About the journal
aim of
Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters
is the rapid publication of papers resulting from field work in ichthyology and the documentation of the biodiversity of freshwater fishes:
 taxonomic diversity
ecological diversity
ethological diversity
reproductive diversity
zoogeographical diversity
The emphasis is on tropical environments and fauna, but papers on subtropical and temperate fishes are also regularly published. The main focus is systematics and biology at the organism-level.
Although no single approach is proscribed, the following kinds of articles have been published:
descriptions of new taxa, systematic revisions, and identification keys;
ecology, ethology, and reproductive biology, preferably based on field observation;
zoogeography and exploration reports;
data on status of threathened or endangered species and biota.
Four fascicles of 96 pages (17 ¡Á 24 cm) are published each year, including many colour illustrations. In the last 16 years (volume 1-16), Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters has published 516 papers, including the descriptions of 56 new genera and 585 new species of fishes from all continents, making it one of the most important ichthyological journals.
Instructions to Authors
An international journal for field-orientated ichthyology
Instructions to Contributors
Warning
Prospective authors should read carefully the following instructions and follow them when submitting a manuscript. Doing so significantly hasten publication and save money and efforts. Manuscript which do not satisfy the instructions below may be rejected at the Editor's discretion and will not be returned.
Types of papers
1) Major Articles and Notes. These manuscripts are submitted to two referees for evaluation.
2) Rapid communications. These articles will be reports on exciting new results or discoveries within the scope of the journal. They are evaluated by the Editor and the Editorial Board and are either accepted or rejected.
Submission of manuscripts
The original manuscript and two copies should be sent to the Editor, Maurice Kottelat, Route de la Baroche 12, Case postale 57, CH-2952 Cornol, Switzerland. Do not send a disk or original of figures at this stage. A letter of transmittal is requested, giving:
1) the name, postal and email addresses and telephone of the corresponding author;
2) the names, postal and email adresses of up to four persons outside the authors' institutions who are qualified to review the paper;
3) a statement that the material has not been published and is not considered for publication elsewhere and that it will not be submitted elsewhere unless it is rejected or withdrawn. In submitting a manuscript, the author(s) accept transfer of the copyright to the Publisher.
Co-authors, corresponding author
Authors are those who have played a significant role in designing and conducting the research and in writing the manuscript. Individuals who have only collected data, provided material or financial support, or reviewed the manuscript should be listed in acknowledgments. Honorary authorship is not accepted.
Co-authors should designate a single corresponding author to whom correspondence and proofs will be sent. All correspondence regarding the paper should go through the corresponding author. Correspondence will not be sent to other co-authors and correspondence from other co-authors regarding the manuscript will neither be answered nor taken into consideration.
Format
Text. All manuscripts are subject to editorial revision before final acceptance for publication. The manuscript should be printed, double spaced and with at least 2.5 cm right, left and bottom margins. Pages must be numbered. Nothing in the manuscript should be underlined. Titles with numerical series designations are not permitted. Titles should be brief, fewer than 20 words and should indicate clearly the field of study and the group of fishes investigated. All abbreviations should be explained in the Method section (or figure caption when appropriate) or a reference to published explanations should be provided; exceptions are very common abbreviations, such as mm, km, kg, sec, min, yr, vs, SL. Footnotes are not permitted. Do not end a line of text with a hyphen. All measurements must be in metric units. The first page should include: title of the paper, author(s), addresses and abstract, all left justified. The text should be followed by Material Examined (if appropriate), Acknowledgments (if any), Appendix (if any) and Literature Cited, in that order. Keys are desirable in taxonomic papers. They should be dichotomous and not serially indented.
Nomenclature. Names of living organisms should follow the appropriate and current International Codes of Nomenclature. Formal names of genera and species should be written in italics. Names of authors and publication dates of of scientific names should appear only when nomenclatural problems are involved.
Language. Manuscripts should be written in English, French or German, but English is strongly encouraged. All papers must have a concise but informative abstract in English. Manuscripts in French or German must have an extensive summary in English. In taxonomic papers, the abstract must include at least clear diagnosis of the new taxa. A second abstract, provided by the author(s), in the language of the country or area concerned by the text is acceptable. A maximum of two abstracts is permitted.
Acknowledgments. Identify individuals by name(s) and surname. Do not list titles, position or institution. Acknowledge individuals, not positions. Idiosyncrasy and private jokes are not permitted.
Literature Cited. Format for Literature Cited is that of the most recent issue. Abbreviate names of well known journals, but provide in full the names of lesser known journals. For books, give full name of publishing company or institution, city and country. Manuscripts in preparation or submitted, abstracts, in-house reports and other literature not obatinable through normal library channels cannot be cited.
Tables. Each table should be on a separate sheet, numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals; they should have concise but self-explanatory headings. Do not insert frames, vertical rules, dotted lines or footnotes. The location of first citation of each table should be clearly indicated.
Figures. Do not submit originals for the review; send originals with the revised manuscript. All maps, graphs, charts, drawings and photographs are regarded as figures and are to be numbered consecutively and in the sequence of their first citation in the text. When several charts or photographs are grouped as one figure, they must be trimmed and spaced as intended for final reproduction. Each part of such a group figure should be lettered with a lower case block letter in the lower left corner. Scale should be indicated on the figure by a scale bar. Figures should never be mounted on hard cardboard. Do not mark or write on the back of the figures.
All illustrations should be designed to fit a width of 68 or 140 mm and a depth no greater than 200 mm. Prints should be of high contrast and glossy. Lettering should be large enough to be easily seen when reduced onto a journal column (68 mm). Legends for figures must be typewritten on a separate sheet. Identify each illustration with the author's name, figure number and direction of top margin.
Colour illustrations should preferably be slides. Slides should be framed and properly labelled. For the review, they should be submitted as three sets of prints, pasted on sheets of paper, or as a series of color photocopies. Prints to be used for publications should never be mounted and never labelled on the back.
The decision to print in colour or in black and white any figure originally submitted in colour remains with the editor and publisher. This decision will be based on scientific justification, quality of the original, layout and other editorial, financial and production contraints. By submitting colour originals, the authors know and accept that they may be published in black and white.
Even if scanned or digital images are submitted, original slides, negatives or drawings must always be submitted.
For more and detailed information see:
Software texts. The whole text should be left justified. Do not right-justify. Do not underline. Never use "L" or "I" for the numeral 1 or "O"/"o" for "0". Do not hyphenate any word. Do not format the text. Text should be on 3.5" disks, readable on IBM-compatibles with MS-DOS. Do not send a disk, when submitting the manuscript. Revised manuscript must be accompanied by a disk satisfying above criteria, or will not be accepted.
Review
Each manuscript will be sent to two reviewers for confidential evaluation. When justified, the reviewer's comments will be forwarded to the author. When submitting a revised manuscript, authors should briefly indicate which comments have been incorporated and the reasons for disregarding any suggestion regarded as unacceptable. Remember that if a reviewer had questions or did not understand you, other readers may make the same experience and the answers should be in the manuscript and not in a letter to the editor. Changes in style, format and layout requested by the Editor are non-negotiable and non-observance will usually result in rejection of the manuscript.
Revised manuscripts received more than 6 months after the reviewers' comments had been sent will not be considered or will be treated as new submissions.
Proofs, Reprints and Page Charges
One set of proofs will be sent to the corresponding author; they should be checked and returned to the Editor within one week. Proofs not received within this delay may be corrected by the Editor, at the author's risks. Authors may be charged for any changes other than printer's error. Reprint orders must be forwarded with the corrected proofs on the form supplied by the editor. The corresponding author is responsible for contacting the co-authors and forwarding their reprint orders.
The authors will obtain 20 reprints free of charge, additional reprints may be ordered at cost. There will be no page charges and no charges for justified colour illustrations.
