Instructions to Authors
Submission of Papers
Authors are requested to submit three copies of their manuscript and figures (regular papers, short communications, letters to the editor and announcements) to: Prof. Alan L. Harvey, Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, University of Strathclyde, 27 Taylor Street, Glasgow G4 0NR, Scotland, UK.
Review manuscripts on topics of interest to toxinologists and abstracts of articles of interest to toxinologists published in journals other than Toxicon should be sent to Prof. P.N. Strong, Sheffield Hallam University, Division of Biomedical Sciences, Sheffield S1 1WB, UK.
Mini-reviews and proposals for mini-reviews should be sent to Prof. Andr?Ménez, D.I.E.P., CEA/SACLAY, Bâtiment 152, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex, France.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher. The Editor welcomes submission by the authors of the names and addresses of up to four or five individuals who could expertly review the submitted manuscripts, and who are not from the same institutions as the authors. The Editor, of course, reserves the right to use these or other reviewers of his choice.
Language: English is the preferred language, but where submission of a manuscript in English is not possible, French, German or Spanish can be used as long as the paper is accompanied by a 200-300 word English abstract.
Manuscript Preparation
General: Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. The corresponding author should be identified (include a Fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. All numbers should be numbered consecutively. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. An electronic copy of the paper should accompany the final version. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use.
Paper length: Toxicon has set no standard length for papers, but the Editors insist upon a clear presentation of data in as concise a form as is consistent with good reporting. The fragmentation of a report into several short papers is discouraged.
Abstracts: There should be an abstract of no more than 200 words.
Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text (introduction, materials and methods, results and discussions), Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Vitae, Figure Captions and then Tables. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers.
Units: Units of measure must be clearly indicated.
Symbols: The Latin name must be given for all animal and plant species. Trade names or abbreviations of chemicals may be used only when preceded by the chemical or scientific name. Thereafter, trade names, common names or abbreviations should be used.
Mathematical equations: Compound numbers should be in bold face Arabic numerals or underscored.
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year of publication (e.g. "Since Peterson (1993) has shown that?" or "This is in the agreement with results obtained later (Kramer, 1994)"). For three or more authors use the first author followed by "et al.", in the text. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
References should be given in the following form:
Mihelich, E.D., Carlson, D.G., Fox, N., Song, M., Schevitz, R.W., Snyder, D.W., 1997. Structure based design and therapeutic potential of phospholipase A2 inhibitors. In: Uhl, W., Nevalainen, T.J., Buchler, M.W. (Eds.), Phospholipase A2 Basic and Clinical Aspects in Inflammatory Disease, Karger, Basel, pp. 140-145.
Possani, L.D., 1984. Structure of scorpion toxins. In: Tu, A.T.T. (Ed.), Handbook of natural toxins, vol. 2. Marcel Dekker, New York, pp. 513-550.
Smith, L.A., 1998. Development of recombinant vaccines for botulinum neurotoxin. Toxicon 36 (11), 1539-1548.
Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.
Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable. Photographs must be kept to a minimum.
Colour: Where colour printing is required the author will be charged for colour printing at the current colour printing costs.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs).
Electronic Submission
Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper with the final version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Full details of electronic submission and formats can be obtained from http://authors.elsevier.com.
Submission on Disk after Acceptance for Publication
Elsevier Science now publishes all manuscripts using electronic production methods and strongly encourages submission on disk. Please send the electronic files of your article along with the hardcopy of the accepted version. To ensure fast and easy processing of your submission, please adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Save text and graphics on separate disks.
2. Label all disks with your name, a short version of the article title, the journal to be published in, and the filenames. Please also include details of the software and platform (PC, Mac, UNIX, etc) used to create your files.
3. Ensure that the files on the disk match the hardcopy exactly. In cases of a discrepancy, the hardcopy version will be used as the definitive version.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the author (first named author if no corresponding author is identified of multi-authored papers) and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any others may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Please note that authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before return, since the inclusion of late corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofs are to be returned to the Log-in Department, Elsevier Science, Stover Court, Bampfylde Street, Exeter, Devon EX1 2AH, UK.
Offprints
Where the research is supported by a fund which can be used for pages charges, the author is invited to make a voluntary contribution towards publication costs, in which case 100 offprints will be supplied free of charge. Additional offprints and copies of the issue can be ordered at a specially reduced rate using the order form sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted. Orders for reprints (produced after publication of an article) will incur a 50% surcharge.
Copyright
All authors must sign the "Transfer of Copyright" agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Science Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, without the author relinquishing his/her proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microfilm or any other reproductions of a similar nature, and translations. It also includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any material for which copyright already exists.
