Instructions to Authors
ASBC Journal
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
New in 2003! Initial submission of manuscripts in electronic files by E-mail attachment is encouraged. (In 2004, it will be mandatory.) See specific instructions below. Final submission is still by diskette and paper copy, with figures separate.
1. For Initial Submission. To shorten the time between submission and acceptance, ASBC has instituted an electronic submission and review process. In 2003, initial submission of electronic files is encouraged. Starting in 2004, paper copies of manuscripts will no longer be accepted for the review process. Pages should be line numbered within 8.5 ?11-inch images, double spaced, including tables and figure captions. Send manuscripts electronically using a pdf format in an e-mail attachment to: Editorial Office (ipfefer@scisoc.org) or, preferably, directly to the Editor-in-Chief, Charles W. Bamforth (cwbamforth@ucdavis.edu). All submissions must include a cover letter in the text of the E-mail message with title of article and name, affiliation, and mailing address of all authors. Indicate corresponding author and include telephone, fax, and E-mail address. Put tables, figure captions, and figures at the end of the manuscript, not in the text.
For papers given at the Annual Meeting, submissions should take place at the time of the Annual Meeting or not later than 30 days thereafter, unless other arrangements are made with the Editor-in-Chief. Other manuscripts may be submitted at any time.
Submissions that do not conform to the requirements in these Instructions to Authors may be returned to the author for resubmission in the correct format.
2. For Final Submission. After a manuscript has been reviewed and revised, submit the final manuscript in letter-quality print without line numbers, together with a diskette containing the corresponding final file, including text, figure captions, and tables. Put tables on separate pages following the text. Put all captions on a separate page. If figures are submitted electronically, put them in separate files.
Diskette. The diskette file containing the article MUST be saved as a Microsoft Word (preferred), WordPerfect, or Rich Text Format (.rtf) document. Articles that cannot be saved as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, or Rich Text Format documents can be submitted in the ASCII format. Please include a version of the file saved in your native word processing application as well as in the ASCII format. Your software manual should have instructions for saving documents as ASCII files (sometimes called DOS or Text Only). Label the diskette with the document’s complete file name, including any extension. Also indicate the format as either IBM or Apple/Macintosh and as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, .rtf, or ASCII.
3. The text should be organized into the following sections: a one-paragraph abstract of up to 200 words (not to be confused with the abstract sent to the Program Committee Chair if the paper was presented at an ASBC Annual Meeting); an introductory section; and sections titled Experimental, Results, and Discussion (Results and Discussion may be combined). An acknowledgment is optional. The abstract should state the objective of the paper, the experimental method used, the essential results, and the conclusions. A list of no more than six keywords in alphabetical order and a running title (for purposes of abstracting and indexing) should accompany the abstract. The introductory section should include the nature of the investigation and pertinent literature citations and be as brief as possible. The experimental section should describe materials, methods, and equipment in sufficient detail to permit duplication of the research; unnecessary details such as equipment common to a laboratory (e.g., pH meters), should be avoided. The results should be presented in an organized and logical sequence. The discussion should contain an assessment of results, comparison with other work, and conclusions regarding significance of the results. Clarity and conciseness are essential. Sentences should be short and direct; jargon and unfamiliar terms should be avoided. Writers not proficient in English should get help with the language before submitting the paper.
4. General Instructions for Figures. All line drawings and photographs must fit within the printed area of a page. Page width is 88 mm for one column and 183 mm for two columns; maximum height is 242 mm, including the caption. If possible, make illustrations fit the area without reduction in size. A 1:1 reproduction is desired to maintain maximum detail in printing and to save time, labor, and production costs. On figures for same-size reproduction, numbers and lettering (in upper and lowercase) should be in a 10-point (about 1/8 in., or 3 mm) sans serif type (e.g., Helvetica); figure designations (1, 2, 3, and A, B, C, etc.) should be in 18-point type (about 1/4 in., or 6 mm). Such lettering is available in art supply stores. Inked, handwritten, or typed labels or other poor-quality labeling is not acceptable. The Council of Biology Editors?CBE Style Manual (Council of Biology Editors, Inc., Bethesda, MD 20814) provides helpful instructions for determining sizes of reproduced illustrations.
Each illustration must be labeled with the figure number, author’s name, and “ASBC Journal.?Captions should describe the contents so that each illustration is understandable when considered apart from the text. Cite all figures in numeric order in the manuscript.
Prints should be clear and of high quality. Poor alignments, blurred lines, and out-of-focus letters and symbols are not acceptable.
Photographs. Submit one set of original (first-generation) prints for printing. Limit the number of figures to the minimum that can explain the results. Prints should be cropped at right angles to show only essential details, with scale bars inserted where necessary to indicate magnification. Dry-transfer numbers, letters, and symbols (black-on-white preferred) should be used to give clear, crisp images—be sure these are securely in place to prevent numbers and letters from detaching.
For composites, match photographs for similarity of contrast, background density, and subject content. Do not combine photographs with line drawings. Photographs in a composite should be mounted, with the edges in contact; space between photographs will be inserted in printing.
Color illustrations may be used, but the cost of color reproduction must be paid by the authors. A cost quotation will be provided, and the author or an institutional officer must formally indicate acceptance of the quoted rate before the illustration will be processed.
Photographic images as computer files. Although ASBC prefers high-quality photographic prints of black-and-white and color figures, the Journal will accept photographic images as computer files. The electronic image files must conform to the following specifications. Files must be saved in .tif, .eps, or .jpg format for IBM PC or in .tiff, .pict, .jpe, or .eps format for Macintosh. Image resolution must be 300 dpi at the final printed image size. If the final printed image size is unknown, size the image at a larger-than-final print size, maintaining a 300 dpi resolution, and ASBC will downsize the image to fit the final print dimensions (to maintain quality, ASBC cannot enlarge a digitized image). Acceptable storage media are zip and CD-Rom. Image files must be properly named and include the appropriate file extension. The storage medium must be labeled with the file names, journal, manuscript number, first author’s name, computer platform, and file extension, e.g., Figs. 1, 2, 3, ASBC Journal #99-123, Olson, IBM PC, .tif files. A printout of each image is required, including figure and manuscript numbers and author information. Because of the wide variance in software, scanners, and monitors, ASBC urges that electronic images be submitted only by authors experienced in electronic processing of images. Unusable files may result in delays in publication. If you have questions, please contact Patti Ek by E-mail at pek@scisoc.org.
Line drawings. Generate line drawings on a computer or have them prepared by a competent graphic artist on white paper, tracing linen, or blue-lined graph paper. Submit originals, not copies. Do not use gray shading; it prints poorly. Use patterns or all black or white.
Affix index marks to ordinates and abscissas. Use the horizontal axis for the independent variable. Draw curves heaviest and axes lighter. Avoid excessively bold lettering, numbers, and lines for coordinate axes and curves. Show experimental points. Make letters and numbers 1/8 to 1/4 in. (3-6 mm) high or plan them to be that height after reduction. Omit titles from the face of drawings, and do not extend explanatory wording beyond the width of the graph. Terms and abbreviations on figures must be consistent with usage required in the text.
If line drawings or graphs are to be published as a composite figure, the parts of the composite should be mounted in the appropriate positions.
5. Tables should be kept small. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet. Columns of like material should read down, not across. Data that are not essential or show no significant variations should be omitted; a statement in the text may be substituted for columns with only a few data. Side headings should be kept short and abbreviations used, if necessary; unorthodox abbreviations must be explained in footnotes. Tables are designated with Roman numbers and must be cited in numerical sequence in the text.
6. Abbreviations should, with minor exceptions, conform to ACS standards. (An excellent reference work is The ACS Style Guide, American Chemical Society, 1155 16th St. NW, Washington, DC 20036). Measurements are expressed in standard metric units. Nano and pico terminology is used (e.g., nanometer instead of millimicron). Absorbance is used instead of optical density. Analyte concentrations should be expressed on a w/v, v/v, v/w, or w/w basis (e.g., mg/L, µg/L, mg/kg, and µg/kg). Some frequently used abbreviations are listed with these instructions.
The same abbreviation applies to both singular and plural (e.g., L for liter or liters). A sentence should not be started with an abbreviation. If an abbreviation is likely to cause confusion, the word should be used instead. Acronyms and abbreviations should be introduced only if they are to be used three or more times and should be spelled out at first use.
7. Literature citations are listed at the end of the article in alphabetical order and numbered consecutively. All citations must be mentioned in the text, with the number(s) enclosed in parentheses. A reference to a journal includes author (last name first, then initials), article title, journal, volume, colon, page range, and year; for journals that begin every issue with page one, the issue number in parentheses follows the volume number. A reference to an article in a book includes author, article title, book title, edition (if applicable), editor’s name (if applicable), publisher, city, state, volume (if applicable), page range, and year. A reference to a book includes author, title, publisher, city, state, page range, and year. Unpublished material (e.g., a work in progress, a poster presentation, or a personal communication) is cited parenthetically in the text and is not listed as a literature citation. “In press?citations should be avoided but, if considered necessary, should include the total citation and evidence that the paper has been accepted by the journal indicated; a copy of the paper also should be provided, if possible, for use in the review process.
If online citations are used, give the address of the organization, not the exact page. (Web pages are changed frequently.) If the material is also in print, that citation is preferred.
