About the journal
he Bryologist (ISSN 0007-2745) is a scientific journal devoted to the study of bryophytes (mosses, hornworts, liverworts) and lichens. Published quarterly by the American Bryological and Lichenological Society, it contains articles on diverse aspects of the biology of bryophytes and lichens, lists of current literature with world-wide coverage, book reviews, as well as news items about American Bryological and Lichenological Society T members and events
Instructions to Authors
AUTHORS: before submitting manuscripts, please read the following material carefully. Adherence to requested formats will expedite editorial processing of manuscripts. Below is a general guide to The Bryologist style. For details not specifically mentioned, please see a recent issue of The Bryologist. Manuscripts should be sent to the Editor:
Dale H. Vitt, Department of Plant Biology, Southern Illinois University,
Carbondale, Illinois, 62901-6509. U.S.A.
Beginning with manuscripts received after January 1, 2000, page charges will be assessed according to the following policy: Each author (and co-author) who is a member of the American Bryological and Lichenological Society (ABLS) and subscribes to The Bryologist receives, as a benefit of membership, 15 free pages in the journal annually. Additional pages will be charged at the rate of $50.00/page.
Notes: Membership should be for the year in which the article is published. Authors need to confirm their ABLS Society membership status with the Editor when returning the revised manuscript. To estimate journal pages, divide total manuscript pages by 3; total manuscript pages includes figures and tables. A limited number of grants from the Society are available for larger papers that exceed these page restrictions. Authors are encouraged to apply for these grants by a letter to the Editor.
Manuscripts on all aspects of bryology and lichenology will be considered. The abstract must be in English. Recent issues are the best guide for style; authors are invited to consult with the Editor in advance about unique or difficult problems of presentation. All manuscripts are evaluated by referees.
Manuscripts must be submitted as an original with two copies, double-spaced throughout (including footnotes, figure legends, and literature lists), and typed or printed on paper 21.5 x 28 cm. Do not use "onionskin" or similar light-weight paper. With word processors, do not use right-hand justification; dot matrix printed manuscripts are acceptable provided a new ribbon is used for legibility. Use 12 point or larger font. Figure legends and tables should be on separate pages at the end of the manuscript.
We encourage authors to submit manuscripts via e-mail (MS word documents are preferred). Upon acceptance of the manuscript, the authors must provide a diskette with the revised (and "ready to publish") version, and a hard copy of the manuscript. If this poses difficulties with authors, please consult with the Editor.
The abstract should be a brief summary of the main findings and conclusions, and not simply a description of the work. Except for Latin names, the entire abstract is italicized. (Note: elsewhere in the manuscript latin names are italicized.)
Figures are line drawings and/or sharp, glossy photographs mounted on stiff white mounting board with ample margins on all sides. Digitized images are also accepted. Figures are numbered sequentially and mentioned throughout the article. Letters, numbers, or arrows may be used to indicate features of special interest within figures. Magnification may be indicated by scale bars applied directly onto the illustrations themselves. If there are several figures, they should be fitted together into composite blocks; however, do not combine photographs and line drawings in the same block. Photographs within a block must be mounted with all interior edges flush with one another. The engraver at Allen Press will add fine white lines to separate the components of such blocks. Instead of sending large original illustrations which may be difficult to handle and mail, photographic (or other processed) copies suitable for engraving should be submitted. Make black and white photographs in duplicate prints, one for each of the two review copies of the manuscript, rather than Xerox the original photograph. Illustrations for manuscripts accepted for publication will not be returned unless prior arrangements are made.
Tables are numbered sequentially and follow the figure legends at the end of the manuscript. Table legends should explain the content of the table fully, and are placed above the table.
Periods are used after abbreviations in the text except metric measurements and compass directions. (See below for special forms of abbreviation in lists of literature and specimens.)
Citation of specimens must be very concise. Instead of long detailed lists of specimens, briefly state representative specimens or distribution maps, or both. Geographic names are arranged in strict order of decreasing political magnitude; collectors are cited by family name only. Cite only a single specimen per smallest political or geographical unit. Habitat data are summarized in the text and are not included in lists of specimens. The date of collection is given only if a collection number is lacking. Herbarium designations are those of Index Herbarorium. An example of a specimen citation:
MEXICO. COAHUILA. Pringle, 1901 (US). U.S.A. TEXAS. Brewster Co., Smith 22793 (MO, NY).
In the Literature Cited section of manuscripts, names of authors and titles of articles must be given exactly as in the original publication, except that initials are always used for the given names of authors. Journal titles are given in full, without abbreviation, except that an initial "The" may be omitted (except "The Bryologist"). Authors are listed alphabetically by family name, then chronologically. Leave a space between author¡¯s initials. For example:
Adams, C. D. 1990. Title of article. Name of Journal 103: 1-10.
Adams, W. L. 1920. Title of article. Name of Journal 13: 33-77.
Adams, W. L. & F. R. Baker. 1982. Title of chapter, pp. 000-000. In J. D. Baker (ed.), Title of Book.
Publisher, Place of Publication.
----------, --------- & G. A. Abner. 1980. Title of article. Name of Journal 70: 45-59.
Proofs are sent directly to the author, along with the copy-edited manuscript. The proofs must be corrected immediately and both returned to the Editor. Proofs not returned promptly by authors will be corrected by the Editor. Resetting due to corrections other than printer's error is chargeable to the author.
Reprints may be ordered upon the author's receipt of their proofs. The transaction is entirely between the author and the printer, Allen Press
