Submission of a paper is held to imply that it represents an original contribution not previously published and that it is not being considered elsewhere. Submission of Manuscripts: Manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief of The Plankton Society of Japan or the Editor-in-Chief of The Japanese Association of Benthology according to the contents of the manuscript. Submission of manuscripts by e-mail is recommended, though submission of hardcopies (original and two photocopies) by post is also acceptable. By e-mail, manuscripts are to be attached as MS-Word or pdf documents; figures and tables are to be sent as separate attachment files (jpg or pdf) or embedded in text files.

The copyright holder is indicated on the first page of each paper in the journal. To use the materials published in Plankton and Benthos Research, authors are requested to obtain permission through the appropriate Editor-in-Chief. Preparation of Manuscripts: Basic style for full-length papers and notes Manuscripts must be written in English on A4-sized sheets, leaving ample (20–30 mm) margins. Use double spacing throughout. Number each page in the lower margin and each line in the left margin. The first page of the manuscript should contain: title, author name(s), affiliation(s), mailing address(es), including postal code(s), and running head of not more than 40 letters. In full-length papers, the sequence of material should be: Abstract (page 2, not exceeding 250 words, followed by up to five key words in alphabetical order), text (from page 3, including Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, and Acknowledgements), References, Tables, Figure legends and Figures. Tables and Figures can be made in separate files from the text. Notes should not exceed 4 printed pages, and the introduction, methods, results and discussion should be presented in a single section without headings: Abstract, Key words, Acknowledgements and References should be as in full-length papers. See recent papers which you can download from the official website of Plankton and Benthos Research (https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/pbr). Scientific name of taxon All scientific names of genera and lower categories must be underlined to appear in italics or be directly italic. The complete scientific names (genus, species, authority and year: e.g. Calanus sinicusBrodsky, 1962) should be given for each animal species, without the year for plant species (e.g. Praestephanos suzukii (Tuji et Kociolek) Tuji), the first time they are mentioned (excluding Title and Abstract). Generic names should be spelt out when first appearing in each headed section (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion) and at the beginning of a sentence. If each section is subdivided under subtitles (e.g. Results, Discussion), the above-mentioned style is applied to each. Figures and Tables In text and legends, Figure(s) should be abbreviated as Fig(s). except at the beginning of sentences when it should be spelt in full. Legends of tables and figures must be self-explanatory. Figure files embedded or separately attached should be down-sized to reduce the total size of attached files as far as possible for reviewing purposes. High resolution figures for printing will be requested after acceptance. Units Use metric system, preferably the SI (Le Système International d'Unités) units and symbols (m–2, m–3, L, L–1, mL, mL–1, mM, µM, nM, cm min–1, km h–1, etc.). Example: 100 ind. m–3, 2.0 cells mL–1, 0.3 mm sec–1, 40%, 50.0°C. References References in the text should be written as follows: Abe (1986) for a single author, Sato & Saito (1980) or (Sato & Saito 1980) for two authors, and Sato et al. (1980) or (Sato et al. 1980) for more than two authors, and be separated by commas for multiple citations. In References, all published articles referred to in the text should be listed alphabetically and chronologically.

Authors will be charged for any extensive changes made to the proof. The cost of the first 10 printed pages of a paper will be waived; excess costs (¥7,000 per page) will be charged to the author(s). Author(s) should pay the costs of color prints (about ¥50,000 per page), but color figures can be published in the online version for free. Reprints should be applied for using the reprint order form sent out with the proofs. Notice: Non-members as well as members of the societies are invited to submit papers of publication in "Plankton and Benthos Research". The first 10 printed pages are free of charge. This policy came into effect on 1 January 2008 and we are looking forward to receiving submitted papers from plankton/benthos specialists around the world.
