteoritics, planetary geoscience, planetary protection, prebiotic chemistry, space exploration technology, and terraforming. Goals and objectives of this multidisciplinary science are discussed in an article by Senior Editor David Morrison in Astrobiology Volume 1, Issue 1 (available at www.liebertpub.com).
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
Research Article Submit the entire manuscript, including references, tables, and figure legends, double-spaced with ample margins (1.5 inches) on both sides, and top and bottom, either electronically or by courier express mail service. The review process will be expedited by sending electronically the complete manuscript, including figures and tables, via e-mail to cadys@pdx.edu, and this is strongly encouraged. Preferred file formats include MS Word (.doc), Excel (.xls), PDF, Photoshop (.eps), JPG, TIF, and GIF. Do not imbed artwork into submitted manuscript files, but send figures in a separate file compatible with either PDF, or MS Word. Authors of manuscripts accepted for publication will need to provide a complete set of camera ready prints of figures and tables (see Tables and Figures for details). Submit manuscripts via courier or express mail by sending one original plus three copies, three sets of the original figures, and the entire text of the manuscript on a 3.5-inch disk, 100mb zip or CD, in PC or Macintosh format (Microsoft Word) to: Associate Professor Sherry L. Cady, Portland State University; Department of Geology, 17 Cramer Hall, 1721 S.W. Broadway, Portland, OR 97201; or P.O. Box 751, Portland, OR 97207-0751; Phone: (503) 725-3377; Fax: (503) 725-3025; e-mail cadys@pdx.edu. Specific manuscript formatting is as follows: on the first page, give the title of the article, the full name(s) of all author(s), institutional affiliation(s), the name (with complete address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address) to whom correspondence should be directed, a running title of no more than 40 characters (including spaces), and 3-5 keywords or phrases. On the second page, supply an Abstract of about 200 words, stating the aims, results, and conclusions drawn from the study. This should be followed by the Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments, References, Tables, Figure Legends, and Figures. Results and Discussion should be separate sections. Number pages consecutively, with the first author's last name also appearing on each page. Authors should review the style and clarity of their manuscripts with colleagues before submission. Please follow the protocol described herein to avoid delay in publication. Authors should note that manuscripts may be edited if needed to ensure clear grammatical English usage and make it accessible to a wider readership. The editors welcome suggestions concerning potential reviewers.
Reviews and Invited Mini-Review Articles Please send review papers to S.L. Cady, E-mail: cadys@pdx.edu. Author's interested in contributing Mini-Review articles should contact John A. Baross, School of Oceanography, Box 357940, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, Tel: 206-543-0833, Fax: 206-543-0275, E-mail: jbaross@u.washington.edu. Mini-Reviews are generally invited by the editors, but unsolicited mini-reviews will be considered.
Book Reviews Please send review copies of books to David Grinspoon, Principal Scientist, Southwest Research Institute, 1050 Walnut St., Suite 429, Boulder, CO 80302 USA; Tel: 303-546-6863, E-mail: david@boulder.swri.edu. Book reviews are generally commissioned by the editors, but unsolicited reviews will be considered. Ideas for books to be reviewed are welcome and may be sent to david@boulder.swri.edu. Book Reviews should be less than 1500 words in length.
Rapid Communications, Hypothesis and Education Articles Submissions of Rapid Communications, Hypothesis and Education Articles are also welcome. A Rapid Communication should communicate new scientific or methodological information in the field of astrobiology. It should be divided as follows: Abstract (no more than 200 words), Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion (please note that for Brief Reports, the Results and Discussion sections can be fused), Acknowledgments, References, Tables, Figure Legends, and Figures. The whole report should be composed of no more than four journal pages (about 3,000 words), including Tables and Figures.
Hypothesis Papers should communicate succinctly the basis of the author¡¯s hypothesis to encourage discussion and creative hypothesis testing by members of the scientific community. Though page limits are not imposed on Hypothesis Articles, authors are encouraged to submit reports no longer than four journal pages (about 3000 words). The papers should be organized as follows: Abstract (no more than 200 words), Introduction and Hypothesis, Experimental Work supporting hypothesis, Additional Arguments in support of hypothesis, Implications, Acknowledgments, References, Tables, Figure Legends, and Figures.
Education Articles should communicate topics of interest to scientists involved in Education, Outreach, and Training components of astrobiological research. Authors should contact Senior Editor David Morrison (david.morrison@arc.nasa.gov) regarding the appropriateness of their paper¡¯s contents and organization. For general rules regarding all types of manuscripts, please follow the guidelines given for Research Articles.
TABLES and FIGURES Type each table with its caption on a separate sheet of paper. Use Arabic numerals to number tables. Do not repeat information that is given in the text, and do not make a table for data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences. Original glossy photographs or slides for all figures must be supplied with the manuscript. (Photocopies cannot be used for reproduction.) All illustrations should be numbered and bear the first author's name on a label attached to the back. Do not write on the backs of prints, use paper clips, or deface the prints in any way. The top of the figure should be indicated, and a legend should be supplied for each illustration. All figure legends should be numbered consecutively and typed (double-spaced). Figures should be numbered in the order cited in the text. Illustration text should be no smaller than 10 point Helvetica when reproduced 1 to 1 in the journal (column width 8cm, page width 16.5cm. A complete, separately collated set of camera ready figures should be submitted with each copy of the manuscript. Figures may also be submitted on disk. Clearly label the disk with the name and version of the program used and accompany it with hard copies of each figure. Be sure the disk contains only the required illustrations, with each figure clearly identified.

If more than one paper by the same author(s) and year is cited use a lower case letter designation to indicate the individual paper [for example: (Smith, 1984a)]. Use the same designation in the reference list. The reference list should be double-spaced and in alphabetical order at the end of the article. Each reference should include a complete list of authors and the complete title of the cited article, as follows:
