Instructions to Authors
ACTA PROTOZOOLOGlCA publishes original papers on experimental or theoretical research in all fields of protistology with the exception of faunistic notices of local character and purely clinical reports. Short communications, as well as longer review articles may also be submitted. Contributions should be written in English. Submission of a manuscript to ACTA PROTOZOOLOGICA implies that the contents are original and have not been published previously, and are not under consideration or accepted for publication elsewhere. There are no page charges except colour illustration. Names and addresses of suggested reviewers will be appreciated. In case of any question please do not hesitate to contact Editor. Authors should submit papers to:
Mrs Małgorzata Woronowicz-Rymaszewska Managing Editor of ACTA PROTOZOOLOGICA Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, ul. Pasteura 3, 02-093 Warszawa, Poland Fax: (4822) 822 53 42 E-mail: jurek@ameba.nencki.gov.pl Extensive information on ACTA PROTOZOOLOGICA is now available via internet. The address is: http://www.nencki.gov.pl/ap.htm
Organization of Manuscripts
Submissions
Please enclose three copies of the text, one set of original of line drawings (without lettering!) and three sets of copies with lettering, four sets of photographs (one without lettering). In case of photographs arranged in the form of plate, please submit one set of original photographs unmounted and without lettering, and three sets of plates with lettering.
The ACTA PROTOZOOLOGICA prefers to use the author抯 word-processor disks (format IBM or IBM compatible, and MacIntosh 6 or 7 system) of the manuscripts instead of rekeying articles. Please send a copy of the disk with your manuscript. Preferable programs are Word or WordPerfect for Windows. Disks will be returned with galley proof of accepted article at the same time. Please observe the following instructions:
1. Label the disk with your name: the word processor/computer used, e.g. IBM; the printer used, e.g. Laserwriter; the name of the program, e.g. Word for Windows.
2. Send the manuscript as a single file; do not split it into smaller files.
3. Give the file a name which is no longer than 8 characters.
4. If necessary, use only italic, bold, underline, subscript and superscript. Multiple font, style or ruler changes, or graphics inserted the text, reduce the usefulness of the disc.
5. Do not right-justify and use of hyphen at the end of line.
6. Avoid the use of footnotes.
7. Distinguish the numerals 0 and 1 from the letters O and l.
Text (three copies)
The text must be typewritten, double-spaced, with numbered pages. The manuscript should be organized into Summary, Key words, Abbreviations used, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Tables and Figure
Legends. The Title Page should include the full title of the article, first name(s) in full and surname(s) of author(s), the address(es) where the work was carried out, page heading of up to 40 characters. The present address for correspondence, Fax, and E-mail should also be given.
Each table must be on a separate page. Figure legends must be in a single series at the end of the manuscript. References must be listed alphabetically, abbreviated according to the World List of Scientific Periodicals, 4th ed. (1963). Nomenclature of genera and species names must agree with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, third edition, London (1985) or International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, adopted by XIV International Botanical Congress, Berlin, 1987. SI units are preferred.

Illustrations
All line drawings and photographs should be labelled, with the first author抯 name written on the back. The figures should be numbered in the text as Arabic numerals (e.g. Fig. 1). Illustrations must fit within either one column (86 x 231 mm) or the full width and length of the page (l77 x 231 mm). Figures and legends should fit on the same page. Lettering will be inserted by the printers and should be indicated on a tracing-paper overlay or a duplicate copy.
Line drawings (three copies + one copy without lettering)
Line drawings should preferably be drawn about twice in size, suitable for reproduction in the form of well-defined line drawings and should have a white background. Avoid fine stippling or shading. Computer printouts of laser printer quality may be accepted, however *.TIF, *.PSD, *.CDR graphic formats (Grayscale and Color - 600 dpi, Art line - 1200 dpi) on CD are preferred.
Photographs (three copies + one copy without lettering)
Photographs at final size should be sharp, with a glossy finish, bromide prints. Photographs grouped as plates (in size not exceeding 177 x 231 including legend) must be trimmed at right angles accurately mounted and with edges touching and mounted on firm board. The engraver will then cut a fine line of separation between figures. Magnification should be indicated. Colour illustration (charged) on positive media (slides 60 x 45 mm, 60 x 60 mm, transparency or photographs) is preferred.
Proof sheets and offprints
Authors will receive one set of page proofs for correction and are asked to return these to the Editor within 48-hours. Fifty reprints will be furnished free of charge. Orders for additional reprints have to be submitted with the proofs.
