About the journal
Aims & Scope
Chromosome Research provides for the rapid publication of high quality papers covering all aspects of chromosome and nuclear biology. Its editors welcome accounts of experimental studies of chromosome organization, function and behaviour. The journal is also pleased to publish studies in genomics, both functional and comparative, and studies in which karyology has helped to resolve difficult taxonomic problems or provide clues to fundamental mechanisms of genome and karyotype evolution. Straightforward karyotype descriptions are not normally accepted for publication in Chromosome Research.
Chromosomology is a field that spans all living organisms and one that exploits, more than almost any other, the comparative approach to biological research. In this sense the editors consider that research on human, animal, plant, yeast and other microbial systems can profitably share a common outlet in our journal.
Instructions to Authors
Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts may be sent to any of the Associate Editors or to the Editor-in-Chief. The decision with regard to acceptance for publication is made by the Associate Editor/Editor to whom the manuscript is sent. North American authors are encouraged, but under no obligation, to send their manuscripts to one of our Associate Editors in that region. This often helps to speed up editorial processing and can lead to better communication and a faster decision on acceptance for publication. For the same reasons, Japanese authors are encouraged to submit their papers through our Associate Editor in Japan. It is understood that papers submitted for publication have not been published previously and are not simultaneously offered to any other journal. Before submission, the submitting author must ensure that the manuscript has been seen and approved by all other named authors.
How to Submit your Manuscript
Manuscripts may be submitted as hard copy, in which case 3 copies of the manuscript and of all illustrations should be supplied. They may also be submitted of floppy disk or CD ROM (PC formatted please) accompanied by one hard copy, or they may be submitted as e-mail attachments, in which case no hard copy is required until after the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
If the manuscript is submitted as an e-mail attachment and the editor is unable to open the attachment successfully, the author will be asked to immediately send the manuscript in some other form. When a manuscript is accepted for publication, the editor will require the entire final revised manuscript, if possible including all illustrations, on floppy disk or CD, plus one immaculate hard copy of the full text and one set of high quality glossy prints of all illustrations, printed to a standard that the author considers to be optimal. Detailed instructions for preparing disk versions of accepted manuscripts can be found on the journal's Website.
Style and Presentation
The manuscript should be typed with double spacing throughout, allowing for ample margins. The first page should show the paper title, names and addresses of all authors, a short running title, and fax and telephone numbers and the e-mail address for the corresponding author. The second page should present a summary of less than 200 words, along with 3-5 key words, and should be followed by the text of the paper, arranged in the following sequence: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References. Informative legends should be provided for all illustrations and should be grouped together at the end of the paper, along with all tables.
Subheadings may be inserted in the main text, but should not be numbered or lettered. Manuscripts should be written in clear, grammatical, idiomatic English. Spelling should conform to Webster's International Dictionary or The Concise Oxford English Dictionary and data should be presented simply and concisely, using Systeme International (SI) units. Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and must be defined at their first occurrence.
Tables and Illustrations
All tables and illustrations should be referred to in the text, with appropriate locations indicated in the text margin. Tables should present new information and not duplicate data included in the text. Every table should have a descriptive title and, if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading.
Line drawings should be supplied in a form suitable for high-quality reproduction. Axes should be labelled clearly; other lettering should be kept to a minimum. Avoid the use of fine tints, especially as background to text. Photographs may be submitted either as electronic files or as glossy prints. One complete set of high quality glossy prints of all illustrations must be provided with the final revised and accepted manuscript. These should be supplied exactly as the author wishes to see them published with regard to layout, colour, resolution and contrast. One page of colour per paper is provided free of charge; further colour pages are invoiced at EURO 340.00 (c. USD 350.00) for each page, regardless of the number of figures on it. Magnifications must be shown by scale bars and any lettering should be in lower case Helvetica bold type, approximately 3 mm in height (12 or 14 point type size). Photomicrographs should be submitted at the correct size for final reproduction. They should be cropped as close as possible to the area of interest and should be 76, 106 or 160 mm wide (half, two-thirds or full page width), not exceeding 215 mm in depth.
Where two or more photographs are mounted together on one page, they should be separated by 2-3 mm of white space. The complete montage must conform to the dimensions given above. Glossy prints must be of high quality, with as much contrast as the subject allows. Electronic files must be provided as EPS, JPEG or TIFF, on 1.44 MB 3.5-inch disc, 100 MB ZIP disc, or CD-ROM in PC or MAC format.
References
References should be cited in the text using the Harvard (name-date) system. Where there are three or more authors, only the first author's name should appear, followed by et al. Where several references are cited at the same point in the text, these should be arranged in chronological order. The reference list should be typed with double spacing and arranged in alphabetical order. References should include: names and initials of all authors (unless there are more than six authors, when only the first three authors should be given, followed by et al.); year of publication; full title of the article; source using abbreviations for journals as shown in Index Medicus; volume number; and first and last page numbers. Abstracts should be identified as such. For citations from books, the chapter title should be followed by the names and initials of all editors, the title of the book, edition, place of publication, publisher and first and last page numbers. Examples:
Thomas HM, Harper JA, Morgan WG (2001) Gross chromosome rearrangements are occurring in an accession of the grass Lolium rigidum. Chromosome Res 9: 585-590.
Ohno S (2001) The one-to-four rule and paralogues of sex determining genes. In: Scherer G, Schmid M, eds. Genes and Mechanisms in Vertebrate Sex Determination. Birkhauser Verlag, pp 1-10.
Engel E, Antonarakis SE (2002) Genomic Imprinting and Uniparental Disomy in Medicine. New York: Wiley-Liss.
Only accepted papers should be referenced; all other material should be referred to in the text as 'in preparation', 'personal communication' 'unpublished observations' and should not be included in the reference list.
Citing Internet References
1. World Wide Web
All references should include the same information that would be provided for a printed source (or as much of that information as possible). The Web information is then placed at the end of the reference. It is important to use “Retrieved from?and the date because documents on the Web may change in content, move, or be removed from a site altogether. To cite a Web site in text (but not a specific document), it is sufficient to give the address (e.g., http://www.apa.org) there and no reference entry is needed. However, when citing a particular web page a citation in the text (e.g. Gaten 2000) and an entry in the reference list will be required.
For example:
Gaten E. (2000) Internet references. Retrieved from
http://www.le.ac.uk/biology/teach/mod300/ecitations.html 19/9/2000
2. E-mail
E-mail communications from individuals should be cited as personal communications. The format in the text (personal communications are not cited in the reference list) is as follows: (E. Gaten personal communication, March 28, 2001). It is possible to send an e-mail note disguised as someone else. Authors ?not journal editors or copy editors ?are responsible for the accuracy of all references, which includes verifying the source of e-mail communications before citing them as personal communications in manuscripts.
One of the most comprehensive guides to citing internet references is provided by the American Psychological Association:
