Detailed Instructions to Authors
To learn how to submit a manuscript please click here

Accepted manuscripts

When sending a finalised version of an accepted manuscript, use short, meaningful filenames (PC users should name the files using only 12 characters). Before saving, remove all possible comments and accept all Track changes. Save word-processor files in .rtf or MSWord .doc format. See below for the graphic file formats. As a reference, either a PDF file of an entire article or respective hardcopies should also be sent.

Use either British or American English consistently throughout the text. Write in a clear style. Avoid the use of the passive voice. The pronouns I (we), me (us), and my (our) should preferably be used and thus reflect the responsibility of the author(s) towards the study. The authors bear full responsibility for the quality of the language. If English is not your first language, make sure that the manuscript is checked by a native English speaker, preferably one familiar with the nomenclature used. All manuscripts will be thoroughly checked by someone proficient in English, and returned for further corrections if found to be linguistically inadequate.

Certain elements of the manuscript layout that are requested here ?but not present in the printed articles ?are necessary to facilitate the typesetting process.

Tenses

In scientific writing, only two tenses are normally used: present and past (simple). So-called `perfect tenses' (e.g. present perfect) should be avoided. Thus, there are the following `tense' rules that should be observed:

  • Established knowledge (previous results) should be given in the present tense;
  • Description of methods and results in the current paper should be in the past (simple) tense;
  • Presentation is given in the present tense;
  • Attributions (e.g. Jones (1995) reported that ...) are given in the past tense.

Dashes

  • A hyphen (the shortest "-") used for example in hyphenation and compound words,
  • An en-dash ("?; indicated in a manuscript with two hyphens "- -") used chiefly as a minus in subtraction or in ranges of values or dates (2? same as from two to five),
  • An em-dash (the longest "?; indicated in a manuscript with three hyphens "- - -") chiefly used for the separation of an explanatory and digressive element of a sentence or in references.

Numbers

  • Always use decimal points, not commas.
  • Always use leading zeros in decimal fractions.
  • In long numerals (five and more digits), the digits should be marked off in groups of three by spaces (not commas!), starting from the left (e.g., 15 369).
  • Numbers from 1 to 10 (also ordinals) in a text should be written out (not 5 but five).

Symbols

  • One-letter symbols (normal, in subscript or superscript) representing numerical values (mathematical or statistical variables) must always be italicised.
  • Multi-letter symbols (normal, in subscript or superscript) representing numerical values (mathematical or statistical variables) are never italicised.
  • Vectors are set in boldface italic.
  • Matrices are set in boldface but not italics.
  • Usage of a multiplication symbol is not recommended. If, however, its presence in an equation is required for clarity reasons please use 'x' instead of a dot.
  • Other symbols (abbreviations) are not italicised.
  • Check that the same symbol does not have multiple meanings (e.g., P = phosphorus and P = significance level or N = nitrogen and N = amount of samples or repetitions).
  • Improper typesetting of symbols may result in ambiguities misinterpretations.

Italicisation

  • Latin names of genera and lower taxa (e.g., Salmo trutta).
  • Words which are originally not English (e.g., in vitro).
  • Ship (vessel) names.
  • Titles of books.
  • For italicisation of symbols see above.

Units

  • Only SI system units should be used (with some exceptions e.g., 1 祄 not 10--6 m).
  • In composite units, use numbers in superscript instead of divisions (e.g., 30 m s--1 not 30 m/s). A unit should be given in parentheses () not in brackets [] or after a comma.
  • The above style should be used consistently throughout the entire article (also in figures and tables).

Dates

  • Dates should be written according to the following format: day.month.year (e.g., 12 Dec. 1972 or 12 December 1972 or !2.XII.1972, NOT December 12, 1972).
  • Months should be written in full (e.g., January), abbreviated (e.g., Jan.) or expressed with roman numerals (January "I", February "II" and so on).

Time

  • The 24-hour system should exclusively be used. The day begins at midnight, denoted as 00:00 (0000 hrs), and ends at 23:59 (2359 hrs).

Abbreviations and acronyms

  • Each abbreviated word should end in a full stop (e.g., Professor = Prof., Volume = Vol. species nova = sp. nov.).
  • There is no punctuation used in acronyms unless the English grammar rules dictate otherwise.

Geographic nomenclature

  • Always use internationally recognised and existing names. In questionable cases, refer to the Times Atlas of the World or Merriam-Webster's Geographic Dictionary to make sure that a name you intend to use is listed in their indexes, and its spelling is correct. Use of coordinates (latitude and longitude) is strongly recommended.

Text

  • Use exclusively your word processor's NORMAL style settings throughout the entire manuscript (default font size 12 points, no indentation, no boldface, no capitalisation, left justified, without multiple spaces or tabulators, or other unusual formatting).
  • Insert a blank line before each element of the text (headings, subheadings, paragraphs, tables and so on)
  • Remove section and page breaks from the text.
  • Number chapter headings as follows:
    • Chapter headings (Introduction, Material and methods, Results, Discussion and other headings) are numbered decimally starting with "1.". Abstract, References and Acknowledgements, are not numbered.
    • Sub-chapter headings should be numbered e.g.: "1.1.", "1.1.1.", and so on, depending on how many levels of sub-chapters you have in your article.
    • THE NUMBERING OF CHAPTERS AND SUB-CAPTERS SERVES ONLY EDITORIAL PURPOSES AND WILL NOT APPEAR IN PRINT, HENCE DO NOT REFER TO PARTS OF YOUR OWN ARTICLE USING THESE NUMBERS.
  • Use Symbol font for Greek letters.
  • Graphics (except for equations) should not be placed within the text file.
  • Refer to tables and figures parenthetically.
  • Check that the printed version is the same as the one on the diskette (when submitting the final version via mail).
  • Title: Never in capital letters or boldface, not centred; short version of the title (max. 50 letters) should also be provided.
  • Author: First names in full (other initials, if any) and surnames (James T. Brown, not J. T. Brown) should be given.
  • Address: As complete as possible (including e-mail). Each author's affiliation should be identified with numbers in subscript.
  • Abstract: Should consist of only one paragraph of up to 150 words. References to literature are not allowed in abstracts.
  • Key words (only Annales Botanici Fennici): They are always arranged in alphabetical order.
  • Appendices: If there is only one appendix it can be referred to in the text as 'Appendix' without the number. Otherwise, appendices should be numbered.
  • Footnotes: They are allowed only in tables (rarely in text).
  • Equations: Each equation occupies a separate line. Place an equation's number on the right-hand side e.g.: N = 0.3Wln(a + b) (1). Equations should be referred to as "Eq.", followed by the appropriate number. Please remember that there is only limited space for equations (column width); therefore, if equation is unusually long, it should be split in two or more parts connected with operators. Equations embedded in the text should preferably be written with either MSEquation Editor of MathType.
  • Tables
    • Prepare tables with a word processing programme.
    • Tables should be comprehensible without reference to the main text.
    • Do not place tables within the text. They should be saved in separate files or placed at the end of the text file.
    • All tables should be prepared with tabulators. However, if you prefer using the table tool of your word-processing programme, please do not insert line breaks (carriage returns) and/or spaces inside the cells. The number of cells in a table should equal the number of rows multiplied by the number of columns.
    • Vertical lines are not allowed.
    • A TABLE SHOULD NOT BE DIVIDED INTO PARTS OR SECTIONS IDENTIFIED WITH LETTERS. THE PARTS SHOULD BE JOINED OR EACH SECTION OF SUCH A TABLE SHOULD BE PRESENTED AS A SEPARATE TABLE.
    • Tables should fit an A4-sized page, preferably in portrait.
    • All tables should be referred to in the text in the proper numerical order (e.g., the first reference to Table 2 cannot precede the first reference to Table 1).
    • Refer to tables parenthetically; e.g. '... (Table 1)'. 'Table 1 shows ...' type statements should always be avoided.
    • IF YOU REFER TO TABLES PUBLISHED ELSEWHERE THE REFERENCE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY 'table' (note that the lowercase t should be used).
  • Figures and drawings
    • Figures should be comprehensible without reference to the main text.
    • Only high-quality laser (NOT INK-JET OR BUBBLE-JET) printouts or hand-drawings (originals or flawless copies) are accepted; freehand lettering is not allowed.
    • Figures should be prepared exclusively with black-and-white or grey-scale settings unless they are meant to be printed in colour. Different colours may produce the same shade of grey when printed in black-and-white.
    • For preferred figure sizes please see pages of our journals.
    • Figures must withstand size reduction.
    • Figures, drawings and photographs must always be referred to as "Fig.", followed by a number.
    • IF YOU REFER TO FIGURES PUBLISHED ELSEWHERE THE REFERENCE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY 'fig.' (note that the lowercase f should be used).
    • If submitted as hardcopies, all figures (pictures, drawings and photographs) should be clearly identified on the reverse side with the name(s) of the author(s) and number of the figure. In doubtful cases, the top of the picture should be indicated with an arrow.
    • All captions should be submitted in the form of a separate file or placed at the end of the text file.
    • Avoid fancy design (e.g., 3-D).
    • Use the same font in all figures and within a figure. Arial is recommended. Freehand lettering is unacceptable.
    • The axes in graphs should always be named and units, if needed, should be given in parentheses.
    • Axis title should be placed parallel to the respecive axis.
    • Explain all graphic symbols (e.g. squares, triangles and so on) within the figure, not in caption. A legend should be placed under the figure not next to it.
    • Relate the size of letters, the thickness of lines (preferably uniform for all figure items), and the size of other parts of a figure, to the size of the figure itself.
    • Identify parts of a composite figure with letters, not numbers.
    • All figures should be referred to in the text in the proper numerical order (e.g., the first reference to Fig. 2 cannot precede the first reference to Fig. 1).
    • Refer to figures parenthetically; e.g. '... (Fig. 1)'. 'Fig. 1 shows ...' type statements should always be avoided when referring to figures presenting results.
    • Important: Please avoid presenting data in pie-charts; present these data in tables or bar-charts.
    • Photographs should be provided as prints, or slides. [top]
    • Digital photographs should be provided as uncompressed JPEG files. The highest available quality settings should be used when taking digital pictures (at least 300 pixels per square inch are needed for printing).
    • There is an extra charge for printing of illustrations in colour (inquire at the Editorial Office [sekj@helsinki.fi]).
    • If illustrations have been prepared with a computer programme they can be sent to us as files of the following formats :
      • encapsulated postscript (EPS),
      • portable document format (PDF print quality),
      • Adobe Photoshop (.pds),
      • Adobe Illustrator 10 (or older),
      • Corel, or
      • Excel (if you use Excel the default line thickness should be set to no less than 0.5; and the default colour of lines and fillings to black).

Final remarks

The first or appointed author will receive proofs of the article. Errors caused by editorial or linguistic alterations will be corrected free of charge. Other errors, especially if their correction affects the layout, may be corrected for a fee. We do not assume responsibility for misinterpretation of illegibly marked corrections.

The proofs with both attached forms (filled in) should be returned to the Editorial Office exclusively by mail within 48 hours of their arrival. Errors found after the proofs have been returned may not be corrected.

Unfortunately we are unable to grant authors free offprints. The payable offprints of an article (minimum 30 copies) can be ordered by the corresponding or appointed author directly from the Editorial Office using the form attached to the proofs (for rates see prices).

If no offprints have been ordered, each author will receive one free copy of an issue in which his/hers article has been published. The copies will be sent by unregistered mail to the corresponding author.
