I. General Instructions
___ Type or print manuscripts on 22 x 28 cm (8?x 11 inch) or A4 (21 x 30 cm) paper.
___ Use any standard 10 or 12 pt typeface. Do not use italic, bold, or other non-standard type. Underline words to be italicized. Do not justify right margins. Indent the first sentence of all paragraphs.
___ Double-space throughout, including title page, abstract, literature cited, tables, and figure legends.
___ Leave at least a 2.5-cm (1-inch) margin on all sides.
___ Do not hyphenate a word at the end of a sentence.
___ Number all pages sequentially.
___ Use metric units of measurement. When needed, English equivalents may be given in parentheses.
___ Abbreviations accepted without definition are listed on the inside back cover of the Journal. Designate temperature as 20 C. Define all other abbreviations the first time they are used.
___ Express ratios by using a slant line (e.g., mg/L).
___ Scientific names should accompany common names in the title and when they are first mentioned in the abstract and in the text. Authority for scientific names need not accompany the genus and species unless needed for clarity.
___ Spell out one to ten unless followed by a unit of measurement (e.g., four fish, 4 kg, 14 fish). Do not begin a sentence with a numeral. Use 1,000 instead of 1000; 0.13 instead of .13; and % instead of percent.
___ Use the 24-hour clock for dial time: 0830, not 8:30 a.m. Calendar date should be day month year (7 August 1990).
___ Each reference cited in the text must be listed in the Literature Cited section, and vice versa.
___ Literature citations in the text follow the name-and-year system.
1. One author: Jones (1994) or (Jones 1994)
2. Two authors: Smith and Jones (1994) or (Smith and Jones 1994)
3. Three or more authors: Smith et al. (1994) or (Smith et al. 1994)
4. Manuscripts accepted for publication: Jones (in press) or (Jones, in press)
5. Reference to unpublished data or personal communications is strongly discouraged. If necessary, cite as R. Ishihara (Humboldt State University, unpublished data) or R. Ishihara (Humboldt State University, personal communication).
6. Within parentheses, use a semicolon to separate multiple citations of literature and figures and tables (Smith 1991; Jones 1994) (Table 1; Fig. 2). Cite multiple references within parentheses by year, with the oldest first.
___ Use "Figure" only to start a sentence; otherwise use "Fig." or "Figs." (e.g., Fig. 5; Figs. 5, 6). Spell out "Table" in all useages.
___ Assemble the manuscript in this order: title page, abstract page, text, literature cited, tables, figure legends, figures.

II. Title Page (Page 1)
___ Near the middle of the page, type the title of the paper, centered, in capital and lower case letters (e.g., Acute Toxicity of Copper Sulfate to Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus).
___ Below the title, type the author(s) names, affiliation(s), and unabbreviated complete address(es). If the author is currently at another location, include a superscript number after the name and provide the full present address as a footnote.
___ In papers written by authors at different addresses, type the name and address of the first author, the name and address of the second author, and so on.
___ In multiauthored papers, type "Corresponding author:" and follow with the full mailing address of the author responsible for correspondence. Type this near the bottom of the page, but above any footnotes.
III. Abstract page (Page 2)
___ Type the heading "Abstract," centered, at the top of the page.
___ Abstract must be one paragraph. Do not cite references or use abbreviations other than those listed on the back cover of the Journal.
___ Be concise (normally not more than 3% of the text length) but include why you did the study, how you did it, the results of the study, and what the results mean.
___ "Communications" do not have an abstract.
IV. Text (Beginning on page 3 for full papers; on page 2 for Communications)
___ Follow general instructions in Section I.
___ Begin with an introduction that concisely establishes the purpose and importance of the work. Do not use a heading for this section.
___ Subsequent sections in the text should include centered headings in capital and lower case letters. Typical main headings are Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Acknowledgments. Do not start these sections with a new page.
___ Second level headings (if required) are centered, in capital and lower case letters, and underlined. Do not use third level headings.
___ Acknowledgments should contain grant and contribution numbers. Acknowledge only those people and institutions that contributed directly to the research or manuscript quality.
V. Literature Cited
___ Start this section at the top of a new page.
___ Verify all entries against citations in the text.
___ Verify the accuracy of all entries against the original sources, especially journal titles, authors, pages, and spelling.
___ Start the first line of each entry at the left margin and indent other lines.
___ Alphabetize entries first by the surnames of the senior authors and first word or acronym of corporate authors; second by the initials of senior authors with the same surname (e.g., Smith, B. F. precedes Smith, J. W.); and third, by the surnames of the junior authors. Single authored citations precede multiauthored works by the same senior author regardless of date. |
