About the journal
Photosynthesis Research
|
Photosynthesis Research is an international journal open to papers of merit dealing with both basic and applied aspects of photosynthesis. It covers all aspects of photosynthesis research, including, but not limited to, light absorption and emission, excitation energy transfer, primary photochemistry, model systems, membrane components, protein complexes, electron transport, photophosphorylation, carbon assimilation, regulatory phenomena, molecular biology, environmental and ecological aspects, photorespiration, and bacterial and algal photosynthesis. Papers reporting research at all levels of plant organization are invited (i.e., molecular, subcellular, cellular, whole plant, canopy, ecosystem and global levels). Manuscripts submitted for publication are always reviewed by recognized authorities in the field. |

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript submission
Online manuscript submission
Photosynthesis Research has a fully web-enabled manuscript submission and review system. This system offers authors the option of tracking in real time the review process of their manuscripts. The online manuscript and review system offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures. It supports a wide range of submission file formats, including Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTeX for article text and TIFF, EPS, PS, GIF, JPEG and PPT for figures. PDF is not a recommended format.
Manuscripts should be submitted to:
http://pres.edmgr.com
Authors are requested to download the Consent to Publish and Transfer of Copyright form from this system. Please send a completed and signed form either by mail or fax to the Photosynthesis Research Office.
NOTE: By using the online manuscript submission and review system, it is NOT necessary to submit the manuscript also as printout + disk. In case you encounter any difficulties while submitting your manuscript online, please get in touch with the responsible Editorial Assistant by clicking on "CONTACT US" from the toolbar.
Electronic figures
Electronic versions of your figures must be supplied. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format. The following resolutions are optimal: line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is. Colour figures can be submitted in the RGB colour system. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier and Helvetica.
Colour figures
Colour figures may be printed at the author's expense. Please indicate at submission which figures should be printed in colour, the number of colour pages you prefer and to which address we can send the invoice. In addition, please specify if figures are to appear together on a colour page. Our standard prices are: for one page € 795, for two pages € 1250, for three pages € 1480 and for each subsequent page an additional € 230.
Language
We appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language use is corrected before submission. This will greatly improve the legibility of your paper if English is not your first language.
Manuscript presentation
The journal's language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
- running head (shortened title)
- Article type
- article type
- title
- author(s)
- affiliation(s)
- full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Key words
Please provide 5 to 10 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations and their explanations should be collected in a list.
Article types
A. Regular Papers
These are full length papers describing original research. A concise presentation is encouraged; the paper should not ordinarily exceed 30 pages of double-spaced typed text (including abstract, tables, figures and references). One double-spaced, typed page contains approximately 300-350 words.
B. Minireviews
Normally, minireviews are by invitation from the editors. However, authors are encouraged to submit a tentative title and a table of contents of a proposed minireview for consideration by the editorial staff. While these minireviews should not ordinarily exceed 50 pages of double-spaced typed text (including abstract, tables, figures and references), they are intended in general to be about one half that length.
C. Technical Communications
These deal with new findings in methodologies, instrumentation, analyses, computer programming, etc. To be considered for publication, a technical communication should ordinarily not exceed 10 pages of double-spaced typed text, including abstract, text, figures and references.
D. Emerging Techniques
These papers describe a newly developed technique or an established technique that is just now finding its first applications to research in photosynthesis. Length guidelines are the same as for Regular Papers.
E. Hypothesis
These are short papers describing a novel, testable scientific hypothesis related to photosynthesis. These manuscripts should not exceed 10 pages of double-spaced typed text, including abstract, figures and references.
F. Papers for Historical Corner
Articles for historical corner may include obituaries of a photosynthesis colleague, a personal account of a person who has made important contributions to the field, or a brief history of major discovery or discoveries in photosynthesis. Other topics of historical interest will also be considered. Authors should consult Govindjee before submitting such articles.
G. Letters to the Editor
Such letters, usually on matters of general concern to photosynthesis research and the photosynthesis community, will be entertained by the Editor-in-Chief and ordinarily should not exceed 4 typed pages. Examples of topics for such letters may include nomenclature, solutions to long-standing problems, exposure of significant contradictions, responses to a hypothesis, book reviews or other letters to the editors published in Photosynthesis Research.
H. Other
Announcements, news, reports on conferences and books for book reviews should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief.
Symbols and units
SI (Systeme International) units should be used. A detailed list of symbols, units, abbreviations, conversion factors and special instructions can be found in the Editorial in Photosynthesis Research (1987), Vol. 11 (pp. 191-199).
Section headings
First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable but not numbered.
Appendices and supplementary material
Authors who wish to publish electronic supplementary material to their article (Excel files, images, audio/video files) are requested to submit their manuscript via our online submission system, with a note in the author comments box that supplementary material will be submitted separately by e-mail. This e-mail, containing the supplementary material, can be sent to the editorial assistant: Ellen.Klink@wkap.nl.
In the e-mail, the title of the submitted manuscript as well as the name of the corresponding author should be given.
Notes
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.
Cross-referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by `et al.'. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like `a' and `b' after the date to distinguish the works. Examples:
Winograd (1986, p. 204)
(Winograd 1986a, b)
(Flores et al. 1988; Winograd 1986)
(Bullen and Bennett 1990)
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.

Figures
All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as a 'Figure' and they should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). Multi-part figures ought to be labeled with lower case letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references.
Tables
Each table should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the figures legends in the manuscript.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author by e-mail (if no e-mail address is available or appears to be out of order, proofs will be sent by regular mail). Your response, with or without corrections, should be sent within 72 hours. Please do not make any corrections to the PDF file. Minor corrections (+/- 10) should be sent as an e-mail attachment to: proofscorrection@wkap.nl. Always quote the four-letter journal code and article number and the PIPS No. from your proof in the subject field of your e-mail. Extensive corrections must be clearly marked on a printout of the PDF file and should be sent by first-class mail (airmail overseas).
Offprints
Fifty offprints of each article will be provided free of charge. Additional offprints (both hard copies and PDF files) can be ordered by means of an offprint order form supplied with the proofs.
Page charges and colour figures
No page charges are levied on authors or their institutions except for colour pages. Please see the section labelled 'Colour figures' in 'Manuscript Submission'.
Copyright
Authors will be asked, upon acceptance of an article, to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. This will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Permissions
It is the responsibility of the author to obtain written permission for a quotation from unpublished material, or for all quotations in excess of 250 words in one extract or 500 words in total from any work still in copyright, and for the reprinting of figures, tables or poems from unpublished or copyrighted material.
