Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Preparation
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek welcomes research papers, review papers and short communications.
Research papers describing original research should not exceed ten pages of printed text, including tables, figures and references (one page of printed text = approx. 600 words).
Reviews not exceeding 25 pages of printed text, including tables, figures and references. Prospective authors are invited to contact the Editor-in-Chief with suggestions for reviews.
Short Communications not exceeding five pages of printed text should be prepared following the general style guidelines below but should not be divided into separate text sections. Short communications should be clearly labelled as such, before the Title on the first page of the manuscript.
Papers already published or in press elsewhere will not be accepted. If any part of the subject matter or experiments included in a manuscript submitted to the Journal have been the subject of any prior publication, this prior publication must be identified. Papers of restricted local importance will not be accepted.
The Journal requires the submission of manuscripts using our On-line submission procedure (see "Preparing manuscripts for On-line Submission" below). Submitting your text On-line will expedite publication. ALL manuscripts should conform to the following guidelines:
- Manuscripts should be written in standard English using British spelling. Authors for whom English is not their first language are strongly advised to have their manuscripts reviewed by someone proficient in the language prior to submission. Poorly written or formatted papers may be returned directly to the author before review. Papers should be mainly written in the past tense, particularly the Materials & Methods and the Results.
- Manuscripts should be typed clearly, double-spaced throughout on one side of A4 paper with margins of 3 cm. All pages (including the tables, figures, legends and references) must be numbered consecutively.
- The manuscript should be arranged in the following order.
Title page (page 1)
The title should be brief but informative and clearly relevant to the content. A subtitle may be used to supplement and thereby shorten an excessively long main title. Papers must not form part of a numbered series.
The author's full name(s) should be given with first names in full and all initials (if more than one, use '&' before the last name and indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed). Affiliation(s) and Present Address(es) should be indicated through the use of superscript numbers.
Full postal, telephone, fax and e-mail address details should be given for the corresponding author.
Key words/Abstract/Abbreviations (page 2)
Key words should be provided (a maximum of 6, in alphabetical order, suitable for indexing).
Abstract (brief and informative, not to exceed 250 words). No abbreviations should be used in the abstract.
Abbreviations (arranged alphabetically, only those which are not familiar and/or commonly used).
Main text
The text should be presented under the following headings: Introduction (including a consideration of the current literature and the objectives of the study), Materials & Methods (with sufficient detail to allow the work to be repeated), Results, Discussion and Conclusions. Results and Discussion may be combined if appropriate.
Tables should be placed after the References, followed by Figure Legends and finally Figures.
New paragraphs should be clearly indicated by indentations. The relative importance of headings and subheadings should be made clear by the use of bold and/or italic text as necessary. Artificial word breaks at the ends of lines must be avoided. Where non-standard abbreviations are to be used extensively, give each in full followed by the abbreviation in parentheses at the first time of usage. Include all abbreviations on the second page (see above). The use of footnotes should be avoided. However, if essential, they should be typed on the appropriate page, but clearly separated from the text with a line above them.
Citations of personal communications and unpublished data should be avoided, unless absolutely necessary. Such citations should appear in the text only, in parentheses, as in the following examples: (Dean Harrington, personal communication)
(Andrea Hamilton, unpublished data).
Tables and Figures should be kept to a minimum and should not be used where data can be adequately described by text alone. Data must be presented in Tables or Figures and not duplicated between each.
Names of microbial species and genera should be given in italics. As a guide for acceptable style please consult a recent issue of the journal. The use of bacterial names and the proposal of new taxa should follow the conventions of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (http://ijs.sgmjournals.org/).
Genetic sequence data will only be considered acceptable if accompanied by an accession number for an appropriate data bank (e.g. EMBL). This should be given at the end of the main body of text, preceding the acknowledgements.
Acknowledgements (including funding agencies and help from other colleagues) should follow the main text and precede the references.
References
Literature references should be listed alphabetically after the main text. Citations in the text should be referred to by author name and year of publication, enclosed in parentheses, e.g.
(Smith 1989; White et al. 1990).
Abbreviate titles of periodicals according to the style of the Bibliography Guide for Editors and Authors (Biosis, Chemical Abstract Service and Engineering Index, Inc., 1974).
References should contain: author(s) name(s) followed by author(s) initials, year, title of article (only first word and proper nouns capitalized), abbreviated journal title, volume number and inclusive page numbers. A recent issue of the journal and the following examples should be used for style guidance:

Citations relating to the use of Internet sources should be used minimally and only where the source is clearly reputable e.g. significant organisations. The name of the host organisation should be indicated and the URL should be given in the text only enclosed in parentheses. However, the URL for databases and on-line tools for bioinformatics should be given and where possible accompanied by an appropriate literature citation. The following examples are given for style guidance.
World Health Organisation (http://www.who.int/en/)
PROSITE (Gattiker et al. 2002; http://ca.expasy.org/prosite)
National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST server (Altschul et al. 1997; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/)
Tables
Each table should be typed on a separate page. Tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals, followed by a title in bold font. A short explanatory text should follow the title such that the table can be understood without reference to the main text. Horizontal rules should be indicated, and verticals avoided. Table footnotes should be marked with superscript numbers. Each table must be mentioned in the text.
Reproducibility of all results should be indicated noting how many times experiments were repeated and whether mean or representative results are shown. Valid statistical tests of significance should be applied where appropriate.
Tables may be edited by the publisher to permit more compact typesetting.
Figure Legends
These should follow the Tables on a separate page. Each figure should be mentioned in the text.
Figures and their legends should be identified by Arabic numbers and headed "Figure 1" etc., followed by a title in bold font. A short explanatory text should follow the title such that the figure may be understood without reference to the main text. Where multi-part figures are used, each part should be clearly identified in the legend, preferably with (lower case) letters.
Reproducibility of all results should be indicated noting how many times experiments were repeated and whether mean or representative results are shown. Valid statistical tests of significance should be applied where appropriate.
Figures
Line drawings must be in black and white and should not contain shading. Extremely small type should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size.
Do not give magnification or scales in the figure legends: instead draw bar scales directly on the figures.
Colour plates will be inserted only at the author's expense. Quotes will be provided for each individual case.
Abbreviations and units
SI units should be used, e.g.: mg, g, kg, km, m, cm, mm, ppm, cpm, qmCi (microCurie), l (litre), ml, s (second), min (minute), h (hour), mol, m3, kg per ha or kg ha3 (the minus index form is always to be used in tables).
Gene names should be presented in italic font.
Proofs and offprints
The author will be sent an offprint order form and 2 proofs for proofreading. 1 Set of corrected proofs together with the manuscript should be returned to the Publisher.
Papers will usually be published within six months after acceptance. PDFs of proofs will be made available online as "forthcoming papers" prior to printed publication. Final papers will be made available both on-line and in print.
50 offprints will be supplied free of charge.
