About the journal

  
     TAXON is the journal of the International Association for Plant Taxonomy and is devoted to systematic and evolutionary biology with emphasis on botany. It is published quarterly by the International Bureau for Plant Taxonomy and Nomenclature, Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, Rennweg 14, A-1030 Wien, AUSTRIA. Details of page charges are given in the
Guidelines for authors. Papers will be reviewed by at least two specialists.

TAXON is providing authors the opportunity to store in electronic form supplementary data too bulky or too technical to be included in the printed version of their article. All such data will be maintained as separate files on the IAPT Web site either linked to the article summary or to the article page listed in the TAXON index.

 

Submission and review process.

 

 ¡ª All contributions submitted for publication in Taxon must be sent to the Editor-in-chief of Taxon (Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, Rennweg 14, 1030 Vienna, AUSTRIA), or to a member of the Editorial board (see inside cover of journal or IAPT website). Items for book reviews are to be sent directly to the column editor, Rudi Schmid. Manuscripts must be written in English and are to be submit-ted in electronic form (preferable) or hardcopy (three copies). Electronic versions should be provided for text and tables in Word-compatible formats (.doc), .txt or .rtf-files, for figures as pdf or tif files and can be sent as e-mail attachments [editors@iapt-taxon. org], on floppy discs, CD ROMs, or ZIP cartridges. All material must be double-spaced, including summary and literature cited, with margins of at least 3 cm on all sides of the page. Pages should be numbered consecutively. When submitting manuscripts elec-tronically, authors can either send separate text and figure files or a single text file with embedded figures. Final versions of manu-scripts and figures are needed in a digital format with figures, fig-ure legends and tables as separate files. Full instructions can be found on p. 180. All original papers will be sent for review to 2¨C3 experts in the field; articles for the nomenclature section or papers with an important nomenclatural component will be sent after review to the Nomenclature Editor, and only after his editorial review will materials be returned to the authors. Other contributions will be reviewed by the editors. Proposals are handled by the Nomenclature Editor. Authors will be asked to modify or rewrite their texts to accommodate suggestions of the reviewers and edi-tors and to conform with requirements of Taxon.

 

Online access for tracking the manuscript review process.

 

 ¡ª Beginning May 2002, authors will be able to track the status of their manuscript via the Internet on the URL http://www.botanik.univie.ac.at/iapt/taxon/manuscripts/. Authors will receive, together with acknowledgement of receipt of their manuscript, information about the Online User and Online Password. This will enable them to access their manuscript, and to obtain information about when the manuscript has been sent and returned from the reviewers and/or editors. Reviewers and editors also will have access to the database via User and Password iden-tifications, providing them information about manuscripts for which they are in charge. Authors must not send a revised version until they have received comments from the Editors.

 Page charges. ¡ª The following page charges apply: Non-IAPT members: 4 free printed pages, then $50 per page. IAPT members and/or staff members of supporting institutions: no page charges.

 Reprint costs. ¡ª Reprints are available as free pdf files and can be downloaded from the Internet version of Taxon: login at: (www. catchword.com/rpsv/cw/iapt/00400262/) and register for Taxon online access (for detailed instructions for login at our website: http://www.botanik.univie.ac.at/iapt/taxon/index.htm, go to Taxon online. With this pdf file, an unlimited number of copies are available. Authors who are IAPT members have free access. Proposals are free for all users. Authors who are not IAPT mem-bers will receive the pdf directly from the editors (via e-mail or ftp). If hard-copy reprints are desired, they must be ordered together with the proofs. They will be billed in advance together with page charges, if any.

The following rates apply: Number of 1¨C2 3¨C4 5¨C8 9¨C12 13¨C16 +4 printed pages per 100 copies $30 $50 $80 $100 $120 $20 By submitting a contribution for publication, authors tacitly agree to (1) not submit in parallel the same manuscript to another journal, and (2) assign the copyright to the publishers of Taxon (such assignment taking effect as soon as the author receives writ-ten confirmation of acceptance of the manuscript). Rejected man-uscripts will be discarded, except for original artwork and photo-graphs, which will be returned to the authors.

 Original papers. ¡ªTaxon publishes original papers deal-ing with systematic botany in its widest sense. The emphasis is on articles with new and important results of a general nature: taxon-omy, systematics of higher categories, evolution, methodology, bibliography, biodiversity, biography, biosystematics, chemotax-onomy, conservation, history, molecular botany, nomenclature, numerical taxonomy, palaeobotany, palynology, typification, and related subjects. Original articles are published in various columns, e.g., ¡°Molecular phylogenetics¡±, ¡°Taxonomy¡±, ¡°Methods and Techniques¡±, ¡°Herbaria and Institutions¡±, ¡°Biodiversity and Conservation¡±, etc.

Points of View. ¡ªChallenging new ideas, or new chal-lenges to extant ones, may be presented in the ¡°Points of View¡± column. Editorial requirements are the same as for articles, except that no summary is required. Tables, illustrations, and literature cited should be kept to a minimum, the ideal length of such con-tributions being 2¨C4 printed pages. Publication of dissenting or supporting views by others is encouraged. No external reviews for these manuscripts will usually be solicited; acceptance will be granted by the Editors, the main criteria being interest and timeli-ness of the topic.

 Nomenclature proposals. ¡ª Detailed guidelines for pro-posals to conserve and/or reject names are published separately in this issue (see p. 182) and differ in important respects from those that follow. Proposals to amend the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN, the St. Louis Code, Regnum Veg. 138) should follow instructions published by McNeill & Stuessy (in Taxon 50: 557¨C558. 2001). All proposals will be reviewed both by the Editors and the Nomenclature Editor (John McNeill, Edinburgh), and may be modified to conform to the rules and requirements of botanical nomenclature in consultation with the author. Please provide an electronic version of your proposal as Word PC-version (.doc), .txt or .rtf-files or as e-mail attachment [editors@iapt-taxon.org].

Preparation of text. ¡ª Consult the 52(1) issue of Taxon and follow current format. For original papers, provide a Summary and 5¨C6 keywords (indicating taxa, methods, main topic, geo-graphic region) and try to structure the manuscript into the main sections Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Literature Cited. Addresses of all coauthors, which must be given in full, including e-mail addresses (if available), should be given as a footnote. Keep title and subheadings short and inform- ative. Only two subheading categories are encouraged: the primary ones standing alone, the secondary ones being followed by a peri-od and a long dash (or triple hyphen), with the subsequent text run-ning on. Authors are requested to check correct spelling and authors of scientific names before submission, and abbreviate authors of scientific plant names in conformity with Brummitt & Powell, Authors of Plant Names [Kew, 1992; also incorporated in The International Plant Names Index (IPNI), see the website http://www.ipni.org/]. Authors of scientific names should be given at least once in the text or in tables. Asingle blank must always follow after a period, colon, semi-colon, or comma (except within numerals and standard abbrevia-tions such as e.g., i.e., l.c., s.str., s.l.): ¡°Brown, A. J.¡± not ¡°Brown, A.J.¡±; ¡°32: 120--130¡± not ¡°32:120-130¡±; and between numerals and units of measure: ¡°2 mm¡± not ¡°2mm¡±, but ¡°5%¡± not ¡°5 %¡±. Use a double hyphen between page numbers and measurements, ¡°120--130¡± not ¡°120-130¡±.

Figures and Tables. ¡ª Figures should be sharp, good in contrast, and designed to fit the full page width after reduction (16.6 cm); with caption they may occupy the full page length (19.9 cm). It is mandatory that scale(s) be included in the illustration itself.

      Please use Helvetica or Arial fonts for all legends includ-ed in the figures and be certain that after reduction all letter-ing and symbols are clear and easy to read.

 

 Hard-copy figures should be mounted separately on solid A4 or letter size white board, to be mailed flat (never folded or rolled). All illustrations must be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. They should be cited ¡°Fig. 1¡± or ¡°Figs. 1¨C4¡± in sequential order. Plates comprising several figures or photographs should have internal numbers or capital letters (A, B, C) for reference (please use Helvetica or Arial fonts). Legends should be appended separately at the end of the manuscript. Photographs should be sent in tripli-cate. Do not mount line illustrations (drawings, maps, graphs, or diagrams) and half-tones (photographs) on the same plate. Photographs, especially those of herbarium specimens, must be of exceptional quality, good contrast, and submitted as close to Taxon page size as possible, avoiding ¡°landscape¡± (i.e., horizontal) ori-entation. Normally only previously unpublished illustrations are acceptable. If circumstances require the reproduction of copyright material, the authors are responsible for obtaining written permis-sion from the copyright holder (a signed permission to accompany the revised typescript).

 

Digital versions of illustrations should be prepared as follows: photographs should be saved as bmp or tif format at 300 dpi. Line figures should be saved in encapsu-lated postscript (eps) format. If this is not possible, they should be saved in bmp or tif format at 800 dpi. Colour figures should be saved in CMYK rather than RGB.

 

 Colour plates are encour-aged in Taxon, but the costs (ca. US $500 per article) need to be discussed with the editors. Tables must have an appropriate heading and must bear con-secutive Arabic numerals. They should be cited ¡°Table 1,¡± etc. Large files are preferably transferred via ftp: ftp:\\131.130.131.59 username: ftpuser, password: taxon

 Literature. ¡ª Each reference in the text must also be list-ed under ¡°Literature Cited¡± and vice versa. References in the text are to be cited with author(s) and year. Where there are more than two authors, only the first should be named in the text, followed by ¡°& al.¡±. Examples: ...has been investigated by Miller (1993) and Miller & Maier (1994). Baker & al. (1996) have shown..., or, (Miller, 1993; Miller & Maier, 1994; Baker & al., 1996). The list of references should be in alphabetical order by name of the first author with all authors and the complete title of each work cited. Repeat author names when the author(s) have more than one publication. Full references must be given, including city of publication and publisher for books. Titles quoted in full (e.g., of books) should have all important words capitalised. Book titles in taxonomic synonymies should follow Stafleu & Cowan¡¯s, Taxonomic Literature (ed. 2 and supplements) but with capital initial letters; journal titles, both in synonymies and under ¡°Literature Cited¡± in conformity with Lawrence & al., Botanico-Periodicum- Huntianum (Pittsburgh, 1968) and, except for the altered Cyrillic transliteration system, its Supplement (Pittsburgh, 1991). Titles in foreign languages must be cited in original and not in English translation; if they (and the authors) appear in non-Latin script they are to be transliterated following ISO standards (ISO-1 for Cyrillic script). Use a double hyphen between page numbers. Examples: Clinton, W. J. 1999. Why I find plant systematics in the Oval Office more stimulating than in the laboratory. The New Botanist 18: 69--96. Bessey, C., Cronquist, A. & Dahlgren, R. 1998. Besscron-dahlograms: the ultimate system of angiosperm classifica-tion. Taxon 45: 202--218. Nixon, R., Agnew, S. & Kohl, H. (eds.). 1985. Tax Breaks and Loopholes for Plant Taxonomists. IAPT, Nassau. Presley, E. 1986. Why plant systematics is a hit. Pp. 22--29 in: Berry, C., Richard, L. & Domino, F. (eds.), The New Wave Systematics. G. Fischer, Nashville. Ufo, I. M. & Omni, U. R. In press. The extraterrestrial origin of flowering plants. Pl. Syst. Exobiol. 100.

Citation of Specimens and Synonymies. ¡ª Voucher specimens are to be cited and deposited in a public herbarium. The following format is required: Country. Political subdivision: local-ity, date, collector(s) and number (herbarium acronym). Use herbarium acronyms of Holmgren & al. (Index Herbariorum, Regnum Veg. 120. 1990), and Holmgren & Holmgren (Taxon 49: 113¨C124. 2000 and subsequent updates; see also the website http://www.nybg.org/ bsci/ih/ih.html). This format applies also when the material is tabulated. Useful conventions for citing Linnaean specimens can be found in Jarvis & al. (Regnum Veg. 127. 1993). Names of new taxa must be followed immediately by the holotype indication, then by the (Latin) description or diagnosis in a separate paragraph. For all type specimens examined by the author(s), an explanation mark should be given after the herbarium acronym, e.g., (W!). Homotypic names shall form a single para-graph, in chronological sequence, indicated with the identity sign (“´¬–”²ª› ) with the respective type indication at the end of each such para-graph. Heterotypic names should be listed in separate paragraphs, indicated by the equality sign (=).

Sequence data. ¡ª DNA or protein sequences must be deposited in public data bases (GenBank, EMBL, etc.), and acces-sion numbers must be given in the Materials and Methods (to be provided after the manuscript is accepted).

Proofs.  Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author as pdf file (together with the reprint order form as .rtf file). They must be processed immediately and returned by air mail, e-mail or fax (+43 1 4277 54099). Authors who anticipate being absent are urged to give forwarding orders or to give notice of temporary addresses (with dates). Corrections not returned within two weeks cannot usually be taken into consideration.
