About the journal
|
Journal of Chemical Ecology is devoted to promoting an ecological understanding of the origin, function, and significance of natural chemicals that mediate interactions within and between organisms. The journal publishes original research and reviews concerned with both the biological and chemical aspects of chemical ecology, and includes observations of interactions in nature, and the elucidation and mechanisms of chemical compounds involved. |

Instructions to Authors
- The original (including illustrations), an electronic copy formatted in word, RTF, or PDF containing figures, text and tables as a single file, and the names and addresses of three potential reviewers should be sent to:
The Editors, Journal of Chemical Ecology
Department of Biology
University of South Florida
Tampa, FL 33620-5200
- Manuscript text, tables, references, footnotes, and legends must be type-written on one side of opaque paper, 22 ?28 cm, double-spaced throughout, and with at least 4 cm margins all around. All manuscripts must be dark and clear, and computer-printed manuscripts must be of letter-quality.
- The first page should include title, author(s), and affiliation(s). In coauthored manuscripts, designate with an asterisk the author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Include an e-mail address for the author receiving correspondence. A single-paragraph abstract is required, preferably on a separate page. Do not use the authority name after a scientific name in the title, and do not identify family and order in the title. Full scientific name and authority should be given in the Introduction or Methods and Materials, with order and family if that is desired. The abstract should be followed immediately by a list of approximately 10 key words suitable for information retrieval systems.
- Illustrations in the form of high quality, original, inked, line drawings or glossy photographic prints, or laser jet prints should be submitted in triplicate. Lettering should be sans serif, with consistency of size and thickness of line appropriate to the size and complexity of the drawing after reduction. Authors should anticipate that capital letters and numbers may be as small as 1.5 mm high and authors are advised to make a test reduction. Half-tones may be included only when deemed to be essential. Color illustrations are possible, but at the author's expense at a cost negotiable with the publisher. Brief but adequate legends for the illustrations should appear together on a separate page(s) following tables. Figures must be cited in the text. Identify figures on the back in pencil with author‘s name and number of the illustration. Electronic artwork submitted on disk should be in the TIFF or EPS format (1200 dpi for line and 300 dpi for half-tones and gray-scale art). Color art should be in the CYMK color space. Artwork should be on a separate disk from the text, and hard copy must accompany the disk.
- Tables should be numbered in one consecutive series of arabic numerals and should be referenced by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper following the references and should have a fully descriptive title.
- Style and format should follow usage in recent issues of the Journal. References should be cited in the author's-name-and-year style in the text and should be listed alphabetically at the end of the text. For journal title abbreviations, authors may use Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors (American Chemical Society, 1155 Sixteenth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036, USA). A useful guide to style, abbreviation, and symbols for biological sections of the text is the most recent edition of the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual (Council of Biology Editors, Inc., 9650 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA); for chemical sections, The ACS Style Guide: A Manual for Authors and Editors (American Chemical Society, address above) is recommended. Chemical nomenclature generally follows IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (Buttersworth & Co. Ltd., 88 Kingsway, London, WC2B 6AB, England) and the practices of the American Chemical Society journals. Levels of significance in analyses should conform to the conventional P > 0.05, 0.05 > P > 0.01, 0.01 > P > 0.001, or P < 0.001. Exact probability is acceptable, but any value less than 0.001 should be given as P < 0.001.
- Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.
- After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor's Office as hard copy accompanied by electronic files on disk. Label the disk with identifying information ?software, journal name, and first author's last name. The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out. The Editor's Office cannot accept a disk without its accompanying, matching hard-copy manuscript.
- The journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs.
Instructions for Rapid Communications
[These instructions cover the technical requirements for submission. Please refer to the Instructions to Contributors printed on the back inside cover of each issue of the journal (or on the journal Homepage) for additional instructions regarding the editorial content of your article.]
What is a Rapid Communication? It is a significant piece of research that has been completed. It is not a note of preliminary results. The work may have time urgency, particularly if it is in a rapidly moving discipline, or it may be simply the publicaion of choice for work that can be published in a short format. It may also be one step in a continuing research program that merits a short note, but that is not yet fully developed for full paper status. In some instances, a major research paper may follow that incorporates and builds upon the rapid communication.
- Manuscripts for Rapid Communications must be submitted electronically. Send as an e-mail attachment or on 3.5-in. high-density floppy disk (zip the files prior to submitting using WinZip) to:
John T. Romeo
Journal of Chemical Ecology
Department of Biology
University of South Florida
Tampa, FL 33620-5200
E-mail: romeo@chuma1.cas.usf.edu Include the names and addresses of three potential reviewers (and their phone, fax, and e-mail addresses).
- Rapid Communications are limited to four journal pages (including a maximum of one figure, one table, and ten references). The text of the article should not exceed 1500 words (deduct 250 words for each ?page figure or table). Abstracts should not exceed 200 words. Submissions for Rapid Communications are considered final. Authors will see electronic proofs, but only corrections to typesetting errors will be allowed.
- Manuscripts should be created in a recent version (Word 97 or higher) of Microsoft Word for PC. Use Times New Roman for text and the Symbol font for symbols). If you use a symbol that is not available in the Symbol font, please note so your cover letter or e-mail. Do not use special/hidden coding such as automatic footnotes or other Word features that place text outside the main document pane. Avoid autonumbering and automatic bullets. Avoid excessive formatting. Turn off "fast save" and "revisions."
- Follow the basic style of regular articles, e.g., ordering the elements: title, author, affiliation, etc. There is no need to format font size, spacing, paragraph indents, or page layout. Tables and display equations may be embedded in the text, but submit artwork in a separate file. Use Mathtype or Word's built in math editor for inline math or display equations. Include suggested running heads, figure captions, and footnotes at the end of the file.
- Illustrations should be saved as EPS files with previews (preferred) or TIFF. Acceptable applications are Adobe applications or Quark XPress. Do not use word processing or "office suite" applications. We cannot accept GIF or JPEG files. The resolution setting should be 1200 dpi for line art and 300 dpi for half-tones and gray-scale art. If Type 1 fonts are used in a PhotoShop or Illustrator file, be sure they are converted to paths or outlines. Select "include document fonts" or "convert to outlines" when saving your files. Size your figures as close as possible to the final size (no wider than 4-?inches; remember to take the length into consideration when finalizing your word count). Color art should be in the CMYK color space. Color art will be displayed in color in the online version free of charge. Color art in the print version is at the author's expense at a cost negotiable with the publisher.
- Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.
An original signed paper copy of the transfer of copyright must be mailed to the Editor.
- The journal makes no page charges.
