About the journal
|
The Journal publishes papers on all aspects of the ecology of inland surface waters, including rivers and lakes, connected ground waters, flood plains and other wetlands. We publish studies of micro-organisms, algae, macrophytes, invertebrates, fish and other vertebrates, as well as those concerning whole systems and related physical and chemical aspects of the environment. Manuscripts with an experimental or conceptual flavour are especially welcome, as are those which integrate laboratory and field work, and studies from less well researched areas of the world.
The special section on APPLIED ISSUES focuses on issues related to management of inland waters in the face of a multitude of adverse human impacts. The Journal aims to publish good-quality applied science, papers interpreting fundamental research in a way that makes clear its applied or strategic relevance, and papers using applied research to test ecological theory.
We will consider whole SPECIAL ISSUES (or part-issues) devoted to a single theme of particular contemporary interest. They should be discussed at an early stage with the Associate Editor responsible for them (Dr Mark Gessner). Review articles (FRESHWATER BIOLOGY SPECIAL REVIEWS) and discussion papers (OPINION), whether basic or applied, are considered and aimed to enable authors to publish high-quality material outside the constraints of standard articles.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The text should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced, with ample margins.
(a) Title page. This should include the title, list of authors names, institute or laboratory of origin, name, postal address and email address of the author to whom proofs should be sent, an abbreviated title for use as a running head line and five keywords, which should be relevant for literature searching and each normally comprising not more than two words.
(b) Summary. All papers should include a summary, in short numbered paragraphs, limited to about 3% of the length of the text. This should provide a concise statement of the scope of the work and its principal findings and be fully intelligible without reference to the main text.
(c) Introduction. This should contain a clear statement of the reason for doing the work, outlining essential background information but should not include either the results or conclusions.
(d) Methods. This should be concise but provide sufficient details to allow the work to be repeated.
(e) Results. This should not include material appropriate to the Discussion.
(f) Discussion. This should highlight the significance of the results and place them in the context of other work.
(g) Acknowledgments.
(h) References.
(i) Tables.
(j) Figure legends.
(k) Illustrations. The original drawings should not be sent until the Editor requests them.
SCIENTIFIC NAMES
The complete scientific name (genus, species and authority) should be cited for every organism when first mentioned except that the authority should not be given in the title or summary. Tables are often useful in collating specific names and, if used in this way, should be referred to early in the text. Subsequent to its first appearance in the text, the generic name may be abbreviated to an initial except where intervening references to other genera would cause confusion. Common names of organisms, if used, must be accompanied by the correct scientific name on first mention. Latin names should be italicized.
ABBREVIATIONS AND UNITS
Full names with uncommon abbreviations must be given with the first mention; new abbreviations should be coined only for unwieldy names and should not be used at all unless the names occur frequently. In the title and summary unusual abbreviations should be identified, in the introduction and discussion they should be used sparingly. SI units are preferred. Contributors should consult the Royal Society pamphlet Quantities, Units and Symbols (1975) and the IBP pamphlet Quantities Units and Symbols for IBP Synthesis (1975).
TABLES, FIGURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
Each table must be typed on a separate sheet, with a fully informative caption as a heading. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Electronic tables should be provided in an editable format (.rtf or .doc). All illustrations (including photographs) are classified as figures and should be numbered consecutively.
Figures and their lettering/numbering should be suitable for 50% reduction and should be drawn or grouped so that on reduction they will fit within the type area (165 ¡Á 220 mm). Where parts of figures need to be identified, lower case letters should be used.
Authors are encouraged to submit artwork electronically where possible. Please save vector graphics (e.g. line artwork) in Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPS), and bitmap files (e.g. half-tones) in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). Halftones should have a resolution of at least 300 d.p.i. and line drawings at least 800 d.p.i. Ideally, vector graphics that have been saved in metafile (.WMF) or pict (.PCT) format should be embedded within the body of the text file. Even when electronic material is available original drawings, good glossy prints or laser printed diagrams should also be provided for the printers in case the electronic file is unreadable. Please see our guidelines here.
Any hand-drawn figures should be in Indian ink on good-quality drawing paper, strong tracing paper or feint-ruled graph paper, not bigger than A4 size.
Legends to figures should be typed in sequence on a separate sheet. In the full-text online edition of the journal, legends may be truncated in abbreviated links to the full screen version. Therefore the first 100 characters of any legend should inform the reader of key aspects of the figure.
Each table and figure should have the authors name and the number written on the back in pencil.
The approximate position of table and figures should be indicated in the margin of the typescript.
COLOUR ILLUSTRATIONS
It is the policy of Freshwater Biology for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour artwork. Therefore, please note that if there is colour artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, Blackwell Publishing require you to complete and return a colour work agreement form before your paper can be published. This form can be downloaded as a PDF* here. If you are unable to download the form, please contact the Production Editor at: Production Editor ¨C Freshwater Biology, Blackwell Publishing, 23 Ainslie Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6AJ, UK and they will be able to email or FAX a form to you.

REFERENCES
References should be made by giving the authors name with the year of publication in parentheses. When reference is made to a work by three authors all names should be given when cited for the first time and thereafter using only the first name and adding et al.; for four or more authors the first name followed by et al. should be used on all occasions. If several papers by the same author and from the same year are cited, a, b, c, etc., should be put after the year of publication. References should be listed in alphabetical order at the end of the paper in the following standard form:
Seddon B. (1972) Aquatic macrophytes as limnological indicators. Freshwater Biology, 2, 107-130.
Titles of journals should not be abbreviated. Unpublished material, except for PhD theses, should not be included among the references.
DISKS
The editor will request submission of accepted articles, including any artwork (see above), on disk. Text should be submitted in an edtable format, e.g. .rtf or .doc. An accurate hardcopy, including figures, must accompany each disk, together with details of the type of computer used, the software employed, and the disk system if known (a form will be supplied for the submission of such information). Particular attention should be taken to ensure that articles submitted in this way adhere exactly to the journal style in all respects.
