About the journal
HOMO is an international scientific journal in the field of biological anthropology with focus on its population historic, ontogenetic and ethological aspects. Through special consideration of general topics as well as those aspects of human biology which touch on the humanities, demography and health sciences, the journal HOMO attempts to foster an interdisciplinary view of the human being. A comprehensive book review section also serves these purposes.
Instructions to Authors
Guidelines for authors
Each manuscript should be prepared according to the guidelines compiled below and also available on
Internet. Manuscripts and illustrations not prepared in the correct format will be returned to the authors
for corrections prior to being sent out for review.
Electronic submissions by e-mail are preferred as they greatly speed up the review process. It is advised
that the authors should keep an identical paper copy of the manuscript submitted online. Alternatively,
submit by mail the original manuscript and original prints of all illustrations (in three copies), as well as a
disk copy or CD-ROM containing text, all tables and figures. Text should be submitted as RTF or Word
file, figures in PDF, TIFF or JPEG, tables in RTF or Excel format.
Submit manuscripts to:
Professor Maciej Henneberg,
Editorial Office: Journal of Comparative Human Biology HOMO
Department of Anatomical Sciences
University Adelaide, Adelaide 5005, Australia
(Tel.: +61 8 83035998, Fax: +61 8 83034398 e-mail: maciej.henneberg@adelaide.edu.au)
Manuscripts should be submitted as a single file not exceeding 5MB (text, tables and figures all together
in one file). If the manuscript will be accepted for publication, the editors may ask the author for better
quality (higher resolution) figures (see details bellow in section: Final submission of illustrations).
Manuscripts should be written in English. Authors whose mother tongue is not English should have the
manuscript translated by a professional translator or checked by a native English speaker prior to
submission. Use one spelling style throughout the entire manuscript (Example: colour, palaeoanthropol-
ogy and metre in British English or color, paleoanthropology and meter in American English).
Typing (in Times or Times New Roman for English language, font size 12) must be in 1.5 line spacing,
aligned to the left, unjustified margins at the right. No footnotes are allowed in text. First paragraph line
indented 0.5 cm, reference list pendant 0.5 cm. Title and chapter headings in larger font, bold face,
sub-chapter headings in bold and smaller than title and chapter headings (all in normal face not in
italics). Use separate line for each chapter or sub-chapter heading. Do not number the chapters or sub-
chapters. Use italics for species, genus names, medical terms in Latin or, however as rarely as possible, for
stressing a particular fragment (examples: Australopithecus africanus, hyperostosis frontalis interna, ‘‘The
coronal talar neck plane is the planey’’). Number each line and page consecutively starting with the very
first page.
Submit a manuscript without any unnecessary or hidden formatting.
Title page:
The title page must contain:

Abstract
The abstract briefly presents the objectives of the study, major results and conclusions in a language as
non-technical as possible. It should not exceed 250 words. Authors whose mother tongue is not English
are invited to add an abstract of similar length in their own language. If it requires special characters, it
should be submitted in both RTF and PDF versions to ensure correct reproduction of special characters.
The text:
The main portion of the manuscript should be divided into sections such as e.g.: Introduction, Materials
and Methods (or Materials, Methods), Results, and Discussion followed by Acknowledgements and
References. Chapters which reflect topics of the manuscript are welcome, too. Add Legends to Figures on
a separate page at the end of the text after References.
The sections can be divided into sub-sections but the use of numerous sub-sections should be avoided.
Metric system:
The metric system, in SI version, must be used for all measurements. Celsius (= centigrade) degrees
should be used to describe temperatures. Metric abbreviations should be expressed in standard lower-
case, without fullstops (examples: mm kg km m2
).
Abbreviations (other than commonly accepted):
Should be used to a minimum in the text; full names of terms are preferred. The first time full term should
be used in the text followed by the abbreviation in brackets, and then only the abbreviation may be used
(example: ‘Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a bilateral thickening of the endocranial surfacey.?
‘The frequency of HFI in skeletal samples y?
If used only in tables and figures, the abbreviations should be fully explained in the appropriate captions.
References to the literature:
In text:
Should be by the author’s surname only with the year of publication in brackets. Where there are two
authors the names should be linked by "and". Where there are more than two authors the reference
should be quoted - first author followed by "et al" (not in italics). If references are given in brackets the
author’s surname and the year of publication should be separated by a comma. If there is more than one
reference of the same author, years of publication should be separated by commas. References of the
same author that appeared in the same year should be indicated by first letters of the alphabet and
separated by commas. References to publications of different authors should be separated by semicolons.
Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). If many references are listed, they should appear first
in alphabetical order of authors surnames and then by the ascending year of publication. References to
unpublished or submitted data should be avoide.
Examples:
As indicated by Henschen (1949)y.;
Hahn and Czarnetzki (1980) studiedy.. or (Hahn and Czarnetzki, 1980);
Angel et al. (1987) studied; ywas prepared (Angel et al., 1987);
Hann (1986a, 1986b, 1988); Flores et al. (2000a, 2000b); (Flores et al., 2000a, 2000b)
ywere studied (Anderson, 1993; Angel et al., 1987; August and Chrisman, 1988; Flores et al., 2000a,
2000b; Glab et al., 1998; Hann, 1986a, 1988; Phillips, 1996).
In section References:
The references (bibliography) at the end of the manuscript should be listed in alphabetical order under
the first author’s name and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference
from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after
the year of publication All names of the authors of the referred paper should be included. Only works
referred to in the text should be included in the list. Titles of the journals should be abbreviated (use the
abbreviated form officially accepted by given journal or, as it appears in Current Contents, Medline or
any other major literature search source).
Examples:
van Vark, G.N., Holt, K.G., 1989. Some tests. Ann. Hum. Biol. 16, 301?10.
Wolpoff,M.H., 1992. Theories of origins. In: Bra ?BR>uer, G., Smith, F.H. (Eds.) Continuity or Replacement.
Balkema, Rotterdam, pp. 25?3.
Bernhard, W., 1991. Ethnische Anthropologie. G Fischer, Stuttgart.
Tables should be printed with a concise explanatory caption above the table and each column should carry
a separate heading. Additional explanations (such as of abbreviations) should be given as footnotes. In the
table format only horizontal lines need to be used and the number of these should be kept to a minimum.
Do not use gridlines automatically provided by some programmes. Each table should be typed on a
separate page. Normally, tables must fit on the A4 page. Figures should be used with discretion and are
only justified if they clarify or reduce the text. Data should be presented only once in a graph or a table,
not in both. Original figures should be approximately twice their final size but must not exceed the size of
A4 paper. Letters in figures must be at least 2 mm high after size reduction of figures to 1/2 of A4 page.
The figures should be submitted separately from the text only after the manuscript is accepted for
publication and when the editor asks for sending them directly to the publisher. A brief descriptive legend
should be provided for each figure; the legends should be typed on a separate page (see also The text).
Figures and tables should always be referred to in the text [Examples: "... was shown in Fig. 1"‘The two
distributions ... shown... (Fig.1)."; ?.. described in Table 1.? ‘There is no difference between ... (Table
1)."]. The author may mark in the manuscript where figures and tables are to be inserted.
The editors and publishers reserve the right to ask the authors for additional formatting of tables and figures.
The editors may reject the manuscript if after revisions the manuscript is resubmitted in incorrect format (i.e.
not following these guidelines or editors?request).
Final submission of illustrations (figures): Illustrations for final printing may need to be submitted
separately from text files. Files for full color images must be in a CMYK color space. All illustration files
should be in TIFF or EPS formats. Files should be given the 2 or 3-letter extension that identifies the file
format used (i.e., .tif, .eps). Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at
resolutions yielding approximately 300 dpi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions
yielding 600?200 dpi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your
images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly. For further information
on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see www.elsevier.com/locata/authorartwork.
Free colour reproduction. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures then
Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g.,
ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in
the printed version. Colour figures can be printed only if the costs are covered by the author (Euro 450.00
for first colour page, Euro 350.00 for every following colour page).
There are no page charges and 25 offprints of each paper are supplied free of charge. Authors who pay for
printed colour figures will be sent another 50 free offprints. Additional offprints may be ordered when
proofs are returned.
Until publication of the print edition, corrected proofs will be available online first (www.sciencedirect.
com).
Book reviews will be published in English and should be not longer than one printed page.
