The Journal publishes original research papers and review articles.  Researchers from all countries are invited to publish pure or applied ecological, environmental or multidisciplinary agro-ecological research of international interest on its pages.
The focus is on topics such as:

  • biodiversity and ecosystem research
  • community and global ecology
  • evolutionary and population biology
  • climate change impact assessment
  • landscape ecology and conservation biology
  • multidisciplinary agro-ecological and environmental research
  • biometrics or biomathemethics in environmental science
  • ecological and sustainable agriculture
  • natural resource management
  • ecological monitoring and modeling
  • statistics and modeling in epidemiology.
The Journal publishes theoretical papers as well as application-oriented contributions and practical case studies. There is no bias with regard to taxon or geographical area. Purely descriptive papers (like taxonomic lists) will not be accepted for publication.

The journal is published in yearly volumes of four issues. The journal will have a limited number of printed copies (mainly for libraries), articles and their appendices (if any) will be available on our website for free download.

Instructions to Authors
Applied Ecology and Environmental Research publishes original research papers, review articles, short communications (scientific publications), book reviews, forum articles, announcements or letters. Researchers from all countries are invited to publish ecological, environmental, biomathematical, agroinformatical or multidisciplinary research of international interest on its pages. There is no bias with regard to taxon or geographical area. Manuscripts (of scientific publications) should present new scientific findings that have not been published before and are not submitted for publication elsewhere.

Papers must be in English, but short abstracts in other language(s) should be added. All manuscripts are peer reviewed by at least two independent referees. Papers accepted for publication by the editorial board are subject to editorial revision.

Public agreement for publishing. 

  1. The authors declare that the submitted manuscript is their own work, which has not been published anywhere else before and that they are not willing to publish it anywhere later.
  2. The authors take responsibility for the content of the publication.
  3. It is the responsibility of the author to obtain written permission for reproducing illustrations or tables from other published material.
  4. The authors and the journal agree that the journal publish the reviewed and accepted manuscript after technical construction in printed and in electronic form.
  5. The authors and the journal agree not to lay any claim to financial demand, except in the case of conditional acceptance, when the author bear the finantial burdens of the technical editing and reviewing work as an expertise fee.

Preparation of Manuscipts


sample.dot


Please observe the following points in preparing manuscripts. Papers not conforming closely to these instructions may be returned to their authors for appropriate revision or may be delayed in the review process.

Readability: Manuscripts should be written in clear, concise and grammatically correct English (British or American English throughout). The editors can not undertake wholesale revisions of poorly written papers. Every paper must be free of unnecessary jargon and clearly readable by any specialist of applied ecology or environmental research. The abstract should be written in an explanatory style that will be comprehensible also to readers who are not experts in the subject matter.

General format: The complete paper has to be written preferably in Rich Text Format or in a MS-Word 2003 compatible file, with a maximum of 30 pages including text, figures and tables. Page size: A4, margins: 3 cm on each side, line spacing: single, font type: Times New Roman. Please leave headers and footers unchanged, since it should be filled by the editors.

The order of the material should be as follows: Title, Author(s), Abstract, Keywords, Main text (Introduction, Review of literature, Definitions (if any), Materials and methods, Results, Discussion),  Acknowledgements (if any), References, Appendix (if any). This structure of the main text is not obligatory, but the paper must be logically presented. Footnotes  should be avoided.  The main text must be written with font size 12, justify, first indent 0.5 cm. Within each main section, two levels of subheadings are available and the titles must be with bold, bold and italic, italic respectively.

The manuscript should contain tho whole text, figures, tables and explanations according to the followings (we suggest using the sample.dot file):

Title: Should be brief and informative. The title should reflect the most important aspects of the article, in a preferably concise form of not more than 100 characters and spaces. Font size 14, capital letters, center alignment. Style: 01 Title of Paper

By-line: Names (size 11, small capital, Style: 02 Names of Authors) of the authors. No inclusion of scientific titles is necessary. In case of two or more authors, place their names in the same row, separate them with a hyphen (not with a comma) and please indicate the corresponding author with * in superscript. Authors from different institutions must be labelled with numbers in superscript after the names. Addresses of the authors, phone and fax number and e-mail should be also given (size 11, italic, Style: 03 Addresses of Authors).

[1]    Podani, J. (1994): Multivariate Data Analysis in Ecology and Systematics. – SPB Publishing, The Hague

or

[2]    Thompson, J.N. (1984): Insect Diversity and the Trophic Structure of Communities. – In: Huffaker, C. B. (ed.) Ecological Entomology, Wiley-Interscience, New York
 

For journal references indicate the author(s), year of publication, the title of the paper, title of the journal, volume number, first and last page.

[3]    Tóthmérész, B. (1995): Comparison of different methods for diversity ordering. – Journal of Vegetation Science 6: 283–290.

For references to working papers or dissertations cite the author, title, type of document, department, university and location.
 
 

Figures:  All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be numbered consecutively (e.g. Figure 1) in the order in which they are referred in the text. Caption must appear below the figure (size 11, italic) and should be sufficiently detailed to enable to understand apart from the text. The style Figure 1. 10 Figure Titles should be used, which also contains the serial number of the given figure (since it is a listing), so consecutive numbers of figures will be generated automatically. Thus, you don’t need to number them manually.
Explanation of lettering and symbols should be given also in the caption and only exceptionally in the figures. Figures should be of good quality and preferably in black and white. (Color figures will appear in the downloadable files, but all papers will be printed in black and white.)
Figures should be designed to fit to the text area and must be embedded. In addition authors are requested to submit each figure also as an image file in one of the following formats: pcx, bmp, tif, wmf, jpg or eps.

Tables: Tables should be self-explanatory. They should be mentioned in the text, numbered consecutively (e.g. Table 1) and accompanied by title at the top (size 11, italic). For the title of Tables use: Table 1. 11 Table Titles, which style also contains the serial number of the given table (since it is a listing), so consecutive numbers of tables will be generated automatically. In this case you don’t need to number them manually.
Each column should should carry a brief, appropiate heading. Use Style 14 Table Text Bold for headings and 14 Table Text for data. Tables will be reproducted in the journal in the format presented in the final submission. Please insert all the tables in the text, do not enclose huge tables which can not be fit within the page margins.

Mathematical expressions:  In general minimize unusual typographical requirements, use solidus, built-up fractions. Avoid lengthy equations that will take several lines (possibly by defining terms of the equation in separate displays). For drawing equations please use the Equation Editor of Word. Make subscripts and superscripts clear. The letter l and the number 1, the letter O and the number 0, which are identical on most keyboards, should be identified clearly. The meaning of the symbols and the difference between upper and lower case letters should be defined. Display only those mathematical expressions that must be numbered for later reference or that need to be emphasized. Number displayed equations consecutively throuhout the paper. The numbers should be placed in parentheses to the right  of the equation e.g. ( Eq. 1), which is generated automatically by the Style: 12 Equation Numbers.
