Instructions to Authors
The Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association (JAMCA) encourages the submission of previously unpublished manuscripts contributing to the advancement of knowledge of mosquito and vector biology and control. Manuscripts exceeding normal length (e.g., monographs) may be accepted for publication as a supplement to the regular issues.
Manuscripts should be sent to the Editor, JAMCA, Bruce E Eldridge, Department of Entomology, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA. Manuscripts are sent to 2 or 3 authorities for peer review. Their comments remain anonymous and are forwarded to the authors. The Editorial Board of the Journal serves as an adjudication panel for resolving conflicts between authors and the Editor.
Manuscripts for review must be submitted in triplicate (original with 2 copies, including all figures), typed or printed on 8'h X 11-in. (21.6 X 28.0-cm) bond paper with I-in. (2.5-cm) margins. Double-space throughout, including references, and indent paragraphs. Dot-matrix printers should not be used. The title page should include I) the title of the manuscript; 2) a short running head of not more than 40 letters and spaces; 3) the first name, middle initial, and last name of each author; 4) the name and address of each department and institution where the work was conducted; and 5) the name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the author to whom correspondence and reprint requests should be addressed.
Each regular article must be accompanied by an Abstract not longer than 3% of the paper. The abstract should state the objectives, findings, and conclusions of the paper. List 5 key words, to be used in the subject index, that best represent the contents of the article. The paper should be divided as follows: Abstract, Key Words, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, and References Cited. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and should be typed as endnotes on a separate page.
General text style includes the use of serial commas (apples, bananas, and oranges), except in the references when more than 2 authors are listed (Jones, Smith and Johnson). You may not begin sentences with abbreviations, including genus species abbreviations; spell out states mentioned without cities and spell out the names of months; use the 2-letter abbreviations for mosquito genera after 1st mention in abstract, text, or table; always use numerals, except to begin a sentence. An acronym or abbreviation may be used only after the full name has been spelled out on 1st use in the abstract or text, e.g., World Health Organization (WHO). Cite unpublished data and personal communications parenthetically in text, e.g., (Strickman and Kettayapong, unpublished data); and cite references in text using parenthetical entries in chronological, then alphabetical order, e.g., (Harrison 1990, Baimai 1992) or (Gabaldon 1990a, 1990b; Mekuria et ai. 1991). Please note that a comma is used between names if I publication year is referenced per author. A semicolon is used between names if multiple years are listed.
The References Cited list should only include papers actually cited. Citations should conform to the style presented in these instructions. For extended guidance, authors may consult Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (6th ed.), Council of Biology Editors, Inc. (the CBE Manual). References are alphabetized according to author name. To alphabetize author names, include all letters of the author surnames and initials or of the organization name or its abbreviation. When the author name of two or more references is identical, use the publication dates to order those references chronologically. Do not use et al., but list all authors. Abbreviations for journals are in accordance with the latest edition of BIOSIS Serial Sources. Spell out names of cities, use postal abbreviations for states (CA, MO, MI), and spell out names of countries outside the United States. The state is not required unless the city is not well known (e.g., Philadelphia and New York, but Emmaus, PA). Please note that publication titles (not article titles) are in italic type and have no punctuation after them.

Give sources (Name of Company, City, ST or Country: e.g., SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC) for all chemicals agents, materials, or instruments; also note products with registered trademarks (? upon first use. For more detailed information on style and format, authors may consult the CBE Manual.
Tables should be used sparingly and should be self-explanatory. Each table should be typed double-spaced on its own page, and all acronyms should be explained in a footnote. Preparation of line illustrations should follow the guidelines outlined in the CBE Manual. Only high-quality, computer-generated graphs will be accepted. Keys to symbols used in the figure should be included on the figure itself as artwork. Authors may be charged if artwork needs to be made to match the figure caption. Photographs should be glossy prints with sharp focus and good contrast. Changes made to illustrations at the proof stage are costly, and may be charged to the author.
Preliminary studies and significant observations may be submitted as Operational Notes or as Scientific Notes. The notes may contain l or 2 tables or illustrations, and acknowledgments should be included in the last paragraph of the text. There should be an Abstract and Key Words, but a running head need not be provided. Section headings are not used. Notes are usually 1/2 to 2 printed pages in length (2-8 manuscript pages).
Following peer review, authors are strongly urged to submit their revised manuscripts in electronic format. The disk copy must match the paper copy exactly. A reproducible paper copy of both the text and the figures must accompany the disk as a backup to the electronic file. Authors must use a 31/2-in. high-density floppy disk in either IBM or Macintosh formats. Microsoft Word files are preferred. Remove all formatting from the electronic file, including multiple columns, special paragraph styles, automatic page numbering and referencing, and multiple type fonts, sizes, and characteristics. Figures and tables may be saved in separate files. Figures must be in TIFF; BPS, PICT, or PC X formats. Extensive instructions for preparing electronic manuscripts can be found in the How-To's pages of Allen Press's web site, at www.allenpress.com. Click on the FAQ's and How-To's link on the home page.
Page charges are made for each printed page (approximately 4 manuscript pages), with the exclusion of Book Reviews and Obituaries. Papers are accepted for publication with the understanding that the $70.00 per page charge will be paid by the author or his or her agency to defray a portion of the cost of publication. Separate purchase orders may be issued for page charges and reprints; however, we prefer that they be combined. The reprint order form, which is mailed with the galley proofs, contains further information about placing orders, paying for page charges, and reprint charges. Authors should inform the editor whether page charges will be paid by their sponsoring organization or by the author personally. At least 1 author of each submitted manuscript must be a member in good standing of the AMCA.
