ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
We are pleased to announce that we have moved to an online system of manuscript tracking called Manuscript Central. Authors are encouraged to submit their articles to ECOHEALTH online. This will allow even quicker and more efficient processing of your manuscript.Please log directly onto the sitehttp://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ecohealthand upload your manuscripts following the instructions given on the screen.SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
AUTHOR ACCOUNTSAuthors entering the journal's Manuscript Central site can either create a new account or use an existing one. When you have an existing account, use it for all your submissions and you can track their status on the same page.GETTING STARTEDOnce you have logged into your account, Manuscript Central will lead you through the submission process in a step-by-step orderly process. If you cannot finish your submission in one visit, you can save a draft and re-enter the process at the same point for that manuscript.While submitting your electronic manuscript, you will be required to enter data about your manuscript in the system. These include title, subtitle, author names and affiliations and so forth. Support for special characters is available. At any point during this process, there are Help buttons available to see common question and a support link to ask a specific question via email.UPLOADING FILESNote: All files uploaded for review in Manuscript Centralshould not exceed 1 MB in size. Electronic files can be uploaded as DOC (MS Word), PostScript, or RTF. PostScript files should already contain the graphics within the file. (PostScript files are converted by the system into PDF so that Editors and reviewers may share them.RTF (Rich Text Format) is a common export property of most popular word processors. Check your word processor to see if it can export or “SaveAs?your file in RTF format. MS Word and WordPerfect both contain this function. After uploading the RTF for text, you will be prompted for uploading graphics. Common graphics files such as GIF, JPEG, EPS, TIFF and many others are supported. After uploading the parts of the article in this manner, the system will convert the files to PDF. You will see the result of the conversion with the Acrobat plug-in in your browser. Keep copies of your word-processing and graphics files. You may want to revise the manuscript during the review process and you will need the original files if your manuscript is accepted. At any point during this process, there are Help buttons available to see common questions and a support link to ask a specific question via email. You will also be notified by email that your submission was successful.GRAPHICS QUALITYIf you are submitting electronic graphics that you have scanned, be prepared to send the hard copy originals upon request.

This also holds true for files created in low-resolution graphics environments such as MS Powerpoint, etc.KEEPING TRACKAfter submission, you may return periodically and monitorthe progress of your submission through the review process.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Enquiries to EcoHealth Editorial Office can be directed to journal@ecohealth.net. Information about the EcoHealth journal and network are available at http://www.ecohealth.net. Other Authors who are not sure whether their manuscript is appropriate for EcoHealth may submit an abstract to the journal for preliminary evaluation. Submission of an article to EcoHealth implies that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.ECOHEALTH SUBMISSIONSWhen submitting manuscripts to Manuscript Central, authors will be prompted to separately upload a title page, a cover letter, image files and manuscript files. Manuscripts not submitted according to EcoHealth style will be unsubmitted and returned to the author with a set of instructions, causing delays in the review process. TITLE PAGE: To ensure blind review, please submit a title page as a separate file on STEP 5 (Details & Comments Page) of the Manuscript Central author submission process. The title page should include all identifying information: 1. Title and subtitle of the paper; 2. Full names and affiliations for all authors (including any author disclaimers); 3. Full mailing and e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the author to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent; 4. Acknowledgements. COVER LETTER: A Cover Letter can be entered or pasted into the "Cover Letter" box or attached as a separate file on STEP 5 (Details & Comments Page) of the Manuscript Central author submission process. IMAGE FILES: Any figures, illustrations and maps should be uploaded as separate image files and should NOT be included with the manuscript text. See "Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print?MANUSCRIPT FILES: Manuscript should be anonymous (any identifying information should be submitted separately in the Title Page). Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, with text aligned flush left, wide margins and two returns after every element, such as titles, headings, paragraphs, legends, etc. Submitted manuscripts files should conform to the following sequence:
FRONT PAGE: Page 1 of your manuscript should include 1. Title and subtitle of the paper; 2. A shortened version or running head (no more than 45 characters); 3. Word count. Do NOT include details that will identify the author(s). ABSTRACT: Page 2 of your manuscript is the abstract and keywords. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and should state concisely the goals, methods, principle results and major conclusions of the paper. Use of acronyms in the abstract is discouraged. Up to 6 key words should follow the abstract.TEXT: Original Contributions and Reviews should not normally exceed 5000 words, although articles longer than 5000 words will be accepted on an occasional basis, if the topic demands this length of treatment. Where appropriate, authors should structure their article under the main headings of Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions. Since the journal welcomes research and practice that crosses disciplinary and sectoral boundaries, alternative structures will also be considered. Where necessary, please consult with the editorial office for guidance.CITATIONS: The “Author Date?system should be used for reference citations in the text. List multiple references by year and, within years, by alphabetical order. For example: (Bardach, 1982; Memon, 1982; Leonard, 1989, 1990; Smit, 1989a,b; McMichael et al., 1999). For citations of works by more than two authors, use the first author followed by “et al.?All references cited in the text must be included in the References list. REFERENCES: The list of references should begin on a separate page and must include a full list of literature cited, typed double-spaced. List references alphabetically by the last name of the first author. If the first author has more than one publication listed, list references in alphabetical order of subsequent authors last names. If the first author shares the last name with another first author (Smith JM vs. Smith RB), alphabetize by initials. If you list more than one publication by the same author/group of authors, arrange publications by date, early to late. If you list more than one publication published in the same year by the same author/group of authors, use a, b, c, d, and so on to distinguish the publications. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy of their references. All references must include:
If you are uncertain what to include, please include allinformation.TYPES OF REFERENCES:1. Journal article McMichael AJ, Bolin B, Costanza R, Daily GC, Folke C, Lindahl-Kiessling K, et al.

Place each table on a separate page. Provide a brief title above each table. Keep column headings and descriptive matter brief and do not use vertical rules between columns. Tables should not duplicate information in the text. FIGURES (illustrations, including line drawings, photographs, and maps): Figures may be from original artwork, photographs, graphs, or charts. Number with Arabic numerals and refer to figures consecutively in the text. Include a legend (i.e., caption) for all figures, typed double-spaced on a separate sheet at the end of the manuscript. Note: Figures should be saved in a separate EPS or TIFF file and not embedded into the text of the document.COST OF COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS: Color can be used without charge for the electronic edition of the journal but will appear in the printed version of the journal at the author’s expense. The cost for color reproduction in the printed journal is $1,150.00 per article, charged to the author.SUBMISSION OF ILLUSTRATIONS: Please submit all illustrations electronically, since this is the format that will be sent to peer reviewers. While illustrations produced using standard presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) are acceptable for the purposes of peer review, they are NOT an acceptable electronic format for production and publication. We therefore strongly advise authors to adhere to the Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print outlined below. Note: If accepted for publication, production-quality images must be submitted to the Editorial office as electronic files, savedaccording to the following specifications.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GUIDELINES FOR ELECTRONICALLY PRODUCED ILLUSTRATIONS
ONLINE FIRST PRODUCTION WORKFLOW
All articles published in EcoHealth will follow the Springer Online First production workflow, enabling publication on the SpringerLink website soon after receipt of author corrections to galley proofs. Once an article has been accepted, and received by the publisher in a complete form (with all figures, tables, references, finalized text, signed copyright transfer statement, and valid e-mail address—see Manuscript specifications), the article will be typeset and galley proofs will be available electronically for author proofreading. After your article has been received by the Springer production department, you should expect an e-mail in approximately 6-8 weeks from the production editor which will provide a link to the electronic proof of the article, and a user id and password that will enable access to the proof. A file containing a list of proofreader’s marks and a fax cover sheet (along with a url for online reprint orders) will also be available for downloading at this time. We ask that the author print out the article, mark all corrections clearly on the pages, and fax (or overnight courier) the pages with corrections to the production editor.This will be the only proof you see for this article; the responsibility for proofreading is yours. Once you have returned the proofs, no other corrections will be allowed except in the form of an erratum. After the production editor implements the corrections, the article will be published Online First on the journal’s website, SpringerLink. (Please note: When the article is published it will have a different link [URL address] from the one you received for the galley proofs.) The article will be citable by the digital object identifier (DOI), a unique and persistent identification code assigned to the article upon acceptance and attached to it throughout the production and publication process (for more information about DOI, log on to www.doi.org). Publication of each article will be announced to SpringerLink Alert subscribers who will then be allowed access to the article abstract; access to the full article is available to individual and institutional subscribers and to EcoHealth Journal Consortium members. Please remember that the speed with which your papers can be published Online First depends on the prompt return of proofs. The article will be published first electronically as described above. It will eventually be assigned to a print issue of EcoHealth in an order determined by the Editor-in-Chief. The date of electronic publication will appear in both the electronic and print versions. |
