The American Malacological Bulletin serves as an outlet for reporting notable contributions in malacological research. Manuscripts concerning any aspect of original, unpublished research, important short reports, and detailed reviews dealing with molluscs will be considered for publication.
Each original manuscript and accompanying illustrations must be submitted with two additional copies for review purposes. Text must be typed on one side of 8.5 x 11 inch bond paper, double-spaced, and all pages numbered consecutively with numbers appearing in the upper right hand corner of each page. Leave ample margins on all sides. Form of the manuscript should follow that outlined in the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual (sixth edition, 1994). This can be purchased from the CBE, 11 S. LaSalle Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, IL 60603, U.S.A.
Text, when appropriate, should be arranged in sections as follows:
- Cover page with title, author(s) and address(es), and suggested running title of no more than 50 characters and spaces. Authors should also supply five key words, placed at the base of this page, for indexing purposes.
- Abstract (less than 5% of manuscript length)
- Text of manuscript starting with a brief introduction followed by methodology, results, and discussion. Separate sections of text with centered subtitles in capital letters.
- Acknowledgments
- Literature cited
- Figure captions
All binomens must include the author and date attributed to that taxon the first time the name appears in the manuscript [e. g. Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin, 1791)]. This includes non-molluscan taxa. The full generic name along with specific epithet should be written out the first time that taxon is referred to in each paragraph. The generic name can be abbreviated in the remainder of the paragraph as follows: C. virginica.
References should be cited within text as follows: Hillis (1989) or (Hillis, 1989). Dual authorship should be cited as follows: Yonge and Thompson (1976) or (Yonge and Thompson, 1976). Multiple authors of a single article should be cited as follows: Beattie et al. (1980) or (Beattie et al., 1980).
In the literature cited section of the manuscript references must also be typed double-spaced. All authors must be fully identified, listed alphabetically and journal titles must be unabbreviated. Citations should be formatted as follows:
Beattie, J. H, K. K. Chew, and W. K. Hershberger. 1980. Differential survival of selected strains of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) during summer mortality. Proceedings of the National Shellfisheries Association 70:184-189.
Hillis, D. M. 1989. Genetic consequences of partial self fertilization on population of Liguus fasciatus (Mollusca: Pulmonata: Bulimulidae). American Malacological Bulletin 7:7-12.

Yonge, C. M. and T. E. Thompson. 1976. Living Marine Molluscs. William Collins Son and Co., Ltd., London. 288 pp.
Illustrations should be clearly detailed and readily reproducible. Fine patterns and screens do not reproduce well. All line drawings should be in black, high quality ink. Photographs must be on glossy, high contrast paper. All diagrams must be numbered in the lower right hand corners and adequately labeled with sufficiently large labels to remain readable with reduction by one half. Magnification bars must appear on the figure, or the caption must read Horizontal field width = x mm or x 祄. All measurements must be in metric units. All illustrations submitted for publication must be fully cropped, mounted on a firm white backing ready for reproduction, and have author's name, paper title, and figure number on the back. All figures in plates must be contiguous. Additional figures submitted for review purposes must be of high quality reproduction. Xerographic reproduction of photomicrographs or detailed photographs will not be acceptable for review. Explanations of abbreviations used in a figure should occur in the figure caption. Indicate in text margins the appropriate location in which figures should appear. Color illustrations can be included at extra cost to the author. Original illustrations will be returned to author if requested.
Authors are encouraged to submit electronic copies of the illustrations in 3.5" high-density diskettes, CDs, or Iomega Zip disks. Original media will be returned to author if requested. All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS formats. Files for full color images must be in a CMYK color space. Do not submit native application formats. AMB quality reproduction will require grayscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 dpi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 dpi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly. Each individual figure or graphic must be supplied as a separate, stand-alone file, accompanied by a high quality hard copy. Figure files must be named with their respective numbers and graphic type such as Fig1.tif, Figure2.eps, etc. Long file names are acceptable. When creating figures, use font sizes and line weights that will reproduce clearly and accurately when figures are sized to the appropriate column width. Do not include figure legends in a graphic file. Any manuscript not conforming to AMB format will be returned to the author for revision.
Final submission of accepted, revised manuscripts should include a typed copy of the text, tables, etc. and an additional copy of the text in electronic form on 3.5" diskette. The electronic version should be readable as non-formatted RTF files.
New Taxa
The Bulletin welcomes complete descriptions of new molluscan taxa. Establishment of new taxa must conform with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1985). Descriptions of new species-level taxa must include the following information in the order as given: higher taxon designation as needed for clarity; family name with author and date; generic name with author and date; Genus species author sp. nov. followed by numeration of all figures and tables; complete synonymy (if any); listing of type material with holotype and any other type material clearly designated along with complete museum catalogue or accession information; listing of all additional non-type material also with full museum deposition information; type locality; diagnosis and full description of material done in telegraphic style including measurements and zoogeographic distribution as necessary; discussion; etymology. Descriptions of new supraspecific taxa should include type species (for new genus) or type genus (for new family), diagnosis and full description done in telegraphic style, and list of included taxa.
Proofs
Page proofs will be sent to the author and must be checked for printer's errors and returned to the printer within a three-day period. Significant changes in text, other than printer errors, will produce publishing charges that will be billed to the author.
Mailing
All overseas mailing must be done via airmail. The American Malacological Society will not be responsible for deferred publication of manuscripts delayed in surface mail.
Charges
There are no mandatory page costs to authors lacking financial support. Authors with institutional, grant, or other research support will be billed for page charges. The current rate is $35.00 per printed page. Acceptance and ultimate publication is in no way based on ability to pay page costs.
Reprints
Order forms and reprint cost information will be sent with page proofs. The author receiving the order form is responsible for insuring that orders for any co-authors are also placed at that time.
Submission
Submit all manuscripts to Dr. Janice Voltzow, Editor-in-Chief, Department of Biology, University of Scranton, Scranton, PA 18510-4625, USA.
