Aims and scope
Mycoscience is the official English journal of the Mycological Society of Japan and is issued bimonthly.
Mycoscience publishes original research articles (full papers, short communications, and notes) and reviews on various aspects of fungi including yeasts and other organisms that traditionally have been studied by mycologists. The research aspects covered by Mycoscience extend from such purely scientific interests as systematics (taxonomy by traditional methods and systematics by molecular methods), evolution, phylogeny, morphology, ecology, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, to such agricultural, medical, and industrial applications as pathology (human, animal, and plant), pharmaceuticals, food processing, and other biotechnologies. Also included are new and improved applications of well-established mycological techniques and methods.
Instructions to Authors
Types of papers published
Manuscripts should fall into one of the following categories: full papers, short communications, reviews, and notes. Full papers are full-length, well-documented reports containing original, comprehensive, and complete work. Therefore, the papers in this category should be original and have scientific merit. Short communications, reporting timely novel findings, are brief accounts of original research results, and should have a similar standard of quality and scientific merit as full papers. Notes are similar to short communications, but include fewer novel findings. Reviews are comprehensive descriptions and interpretations for a specific topic with a summarization of the research history and a suggestion of the direction of future research. Reviews should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission.
There are no page charges, and non-members of the Society are encouraged to submit manuscripts for publication.
Submission of articles
Legal requirements
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the copyright holder. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Ethical standards
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a declaration that the experiments comply with the current laws of the country in which they were performed. This note should be included in a separate section before the reference list.
Conflict of interest
All benefits in any form from a commercial party related directly or indirectly to the subject of a manuscript or to any of its authors must be acknowledged. For each source of funds, both the research funder and the grant number should be given. This note should be added in the Acknowledgments section. If no conflict exists, authors should state that they have no conflict of interest.
How to submit
Authors should submit their manuscripts to the Mycoscience online manuscript submission, review, and tracking system (Editorial Manager). Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing time and shortens overall publication time. Please follow the hyperlink “Submit online” on the right and upload all your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen (Do not upload Excel files for tables; see “Text formatting” below). If the manuscript conforms to the guidelines specified in the instructions, the date received will be the date the manuscript was uploaded to the Editorial Manager system.
Please view your Reference Checking Results during electronic submission and attempt to resolve any problems with your references prior to submitting your manuscript.
Please submit, with the manuscript, the names and e-mail addresses of three to five potential reviewers.
Editorial procedure
The Editorial Committee reserves the right to accept or reject a manuscript for publication. The Committee may advise the author to revise the manuscript according to suggestions by reviewers. A manuscript written in poor English or in an unsuitable format may not be accepted regardless of its content. When revision of a manuscript has been requested, the revised manuscript should be returned within three months after notification. Otherwise, the manuscript will be processed as one withdrawn from submission. If the authors decide to withdraw their manuscript from consideration for publication, they should inform the editor. The accepted date will be the day when the Editor-in-Chief has judged the manuscript to be publishable after the completion of the reviewing process.
Page limits and page charges
Authors will be allowed eight printed pages for a full paper or review, including tables and figures (three typewritten pages of manuscript, each consisting of 24 lines, are approximately equivalent to one printed page). Short communications and notes should not be longer than four printed pages. For additional pages, authors will be charged JPY 12 000 per printed page.

Manuscript preparation
Manuscripts should be written in English. All articles submitted to the journal must comply with the guidelines. Failure to do so will result in the return of the manuscript before peer review and a possible delay in publication. Manuscripts should be formatted with 3-cm margins, 24 lines per page, on either A4 (21.0 × 29.7 cm) or 8½ × 11-inch pages. Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 12-point Times Roman) for text. Italic and boldface type should be specified using the features of standard word-processing software.
Arrangement of the manuscript
Pages should be numbered consecutively and arranged in the following order.
Page 1: Title page
The title page should include:
A concise and informative title
The name(s) of the author(s)
The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)
The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author
Total text pages
The numbers of tables and figures
Page 2: Abstract and keywords
Abstract
Please provide an abstract of no more than 200 words for reviews and full-length articles, 100 words for short communications and notes. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Keywords
Please provide a maximum of five keywords ordered alphabetically which can be used for indexing purposes, including the name of organisms (common name or scientific name), method(s), or other words or phrases that represent the subject of the study.
Key words should supplement the title and not duplicate words in the title.
Page 3: Text
The text should be divided into the sections with headings (see below), followed by figure legends. Authors should consult recent issues of the journal for details of style and presentation. Short communications and notes should not be divided into sections, except for References.
Headings
Primary headings should begin at the left margin in boldface. Usual primary headings are Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments and References. Start second-level headings at the left margin in Roman but not boldface. Third-level headings are italicized.
Text formatting
Manuscripts should be submitted in Word.
•Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 12-point Times Roman) for text.
•Use italics for emphasis.
•Do not use double-byte characters.
•Use the automatic page numbering function.
•Do not use field functions.
•Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
•Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to create tables.
•Use the equation editor or MathType for equations.
Note: If you use Word 2007, do not create the equations with the default equation editor but use the Microsoft equation editor or MathType instead.
•Save your file in doc format. Do not submit docx files.
Scientific names
For the use of scientific names of organisms, consult the current international codes of nomenclature concerned. For descriptions of new taxa, give names of the new taxa, followed by author(s) and status (e.g., gen. nov., sp. nov.). Following the Latin diagnosis or description, designate the type specimen and place of deposit. The Latin diagnosis or description should be checked for accuracy by an expert in Latin prior to submission.
In articles of taxonomy, cite authors of all specific and infraspecific taxa only at the first use in the text. Author names are written in full or abbreviated. In principle, abbreviations follow Authors of Fungal Names (Index of Fungi Supplement, Kirk and Ansell, 1992 or http://www.indexfungorum.org/AuthorsOfFungalNames.htm).
A generic name followed by a specific epithet should be written in full at first mention; subsequently it may be abbreviated to its capitalized initial letter where this is not ambiguous. Omit names of authors of taxa in the title and abstract. Italicize only generic, infrageneric (subgenus, section), specific, and infraspecific taxa.
Specimens, cultures, molecular sequence data, and information
Authors are urged to deposit voucher specimens and cultures in public herbaria and culture collections, which should be accessible by others and be cited by the newest version or on-line issue of Index Herbariorum (http://www.nybg.org/bsci/ih/ih.html) or World Directory of Collections and Cultures of Microorganisms: Bacteria, Fungi and Yeasts (http://wdcm.nig.ac.jp/hpcc.html). The names of herbaria and/or culture collections should be provided on a separate sheet when the manuscript is submitted. The registered specimen numbers or strain numbers must be cited in the paper. Details of specimens and cultures on which work is based, including molecular sequences, must be given (country, locality, host or substrate, date of isolation or collection, isolator or collector, registered numbers). According to the recommendations in the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, authors who are describing new species or new infraspecific taxa are recommended to deposit a living culture (ex-type culture), whenever practicable, in at least two institutional culture or genetic resource collections, and cite these in the paper. Molecular sequence data must be deposited in a molecular sequence repository (DDBJ, http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp; EMBL, http://www.ebi.ac.uk; GenBank, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/) and the accession numbers must be cited in the paper.
Authors are also expected to deposit sequence alignments in TreeBASE (http://www.treebase.org/) or other public databases, and indicate the temporary study accession number and P.I.N. number in the text for checking by reviewers. Otherwise, authors should provide sequence alignments to reviewers upon request.
Authors are requested to deposit information on newly recognized taxa in MycoBank (http://www.mycobank.org/DefaultPage.aspx) and indicate the accession number just below the new taxon name.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
References
Citation
Cite references in the text by surname of the author(s) and year of publication in parentheses. Some examples:
•Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
•This result was later contradicted (Becker and Seligman 1996).
•This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Medvec et al. 1993; Barakat et al. 1995; Kelso and Smith 1998).
Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. If the same author is cited more than once, the entries should be listed in chronological order.

Always use the standard abbreviation of a journal’s name according to the ISSN List of Title Word Abbreviations (see http://www.issn.org/en/node/344).
Quantity and units
All measurements should be expressed in the metric system and abbreviated. Use the recommended SI units (Système International d’Unités). When non-SI units are used, they must be adequately explained to avoid ambiguity.
Use Roman type for units, without periods. Care should be taken to italicize only absorbance, gravitational
Acceleration, and water activity. The plural should not be formed by adding ‘s’ for abbreviated units.
Units should be abbreviated as follows:
length nm, μm, mm, cm, m
mass pg, ng, μg, mg, g, kg
amount of substance nmol, μmol, mmol, mol
molar concentration μM, mM, M
area mm2 , cm2 , m2
volume μl, ml, l, cm3 , m3
time s, min, h
temperature ºC (example: 37ºC), K
absorbance A (example: A260 )
gravitational acceleration g (example: 10 000g)
light J, lx, lm, W
molecular weight Da, kDa
water activity Aw
Concentrations of solutions are preferably expressed in terms of molarity (M). The symbol “%” must be used in its correct sense, e.g., g/100 g; otherwise it must be defined as “% (v/v)” or “% (w/v).” Use μg/ml or μg/g in place of the ambiguous ppm.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter. Use Roman type for abbreviations derived from the Latin or Greek (for example: ca., et al., i.e., e.g., s. str., s. l.). Never use abbreviations or symbols for names of substances unless they are internationally accepted. The Enzyme Commission (EC) number should be given at the first mention of an enzyme in the text.
Measurements
Record measurements as length by width (or diameter). Place exceptional dimensions in parentheses. Indicate mean values, etc. separately.
Example: (10–)13–16(–18.5) × 7–8(–9) μm, 15.5 × 7.5 μm on average
Tables
All tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals (e.g., Table 1).
Tables should always be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order.
For each table, supply a table title. The table title should explain clearly and concisely the components of the table.
Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table title.
Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lowercase letters (not Arabic numerals) and included beneath the table body.
Artwork
Electronic Figure Submission
•Supply all figures electronically.
•Indicate what graphics program was used to create the artwork.
•For vector graphics, the preferred format is EPS; for halftones, please use TIFF format. MS Office files are also acceptable.
•Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files.
•Name your figure files with "Fig" and the figure number, e.g., Fig1.eps.
Line Art
•Definition: Black and white graphic with no shading.
•Do not use faint lines and/or lettering and check that all lines and lettering within the figures are legible at final size.
•All lines should be at least 0.1 mm (0.3 pt) wide.

•Definition: a combination of halftone and line art, e.g., halftones containing line drawing, extensive lettering, color diagrams, etc.
•Combination artwork should have a minimum resolution of 600 dpi.
Color Art
•Color illustrations should be submitted as RGB (8 bits per channel).
Figure Lettering
•To add lettering, it is best to use Helvetica or Arial (sans serif fonts).
•Keep lettering consistently sized throughout your final-sized artwork, usually about 2–3 mm (8–12 pt).
•Variance of type size within an illustration should be minimal, e.g., do not use 8-pt type on an axis and 20-pt type for the axis label.
•Avoid effects such as shading, outline letters, etc.
•Do not include titles or captions into your illustrations.
Figure Numbering
•All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.
•Figures should always be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order.
•If an appendix appears in your article/chapter and it contains one or more figures, continue the consecutive numbering of the main text. Do not number the appendix figures, "A1, A2, A3, etc."
Figure Captions
•Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts.
•Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type.
•No punctuation is to be included after the number, nor is any punctuation to be placed at the end of the caption.
•Identify all elements found in the figure in the figure caption; and use boxes, circles, etc., as coordinate points in graphs.
•Identify previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference citation at the end of the figure caption.
Figure Placement and Size
•When preparing your figures, size figures to fit in the column width.
•The figures should be 86 mm, 131 mm, or 176 mm wide and not higher than 236 mm.

•Name your files accordingly, e.g., Animation3.mpg.
Captions
•For each supplementary material, please supply a concise caption describing the content of the file.
Processing of supplementary files
•Electronic supplementary material will be published as received from the author without any conversion, editing, or reformatting.
After acceptance
During the production phase the following issues need to be clarified and you will receive the article’s proofs.
Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer’s online platform SpringerLink. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
Copyright transfer
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to The Mycological Society of Japan and Springer (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws. Open Choice articles do not require transfer of copyright as the copyright remains with the author. In opting for open access, they agree to the Springer Open Choice Licence.
Offprints
Offprints can be ordered by the corresponding author.
Color illustrations
For color, authors will be expected to make a contribution towards the extra costs.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
