About the journal

Aims and Scope
Cytoskeleton focuses on all aspects of cytoskeletal research, spanning genetic and cell biological observations, biochemical, biophysical and structural studies, mathematical modeling and theory. This includes classic polymer systems of eukaryotic cells and their structural sites of attachment on membranes and organelles, as well as the bacterial cytoskeleton, the nuclear cytoskeleton, and unconventional polymer systems with structural/organizational roles. The journal is published in 12 issues annually, and special issues will be dedicated to intensely active or new areas of cytoskeleton research.
Cytoskeleton serves as a venue for rapid and fair review of manuscripts, leading to publication of high quality articles and reviews that advance the field. The journal welcomes submission of research papers, reviews & commentaries.
How to cite: To make sure that references to this journal are correctly recorded and resolved (for example in CrossRef or ISI Web of Science), please use the following abbreviated title in any citations: "Cytoskeleton." Punctuation may vary according to the style of the citing journal.

Wiley's Journal Styles and EndNote
Submission
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically at our new online submission site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cytoskeleton.
Manuscripts must be in English. Authors whose "first" language is not English should arrange for their manuscripts to be written in idiomatic English prior to submission. Either American or English style is acceptable; for the former consult Merriam-Webster, for the latter consult the Oxford Shorter Dictionary.
Each manuscript is assigned a number which is to be referred to in all communications.
Revised manuscripts will retain the original number if they are received in the Editorial Office within 90 days of the letter notifying the author of the decision to revise; otherwise, the manuscript will be treated as a new submission requiring original review.
The original manuscript and three copies of all components should be submitted in the following arrangement:
Title Page. This page should contain an informative title, the names and affiliations of all authors, the institution at which the work was performed, the name, address, telephone, telex, and FAX numbers for all contacts, and a short running title.
Abstract. This should be a factual condensation of the entire work and include statements of the problem, method of study, results, and conclusions. The abstract may not exceed 250 words.
Key Words. Supply a list of 5 or 6 key words or phrases not used in the title that will adequately index the subject material of the article.
Text. Text should have the following format: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgments, and References. Define all unusual abbreviations at first mention. For standard abbreviations, follow the guidelines in the CBE Style Manual, 6th Edition (Cambridge University Press). For chemical nomenclature, follow the Subject Index of Chemical Abstracts. Capitalize trade names and give manufacturers' names and addresses. All measurements are to be in metric units.
References.

References should be prepared according to CBE style. Refer to the CBE Style Manual, 6th Edition (Cambridge University Press). In the text, references should be cited by the name and date system (when there are more than two authors provide only the first name followed by "et al."). Citations such as "in preparation" and "personal communication" should be included parenthetically in the text; for personal communications, include institutional affiliation and date. In the final list, references must be double- spaced, in alphabetical order, and chronological for more than one reference with the same authorship. Use a letter suffix if more than one author reference is for the same year. Begin each reference with the names of all authors and the year of publication. For references to journals, give titles of articles in full, abbreviate journal names according to Index Medicus, and provide inclusive pagination. For references to books, include all authors' names, year of publication, chapter title (if any), editor (if any), book title, city of publication, and publisher's name. Note the following examples:
Journal article King VM, Armstrong DM, Apps R, Trott JR. 1998. Numerical aspects of pontine, lateral reticular, and inferior olivary projections to two paravermal cortical zones of the cat cerebellum. J Comp Neurol 390:537-551.
Book Voet D, Voet JG. 1990. Biochemistry. New York: John Wiley & Sons. 1223 p.
Book chapter Gilmor ML, Rouse ST, Heilman CJ, Nash NR, Levey AI. 1998. Receptor fusion proteins and analysis. In: Ariano MA, editor. Receptor localization. New York: Wiley-Liss. p 75-90.
Tables. Type each table, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. Tables must have self-explanatory titles, be numbered in order of appearance with Roman numerals, and be keyed to the text.
Illustrations
Illustrations, with their legends, must be self-explanatory and must be cited sequentially with arabic numerals within the text. Type legends double-spaced and consecutively on a separate sheet. Use lowercase roman letters to designate multiple parts within a figure (e.g., Fig. 1a and c). Affix a gummed label to the back of each figure, indicating the author's name, figure number, an arrow showing the top, and the desired final size. Illustrations composed of multiple pieces must be mounted. For optimal reproduction quality, original figures should not be larger than 11 1/2" x 16 1/2", or thicker than 1/8". Photographs. Photographs, including gels and micrographs, should be submitted as high-contrast black-and-white glossy prints. Ideally, micrographs should be planned so that they can be reproduced without reduction. Single- column figures must not exceed 3 5/16" x 9"; double- column figures must not exceed 6 13/16" x 9". In general, micrographs should not exceed one-half page, and a figure and its legend should always be designed to fit on a single page.
Limit the field of micrographs to the structures specifically discussed in the report. Place a tissue overlay over each micrograph, and on the overlay, circle lightly those areas for which the continuous tone should be most faithfully reproduced. Be sure that symbols and areas of special interest are not too close to the edges and that the corners are squared. Magnifications of figures are not permitted in the legends; authors must, on all prints, indicate scale used (µm scale). Labeling should be sans serif style, 3-3.5 mm high, in India ink or securely affixed transfer letters. Symbols used on micrographs must be explained in the figure legends.
Figures may also be prepared to "bleed," or extend beyond the edges of the page. Partial bleeds, with a figure extending beyond three of the page edges, should be prepared at 4 3/16" x 11 1/4" for single-column placement, or 8 1/2" in width and between 3 1/2" and 9" in length. Full-page bleeds should be prepared at 8 1/2" x 11 1/4". Care should be taken that no critical detail or labeling of any kind appear less than 5/8" from any edge of the prepared photograph. Requests for bleeds must be clearly specified. In general, discretion should be used in making these requests, and multiple full-page bleeds should be avoided when cited in close proximity within the text.
When submitting gels at reproduction size (single- column width or less is preferred), indicate "100%" on the back of the figure; otherwise, indicate the desired percentage of reduction. In the absence of such information, gels will be reduced at the discretion of the publisher.
Color. Authors are entitled to one free page of color. Additional color pages are billed to the author at the special reduced rate of $500 per page.
Line Drawings. Provide original black India ink drawings or sharp glossy prints. They will be reduced to one column (6 13/16") or less whenever practical. Make lettering sans serif and of such size that capitals, numbers, and symbols will reduce to a height of 1.5-1.75 mm. Plan figures and lettering so that size of lettering is in scale with the figure. Unsatisfactory drawings will be returned to the author for revision.
Cover Micrograph. Contributors are encouraged to submit micrographs for consideration for the journal cover. The micrograph should be a high-quality glossy print, enlarged to 8 3/8" x 7 3/8" and centered in the photograph the way it is to appear on the cover. Top and bottom should be accurately labeled. A brief figure legend should be included.
Micrographs will be selected for the cover on the basis of scientific significance and aesthetic value.
Video Reports. Where appropriate, manuscripts may be accompanied by video recordings illustrating both general and specific aspects of a motility phenomenon or a series of experimental results. Video is intended to demonstrate dynamic processes only.
Videos should be submitted in QuickTime 4.0 or higher format, and may be prepared on either a PC or MacIntosh computer. All videos should be submitted at the desired reproduction size and length. To avoid excessive delays in downloading the files, videos should be no more than 6MB in size, and the total length of the video presentation should not exceed ten minutes. Authors are encouraged to use QuickTime's "compress" option when preparing files to help control file size. Additionally, cropping frames and image sizes can significantly reduce file sizes. Files submitted can be looped to play more than once, provided file size does not become excessive. Authors will be notified if problems exist with videos as submitted, and will be asked to modify them. No editing will be done to the videos at the editorial office - all changes are the responsibility of the author.
Views And Reviews. Views and Reviews are timely, crisp overviews, intended to highlight topics of current interest in the field. Typically, these papers comprise 2-3 printed pages with 10-20 references and one display item (figure, diagram or table). Authors wishing to contribute an article should contact the Views and Reviews editor: Conly L. Rieder, Wadsworth Center for Labs and Research, Empire State Plaza, P.O. Box 509, Albany, NY 12201-0509 for further details.
