About the journal
Since its inception in 1926, The Quarterly Review of Biology has presented insightful historical, philosophical, and technical treatments of important biological topics. The QRB also provides educators, students, and biological researchers with authoritative articles, theoretical papers, comprehensive book reviews, and timely assessments of the life sciences in a convenient and economical format.
Frequency: quarterly. Volume 77 begins March 2002. ISSN: 0033-5770. 170 pages/issue.
Instructions to Authors
The review articles published by The Quarterly Review of Biology are intended primarily for the informed general biologist. Manuscripts should both present a summary and critical evaluation of significant investigations and provide suggestions for further research. Theoretical papers should clearly identify the focus of study, review the relevant literature, and develop approaches to new levels of understanding.
An article should be written in concise and sufficiently nontechnical language to be intelligible both to general biologists and to specialists in other fields. Interpretive diagrams are desirable. Since space is severely limited, most articles longer than 20 journal pages (approximately 50 double-spaced manuscript pages or their equivalent in bibliographic or illustrative matter) will be returned for shortening. An article must be preceded by a brief abstract that summarizes the principal conclusions of the paper. In most matters of style, conformity to the guidelines in Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, Sixth Edition, published by Cambridge University Press (40 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211) is recommended.
Recent issues should be used as a model for style with respect to (1) section headings in the text, (2) literature citations in the text, and (3) list of references; a detailed set of instructions may be requested from the journal office. If possible, lines should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript. Reference citations should be limited to those essential for documenting specific statements. Journal titles used in the references section should not be abbreviated. Each entry should give the full title and inclusive page numbers of the article cited. Authors should provide photocopies of all quoted passages, including page numbers. Footnotes to textual material are not permitted, but explanatory material of special interest may be set off in the text in small print. Send glossy prints of illustrations, but do not send original artwork unless requested to do so.
Authors who acknowledge assistance by a funding agency with a policy of publication support will be expected to meet charges of $40 per journal page for each of the first 20 journal pages. Authors not supported by funding agencies and authors of invited articles are eligible for 20 free journal pages. All authors are charged $80 for each page above 20.
An original and two copies of all articles submitted for consideration should be sent to:
The Editors
The Quarterly Review of Biology
C-2615 Frank Melville Jr Memorial Library
State University of New York
Stony Brook, NY 11794-3349
Manuscripts should be accompanied by a computer disk containing the article in IBM-compatible format.
