About the journal
|
Journal of Fluorescence is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original articles that advance the practice of this established spectroscopic technique. Topics covered include advances in theory/and or data analysis, studies of the photophysics of aromatic molecules, solvent, and environmental effects, development of stationary or time-resolved measurements, advances in fluorescence microscopy, imaging, photobleaching/recovery measurements, and/or phosphorescence for studies of cell biology, chemical biology and the advanced uses of fluorescence in flow cytometry/analysis, immunology, high throughput screening/drug discovery, DNA sequencing/arrays, genomics and proteomics. Typical applications might include studies of macromolecular dynamics and conformation, intracellular chemistry, and gene expression. The journal also publishes papers that describe the synthesis and characterization of new fluorophores, particularly those displaying unique sensitivities and/or optical properties. In addition to original articles, the Journal also publishes reviews, rapid communications, short communications, letters to the editor, topical news articles, and technical and design notes. |

Instructions to Authors
- Manuscripts, in triplicate and in English, should be submitted to the Editor:
Chris D. Geddes
Editor: The Journal of Fluorescence
Center for Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
University of Maryland School of Medicine
725 West Lombard Street, N-256
Baltimore, Maryland 21201
Telephone: (410) 706-8409
Fax: (410) 706-8408
e-mail: jof@cfs.umbi.umd.edu Electronic submissions are particularly encouraged as these will inevitably result in a quicker review process. For the electronic submission of manuscripts, files in standard formats, e.g. Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or WordPerfect, etc. should be e-mailed to the editorial office. So as to identify corrupt e-mail files and to minimize the disruption caused in the event of lost files, three hard copies must also be submitted simultaneously by mail, accompanied by a cover letter, to the editor in the usual manner.
- 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 (Copyright Transfer Form). The Editor-in-Chief 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. The authors should indicate in a footnote if a preliminary report has been published or submitted elsewhere, and should include two copies of such a report at the time of submission.
- Type double-spaced, and submit the original and three copies (including, where possible, copies of all illustrations and tables). All copies must be dark, sharp, and clear. Computer-generated manuscripts must be of letter quality (not dot-matrix). Electronic submissions must be accompanied by three mailed hard copies, where both versions must be identical.
- A title page is to be provided and should include the title of the article, author's name (no degrees), author‘s affiliation, and suggested running head. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city, and state (or nation) and should be typed as a footnote to the author‘s name. The suggested running head should be less than 80 characters (including spaces) and should comprise the article title or an abbreviated version thereof. For office purposes, the title page should include the complete mailing address and telephone number of the one author designated to review proofs.
- An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 200 words.
- A list of 4? key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes.
- All sections should carry headings (such as INTRODUCTION, EXPERIMENTAL, etc.), typed flush left.
- Mathematical notation and equations should be typewritten wherever possible. If handwritten notation must be used, it should be clear and legible, with any necessary explanatory notes located in the margin. Equations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses placed flush right, and should be thusly referred to in the text [such as Eqs. (2) and (6)].
- Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals. The captions for illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of paper. All illustrations must be complete and final, i.e., camera-ready. Photographs should be large, glossy prints, showing high contrast. Drawings should be prepared with india ink. Either original drawings or good-quality photographic prints are acceptable. Identify figures on the back with author's name and number of the illustration. Reproduction of illustrations in color is possible by special arrangement, with the total cost, which is significant, borne by the author. 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 (with Roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper.
- List references numerically at the end of the paper. Use the appropriate Arabic numeral in square brackets on the baseline for citation in the text. Where there are three or more authors, only the first author‘s name is given in the text, followed by et al. References should include (in this order): initials and last names of all authors, year published, name of publication, volume number, and inclusive pages. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to that used in the journal ?illustrated by the following examples:

3. W. W. Mantulin and H. J. Pownall (1983) in R. F. Steiner (Ed.), Excited States of Biopolymers, Plenum Press, New York, pp. 163?02.
- Footnotes should be avoided. When their use is absolutely necessary, footnotes should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be typed at the bottom of the page to which they refer. Place a line above the footnote, so that it is set off from the text. Use the appropriate superscript numeral for citation in the text.
- 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.
