Instructions to Authors
Evolutionary Applications seeks to publish papers that will be interesting to a diverse audience including but not limited to evolutionary biologists, include environmental consultants, biologists within industry, health care or government agencies, and many others who may not necessarily be engaged in active research themselves.
It is essential that papers published in Evolutionary Applications be oriented toward this broad audience, both in terms of addressing important and widespread problems and in clearly explaining how results from particular locations or on particular species may apply more broadly. In general, papers should apply evolutionary concepts, theories, models and methods to topics including, but not limited to: agriculture, aquaculture, biomedicine, biotechnology, climate change, conservation biology, disease biology, forestry, invasion biology, and fisheries and wildlife management. The journal is especially interested in papers that address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology.
Manuscript categories
The journal publishes three main types of articles: Original Research, Synthesis, and Perspective.
- Original research articles - these papers report novel research projects that yield valuable insights into topics within our coverage.
- Synthesis - these papers analyze and synthesize recent findings in the biological sciences that are of interest to the readership of the journal. These articles should both review recent work and incorporate findings from both recent and past developments. These articles should present a new and synthetic perspective of those results.
- Perspectives - these manuscripts express new points of view or set out speculations based on a scholarly review of recently published works. Such manuscripts can be speculative and provocative, as means of encouraging debate. They must go beyond the works being reviewed and include discussions of new directions, and/or resolutions to old questions.
Evolutionary Applications also welcomes Comments on recently published articles in the journal, and brief News articles (non peer-reviewed) reviewing or previewing symposia, conferences or workshops relevant to the scope of the journal.
Submitting your manuscript online
i. Online submission process
Manuscripts should be submitted online at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/eva
Explicit instructions can be found on the Manuscript Central site. Please contact the journal office (evolappl@zoology.ubc.ca) or use the Manuscript Central online ‘help�function if you encounter any difficulties with the online submission process.
You will be asked to input all authors�names and contact information, information about the manuscript (e.g. number of words, figures, tables), and also you will be asked to paste the abstract into a separate window. Please note that the input box for the abstract only allows for 200 words.
ii. Uploading the title page and main document
Important: Evolutionary Applications uses double blind reviewing
To try to minimize bias in the peer-review process, Evolutionary Applications typically does not give reviewers access to the authors�names.
To facilitate double blind reviewing, you will be asked to upload your title page separately from the main text. (Please see the Manuscript Presentation section below for further details on the title page and text.) Cut the title page from your manuscript, and paste it into a new document. Also, cut the acknowledgments paste them onto the title page. Thus, you will have to upload at least two files: 1) title page, 2) main document (minus the title page and acknowledgements). Upload any tables, figures, or supplementary files as necessary. You will also have the option of suggesting preferred and non-preferred referees and editors.
iii. Cover letter
The cover letter should state:
�nbsp;why the manuscript is appropriate for Evolutionary Applications,
�nbsp;that the enclosed work is not under consideration for publication in another journal or book,
�nbsp;the submission of the manuscript for publication has been approved by all relevant authors and institutions.
Submitting authors should also assert that all authors have seen and agreed to the submitted version of the manuscript.
Preparing your Manuscript
i. Length, Language, Margins, Page Numbers, Line Numbers
Manuscripts should not typically exceed 10 printed pages (including figures and tables). In general, allow 900 words per printed page and subtract 160 words for each figure and table.
Manuscripts should be written in clear, concise, and grammatically correct English. Authors may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
Manuscripts should be typewritten and double-spaced to fit on paper of 297 mm x 210 mm (11 inch x 8.5 inch), with 2.5 cm (1 inch) margins on all sides. All pages should be numbered consecutively, and line numbers should be printed on each page to facilitate ease of reference for reviewers.
ii. Manuscript Contents
Following the title page, the main document should include the following sections (in order): abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, literature cited, tables, figure legends, figures, appendices, and supplementary materials. Details for specific sections are listed below.
Title page �(separate document) includes the title; running head; the names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses of all authors, acknowledgments, and article type. E-mail addresses for every author are required.
Abstract - includes a one-paragraph abstract, and up to eight key words/phrases. Abstracts should not contain citations or abbreviations and should be 200 words or less.
Statistical results - in-line statistical results should be presented as test-statistics, and degrees of freedom as subscript(s) to test-statistics, e.g. F1,12 = ... or t8 = ..., P
Literature cited - Evolutionary Applications follows the Chicago Manual of Style author-date format. List in-text citations chronologically, then alphabetically for the same year. Cite unpublished work as 'A. B. Smith and C. D. Jones, unpublished data' or 'E. F. Smith and G. H. Jones, unpublished manuscript.' 'In review' manuscripts should be referred to as unpublished manuscripts in text and not listed in the literature cited. Only published or in press material is listed in the literature cited. Give all journal and press names in full. For users of referencing software, the format used here is the same as that in the American Naturalist. for example:
Hubbell, S. P., and R. B. Foster. 1986. Canopy gaps and the dynamics of a Neotropical forest. Pages 77-96 in M. J. Crawley, ed. Plant ecology. Blackwell Scientific, Oxford.
Maynard Smith, J. 1966. Sympatric speciation. American Naturalist 100:637-650.
Tables - tables can be embedded in the main text file or uploaded separately. Do not present the same information in both a table and a figure. Table titles should be short, concise, and descriptive. All other information should be placed in a table note. Table notes should appear after the table. Tables are numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text. All tables must be referred to in the text. There are no vertical or horizontal lines in the body of an Evolutionary Applications table. There are no panels. Please do not include any graphical representations of any kind. If a table must have a graphical aspect, then it should be renamed a figure. A table has the same column headings throughout. If the column headings change, it should be treated as a new table with a new table number and a new title.
Figures - all figures must be referred to in the text. Number all figures cited in the text consecutively using Arabic numerals (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.). If a figure is cited only in an appendix, then the figure is labeled accordingly (e.g., a figure cited only in appendix B would be labeled 'Fig. B1'). Figure legends should be double-spaced on a separate sheet. Line drawings should be professionally drawn, or generated by high-quality computer software capable of producing print-quality images. Images should fit on paper no larger than that used for typing the text. Do not use boldface lettering. The final size (after reduction or enlargement) of lettering on figures should be no less than 1.5 mm. Use capital letters to label figure parts. There are no charges for colour figures. Line art, charts, cladograms, and annotated photographs, are best supplied as Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) or PDF format. Photographs and other continuous tone images should be in TIFF format, saved at the intended final size, and with a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Excessively high resolutions will not improve the output quality, but may produce an unnecessarily large file. For more detailed guidelines on preparing artwork, please see: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/illustration.asp
Appendix - provide a title for each appendix in addition to the label (e.g., 'Appendix A: Model of Sexual Selection in Bald Eagles')
Supporting Information - supporting information can be published as electronic appendices on the journal homepage at the Editors' discretion. These may include, for example, information on sampling locations, data underlying analyses or figures, additional analyses not presented in the manuscript, or relevant multimedia files (e.g. mating song audio clips). Supporting information guidelines for authors are available at: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/suppmat.asp
Scientific names Give the Latin names of each species in full, together with the authority for its name, at first mention in the main text. If there are many species, cite a flora or checklist that may be consulted for authorities instead of listing them in the text. Do not give authorities for species cited from published references. Give priority to scientific names in the text (with colloquial names in parentheses if desired).
Mathematics Use either italics or underlining throughout equations and text. Do not use both in the same file. Do not use italics or bold for emphasis. Introduce every variable and label used at its first occurrence. A table of definitions can also be helpful.
Abbreviations and units Use international System of Units (SI) for all measurements.
Supporting data and materials It is the expectation of Evolutionary Applications that authors will make the data underlying published articles available. Any impediments to data sharing should be brought to the attention of the editors at the time of submission. All new nucleotide sequence data must be submitted to Genbank or EMBL. Accession numbers for all sequences (new and old) utilized in the text must be provided before publication. In addition, all data matrices and resulting trees must be submitted to TreeBase.
Once your paper is accepted:
Page charges
There are no page charges for publication in Evolutionary Applications.
Copyright Transfer Agreement
Authors will be required to sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the CTA is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission, authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various media/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors, an CTA can be supplied by the Editorial Office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form from here.
Proofs and offprints
When page proofs are ready, the author will be invited to download the proof from a Web site. Proofs are provided in Adobe PDF format. Only corrections and essential changes should be made at this stage. Authors will be charged for extensive alterations. The Editors reserve the right to make minor modifications to manuscripts that do not conform to accepted standards/Journal style. Such alterations will always be submitted to the authors for approval at the proof stage. A PDF offprint of the online published article will be provided free of charge to the corresponding author, and may be distributed subject to the Publisher's terms and conditions.
Online production tracking
This enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Upon receipt of an article at the publisher, the author will be invited to register at the Author Services Web site. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production so they do not need to contact the production editor to check on progress. Visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
Early View
Evolutionary Applications is covered by Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of the publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so they cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a unique number called a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. For more information on DOIs, please see http://www.doi.org/faq.html.
OnlineOpen
This is a pay-to-publish service from Wiley-Blackwell that offers authors whose papers are accepted for publication the opportunity to pay up-front for their manuscript to become open access (i.e. free for all to view and download) via the Wiley InterScience website. Each OnlineOpen article will be subject to a one-off fee of $3,000 to be met by or on behalf of the Author in advance of publication. Upon online publication, the article (both full-text and PDF versions) will be available to all for viewing and download free of charge. The print version of the article will also be branded as OnlineOpen and will draw attention to the fact that the paper can be downloaded for free via the Wiley InterScience service. Any authors wishing to send their paper OnlineOpen will be required to complete the combined payment and copyright licence form available from http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/eva_oof.pdf (Please note this form is for use with OnlineOpen material ONLY.) Once complete, this form should be sent to the Production Editor along with the rest of the manuscript materials at the time of acceptance or as soon as possible after that (preferably within 24 hours to avoid any delays in processing). Do not inform the Editorial Office that you intend to publish your paper OnlineOpen before acceptance.
Free Access in the Developing World Free online access to this journal is available within institutions in the developing world through the HINARI initiative with the World Health Organization (WHO), the AGORA initiative with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the OARE Initiative (Online Access to Research in the Environment) with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
