Please submit your manuscript on diskette, zip, or CD-ROM with two hardcopies and retain a copy for yourself. Manuscripts must conform to the journal style and should be submitted in the final version containing all revisions. Upon acceptance of your manuscript, you will receive the Manuscript Submission form to be returned to the corresponding editor within five days. This form includes, among other items, your complete correspondence address, the copyright transfer agreement, and the guidelines for colour print charges.
In consultation with the appropriate experts on the Editorial Board, the Editors decide on acceptance of articles, corrections, and revision where necessary.
Your manuscript will be destroyed three months after publication. Only appropriately marked originals will be returned. The publisher cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss through the post.
3. REQUIREMENTS FOR MANUSCRIPTS
3.1. Format
Manuscripts should be submitted in three copies in one of the official languages of publication. They must be typewritten double-spaced on paper with lines numbered along the left margin. Pages should be numbered with the title page as page 1. Page size should be according to the DIN A4-format (21 ¡Á 29.7cm) with a left-hand margin of 4 cm. Each article should contain the following sections: Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Summary, References. The short summary (for German articles, this must be in both German and English) gives the major objectives, methods, results, conclusions and practical applications of the research. In the case of Short communications, the headings may be omitted, but the structure of the paper should, more or less, follow that of original articles.
In addition to the name(s) of the author(s), the address(es) of the institution(s) where the work was carried out should be given at the beginning of the article. At the end of the manuscript (immediately below the last reference in the references section), the full address and email address of the corresponding author must be given.
The manuscript comprises a printout of the text and a list of all figures and tables with their captions and titles on a separate piece of paper, that bears the name(s) of the author(s), the title of the article, and the figure/table number on the back. We ask that you convey the essential information within the first 60 characters of the captions to accommodate the online edition. Each figure, table, and bibliographic entry must have a reference in the text. For all figures please include reproduceable artwork (marked with the author's name, short title, and figure number).
The data carriers (diskette, etc.) must be PC/Windows-compatible and may not contain any files other than those for the current manuscript. Please include a list of the files, noting the file name, the computer program and its version number. Please do not import the figures into the text file. The text should be prepared using standard software (Microsoft Word, Word Perfect) or saved in rtf format; do not use automated or manual hyphenation. Please do not include footnotes.
For further information please consult
www.blackwell-science.com/elecmed/authors.htm.
3.2. Length
Including illustrations, tables, and references, manuscripts should not exceed 15 pages of DIN A4. The summaries must be limited to 1200 characters. The number and size of figures and tables must be strictly limited to the essential minimum.
3.3. Units, Abbreviations and Nomenclature
All units of measurement must follow the SI system. Concentrations of solutions should be given as molar concentrations. All other concentrations should be expressed as percentages.
Abbreviations of biological, medical, chemical, and other terms should only be used when such abbreviations are both internationally recognized and unambiguous. The first use of an abbreviation must be explained by also giving the unabbreviated term.
All biological, medical, chemical, and other names should be given in keeping with the latest international nomenclature. If an animal is being mentioned in the text for the first time, the binomial name should be given, e.g. carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Thereafter, this can be abbreviated to C. carpio.
3.4. Illustrations and Tables
Figures should be saved in a neutral data format such as TIFF or EPS, and a printout should always be included. Powerpoint and Word graphics are unsuitable for reproduction. Please do not use any pixel-oriented programmes. Scanned figures (only in TIFF format) should have a resolution of 300 dpi (halftone) or 600 to 1200 dpi (line drawings) in relation to the reproduction size. Photographic material should be of such quality that high-contrast reproductions can be made; photostats of photographs are unacceptable.
Please submit the data for figures in black and white. However, colour photos can be reproduced in black and white (with a possible loss of contrast). Figures printed in colour are subject to an added charge. Colour print charges are explained on the manuscript submission form. Colour graphics should be created using the CMYK colour palette (print colours), not RGB (monitor colours). There is a charge for alterations to figures when carried out by the publisher.
Please note that figures will generally be reduced to fit within the column-width or the print area. This means that numbering and lettering must still be readable when reduced (e.g. maps) and that the scale might not correspond with the original (microscopic pictures), thereby invalidating references to scale in the text. If a figure is to be cropped, please mark the lines on a photocopy or tracing paper. Printouts should be made with a laserprinter at the highest resolution (> 600 dpi). If artwork is to be scanned, line drawings should only be contour drawings without halftones (shades of grey). Only reproducible original line drawings (not larger than 30 40 cm) or high-quality photostats (on DIN A4) may be submitted. Please do not use patterns; rough hatching is possible.
Graphs with an x and y axis should not be enclosed in frames; only 2-dimensional representations. Tables should be created using the table function. To ease the setting of the tables in accordance with the style of the journal, they should be clearly arranged with the minimum of rules.
Do not forget the labels and units. Captions for the figures should give a precise description of the content and should not be repeated within the figure. The illustration of a particular point using both figures and tables is to be avoided. If figures or tables are taken from another publication, the source must be mentioned.
3.5. References
Each original contribution and short communication should contain a bibliography, reduced to the essential minimum. The name of a journal in which a paper appears should be given in its abbreviated form, as it appears in the journal itself. If the title is not abbreviated, DIN standard no. 1502, with supplements, should be consulted.
The references should be given in alphabetical order, and should give the full title of the paper. If there is more than one reference by the same author(s) the name(s) must not be substituted by a dash but given in full. Prefixed names such as O'BRIEN, VAN DER FECHT, D'ESTAING etc. should arranged on the basis of the first letter of the main part of the name, thus, D'ESTAING would appear under 'E', not 'D'. Anonymous articles should be cited at the beginning of the bibliography.
References should be given in the following form:
a. From journals: Surname, initials of the author(s) first name(s), year of publication, title of article, abbreviated title of journal, volume number in italics, first page number of the article. Please pay attention to the punctuation in the following example:
Stangl, G. I., Schwarz, F. J., Kirchgessner, M., 1998: Title of article. J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. 80, 1.
b. From books and other non-serial publications: Surname, initials of author(s) first name(s), year of publication, title, edition number (if it is not the first edition), volume number (if the title contains more than one volume), publisher, and place of publication. Please pay attention to the punctuation in the following examples:
Kirchgessner, M., 1997: Tierernährung. 10. neubearb. Aufl. Verlags Union Agrar, DIG-Verlags-GmbH, Frankfurt am Main.
Citations from handbooks, serial books, and proceedings must contain the names of the editors:
Edwards, C., 1990: Mechanisms of action on dietary fibre on small intestinal absorption and motility. In: Furda, I. (ed.), New Developments in Dietary Fiber. Plenum Press, New York. Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology Vol. 270, 95-104.
Unpublished works must have already been accepted for publication and marked as 'in press'. The citation of personal communications and unpublished data must be confined to the body of the text.
Within the text, citations should be made by putting the surname of the author and the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. (Kienzle 1998). With two authors, the surnames of the authors should be given, e.g. (Kienzle and Maiwald 1998); with more than two authors, the surname of the first author should be given and followed by 'et al.', e.g. (Kirchgessner et al. 1998). If the author(s) name(s) are given within the context of the script, the year of publication should be given in parentheses, e.g. ...as described by Kienzle and Maiwald (1998).
If various publications by the same author(s) and published in the same year are cited, a, b, c etc. must be added to the year of publication, e.g. (Kirchgessner et al. 1998 a, b). This lettering must also correspond to the same lettering within the bibliography.
3.6. Laboratory Animals
Animal experiments are to be undertaken only with the purpose of advancing knowledge and in a manner that avoides unnecessary discomfort to the animals by the use of proper management and laboratory techniques. They shall be conducted in compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations, and in accordance with the internationally accepted principles and guidelines for the care and use of agricultural, laboratory or experimental animals.
In the interests of the reproducibility of results, accurate information about any test animals used in the experiments (origin, inbreeding etc.), as well as information about the housing conditions (diet, environment etc.), should be given.
4. COPYRIGHT
