About the journal
|
BIOMETRICAL JOURNAL is an international journal for mathematical and statistical methods used in biological sciences in the widest sense: in biology, medicine, psychology, agriculture, forestry, ecology and others.
BIOMETRICAL JOURNAL promotes new contributions to the mathematical and statistical theory as well as interesting and original appliations of known theoretical methods in the field of biosciences.
The scope of BIOMETRICAL JOURNAL includes the development of mathematical theory, the formulation and solution of biometrical problems, model building in biological systems and the consideration of computational aspects.
Original papers, summary reports on the latest development in the above areas and book reviews are accepted for publication.
Manuscripts should be submitted preferentially in English. Besides, papers in German and French are admitted. Authors are held fuly responsible for all information contained in their papers.

Instructions to Authors
- Manuscripts should be submitted in three copies typed with double line spacing on one side of the page and with sufficient margin. A manuscript should not be longer than 30 typewritten pages.
- The institute at which the work on the paper was done should be listed below the name of the author.
- The full address of the author must be listed at the end of the paper.
- Each original paper should include a summary, a short running title and a list of key words in English. A second summary in another language (German or French) can be added.
- Extensive tables and figures must be enclosed separately, and they should be continuously numbered. The number of tables and figures should be kept as small as possible. Their position should be indicated in the manuscript. Very small tables should be incorporated into the text.
- Decimal numbers in the text are written with a decimal point (not with comma). Furthermore, commas should not be used to separate groups of digits in a number (spaces are allowed).
- Smaller type for a section of the text should be denoted by a vertical stroke drawn on the left of the section concerned and by writing the instruction "smaller type" in the margin space next to the stroke.
- References in the text should consist of author's surname and the publication year. They can have the following forms: ... Miller (1980) has considered ...; (Miller, 1980); (Miller, 1980, p. 25); (Miller, 1980a, b, 1982; Fisher, 1990); (Miller and Baker, 1985) and so on. For publications by three authors, all are listed the first time, and et al. is used subsequently. For four or more authors, "et al." is used throughout.
- Each paper must contain a list of references specifying the name with initials of the Christian names of the author, year, title of paper, name of journal, volume, issue, pages, and for books also the place of publication.
- If a paper has been accepted, the authors are encouraged to provide a floppy disk of the final version of their manuscript in addition to the paper copies. Preferentially, authors should use WORD for WINDOWS or LATEX. Supplying a floppy disk is not compulsory.
- Corrections or changes of the paper must be avoided after the manuscript has been typeset. The publisher reserves the right to charge the author for corrections that exceed ten per cent of the overall cost of typesetting.
- The authors will receive a total of 30 reprints free of charge for every published paper. Additional copies are available on payment.
Additional instructions concerning stylistic conventions
Manuscript structure
As a rule, submitted manuscripts should be structured in the following way: title, author's name and affiliation, summary, key words, French r¨¦sum¨¦ (optional), German Zusammenfassung (optional), the body of the text, acknowledgements (optional), appendix (optional), references, author's full address.
Formulas and mathematical expressions
Mathematical formulas are produced according to a general standard.
Authors should keep the following rules:
¡¤ latin variables should be written in italics (in formulas and in the text), e.g. a, x, reg, jth observation, ith variable,
¡¤ greek expressions should not be written in italics,
¡¤ standard functions should be written in ordinary font, e.g. sin (x), log (x + 1),
¡¤ numbers should be written in ordinary font, e.g. 1, 100, 3.14 (with a decimal point, not with a comma),
¡¤ vectors and matrices should be written boldface, e.g. x1, ... , xn, X, µ,,
¡¤ if formulas are numbered, the numbering should be indicated at the right margin of the text.
