II. What to Submit
Uploaded files should be in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, with all figures and tables, including photographs, included within the document.
The entire manuscript, including title page, tables, and figure legends, must be double-spaced, with page margins of 1 inch all around (for 8.5" x 11" paper) or 1.5-inch top and bottom margins with .75-inch side margins (for A4 paper) Pages should be numbered in the upper-right-hand corner. The right margin should not be justified. No hyphens should be added to break words at the ends of lines. Page breaks should be inserted instead of hard returns, and tabs should be used instead of multiple spaces for indentations or to line up information in a table.
III. Title Page
The title page should include the following information: title and a running page head of a maximum of 60 characters including spaces. Contact information for the corresponding author and coauthors should be provided in the appropriate places on the electronic manuscript submission form at http://pbz.uci.edu//submissions/.
Acknowledgments of financial support should be made under Acknowledgments, not on the title page.
IV. Abstract
The abstract should summarize the findings concretely; sentences indicating that a particular subject is discussed should be omitted. The abstract should not contain abbreviations that will be recognized only by an expert on the subject, and it should not contain citations of the literature. In general, the abstract should be approximately one-twentieth or less of the length of the main body of the paper, with a maximum of 200 words.
V. Main Body of the Text
The main body of the text should be divided into sections headed Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, and Discussion, followed by Acknowledgments, Literature Cited, Tables, and Figure Legends. These headings should be set with no indentation from the left margin. Primary subheadings should be underlined and also set with no indentation from the left margin. The first paragraph under each of these headings should not be indented; thereafter, each new paragraph should be indented. Secondary subheadings should be underlined and followed by a period, with no indentation from the left margin. The text should begin on the same line.
If the manuscript reports on work conducted on vertebrate animals, the appropriate institutional approval number should be listed in the Material and Methods section of the text.
Footnotes should be incorporated into the text.
Spelling may follow either American or British convention, which must be consistent throughout. Punctuation, however, should follow that recommended in The Chicago Manual of Style.
VI. Literature Cited
Literature should be cited in the main body of the text by author name(s) and four-digit year of publication, with no comma separating the two. Multiple citations within a parenthesis should be made in chronological, not alphabetical, order, and separated by a semicolon. If two publications by the same author(s) appeared in the same year, the first should be designated by a lowercase a, the second by b, and so on, following the date. Papers by one or two authors should be cited in the text by one or two names; papers by three or more authors should be cited by the first author's name followed by "et al.," for example, Smith and Jones (1994a), but Johnson et al. (1995) for three or more authors.Bibliographic information should be given under Literature Cited, beginning on a new page and immediately following Acknowledgments. The listings should be double-spaced and arranged in alphabetical order. Publications by a single author should precede those by the same author with coauthors. Each reference should begin with the first author, name inverted, with no comma separating last name and initials, followed by the other authors, with names not inverted. After the first line of each reference, succeeding lines should be indented. Manuscripts that have not been accepted for publication must not be cited in the reference list, although the information can be mentioned in the text as unpublished observations or personal communications.
A. Journal article
The name of a journal should be spelled out and not italicized; the volume number should also be set in standard type and not italicized. Italics should be used for scientific names. Full pagination should be given.
Examples:
Bradley T.J. 1984. Mitochondrial placement and function in insect ion-transporting cells.
American Zoologist 24:157-167
Ruben J.A., and A.F. Bennett. 1987. The evolution of bone. Evolution 41: 1187-1197
Owerkowicz, T., C. Farmer, J.W. Hicks and B. Branierd. 1999. Breathing under mechanical
constraint: contribution of gular pumping to locomotor stamina in monitor lizards. Science
284:1661-1663
Smith A.B. 1995a. The rise in blood glucose during hibernation of the golden headed
plover Dickus birdus. Journal of Avian Metabolism 20:19-21.
Smith A.B. 1995b. The fall in blood glucose during hibernation of the golden headed
plover Dickus birdus. Journal of Avian Metabolism 20:22-23.
VII. Tables
Tables should be double-spaced on separate sheets following the Literature Cited section. They should be numbered in order of presentation in the text. The title should be placed at the top. Explanatory information and experimental conditions should be given as a note at the bottom. In the text, tables should be cited as Table 1, Table 2, and so on. Tables should be created using the word-processing software table editors. Authors are requested to design tabular material, if possible, so that the length exceeds the width, like a column on the printed page.
VIII. Figures
Suggestions for preparing figures can be found in the Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors and Publishers, 6th edition (Cambridge University Press), and The Chicago Manual of Style (The University of Chicago Press).
Figures should be numbered in order of presentation in the text. They should be cited in the text as Figure 1, Figure 2, and so on. The font of lettering used for figures should be simple and consistent throughout. Figure legends should be placed on a separate sheet following tables. A legend should begin with a title, followed by explanatory material and experimental conditions, in complete sentences. All pertinent conditions, such as temperature, salinity, pH and buffer composition, and so on, should be given, even if redundant.
Color figures may be submitted for review, but they will appear in black and white in print. Figures may be published in color if deemed necessary by the Editor in Chief, subject to a printing cost to be met by the authors of the accepted paper.
IX. Symbols, Units, and Nomenclature
Signs units and the notation scheme recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) must be used. Except for thermodynamics, the Celsius temperature scale is preferred.
Biochemical nomenclature should follow that proposed by the joint IUPAC-IUB (International Union of Biochemistry) Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature. Where appropriate, physiological nomenclature and notation should follow that recommended by various subcommittees on nomenclature of the IUPS (International Union of Physiological Sciences) and published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
The most recent taxonomic nomenclature must be used. At the first mention in the text (not the title), the species authority should be given. Although further classification need not be given, either in the title or the text, it is advisable to convey this information by either formal or informal name if the group will not be immediately recognized by most physiological zoologists.
Ad hoc abbreviations in the text are not acceptable.
X. Offprints and Page Charges
Fifty free offprints of each publication are supplied to the corresponding author unless otherwise requested.
No page charges are assessed for research papers, invited perspectives, or technical comments.
Preparing Accepted Manuscripts for Publication
Before an accepted manuscript is forwarded to production, the following items must be provided by the corresponding author to the editorial office of PBZ at the University of California, Irvine:
I. Signed Publication Agreement
II. Final Electronic Copy of the Accepted Manuscript and Tables
III. Final Electronic Copy of the Figures
IV. Final Hard Copy of the Accepted Manuscript
V. Final, Camera-Ready Artwork for Figures
These items should be sent via courier service to:
Physiological and Biochemical Zoology
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
321 Steinhaus Hall,
University of California, Irvine
Irvine, CA 92697-2525 USA
Please ensure that floppy disks are adequately protected. Damaged disks will delay the publication process. By following these instructions carefully, authors can avoid delays in the publication of their articles and can reduce the possibility of errors caused by the conversion of improperly formatted manuscripts or errors introduced if manuscripts have to be rekeyed.
I. Signed Publication Agreement
This document will be sent to you by the editorial offices of PBZ at the University of California, Irvine. This agreement or a copy of this agreement should be signed by each author and returned to the editorial offices via fax (949-824-9628) or courier service.
II. Final Electronic Copy of the Accepted Manuscript and Tables
Submit the electronic copy on a floppy disk in the most recent version of Microsoft Word or WordPerfect (rtf or pdf files are not acceptable). This document should include tables and figure legends, but not the figures themselves. Mark the disk "final" and note the date, the PBZ manuscript number, and the name of the corresponding author on the floppy disk.
Do not submit files that contain "links" to other files or that "subscribe" to other documents. Do not include anything in the - file that was not created with the word processor; e.g., do not embed tables from a spreadsheet or database program into a document (unless the word processor first converts them to its native format). Exception: for embedding equations in a word-processing file, see the Special Instructions for Mathematical and Other Non-ASCII Symbols.
Submit only the final version of the article, and submit only one electronic copy. The final hard copy and final electronic copy of the accepted manuscript should be identical.
III. Final Electronic Copy of the Figures
Figures for the accepted manuscript should be sent in the following formats, on the same floppy disk as the final manuscript. Camera-ready hard copies MUST be provided along with the electronic file.
Line art should be provided as bitmapped .tif files saved at a resolution of 800-1200 dpi (pixels per inch)
Black and white photographs, micrographs, etc. should be provided as grayscale .tif files saved at a resolution of approximately 300 dpi.
Color art should be provided as .eps files, CMYK, at a resolution of 150-300 dpi. (If this format is not available, provide color art as Photoshop files)
The following formats are not acceptable for figures: Word or Powerpoint files, .jpeg, or .gif files.
IV. Final Hard Copy of the Accepted Manuscript
- Use 12-point type in one of the standard fonts: Times, Helvetica, Arial, or Courier.
- Use double-spacing.
- Use underlining or italic, not both. Avoid boldface. Use minimal formatting on section headings. (Underlining, italic, or boldface may, of course, be used in instances where the formatting conveys a particular meaning: e.g., to distinguish mathematical variables.)
- If you use automatic footnotes and your word processor allows you to choose between footnotes and endnotes, always choose footnotes.
- If you use any revision or editorial tracking feature (such as Word's "Revisions" or "Track Changes" commands), be sure that the document you submit has been finalized, i.e., all changes have been accepted or rejected and the file contains only one version of the document.
- Use the word processor's built-in superscript and subscript attributes, rather than special commands to change the font size or position. Exception: when inserting footnotes, allow the word processor to format footnote references however it will.
- Use hard returns (pressing the "Return" or "Enter" key) only to end a heading or paragraph and begin a new one. Do not use hard returns to end a line early to make the right margin seem indented.
- Use tabs only to indent the beginning of a new paragraph. Do not insert tabs after the beginning of a paragraph to create a "hanging indent" (e.g., for references). Instead, change the left and first indent settings appropriately.
- Do not change fonts when italic or boldface is needed. Apply an italic or bold style to the font, but do not change the font itself.
- Do not use any automatic line numbering or paragraph numbering (for lists, etc.). Any numbers that should appear in your article must be typed in.
- Do not use "hidden text" or "comments" or nonprinting text of any kind.
- If your article contains mathematical formulae, special math characters, foreign letters, or other non-ASCII characters, see the Special Instructions for Mathematical and Other Non-ASCII Symbols.
V. Final, Camera-Ready Artwork for Figures
Quality
Generally, the quality of the artwork in print will rely on the quality of the camera-ready artwork provided by the author of an accepted manuscript. Artwork should be of good quality and clean, with clear lettering, sharp black lines, and sides trimmed straight. Photocopies are not acceptable. The scanner faithfully reproduces all smudges, crooked or broken lines, and stray marks. Tape, creases, and other surface irregularities may produce shadows that the scanner will render as black.
Keep in mind that figures will be reduced by about one-half, to a single column width. Do not use lines that are thinner than 2 points, and do not use the "hairline" width option that many computer programs offer.
Font and Content
Please use the same font type for all figures in your article; use standard fonts such as Times, Courier, Arial, Helvetica, or Symbol. Sans serif fonts such as Arial and Helvetica are ideal and should be used whenever possible.
Figures themselves should not contain a title or text that is duplicated in the figure legend.
Photographs
Photographs should be mounted on poster board, with margins on all sides. Light or electron micrographs should include a scale bar. Black transfer letters with white shadowing is preferred; final height after reduction should be at least 2 mm.
Internet Graphics
Graphics downloaded from Web pages are not acceptable for print reproduction. These graphics are low-resolution images (usually 72 dpi) that are suitable for screen display but far below acceptable standards for print reproduction. The only exception to this rule is a screen capture of a Web page that is being discussed or reviewed.
Copyright
If the artwork you are submitting has been published elsewhere or is otherwise copyrighted, we must have a letter of permission from the copyright holder in order to use the image. In addition, if the artwork is not your own, we will need information about its source.
Special Instructions for Tables
Authors using Word or WordPerfect must use those programs' table editors to create tables.
Do not create tables by typing single lines of text followed by a hard return, with spaces or tabs used to align columns. Such tables will have to be rekeyed, causing a possible delay in publication and an increased probability of error in the rekeyed data.
Do not embed tables from other applications into word-processing files unless the tables are converted to the word processor's native format. If the embedded table cannot be edited using the word processor's table editing and formatting commands, it will have to be rekeyed.
All the content of a table, including column heads and subheads, must be in a single table. Do not break large tables into smaller ones merely to accommodate page breaks.
In a table, each row of data must be in a separate row of table cells. Like this:
|
Birds |
|
|
|
Ducks |
100 |
200 |
|
Geese |
300 |
400 |
|
Beasts |
|
|
|
Lions |
500 |
600 |
|
Tigers |
700 |
800 |
Not like this:
|
Birds
Ducks
Geese |
100
300 |
200
200 |
|
Beasts
Lions
Tigers |
500
700 |
600
800 |
Do not put hard returns in table cells to increase the spacing between rows or to align data in rows. No table cell should contain a hard return. Allow the word processor to break lines where it will; line breaks to format column headings or complex data in table cells will be added during copyediting.
Empty cells are acceptable in a table. Cells that span multiple columns or rows should be made with the word processor's "Join Cells" or "Merge Cells" command. (Note that this feature is not available in all word processors.)
Special Instructions for Mathematical and Other Non-ASCII Symbols
Authors of math-intensive articles are strongly urged to format their articles in LaTeX. This is particularly important if the articles contain numerous or complex equations.
Display Equations
To produce display equations--equations that sit by themselves on a line--use the Equation Editor included with Microsoft Word (only Windows or Macintosh versions 6, 7, or 8) or WordPerfect (only Windows version 8 ).
Note that equations created with Word's Macintosh version 5 or WordPerfect's Macintosh version 3 or Windows versions 5, 6, or 7 cannot be used and will have to be rekeyed.
A fuller-featured version of the Equation Editor is sold as "MathType" from Design Science. If you have this application installed, you can choose "Insert > Object" in any version of Word or WordPerfect and select "MathType Equation."
In-line Math
To produce in-line math-small equations or single characters that appear within a line of regular text-you can insert the necessary characters like other normal text. If the desired math is too complex or not available as individual characters, then use Equation Editor.
For example, it is not necessary to use Equation Editor to put "x = q + 1" in a line of text. However, a more complex expression, such as , would require the Equation Editor.
Do not use Word's "fields" to insert equations or special symbols.
Special Characters
In any version of Word or WordPerfect, for Macintosh or Windows, the keyboard shortcuts for characters such as em-dashes, curly quotes, accented letters, and so on, are always acceptable.
For individual math symbols, Greek letters, and other special characters for which there is no keyboard shortcut, each version of Word or WordPerfect has an "Insert > Symbol" or "Insert > Character" command, which produces a chart of symbols from which you can choose.
In WordPerfect, if you choose "Insert > Symbol" or "Insert > Character", avoid symbols from the non-Western character sets (Cyrillic, Hebrew, Japanese, etc.).
In Word, if you choose "Insert > Symbol", choose characters only from the "normal text" font or the Symbol font. In Word for Windows version 8 (Word 97), choose characters only from the Basic Latin and Latin-1 subsets in "normal text" or the Symbol font.
In any word processor, characters produced with non-Latin fonts other than Symbol (e.g., Mathematical Pi, Dingbats, etc.) may not convert properly.
If you must insert characters in a non-Latin font other than Symbol, please circle them on your printed manuscript.
Note that some characters, especially when seen on a computer screen, are easily confused: e.g., a German "double-ess" (ß) and a lowercase beta (b ); or an apostrophe (') and a prime symbol (¢ ). Be sure to insert the character you want (and check your proofs carefully).
