About the journal
Journal of Plankton Research publishes papers dealing with all kinds of Plankton, in marine, freshwater and brackish environments. The three main topics covered are:
(1) the ecology (including model studies) of plankton, including larval and juvenile stages;
(2) the physiology (including experimental results) of planktonic organisms;
(3) the distribution, life histories and taxonomy of planktonic organisms.
(4) the biological properties and content of natural waters
Instructions to Authors
Please read these instructions carefully and follow them strictly. In this way you will help ensure that the review and publication of your paper is as efficient and quick as possible. The editors reserve the right to return manuscripts that are not in accordance with these instructions.
Submission of manuscripts
Submission of a paper implies that it reports unpublished work and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. If previously published tables, illustrations or more than 200 words of text are to be included then the copyright holder's permission must be obtained.
Manuscripts must be submitted as hard copy (the original plus three copies). Authors are encouraged to accompany the hard copy by an identical electronic version on diskette or cd-rom. PDF format is particularly suitable for electronic copy submitted in the first instance and will expedite the review process. The final version, however, must have the text in editable format (for instance rtf, doc or wpd). Manuscripts and queries about papers should be submitted to the Acting Editor-in-Chief:

Please indicate clearly the name, postal address and email of the corresponding author.
Review of manuscripts
Manuscripts submitted will be reviewed and those not meeting the journal's scientific standards or other requirements will be rejected. Copies of manuscripts accepted for publication will not be returned unless the authors request it. If the subject of the manuscript is interdisciplinary or unusual, the author is invited to suggest one or several referees.
Proofs
Authors will be sent page proofs. To avoid delays in publication proofs should be checked immediately for typographical errors and returned to the publishers by express (special delivery) post. Essential changes of an extensive nature may be made only by insertion of a Note Added in Proof. Page charges will not be levied. Authors will, however, be charged for extensive changes made in proof and for special items such as colour plates.
Preparation of manuscripts
Manuscripts should be in their final form when they are submitted so that proofs will require only correction of typographical errors.
Sections of the manuscript
Key words are no longer required as the electronic version of the Journal allows full text search. Regular full length papers should be divided into the following sequence of headed sections:
- Abstract (100-200 words)
- Introduction
- Method (or Experimental)
- Results (or Observation)
- Discussion (or Conclusions)
- Acknowledgements
- References.
Short communications should not exceed 2000 words in length, excluding references and figures, and the method, results and discussion should be presented in a single section. Include a short abstract (30 words) and present the acknowledgements and references as in full-length papers.
General format
Manuscripts should be typed on either American quarto or A4 size paper. Use double spacing (space between lines of type not less than 6 mm) throughout the manuscript and leave margins of 25 mm (1 inch) at the top, bottom and sides of each page. Please indicate the date of each version of your manuscript on the first page and suggest a running title. Number each page. Avoid footnotes.Clearly identify unusual or handwritten symbols and Greek letters. Differentiate between the letter O and zero, and the letters I and l and the number 1. Mark the position of each figure and table in the margin.
References
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the References. Published articles and those in the press (state the journal which has accepted them) may be included. In the text a reference should be cited by author and date as 'Experiments by Author (Author 1989) have demonstrated...'or'... as reported earlier (Author and Author, 1985; Author et al., 1998)'. Do not place text other that the author and date within the parentheses. No more than two authors may be cited per reference; if there are more than two authors use et al. At the end of the manuscript the citations should be typed in alphabetical order by first author's surname followed by initials. References should include, in the following order:
- authors' names
- year
- paper title
- journal title
- volume number and inclusive page numbers.
The name of the journal should be abbreviated according to the World List of Scientific Periodicals. Book references should also include the editors and the name and address of the publisher.
References should therefore be listed as follows:
Langeland,A. and Rognerud,S. (1974) Statistical analyses used in the comparison of three methods of freshwater zooplankton sampling. Arch. Hydrobiol., 3, 403-410.
Russell,F.A. and Yonge,M. (eds) (1976) Advances in Marine Biology, Vol. 13. Academic Press,London.
Schimizu,I. (1978) Dinoflagellate toxins. In Scheuer,D.J. (ed.), Marine Natural Products, Chemical and Biological Perspectives. Academic Press, London, Vol. 1, pp. 1-42.
Personal communications (J.Smith, personal communication) should be authorized in writing by those involved and unpublished data should be cited as '(unpublished data)'. Both should be used as sparingly as possible.
Tables
Tables should be typed on separate sheets and numbered consecutively with Roman numerals. They should be self-explanatory and include a brief descriptive title. They should be of such a size that, when typeset, they will easily fit onto a journal page, the type area of which is 194 (height) x 123 mm (width). Footnotes to tables indicated by lower case letters are acceptable, but they should not include extensive experimental detail. An arrow in the text margin should be used to indicate where a table should be inserted in the text.
Illustrations
All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) should be referred to in the text as Figure 1 etc., which should be abbreviated to 'Fig. 1.' only in the figure legend. Write the title of the paper, the name of the first author and the figure number lightly in blue pencil on the back of each figure. On the back also indicate clearly the top margin of each figure. On the manuscript indicate with an arrow in the margin the most appropriate position for the figure.
Colour illustrations are accepted, but authors will be required to contribute to the cost of the reproduction. Authors may if they wish obtain an estimate of the cost from OUP before submitting the paper for review. Apply to Oxford University Press, Great Clarendon Street, Oxford OX2 6DP, UK. Illustrations for which colour is not essential can be reproduced as black and white images in the print journal and, additionally, in colour as online Supplementary Data. This option is not subject to colour charges. Authors should indicate clearly that they would like to take up this option in the covering letter and on the reverse of the figures. The availability of additional colour images as Supplementary Data should be mentioned where relevant in the main text of the manuscript. Instructions on how to submit colour figures as Supplementary Data can be viewed here
Photographs. These must be submitted in the desired final size so that reduction can be avoided. Photographs, including their legends, must not exceed 194 x 123 mm. Photographs should be of sufficiently high quality with respect to detail, contrast and fineness of grain to withstand the inevitable loss of contrast and detail inherent in the printing process. Please indicate the magnification by a rule on the photograph. Do not state the magnification in the legend: it is often necessary to reduce photographs slightly to improve the layout of the paper.
Line drawings. Please provide these as clear, sharp prints, suitable for reproduction as submitted. No additional artwork, re-drawing or typesetting will be done. Therefore, all labelling should preferably be made with a lettering set. All lines, letters and symbols should be black: grey does not reproduce on printing. Ensure that the size of lettering is in proportion with the overall dimensions of the drawing. Ideally, line drawings should be submitted in the desired final size to avoid reduction (maximum dimensions 194 x 123 mm including legends). If submitting line drawings which require reduction, please check that the lettering will be clearly legible after the drawing has been reduced to the size at which it will be printed. After reduction letters should not be smaller than 1.5 mm in height.
Table titles and Figure legends. These should be listed on a separate, numbered page of the manuscript (or several pages if needed) after the References. Define all symbols and abbreviations used in the figure. Common abbreviations and and those defined in the preceding text need not be redefined in the legend.
Conventions
In general, the journal follows the conventions of the CBE Style Manual (Council of Biology Editors, Bethesda, MD, 1983, 5th edn). Follow Chemical Abstracts and its indexes for chemical names. For guidance in the use of biochemical terminology follow the recommendations issued by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature, as given in Biochemical Nomenclature and Related Documents, published by the Biochemical Society, UK. For enzymes use the recommended name assigned by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on the Biochemical Nomenclature, 1978, as given in Enzyme Nomenclature, published by Academic Press, New York, 1980. Where possible, use the recommended SI (Systeme International) units. Genotypes should be italicized (underline in typed copy): phenotypes should not be italicized. For bacterial genetics nomenclature follow Demerec et al. (1966) Genetics, 54, 61-76.
Abbreviations
Try to restrict the use of abbreviations to SI symbols and those recommended by the IUPAC-IUB. Abbreviations should be defined in brackets after their first mention in the text. Standard units of measurements and chemical symbols of elements may be used without definition in the body of the paper.
Chemical formulae and mathematical equations
Wherever possible, write mathematical equations and chemical formulae on a single line. Submit complicated chemical structures as artwork.
Reprints
The publishers supply 30 reprints free of charge.
Reprint order forms are sent out with the proofs, and must be returned with the proofs to Oxford University Press if extra reprints are required. Late orders submitted after the journal has gone to the press are subject to a 100% surcharge (to cover the additional printing cost).
CopyrightIt is a condition of publication in the journal that authors assign copyright to Oxford University Press. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In assigning copyright, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance.
