Instructions to Authors
Submission
Disk Submission Instructions Wiley's Journal Styles and EndNote
Submission of your manuscripts and all editorial correspondence should be sent by first-class or air mail, or by e-mail to the Editor-in-Chief, Ralph B.L. Gwatkin rbg@po.cwru.edu , or to one of the Executive Editors, who have agreed to receive papers in their specified areas. When sending a manuscript to an Executive Editor, please send a copy of the title page of the manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief. The manuscript should be typed, double-spaced, on one side of white bond paper (approximately 8 1/2" x 11") with generous margins. Begin each section on a separate page. Number all pages in sequence beginning with the title page. Submit the original and two copies of all elements arranged in the following order:
Title page. This should contain an informative title, the names and affiliations of all authors, the institution at which the work was performed, the name and address for all correspondence, telephone, telex or fax number, and a short running title.
Abstract. This should be a factual condensation of the entire work and should include statements of the problem, method of study, results, and conclusions. The abstract may not exceed 250 words.
Key words. Supply a list of three to six key words (not in the title) which will appear below the abstract and be included in the index at the end of the volume.
Text. Text should follow the format: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgments, and References. Authors whose first language is not English should arrange for their manuscripts to be written in idiomatic English prior to submission. Authors may use either English or American style; for the former, consult the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary; for the latter, consult Merriam-Webster's. All unusual abbreviations must be defined. All measurements are to be in metric units.
References.

In the text, references should be cited by the name and date system (when there are more than two authors, use only the first name and (et al.). In the final list, they should be in alphabetical order, and chronological for more than one reference with the same authorship. Use a letter suffix if more than one author reference is for the same year. Begin each reference with the names of all authors and the year of publication. For references to journals, give titles of articles in full, abbreviate journal names according to the system used by Index Medicus, and provide inclusive pagination. For references to books, include all authors' names, chapter title (if any), editor (if any), book title, city of publication, publisher's name, and year of publication. In the following examples, note the punctuation; do not use all capitals, do not underline:
Journal articles Aitken RJ, Harkiss D, Buckingham DW. 1993. Analysis of lipid peroxidation mechanisms in human spermatozoa. Mol Reprod Dev 35:302-315.
Books Wagner RP, Maguire MP, Stallings RL. 1993. Chromosomes: A Synthesis. New York: Wiley-Liss. pp 1-182.
Chapters in books Erickson RP. 1993. Molecular genetics of mammalian spermatogenesis. In Gwatkin RBL, editor. Genes in Mammalian Reproduction. New York: Wiley-Liss. pp 21-26.
Tables. Each table must have a self-explanatory title, be numbered in order of appearance with arabic numerals, and be keyed into the text.
Legends. A descriptive legend must accompany each illustration, so that it can be understood apart from the text, and must define all abbreviations used therein.
Illustrations. Illustrations should be numbered in one consecutive series using arabic numerals, and keyed into the text. Name of author, figure number, and an arrow indicating orientation should be typed on a gummed label and affixed to the back of each illustration. Line drawings must be of high quality; typewritten or hand lettering is unacceptable. Either the original drawings or good quality photographic prints are acceptable. Photographs should be high contrast, glossy prints. Photographs may be submitted mounted or unmounted; if mounted they may abut. Magnifications may be indicated by a micron bar or in the legend. Photographs that are to be reproduced without further reduction must be so marked. Photomicrographs will not be reduced unless they exceed the size of a page. Four-color illustrations will be considered for publication. However, the author will be required to bear the cost of their publication. The charge for one page of color is $950. Second, and subsequent pages, up to four, will cost $500 each. The color slide should be supplied, in addition to color prints.
Minireviews. Submission of minireviews is encouraged. Please send them to the Executive Editor of Reviews, Dr. Daniel A. Rappolee, Dept. of Cell & Molecular Biology, Northwestern University Medical School, 303 E. Chicago St., Tarry Building, Rm. 4-725, T227, Chicago, IL 60611-3008. He will have them reviewed. The subject matter should be a new concept, an area of contreversy or a novel interpretation of data. Reviews should be limited to 4,000 words and 40 references and need not include an abstract. Figures should be essential and effective.
All Manuscripts submitted to Molecular Reproduction and Development must be submitted solely to this journal, may not have been published in any part or form (except as an abstract for a meeting) in another publication of any type, professional or lay, and become the property of the publisher. Upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, the author will be requested to sign an agreement transferring copyright to the publisher, who reserves copyright. No published material may be reproduced or published elsewhere without the written permission of the publisher and the author. The journal will not be responsible for the loss of manuscripts at any time. All statements in, or omissions from, published manuscripts are the responsibility of the authors, who will assist the editors by reviewing proofs before publication. Reprint order forms will be sent with page proofs. No page charges will be levied against authors or their institutions for publication in the journal.
Sequence Report To Genbank. Forms for reporting nucleic acid and amino acid sequences with GenBank will be sent to the authors of applicable papers at their request at the time their manuscripts are accepted.
Request From The Editor. To facilitate the timely processing and review of manuscripts, the editor strongly suggests that each line of each page of the manuscript be consecutively numbered, starting with the number one. Many authors use word processing equipment to prepare their manuscripts, and such equipment can be programmed easily to comply with this request.
Disk Submission Instructions
Please return your final, revised manuscript on disk as well as hard copy. The hard copy must match the disk.
The Journal strongly encourages authors to deliver the final, revised version of their accepted manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations) on disk. Given the near-universal use of computer word-processing for manuscript preparation, we anticipate that providing a disk will be convenient for you, and it carries the added advantages of maintaining the integrity of your keystrokes and expediting typesetting. Please return the disk submission slip below with your manuscript and labeled disk(s).
Guidelines for Electronic Submission
Text Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density disk in IBM MS-DOS, Windows, or Macintosh format.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript with one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists.
File names. Submit the text and tables of each manuscript as a single file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.
Labels. Label all disks with your name, the file name, and the word processing program and version used.
Illustrations All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CMYK color space. If possible, ICC or ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.
Storage medium. Submit as separate files from text files, on separate disks or cartridges. If feasible, full color files should be submitted on separate disks from other image files. 3-1/2" high-density disks, CD, Iomega Zip, and 5 1/4" 44- or 88-MB SyQuest cartridges can be submitted. At authors' request, cartridges and disks will be returned after publication.
Software and format. All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.
Resolution. Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.
File names. Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .tif, .eps).
Labels. Label all disks and cartridges with your name, the file names, formats, and compression schemes (if any) used. Hard copy output must accompany all files.
