About the journal
Photochemistry and Photobiology
Photochemistry and Photobiology Online is identical to the print version of the journal.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts should be written in clear, concise English. DOUBLE SPACE throughout, including tables, figure legends, and references list. Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) margin on all sides. Do not divide words at ends of lines. Do not justify right margins. Underline material to be typeset in italic if italic font is not available.
Number all illustrations, tables and references in the order first cited in the text. Use Arabic numerals for both figures and tables: Fig. 1, Table 1. Use Systme Internationale (SI) units. DNA, RNA, UV, IR, NMR, HPLC, EPR, and all SI units are standard abbreviations. Write out the complete form of each non-standard abbreviation the first time it appears in the Abstract and again the first time it appears in the text; use the abbreviation thereafter. Do not use periods, e.g. "LDL" not "L.D.L." for "low density lipoproteins." Do not begin a sentence with an abbreviation or a numeral; use "Ten micrograms...," not "10 m.g...," "Figure 1...," not "Fig. 1...." Always leave a space between the number and the unit; e.g. "280 nm," not "280nm." Exception: no space before the degree sign (¡). Give temperatures in degrees Kelvin (250 K) or Celsius (37¡ C).
Assemble manuscript in the order: Title page, Footnotes page (if needed), Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, Appendix (if needed), References, Figure Legends, Tables, Figures. All pages should be numbered consecutively, including the title page.
Title page
Title: all capital letters except words to be italicized (in vivo, etc., and genus and species names, e.g. Escherichia coli.) Do not use abbreviations in the title. Names of author(s): first name followed by last name, as they should appear in print. First names are preferred over initials only. Do not include titles or degrees. Institutional affiliation for each author: if authors are not all at the same institution, use superscript Arabic numerals to indicate each author's affiliation. Provide name, complete address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address of corresponding author. If page proofs or other correspondence should be sent elsewhere, even temporarily, specify dates and addresses in the cover letter. The corresponding author's fax, mailing and e-mail addresses will be printed as a footnote, unless a request is received to delete this information. Key words: a list of indexing words should be supplied.
Footnotes page
Use standard footnote symbols in the order "dagger symbol", "double-dagger symbol", ¡ì, ||, ¶. Footnote the title only to show (a) that some or all of the material was presented at a meeting (give name, dates, and location of meeting), or (b) dedication of the paper. List research support and assistance in Acknowledgments section following the text. Every paper by two or more authors must have a footnote to one author's name: "To whom correspondence should be addressed, at (give mailing, fax, and e-mail addresses)"; the superscript * is reserved to identify the corresponding author. Current address of an author can be given in a footnote to the author's name. All non-standard abbreviations with definitions must appear in a footnote beginning, "Abbreviations:" with abbreviations alphabetized, e.g. "Abbreviations: Hp, hematoporphyrin; LDL, low density lipoprotein." Avoid footnotes to text. When they are unavoidable, continue using symbols from title page in order; mark text location of each footnote.
Sections
Section headings are ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION and REFERENCES. The RESULTS AND DISCUSSION sections may be combined. The section heading CONCLUSIONS is allowed, not required. Section headings are capitalized.
Abstract
The Abstract should consist of brief statements about intent, experimental approach, results, and significance of findings in one paragraph. The maximum length is 200 words. Footnotes and undefined abbreviations should not be used. Citation of previous work are discouraged; if a citation must be used, the form should be: [Jones, A. (1990) Photochem Photobiol, 58, 79-83].
Introduction
The Introduction should provide readers with the purpose of the study and a concise review of pertinent literature. An extensive review of the literature should not be presented.
Materials and Methods
The Materials and Methods section should be subdivided using indented, italicized headings. The text follows immediately on the same line. Experimental procedures should be described concisely, but with sufficient detail to allow repetition by experienced researchers. Previously published procedures should be cited and any significant variations described. Sources of special chemicals or biological materials should be given along with city, state (in USA) or country. Sources of simple materials with no unique features (e.g., NaCl, 70% ethanol) do not need to be supplied.
Results
The Results section should be subdivided using headings at the left margin. The first letter of the subheading is capitalized and the text begins on the next line. A concise description of the results should be given, referring to the figures and tables. Only essential figures and tables should be included; often one or two sentences can be used instead of a simple bar graph. The same data should not be presented in both a figure and a table. The Results and Discussion sections can be combined, if the logical sequence of material is improved thereby.
Discussion
If subheadings are used, they should be placed at the left margin and the first word capitalized. The first paragraph begins on a new line. The data described in the Results section should not be repeated. The discussion should be concise and not include unfounded speculation.
Acknowledgments
Technical assistance, advice from colleagues, gifts and financial support are acknowledged following the Discussion section. Begin at left margin with "Acknowledgments Ð "; text of acknowledgment section follows on same line.
References
For reference citations in text, use numbers enclosed in parentheses corresponding to numbers in references list, e.g. "Various researchers (1-3) have shown..."; "...see Borkman et al. (1) and Turro (3)". Submitted and in press articles can be included with the references if the journal is identified and complete title given. Unpublished information should appear, in text only, as (J. Jones, unpublished data) or (J. Jones, personal communication). Only literature citations (no footnotes) should be listed in the REFERENCES section. Arrange references in the REFERENCES section in the order in which they are first cited in text. Be sure the numbers in the REFERENCES list correspond with numbers of references in the text; each citation must have a distinct number (i.e., no multiple references). Verify all entries against original sources, especially names of all authors, article titles, journal names, accents, diacritical marks, and spelling. Do not use "et al." in the list of references.
Use the following format, including punctuation, for references (see Chem. Abstracts or Index Medicus for journal name abbreviations). Include both first and last page numbers.

Tables
Print each table on a new page with table number and caption at the top. Begin at left margin "Table 1." The caption follows immediately on the same line. Capitalize only the first word and proper nouns of the captions. Double space throughout; use same size type as in text.
Use footnote symbols as described above, beginning with on each table. If a table has more than six footnotes, double the symbols in sequence; , etc. Literature citations are given as in the text (a number enclosed in parentheses corresponding to the number in the REFERENCES list).
Structures
Chemical structures and models should be supplied camera-ready. Models will, in general, be printed up to 8.4 cm wide. All significant details should be clear at this size. A bond length setting of 5 mm (0.2 inches), and a font size of 10 are suitable for reaction schemes of up to 10 cm in width. ChemDraw users will find the JOC-format suitable.
Figures
Figures may be line drawings (including chemical structures), graphs, black and white half-tones (photographs), or color photographs. Color figures will be printed, if authors pay for color set-up and printing; the Editorial Office will provide current costs. Do not provide color photographs for reviewing, unless you intend to publish in color.
Keep the following points in mind when preparing figures:
- Figure legends: Significant experimental details can be given, avoiding repetition of the text. Symbols and abbreviations in legends must agree with those in figures. Abbreviations must also agree with those in the text. Define error bars in figure legends.
- Leave at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) clear around the edges of the figure. Exception: photographs need not be mounted on a page.
- Reproduction in the journal will be identical, except for size, to the figure supplied. Flaws cannot be corrected. Figures which in the Editor's opinion will not reproduce well will need to be replaced, delaying publication.
- The standard width for figures is 6.7-8.4 cm. Letters, numbering and any symbols on a figure (including inserts) must be large enough to be clearly legible after the figure is reduced to 8.4 cm width. Authors are strongly encouraged to test the legibility of figures by photocopying them to this size. A font size of 10 is suitable for figures of up to 10 cm in width. An original figure size around 10 cm width is preferred. Maximum length for an illustration is 9 1/4" (235 mm).
- Fields filled with dots of varying density (as in many bar graphs) do not reproduce well; use well-spaced dashed lines or solid lines at varying angles.
- Use of a third dimension in figures that does not add information is discouraged.
- Figures produced on dot matrix printers are not acceptable.
- Illustrations to be printed as half-tones must be submitted as original photographs.
- Multi-panel figures: The labels a, b, etc. must appear within each panel of the figure; use lower-case letters in a size that will be legible when the total figure is reduced in size for printing. On photos, if black letters do not show up well, use white ones. Add symbols with press-on symbols and letters; handwritten or typed symbols are not acceptable. Panels should be a same size, whenever possible. Font and font size must be consistent on panels. Arrange panels to minimize repetition of symbol legends and axes labels. Do not leave unnecessary space between panels.
- Photomicrographs require a scale in the photo.
- Be sure to number all review copies of figures. Number photographs on the back, in pencil.
Invited Reviews
Manuscripts submitted as Invited Reviews follow the same format as for regular manuscripts, except: (a) an abstract is not necessary for the printed copy, although a brief one for Web publication is desirable; (b) only one or two essential, summarizing tables or figures are included; and (c) two copies of the manuscript are submitted.
Submission of manuscripts
Printed: Two copies of the manuscript should be submitted. For figures that are line drawings or graphs, send one original drawing or laser-printed (or other high-quality) copy, plus two photocopies of each figure. For photographs (gels, photos, micrographs, etc.), send three photos of each figure, approximately 8.4 cm in width. Printed manuscripts will be scanned to create a pdf file for reviewing.
Electronic: Manuscripts can also be submitted by e-mail as attached pdf files. The manuscript and all Tables and Figures must be incorporated in a single pdf file (please save as US letter size). This file will be used for the initial reviewing process.
Revised manuscripts should be submitted on disk (as a word processor file). Instructions for preparation of disks are available from the Editorial Office or from the JournalÕs Website (http://www.POL-US.net).
Suggestions for reviewers are strongly encouraged. Supply the e-mail address, affiliation, and if possible the telephone number and mailing address.

Submission of revised manuscripts on disk
To facilitate speed and accuracy of publication, revised manuscripts should be supplied on a disk. Note that pdf files are not suitable for copy editing. Word-processed disk files may be created with either a Macintosh or an IBM-compatible program. Microsoft Word is preferred for Macintosh files; used either Microsoft Word or WordPerfect for DOS or Windows files. Any file that is properly prepared, using only the word processor keystrokes and special characters is convertible.
Word-processing commands
Most commands and formatting codes created by word processing programs (e.g., the codes you see under "Reveal Codes" in WordPerfect) only hinder efficient conversion, and must be removed by the typesetter. The exception to this rule is the use of bold, italic, superscript and subscript. These should be retained.
Tables
Most word-processed tables cannot be readily converted to type. Tables may be left in disk files, but hard-copy tables must be supplied. Most tabular material will be rekeyed from hard copy and proofread. Insert location for each table at the end of the paragraph in which it is first cited, e.g. .
Figures
A hard copy of all graphics should be submitted, along with the disk files. If graphics are supplied on disk, it is essential that all graphics be saved in files separate from the text. Since graphics applications are not always supported by other applications, one of the more popular formats (TIFF, EPS, PICT, PCX) should be used. Insert location for each figure at the end of the paragraph in which it is first cited, e.g. .
Equations
Displayed mathematical equations requiring stacked material, oversized characters, or chemical formulae will be typeset by the printer. These equations may be inserted in place in the text file. However, a clean, clear copy of the equations must be provided.
Figure Legends
Figure legends should be placed in numerical sequence after the text at the end of the file.
Preparation of text on disk
Note: in general, a well prepared manuscript is ready to be submitted on disk by simply removing pasted artwork.
- Use standard font and symbol font only.
- Enter a return at end of paragraphs only.
- Use italics for scientific names.
- Do not use right justification or hyphenation.
- Do not insert extra vertical space above or below titles, headings, paragraphs, or sections. Multiple spaces inserted by space bar should be removed.
- Do not format the file into pages or put automatic page numbers, headers, or footers.
- Paragraph indents should be consistent throughout the file. Use the tab key or the shifted hyphen key.
- All headings should be typed flush left. Do not use the center or flush right commands.
- Boldface, italic, subscript and superscript word-processing commands should be retained.
- Do not type the letter "l" for the numeral "1" or the capital letter "O" for the numeral "0."
