About the journal
|
BioControl is the official journal of the International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC). It includes original papers on basic and applied research in all aspects of biological control of invertebrate, vertebrate and weed pests, and plant diseases. Subject areas covered in BioControl comprise biology and ecology of organisms for biological control, and various facets of their use including any biological means of control for integrated pest management (IPM) such as plant resistance, pheromones and intercropping. Interdisciplinary papers with a global perspective on the use of biological control in integrated pest management systems are strongly encouraged.
Developments in molecular biology and biotechnology that have direct relevance to biological control will also be considered for publication. Organisms covered by BioControl include parasitoids, invertebrate and vertebrate predators of pest animals and plants, mites, plant and insect pathogens, nematodes, and weeds. In addition to original research papers, BioControl also publishes forum papers and reviews (solicited by the Editor-in-Chief), Letters to the Editor on critical issues, and research notes relevant to biological control |

Instructions to Authors
Online Manuscript Submission
BioControl has a fully web-enabled manuscript submission and review system. This system offers authors the option of tracking in real time the review process of their manuscripts. The online manuscript and review system offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures. It supports a wide range of submission file formats, including Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTeX for article text and TIFF, EPS, PS, GIF, JPEG and PPT for figures. PDF is not a recommended format.
Manuscripts should be submitted to:
http://bico.edmgr.com
Authors are requested to download the Consent to Publish and Transfer of Copyright form from this system. Please send a completed and signed form either by mail or fax to the BioControl Office.
NOTE: By using the online manuscript submission and review system, it is NOT necessary to submit the manuscript also as printout + disk. In case you encounter any difficulties while submitting your manuscript online, please get in touch with the responsible Editorial Assistant by clicking on "CONTACT US" from the toolbar.
Electronic figures
Electronic versions of your figures must be supplied. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format. The following resolutions are optimal: line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is. Colour figures can be submitted in the RGB colour system. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier and Helvetica.
Colour figures
Colour figures may be printed at the author¡¯s expense. Please indicate at submission which figures should be printed in colour, the number of colour pages you prefer and to which address we can send the invoice. In addition, please specify if figures are to appear together on a colour page. Our standard prices are: for one page € 795, for two pages € 1250, for three pages € 1480 and for each subsequent page an additional € 230.
Language
We appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language is corrected before submission. This will greatly improve the legibility of your paper if English is not your first language.
Manuscript presentation
The journal's language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be printed or typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving adequate margins on all sides to allow reviewers' remarks. Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
- article type
- title
- author(s)
- affiliation(s)
- full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Key Words
Please provide 5 to 10 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations and their explanations should be collected in a list.
Article TypesOriginal research papers are full length papers describing original research or a novel hypothesis. A concise presentation is encouraged; the paper should not exceed 25 pages of double-spaced typed text (including abstract, tables, figures and references). One double-spaced typed page contains approximately 300--350 words.
Forum papers aim to stimulate discussion and debate, particularly by presenting new ideas and by suggesting alternative interpretations to the more formal research papers published in BioControl and elsewhere.
Reviews are normally by invitation from the Editor-in-Chief, or by an Associate Editor. However, authors are encouraged to submit a tentative title and a table of contents of a proposed review for consideration. These reviews should not exceed 40 pages of double-spaced typed text (including abstract, tables, figures and references).
Letters to the Editor usually on matters of general concern to biocontrol research, are welcome but should not exceed 4 typed pages. Examples of topics for such letters include solutions to long-standing problems, exposure of significant contradictions, responses to a hypothesis or other letters to the editors published in BioControl. The decision to publish submitted letters rests purely with the Editor-in-Chief.
Research Notes are concise, but complete, descriptions of limited investigations which will not be included in a later paper. Research Notes should be as completely documented, both by reference to the literature and description of the experimental procedures employed, as a regular paper. They should not occupy more than 6 printed pages (about 12 manuscript pages, including figures, tables, etc.).
Symbols and Units
SI units should be used, e.g.: mg, g, km, k, cm, mm, ppm, 1 (litre), ml, s (second), min (minute), h (hour), mol, kg per ha or kg. The minus index form is always to be used in tables. If a non-standard abbreviation is to be used extensively, it should be defined in full in the abbreviations section.
Nomenclature
Authors should adhere to the rules governing biological nomenclature, as laid down in the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria, and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. All biotica (crops, plants, insects, birds, mammals, etc.) should be identified by their scientific names including authors (and Order: Family, when appropriate) when the English term is first used in the main text, with the exception of common domestic plants and animals.
Please relate to scientific names as follows:
a) In the TITLE only give the Latin name but NO authority or (Order: Family)
b) In the ABSTRACT all Latin names should be accompanied with the correct authority and if applicable with (Order: Family)
c) In addition, at the FIRST MENTION in the body of the text - and only then - these data should be given
d) The order, family of the most important organisms in the paper (e.g. those referred to in the title), should also go in the KEYWORDS list. Please give the genetic text again in full, anywhere in the text where there is likely to be ambiquity.
Section Headings
First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable but not numbered.
Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
Notes
Please use endnotes only. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.
Cross-Referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by 'et al.'. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like 'a' and 'b' after the date to distinguish the works. Examples:
Winograd (1986, p. 204)
(Winograd, 1986a,b)
(Winograd, 1986; Flores et al., 1988)
(Bullen and Bennett, 1990)
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.
References
References to books, journal articles, articles in collections and conference or workshop proceedings, and technical reports should be listed at the end of the article in alphabetical order. Articles in preparation or articles submitted for publication, unpublished observations, personal communications, etc. should not be included in the reference list but should only be mentioned in the article text (e.g., T. Moore, personal communication).
