Instructions to Authors
Journal of Applied Phycology publishes original articles relevant to practical uses of algae, including fundamental research, development of techniques and commercial applications. The scope includes algal biotechnology and genetic engineering, tissue culture, culture collections, commercially useful micro-algae and their products, marine culture, algal inoculation and soil fertility, pollution and fouling, monitoring, toxicity tests, toxic compounds and antibiotics. Each part of the journal also includes a section of camera-ready copy for brief notes and information on new products, patents and company news.
There is no page charge provided that the number and size of tables and figures is reasonable. In order to avoid long tables, species lists and other protocols, authors may deposit such material with any official repository and indicate this in the text. The National Technical Information Service of the U.S.A. is an example, but authors may select an institution of their choice, with the only restriction that data must be available for free consultation.
All papers should be written in English. Five categories of contributions are published:
- Research paper: 5-15 printed pages including tables, figures and references to the literature.
- Short research note or comment on recently published papers: 2-4 printed pages including an abstract and key words.
- Review paper: 10-25 printed pages. Papers which provide overviews for a broad readership are especially welcome. Prospective authors should consult the editor before submitting a review. Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright clearance.
- Brief notes for the camera-ready appendix to each number of the journal on topics of general interest such as new products, patents and company news.
Guidelines
Only papers that follow the journal format and these guidelines will be forwarded to reviewers. It is impossible to conduct a long correspondence with individual authors to try to get everything correct. However, the editor is pleased to advise and help anyone for whom these requirements pose a real problem, such as those working at isolated locations with limited facilities.
- All papers should be submitted on computer file, preferably as email attachments. There is absolutely no need for hard copy at any stage, unless the paper includes many special symbols, complex equations, or colour figures that are meant to be printed in colour. The main text should be sent as one file labelled with the name of the first author (not necessarily author for communication). Each figure file should be sent separately, labelled Fig1, Fig2 etc.
- Files must be accompanied by a statement that they have been checked with a very recent version of antiviral software.
- Files should use WORD word-processing software and be downloadable to a PC.
- Use Times New Roman 12 font throughout the text, unless it is convenient to use a smaller version of Times New Roman for large tables.
- For figures the preferred formats are WORD and TIFF, but various other formats are generally acceptable too (e.g. EPS, PDF, bitmap, JPEG, Excel). It is useful, but not essential, to include the Figure number and names of authors on the file with the figure, but outside the limit of the figure to be used by the printer. For figures that are meant to be printed in colour, submission of a hard copy original is required. Upon acceptance of the manuscript, the author will have to confirm whether the page has to appear in the printed journal in colour. The cost of colour figures is Euro 375.00 per page, irrespective of figure size or number of figures on the page. Please contact Kluwer Academic Publishers for more information at ruben.kramers@wkap.nl. Figures that are meant to be printed in black and white may nevertheless be submitted in colour as they can be published on the Kluwer website without additional costs.
- If there is doubt as to whether symbols or figures will transmit OK, make a test transmission to someone else locally before sending the file to the journal.
- The text should be presented in broadly the same format as for submitting hard copy - all pages numbered: main text, followed by tables (each on separate page) and figure legends. Do not introduce any unnecessary computer formatting or false spaces, such as extra lines between paragraphs or references. Do NOT adjust the right-hand margin of the text; if this has already been done and you then remove it: check that WORD has automatically made all the corrections. Do not introduce information which is not for publication, such as location of tables and figures and numbering of lines or references. Where essential, this will be done by the editor.
- If a table requires a different format or orientation from the rest of the text, ensure that it is set off by a Section Break.
- Check the layout of tables in the journal carefully to ensure that they conform; typically, items are aligned vertically on decimal place and the widest entry horizontally against the left-hand margin of each column.
General Requirements for Presentation and Layout
The general layout can be seen from any paper published in the journal and details, such as paragraph layout, are not given here. However, Kluwer introduced minor changes in 2002, including a different layout for references. It is best to submit with the latest format. Careless presentation may delay publication, even if the paper is accepted.
- Abbreviations and acronyms are listed after the Abstract, so must be explained again in the Abstract, if required there. However, do not use these unnecessarily.
- Papers must have a clear statement of the aim of the study; usually this fits into the final paragraph of the Introduction. Do not include repetition of the sort of comment which belongs in the Abstract.
- Do not combine Results and Discussion in research papers, unless there is a strong scientific reason for doing so, such as the development of a method. Do not separate Conclusions from Discussion unless there is an overwhelming reason to do so, such as making a formal recommendation to some international organization.
- Do not include references in Abstract or Results.
- Do not give long lists of references in the text. There should be a definite reason for each reference. If it is essential to make a broad comparison with other literature, this should be presented as a compact table.
- Keep the number of lines in tables to a minimum.
- Figures must be planned properly, as far as possible (though not essential) to fit one column width of the journal. Avoid all wasted space inside the figure and do not repeat axis labels where the figure consists of repeat components. Avoid unnecessary boxes - keep the number of bounding lines to the minimum; each axis used should indicate a different variable. Ensure that symbols and labels are large enough and spaced enough to reduce clearly; axis lines should reproduce clearly, without being too thick. Align numbers on vertical axis such that the decimal place (real or theoretical) is in the same position. Avoid subtle shading and ensure that cross-hatching and similar includes plenty of space and will reduce without blurring.
Recommendations on subject matter
- The Introduction must make clear the economic and practical relevance of the particular study. General comments about pollution or climatic change are insufficient.
- Papers dealing with antimicrobial effects should represent a substantial advance in knowledge, usually including chemical characterization of the molecule(s) involved; studies with crude extracts are insufficient unless the biological effects are striking and new. The journal receives so many submissions on antimicrobial effects that papers are unlikely to meet reviewer approval if they do not fulfil these requirements. In addition figures which reproduce the formula of known chemical compounds will not be included in those papers which are accepted.
- The journal also receives numerous submissions dealing with removal or effects of heavy metals, few of which meet approval by reviewers. Many of these papers fail to assess the previous literature properly: the new study often does little more than repeat what has been done before. Papers on this topic should have very clear aims and include a substantial body of new and interesting data.
Final recommendations
Before mailing a manuscript to Journal of Applied Phycology, proofread the final version thoroughly and correct any left-over errors. In particular, check the spelling of all scientific terms, Latin names of animals and plants, figure captions and tables. Are all units S.I.? Is all lettering properly composed and will it be readable after reduction? Are all numerical values and mathematical symbols exact? Are locations of figures and tables indicated in the margin? Make certain that every reference is abbreviated correctly, and appears both in the text and reference list.
To those scientists who use English as a foreign language, we strongly recommend that their manuscript be read by a native English-speaking colleague. Journal Abbreviations
