Instructions to Authors
Subject Matter.The journal publishes research articles concerning any aspect of low temperature biology and medicine: studies of freezing, freeze-drying, hibernation, cold tolerance and adaptation, cryoprotective compounds and their mechanisms of action; medical applications of reduced temperature, including cryosurgery, hypothermia, perfusion of organs; and all pertinent techniques.
Submission of Manuscripts. Manuscripts should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief:
Professor David E. Pegg
CRYOBIOLOGY Editorial Office
Department of Biology
PO Box 373
University of York
York YO10 5YW, UK
Telephone: (+44) 1904 328648
Fax: (+44) 1904 328609
E-mail: biol29@york.ac.uk
Original papers only will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been published, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out. Any approvals and clearances required by an author's institution must be obtained before a manuscript is submitted. All papers must include a statement of the source of funding for the study that is described, and any affiliation that might be perceived to constitute a conflict of interest must be disclosed. This information will be printed as a footnote to the title. A completed submission form should accompany each manuscript.
Copyright. Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher. The Copyright Transfer Agreement should be signed by the appropriate person(s).
Authors are responsible for obtaining permissions to reprint previously published figures, tables, and other material.
Format of Manuscripts. Manuscripts should be typewritten or word-processed articles, double- or triple-spaced, on one side of 8.5 x 11-in. or A4 paper. The original manuscript and two copies, complete with all tables and photographs, are required. Manuscripts may not be submitted by e-mail or facsimile. Manuscript pages must be numbered in consecutive order. Line-numbering of the two copies is requested. The title (first) page should provide the article title, author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the name, complete mailing address, fax number, and e-mail address of the person to whom the proofs should be forwarded.
Abbreviations and Units. Use the latest edition of the American Chemical Society Style Guide. The preferred chemical abbreviation for dimethyl sulfoxide is Me2SO rather than DMSO. All abbreviations must be defined when first mentioned in the text. In general, SI units are preferred but temperature should be expressed on the Celsius scale. Where relevant, Kelvin units may be used, but the equivalent in degrees Celsius must be added in parentheses.
Regular Papers. Regular papers will describe experimental findings, techniques, or theory. They will consist of an abstract that summarizes the objective of the study, the methods used, and the conclusions reached. Abstracts should not exceed 250 words and should be adequate for direct presentation to abstracting services. After the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching must be included. The Introduction will contain a statement of the purpose of the work, the problem that stimulated it, and a brief summary of relevant published investigations. The Materials and Methods section must be presented in sufficient detail to enable other investigators to repeat the work. The Results should be concise and should avoid redundant tables and figures illustrating the same data. The Discussion should interpret results, with minimal recapitulation of findings.
Brief Communications. Brief communications are concise reports of original findings, techniques, or theory and include an abstract no longer than 150 words and a list of up to 10 keywords. They are not divided into sections. As a guideline it is suggested that there should be no more than 3 tables and/or figures and a maximum of 10 references. The total length, including references, should not exceed 2500 words.
Reviews. Authors considering submitting a review article should first discuss their proposal with the Editor or a member of the Editorial Board. As with regular papers and brief communications, reviews will be subject to peer review.
Letters to the Editor. Letters to the editor should concern matters of general interest to the readership of the journal or papers recently published in the journal. Authors of papers that are the subject of comment will be given an opportunity to reply. Letters may not exceed 1 printed page in length and if publication deadlines are pressing, proofs might not be provided. The Editor's decision will be final.
Figures and Illustrations. These should be kept to the minimum necessary for adequate presentation of the material. Figures must be ready for publication but only the original set of figures need be of quality suitable for reproduction. Text in figures (axes labels, etc.) should be sized to appear in type that will be between 8 and 10 point upon reduction. Clear 6-point type may be appropriate for insets and 12-point type is presentable for part labels. Figures should be identified on the back by Arabic numerical order with the author's last name and the word "TOP" at the appropriate edge. Each figure must be accompanied by a legend, and a list of all legends should be typed on a separate page. Illustrations in color can be accepted only if the authors defray the full cost. Full details of electronic preparation of artwork can be obtained from http:/authors.elsevier.com.
References. References to literature should be arranged in alphabetical sequence and numbered in that order. In the text all references should be indicated by Arabic numbers, on line, in brackets. The reference list must appear on a separate page and must be styled in accordance with the following examples:
[1] G.M. Fahy, The role of nucleation in cryopreservation, in: R.E. Lee, G.J. Warren, L.V. Gusta (Eds.), Biological Ice Nucleation and Its Applications, APS Press, St. Paul, MN, 1995, pp. 315-336.
[2] J. Levitt, Responses of Plants to Environmental Stresses, 2nd ed. Academic Press, New York, 1980.
[3] K.E. Zachariassen, E. Kristiansen, Ice nucleation and antinucleation in nature, Cryobiology 41 (2000) 257-279.
Abbreviations of journal names should conform to the style of the latest Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index.
Electronic Transmission of Accepted Manuscripts. When all revisions have been incorporated and the manuscript has been accepted for publication, authors are requested to transmit the text and art of the manuscript in electronic form via computer disk to the Editorial Office. Hard-copy printouts of the manuscript and art must continue to be supplied.
Proofs. Manuscripts will be edited according to the style of the journal, and authors should read the proofs carefully and correct typographical errors; any additional alterations will be charged to the authors.
Page Charges. All authors will receive an invoice. The rate will be $17.50 per printed page when the corresponding author is a member of the Society for Cryobiology, and $35.00 for nonmembers. It is recognized that some authors may be unable to pay this charge, and editorial consideration of a paper is unrelated to the ability of the author to pay. All inquiries concerning page charges should be addressed to CRYOBIOLOGY Editorial Office, Department of Biology, University of York, York YO10 5YW, UK; telephone: (+44) 1904 328648; fax: (+44) 1904 328609.
Author inquiries. Authors can also keep a track on the progress of their accepted articles, and set up e-mail alerts informing them of changes to their manuscript status, by using the "Track a Paper" feature of Elsevier Author Gateway (http://authors.elsevier.com). Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.
