About the journal
Transgenic Research is a bimonthly international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of research in transgenic higher organisms including their production, properties resulting from the transgenic state, use as experimental tools, exploitation and application, and environmental impact. The journal aims to bridge the gap between fundamental and applied science in molecular biology and biotechnology.
The Journal publishes studies on transgenic animals and plants in which insertion of transgenes including modification of endogenous genes, by any route or vehicle, has been used to confer novel metabolic or developmental properties on the organism. Investigations into the physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, development, genomics, genetics, behaviour and exploitation of such transgenic organisms are also covered. Transgenic Research provides a valuable forum for the cross-fertilization of ideas and techniques in all areas of transgenic technology from fungi to higher eukaryotic organisms. In addition to reviews and original research papers, Transgenic Research includes timely short communications reporting significant developments in methodology and experimental transgenic organisms. Manuscripts focusing on the utilization of transgenic animals and plants for the expression and production of valuable chemicals and macromolecules are strongly encouraged. Intellectual property, public perception, ethical issues and regulatory aspects of transgenic organisms also fall within the scope of the journal.

Manuscript Submission
Kluwer Academic Publishers prefer the submission of manuscripts and figures in electronic form by e-mail attachment. Hard copies of images may be requested at a later stage if required. If e-mail submission is not possible, please submit a 3 1/2 inch diskette in addition to a hard-copy printout (four-fold). Please label your diskette properly, giving exact details on the name of the file(s), the operating system and software used. Always save your electronic manuscript in the wordprocessor format that you use. In general, use as few formatting codes as possible. For safety's sake, you should always retain a backup copy of your file(s). After acceptance, please make absolutely sure that you send the latest (i.e., revised) version of your manuscript.
Kluwer Academic Publishers prefer articles submitted in wordprocessing packages such as MS Word, WordPerfect, etc. running under operating systems MS DOS, Windows and Apple Macintosh, or in the file format LaTeX. Articles submitted in other software programs, as well as articles for conventional typesetting, can also be accepted.
For submission in LaTeX, Kluwer Academic Publishers have developed special LaTeX style files, KLUWER.STY (LaTeX 2.09) and KLUWER.CLS (LaTeX 2), which are used for all Kluwer journals, irrespective of the publication's size or layout. The specific journal formatting is done later during the production process. KLUWER.STY and KLUWER.CLS are offered by a number of servers around the world. Unfortunately, these copies are often unauthorised and authors are strongly advised not to use them. Kluwer Academic Publishers can only guarantee the integrity of style files obtained directly from them. Authors can obtain KLUWER.STY and KLUWER.CLS and the accompanying instruction file KAPINS.TEX from the following website: http://www.wkap.nl/authors/jrnlstylefiles/
Technical support on the usage of the style files is given via the e-mail address: texhelp@wkap.nl
Reviewing Procedure
Whenever possible articles for publication will be distributed for review by e-mail hence the preference for initial submission as an e-mail attachment. In order to facilitate the refereeing process, authors are invited to suggest up to five potential reviewers, giving names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. The Editors reserve the right to appoint referees of their own choice.
Ethics
When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) or with the Helsinki Declaration (1964, amended in 1975 and 1983) of the World Medical Association. Do not use patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, especially in any illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution's or the National Research Council's guide for, or any national law on, the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
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. Manuscripts should be prepared for printing on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving adequate margins on all sides to allow reviewer's remarks. 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:
article type
title
author(s) (full names)
affiliation(s) (full addresses)
full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
Abstract
Please provide a short abstract not exceeding 300 words. It should summarise the purpose of the study, the experimental approach employed, the results obtained and their significance and should be comprehensible without reference to the text. Abbreviations and literature citations should be avoided.
Key Words
Please provide up to 6 keywords or short phrases in order of significance.
Article Types
Short Communications or Technical Reports should not exceed 2,000 words in length and the methods, results and discussion should be combined. A maximum of 2 tables or figures may be presented.
Technical Updates should not exceed 400 words in length including reference and acknowledgements, with a maximum of one table or figure, or alternatively 500 words with no accompanying table or figure. Manuscripts should be submitted together with a copy on diskette and a copyright transfer form. Further figures and tables may be submitted for review purposes, but only one figure or table will be published. Technical Updates should not have an abstract or section headings other than Acknowledgements and References. In lieu of an abstract, the main conclusion of the research should be incorporated in the title (For example `Development of mice harbouring a targeted EGF receptor gene lacking intron 2 following transfer of ES-cell derived cell nuclei' rather than `Development of EGF receptor transgenic mice using nuclear transfer'). Authors of Technical Updates will not be sent proofs of their articles.
Letters to the Editor are invited and should not exceed 1,000 words in length. Discussion with the relevant Editor is encouraged prior to submission.
Symbols and Units, Nomenclature
As far as possible nomenclature and abbreviations should be in accordance with internationally agreed rules. All units should be expressed according to the SI system, with the exception of `min', `h' and `days' for the units of time. Abbreviations should be defined in brackets after their first mention in the text.
Wherever possible genetic nomenclature, including the nomenclature for transgenic mice, should follow the appropriate conventions (e.g., `Rules and guidelines for genetic nomenclature in mice', Transgenic Reseach, 6, 309-319).
Figures and Tables
Authors are encouraged to supply the electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used and the hard copy will be required for scanning instead.
Figures should be saved in separate files without their legends, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g. `figure1.eps'. For vector graphics Encapsulated PostScript is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10 percent. For bitmap graphics, TIFF is the preferred format. The following resolutions are optimal: black-and-white line figures - 1200 dpi; line figures with some grey or coloured lines - 600 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is.
If no electronic versions of figures are available, submit only high-quality artwork that can be reproduced as is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re-typeset. The letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction. Photographs should be in black-and-white on glossy paper. If a figure contains colour, make absolutely clear whether it should be printed in black-and-white or in colour. Figures that are to be printed in black-and-white should not be submitted in colour. Authors will be charged for reproducing figures in colour.
Each figure and table should be numbered and mentioned in the text. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (first) author and the figure number should be written in pencil; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated. Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the manuscript following the Reference section. Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. The figure legends should be grouped and placed on a separate page. Figures are not returned to the author unless specifically requested.
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.
Section Headings
First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable but not numbered.
Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.
References
References to books, journal articles, articles in collections and conference or workshop proceedings, and technical reports should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order (see examples below). Articles in preparation or articles submitted for publication, unpublished observations, personal communications, etc. should not be included in the reference list but should only be mentioned in the article text (e.g., T. Moore, personal communication), (C.S. Andrew, unpublished)
