Instructions to Authors
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the review and publication of your paper is as swift and efficient as possible. These notes may be copied freely. Aims and Scope International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is an international forum for the publication of research into the structure of natural macromolecules. It presents the latest findings of studies on the molecular structure, function and interaction of proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, viruses and membranes. The scope includes: conformational studies, molecular associations, interactions and functional properties, related model systems, new techniques and theoretical developments.Submissions Contributions falling into the following categories will be considered for publication: Original high-quality research papers (preferably no more than 20 double line spaced manuscript pages, including tables and illustrations). Short communications, for rapid publication (no more than 10 double line spaced manuscript pages including tables and figures) International Journal of Biological Macromolecules also publishes book reviews, conference reports and a calendar of forthcoming events. Contributions are normally received with the understanding that they comprise original, unpublished material and are not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Translated material, which has not been published in English, will also be considered. All submissions should be accompanied by a written declaration, signed by all authors, that the paper has not been submitted for consideration elsewhere. Authors are solely responsible for the factual accuracy of their papers. The receipt of manuscripts will be acknowledged.Address for submission: Editorial Office, International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Attn: Ms. D. Dunne, Elsevier NL, Life Sciences, PO Box 1527, 1000 BM Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Any queries regarding accepted papers, proofs or reprints should be addressed to Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd., Elsevier House, Brookvale Plaza, East Park, Shannon, Co. Clare, Ireland.Review processPlease see the Letter from the Editors or Editorial Statement on this website, which was also published in Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 27 (2000) 1.All contributions are read by two or more referees to ensure both accuracy and relevance, and revisions to the script may thus be required. On acceptance, contributions are subject to editorial amendment to suit house style. When a manuscript is returned for revision prior to final acceptance, the revised version must be submitted as soon as possible after the author's receipt of the referee's reports. Revised manuscripts returned after four months will be considered as new submissions subject to full re-review.Copyright The submission of a paper will imply that, if accepted for publication, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the publisher. Before publication, authors are requested to assign Copyright to Elsevier Science B.V. to sanction reprints and photocopies, and to authorize the reprinting of complete issues or volumes according to demand. It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission to quote material that has appeared in another publication.Electronic manuscripts Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs. For the initial submission of manuscripts for consideration, hardcopies are sufficient. For the processing of accepted papers, electronic versions are preferred. After final acceptance, your disk plus two final and exactly matching printed versions should be submitted together. Double density (DD) or high density (HD) diskettes are acceptable. It is important that the file saved is in the native format of the wordprocessor program used. Label the disk with the name of the computer and wordprocessing package used, your name, and the name of the file on the disk. Further information may be obtained from the Publisher.Preparation of scripts You should write in clear and concise English. Spelling should follow the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors whose native tongue is not English are assured that in-house editorial attention to their contributions will improve clarity and acceptability to readers. Four copies of each article are required,typed on one side of A4 only, in double spacing (including abstract and references) and with wide margins. Please number every sheet of paper. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all manuscripts (whether original or revised) are accurately typed before final submission. Manuscripts will be returned to the authors with a set of instructions if they are not presented to these Instructions to Authors.Authors in Japan Upon request, Elsevier Science Japan will provide authors with a list of people who can check and improve the English of their paper (before submission). Please contact our Tokyo office: Elsevier Science Japan, 20-12 Yushima 3-chome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113; Tel. (03) 3833-3821; Fax (03) 3836-3064.Arrangement of papers You should arrange your contribution in the following order:The paper title should be short, specific and informative. All author's names and affiliations should be clearly indicated. Please indicate also which author will deal with correspondence and supply full postal address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Self contained abstract of approximately 100 words, outlining in a single paragraph the aims, scope and conclusions of the paper; three keywords, for indexing purposes;The text suitably divided under headings.Acknowledgments (if any).References (double spaced, and following the journal style).Appendices (if any).Tables (each on a separate sheet).Captions to illustrations (grouped on a separate sheet or sheets).Illustrations, each on a separate sheet containing no text, and clearly labelled with the journal title, author's name and illustration number.Style of text Subdivide your paper in the simplest way possible, consistent with clarity. The text should usually follow the standard sequence of Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion. Headings and subheadings for different sections of the paper should be clearly indicated. Main section headings, with the exception of Abstract, Acknowledgments and References should be numbered. Ensure that all figures and tables are mentioned in the text, and that all references are cited in number order. Note that trade names should have an initial capital letter.Units and abbreviations All measurements and data should be given in SI units, or if SI units do not exist, in an internationally accepted unit. If you use any symbol or unit that may not be generally recognized, please include an explanatory footnote the first time it is used, to help the referees, editors and readers. It is also helpful to identify Greek symbols by name in the margin the first time they appear. Abbreviations and acronyms should only be used for unwieldy terms and names which occur frequently in the manuscript. Abbreviations should be used consistently throughout the text, and must be clearly defined in full on first use.Mathematical and technical setting Detailed mathematical discussion should be placed in an appendix. Equations and formulae should be typewritten wherever possible. Equations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right hand side of the page. Special symbols should be identified in the margin, and the meaning of all symbols should be explained in the text where they first occur. If you use several symbols, a list of definitions (not necessarily for publication) will help the editor. Type or mark mathematical equations exactly as they should appear in print. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: variables, italic type (indicated by underlining); constants, roman type; matrices and vectors, bold type (indicated by wavy underlining).Tables Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals, and given a suitable caption. All table columns should have an explanatory heading, and, where appropriate, units of measurement. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table, and should be referred to by superscript letters. Avoid the use of vertical rules. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, e.g. in graphs.Illustrations All graphs, photographs, diagrams and other drawings (including chemical structures) should be referred to as Figures, and numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. All illustrations must be clearly labelled with the journal title, author's name and figure number. Figures should be provided in camera ready form, suitable for reproduction without retouching. They will be photographically reduced in size, typically to fit one or two columns of the journal (approximately 85 or 175 mm), and this should be borne in mind to ensure that lines and lettering remain clear and do not break up on reduction. After reduction, lettering should be approximately the same size as the type used for the text in the journal. Please ensure that all illustrations within a paper are consistent in style and quality. A table is usually more effective than a graph or a paragraph of text for recording data.Graphs and line drawings The minimum amount of descriptive text should be used on graphs and drawings; label curves, etc. with single-letter symbols (i.e. a,b,c etc.) and place descriptive matter in the figure legend. Scale grids should not be used in graphs unless required for actual measurements. Please use a selection of the following symbols on graphs: +,x,□,o, . Graph axes should be labelled with the variable written out in full, along the length of the axis, with the unit in parentheses (for example, Length of sample (mm)). Lower case letters should be used throughout, with an initial capital letter for the first word only. If your illustrations are computer generated, please supply the blackest possible laser output.Photographs Supply four sets of black and white prints. If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.Colour illustrations Authors wishing to have illustrations reproduced in colour should supply large, high quality prints (four sets) on submission. Illustrations will be approved for publication in colour only if, in the opinion of the Editors, the figures convey information not apparent in Black and White. Authors will normally be expected to bear the additional incremental reproduction and printing costs.References In the text, indicate references to the literature by superior Arabic numerals enclosed between square brackets, running consecutively through the paper. If you cite a reference more than once in the text, use the same number each time. References should follow the style in the journal. Please ensure that references are complete, i.e. that they include, where relevant, author's name, journal or book title, year of publication, volume number, page number, editors, publishers and place of publication. If in doubt, please include all available information. Take care that references are mentioned in the text in the correct number order.Proofs Correspondence and proofs for correction will be sent to the first named author unless otherwise indicated. Proofs should be checked carefully for typesetting errors, and any queries should be answered in full. It is important that proofs are returned within the time stated as otherwise the proof may be passed for publication with house corrections only. Authors may be charged for any alterations other than typesetting errors.Reprints The corresponding author will receive 25 reprints of the paper free of charge. Extra copies of reprints, minimum 100 can be ordered. The order form, which will be sent with the proofs, must be completed and returned with the corrected proofs, even if only the 25 free reprints are required. If this is not done, all reprints subsequently ordered will be charged in full.
