Instructions to Authors
To expedite reviews and publication of your manuscript please follow these steps
• A wide range of submission file formats is supported, including: Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, LaTeX2E, TeX, Postscript, PICT, Excel, Tar, Zip and Powerpoint. PDF is not an acceptable file format.
• Prepare your manuscript with single line spacing; use a normal, plain font (e.g. 10-point Times Roman) for text; and use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages. Do not use the field functions. Use tab stops or other commands for indents – not the space bar. Use the equation editor or MathType for equations. Note: If you use Word 2007, do not create equations with the default equation editor, but use MathType instead. Save your file in two formats: doc and rtf. Do not submit docx files.
Authors should submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times. Please connect directly to the site and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen. http://rice.edmgr.com
The corresponding author will be asked to sign the Copyright Transfer form upon submission via Online Submission system. By signing the form, the corresponding author agrees that (1) the manuscript is the author’s original research; (2) the manuscript has not been published elsewhere; (3) if accepted by Rice, the author will not publish it again elsewhere; (4) all coauthors are aware of, and agree with publication in Rice; (5) the publication becomes property of Springer; (6) payment for reprints/pdfs will be promptly made.
Conflict of Interest
Authors must indicate whether or not they have a financial relationship with the organization that sponsored the research. They should also state that they have full control of all primary data and that they agree to allow the journal to review their data if requested.
Therefore the manuscript must be accompanied by the “Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form”. This form can be obtained from http://www.springer.com/
Ethical Standards
Please include at the end of the acknowledgements a declaration that the experiments comply with the current laws of the country in which they were performed.
Legal requirements
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities - tacitly or explicitly - at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
WRITING STYLE AND FORMAT OF MANUSCRIPTS
Regular full-length papers should include the following elements in the order that they are described.
- The name(s) of the author(s)
- A concise and informative title
- The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)
- The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author
Footnotes on the title page are not given reference symbols. Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data).
Abstract. Please provide an abstract of 100 to 150 words. Briefly, state the problem that the research addresses, summarize the nature of the research approach, provide an overview of the results and indicate the significance and/or impact of the results. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and references in the abstract. Because the abstract will be published by many abstracting services, it must be complete and understandable without references to the text of your paper.
Text, arranged in the following order:
1) INTRODUCTION - Give background information strictly on the subject. Summarize the rationale for the study or observation. Clearly state the purpose of the article.
2) RESULTS - Present your data in a logical sequence starting with a short description of the incentive of the experiment, followed by a description of the results, if appropriate in the form of tables or figures. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables and/or illustrations; emphasize or summarize only important observations.
3) DISCUSSION - Discuss the implications of the findings and their limitations and relate the observations to other relevant studies. The first or final paragraph of the discussion should clearly describe the main conclusions of the work, their importance and potential for further studies. Avoid repeating Introduction or Results
4) METHODS - Describe your selection of the observational or experimental subjects clearly. Identify the methods, apparatus (manufacturer’s name and address in parenthesis), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow others to reproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods; provide references and brief descriptions of methods that have been published but are not well-known, describe substantially modified methods, including statistical methods, give reasons for using them, and evaluate their limitations.
Subheadings. Authors are encouraged to arrange the above sections into logical subsections headed with appropriate titles. Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.
Acknowledgments. In this section you may identify and thank people or organizations/grant program who contributed to the research.
References. The list of References should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text.
Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:
• Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
• This result was later contradicted (Becker and Seligman 1996).
This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1993).
Citations should be deemed retrievable by the readership now and in the future. Manuscripts that are in press may be used as citations, but the author must be able to provide proof of acceptance if requested by the journal staff. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.
Arrange the citations in alphabetical order by first author followed in chronological order by the other authors in the same order. Use the following formats:

SYNTAX, OTHER CONVENTIONS AND SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
SI Units and Numbers
Please always use internationally accepted signs and symbols for units, SI units.
Terminology
Genus and species names should be in italics. The common names of animals should not be capitalized.
Specific Format Recommendations for Tables
Tables
• All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.
• Tables should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.
• For each table, please supply a table heading. The table title should explain clearly and concisely the components of the table.
• Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table heading.
• Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body.
Specific Format Recommendations for Figures
Figures
• All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.
• Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters.
• Figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.
• For each figure, please supply a figure caption.
• Identify all elements found in the figure in the caption.
• Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the caption.
Electronic Figure Submission
Supply all figures electronically.
Indicate what graphics program was used to create the artwork.
For vector graphics, the preferred format is EPS; for halftones, please use TIFF format. MS Office files are also acceptable.
Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.
Name your figure files with "Fig" and the figure number, e.g., Fig1.eps.
Line Art
Definition: Black and white graphic with no shading.
Do not use faint lines and/or lettering and check that all lines and lettering within the figures are legible at final size.
All lines should be at least 0.1 mm (0.3 pt) wide.
Line drawings should have a minimum resolution of 1200 dpi.
Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.
Halftone Art
Definition: Photographs, drawings, or paintings with fine shading, etc.
If any magnification is used in the photographs, indicate this by using scale bars within the figures themselves.
Halftones should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
Color Art
Color art is free of charge for online publication.
If black and white will be shown in the print version, make sure that the main information will still be visible. Many colors are not distinguishable from one another when converted to black and white. A simple way to check this is to make a xerographic copy to see if the necessary distinctions between the different colors are still apparent.
If the figures will be printed in black and white, do not refer to color in the captions.
Color illustrations should be submitted as RGB (8 bits per channel).
If Electronic supplementary material (ESM) is submitted, it will be published as received from the author in the online version only.
ESM may consist of
• information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings
• information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.
• large original data, e.g. additional tables, illustrations, etc.
• If supplying any ESM, the text must make specific mention of the material as a citation, similar to that of figures and tables (e.g., ". . . as shown in Animation 3.").
After acceptance
Upon acceptance of your article you will receive a link to the special Springer web page with questions related to:
Open Choice In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer's online platform SpringerLink. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
Springer Open Choice [http://springer.com/openchoice]
NIH Open Access Policy
It is now NIH policy that all articles on research supported by NIH be freely accessible within 12 months of publication, and the articles must be deposited in PubMed Central. Springer offers two options, both of which comply with the NIH directive: 1) by purchasing Open Choice for $3,000 the authors can make their paper open access immediately, and Springer will deposit it in PubMed Central; 2) the authors can deposit the final typescript (but not typeset) version of their manuscript in PubMed Central and it will become freely accessible after 12 months.
www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/M9551R_NIH_OpenAccess_Flyer.pdf?SGWID=0-0-45-549098-0
Copyright transfer
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Open Choice articles do not require transfer of copyright as the copyright remains with the author. In opting for open access, they agree to the Springer Open Choice Licence.
Color in Print
Online publication of color illustrations is free of charge. For color in the print version, authors will be expected to contribute $1150.00 towards the extra costs.
Online First
The article will be published online after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the paper can also be cited by issue and page numbers.
Proof Reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor.
After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Published Article
Please see the newly published article on Rice Gene Nomenclature [http://www.springerlink.com/content/q047075330507t73/fulltext.html] by Rice Genetics Cooperative Committee members. Would it be possible to include the rice gene nomenclature guidelines in your journal's submission guidelines and in fact must ask the authors submitting datasets on new rice (genus: Oryza) genes to register their gene of interest with the rice gene nomenclature portal [http://www.shigen.nig.ac.jp/rice/oryzabase_submission/gene_nomenclature/
