Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts should not have been published previously, or submitted simultaneously to any other journal. Manuscripts must be written in English and should be linguistically correct.
Papers should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/zsc. Full upload instructions and support are available online from the submission site via the 'Get Help Now' button. Please submit your covering letter or comments to the editor when prompted online.
Retain the original figures until the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
Contributions should preferably not exceed 18 printed pages (including figures, tables and references), but more lengthy contributions can be considered -- please contact the Chief Editor.
Manuscripts not strictly conforming to the instructions will be returned without further consideration.
Data matrices/list of characters
To help improve the readability of articles, authors are encouraged to place data matrices/list of characters under an appendix heading at the back of the paper.
Text
All text, including figure legends must be typed in one column only, with 1.5 line spacing and no less than 3 cm margins on all sides. Page numbers and name of first author should be placed at the upper right of all text pages except the first. Please do not use right alignment and do not hyphenate words at the end of lines. Descriptions and diagnoses should be written in strict telegraphic style.
Scientific names
Names of species and genera should be italicized or underlined. Spell out the entire scientific name the first time a species is mentioned; thereafter, abbreviate the generic part of the name (first letter and period) except at the beginning of a paragraph or sentence. New taxa should be indicated by the Latin abbreviations 'sp. n.', 'gen. n.' etc, and should be mentioned in the abstract. Use SI units and appropriate standard abbreviations.
Numbers
Spell out numbers one through nine; for 10 and above, use numerals. For measured quantities (6 mm, 3 days, 4 years, etc.) use numerals. For sections written in telegraphic style, use numerals throughout. Format
Title page
Type at the upper left, name, address, telephone number, email address and, if available, fax number of the author to whom all correspondence should be sent. The title should be written in lower case letters and include the scientific name(s) of higher taxa (within parentheses and separated by commas) to indicate taxonomic position. Titles should not include authors of taxa. Below the title, type the author(s) name(s) in capitals with one Christian name spelled out. Further down, type a short running title of up to 45 characters and, on a line below this, the authors name(s) (if more than two, type the first authors name followed by et al.).
Abstract
The length of the abstract should not exceed 3% of the length of the text of the article. All newly described taxa must be given by name. Do not use paragraphs in the abstract. Write the abstract on a separate page, arranged as in the following example:

Literature citations and reference list
References in Articles
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting.
EndNote reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp
Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp
Arrangements of citations and reference list generally follows the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 4th edition.
Citations in the text should read: Smith (1987) described..., or Smith (1987, 1988).. ., or Smith & Brown (1986)..., or Smith et al. (1983)..., or '(Smith 1977, 1978; Berg & Brown 1980; Smith et al 1984a, b; Warén & Bouchet 1986: figs. 17-21; Cook 1988: 3).... Note that a comma should only be interposed between author of a scientific name and the year of its publication to indicate authorship.
Author names should be arranged in alphabetical order in the reference list. If more than one paper by an author is cited for the same year, distinguish these papers by a, b, c, etc., after the year. Names of all co-authors should be given in the reference list. Specify figures or plates if these appear outside the pagination of a reference. Titles of journals should not he abbreviated.

Figures and tables
Please consult our Electronic Artwork Information for Authors guidelines for the preparation of electronic artwork.
Graphs, drawings and photographs are figures and should be numbered consecutively as Fig. 1, Figs 2-4, Fig. 7C-F, etc. Tables are referred to as Table 1, Table 2, etc. (Roman numerals).
Adjust the size of the lettering and the thickness of the lines on illustrations according to intended reduction so that lettering size match in print, and make sure that lines do not disappear in reduction.
In the case of sectional figures, label each sub-figure A, B, C etc. The letters should appear 3-4 mm high in print. Other capital letters in the figures should appear about 2 mm high in print, lower case letters correspondingly smaller, but not less than 1 mm.
Abbreviations used in one or more figures should be explained, in a new paragraph at the end of the legend of the first figure where the abbreviations are used, e.g.:
Abbreviations: a, atrium; CS, copulatory sac; py, pygidium; ...
Half-tone illustrations should be submitted in electronic form wherever possible. If originals are supplied they they must be trimmed at right angles and in the desired final size. The mounted prints should be trimmed to show only the essential features and mounted on white cardboard with a 1-3 mm space between those arranged in groups. Where necessary indicate the top of the figure.
Photographs in colour are accepted only if printed at the authors expense. Please see below for details.
Each figure or group of figures should be planned to fit into the area of either one or two columns of text. Drawings and photographs should not be included in the same group. The maximum width of a one column illustration is 80 mm and of a two column illustration 169 mm; the maximum height of illustrations is 218 mm (but this should normally also include the legend). The size of submitted figures should not exceed A3, i.e. 420 × 297 mm.
Do not submit original illustrations before the paper is accepted for publication. If the author wishes artwork to be returned after publication, this must be clearly stated on submission; artwork is otherwise not normally returned after publication.
Figure legends should be listed on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript and arranged as in the following example:
Fig. 1. A-C. Fenestrulina antarctica sp. n. - A. An autozooid, × 60. - B. An ovicelled autozooid, × 60. - C. Detail to show orifice, ascopore and stellate frontal pores, × 160 - D, E. Smittoidea pugiuncula sp. n. - D. A group of autozooids, × 50. - E. Detail of a condyle, × 2200.
Approximate positions of both figures and tables should be indicated in the left-hand margin of the manuscript.
Tables should not include any vertical lines. See example.
Colour figures
It is the policy of Zoologica Scripta for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour work. If there is colour artwork in your manuscript when accepted for publication, Wiley-Blackwell require you to complete and return a colour work agreement form before your paper can be published. This form can be downloaded as a PDF* from the internet here: Colour Work Agreement Form.
If you have problems downloading the form please contact the Production Editor (zsc@wiley.com).
Once completed, please return the form with your accepted manuscript. Please note we are unable to publish any article in colour where a completed form has not been sent.
*PDF files can be read using the free Acrobat Reader available to download from: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Exclusive Licence Form
Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material. (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although a licence does not need to be assigned in such cases). After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various medium/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here
Text
Files should be formatted double-spaced with no hyphenation and automatic wordwrap (no hard returns within paragraphs). Please type your text consistently, e.g. take care to distinguish between 1 (one) and l (lower-case L) and 0 (zero) and O (capital o), etc.
Tables
Tables should be typed as text, using tabs to align columns. The use of table editors should be avoided. Do not use graphics software to create tables.
Mathematics
In-line equations should be typed as text. The use of graphics programs and equation editors should be avoided. Displayed equations are re-keyed by our typesetter.
Figures
Please send us digital versions of your figures if at all possible. EPS and TIFF files are preferable, but please consult our Electronic Artwork Information for Authors guidelines for further details. Please note that your paper will go through production more quickly if the figures do not have to be relabelled or redrawn. Please ensure that electronic artwork is prepared such that, after reduction to fit across one or two columns or two-thirds width (80 mm, 169 mm or 110 mm, respectively) as required, all lettering will be clear and easy to read, i.e. no labels should be too large or too small. Avoid using tints if possible; if they are essential to the understanding of the figure, try to make them coarse. No artwork should be incorporated into the text files.
Author material archive policy
Please note that unless specifically requested, Wiley-Blackwell will dispose of all submitted hardcopy or electronic material two months post-publication. If you require the return of any submitted material, please inform the editorial office or production editor as soon as possible if you have not yet done so.

This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.
Offprints
A free PDF offprint will be sent to each corresponding author. Additional offprints may be ordered, at extra cost, via an online ordering system. Details will be sent with paper proofs. Offprint orders received after publication incur a surcharge.
Online-only supplementary material
Additional material (such as multimedia adjuncts, large data sets, extra colour illustrations, bibliographies, or any other material for which insufficient space is available) may be able to be published online as supplementary material. Details of the available material will be given at the end of the printed paper. Please click here for our supplementary material guidelines.
OnlineOpen
OnlineOpen is available to authors of primary research articles who wish to make their article available to non-subscribers on publication, or whose funding agency requires grantees to archive the final version of their article. With OnlineOpen, the author, the author's funding agency, or the author's institution pays a fee to ensure that the article is made available to non-subscribers upon publication via Wiley InterScience, as well as deposited in the funding agency's preferred archive. For the full list of terms and conditions, please see here .
