About the journal
Biotechnic & Histochemistry (formerly Stain technology) is the official publication of the Biological Stain Commission. The journal is published bimonthly (one volume per year starting with the January issue) by BIOS Scientific Publishers Ltd. on behalf of the Biological Stain Commission.
Biotechnic & Histochemistry is an interdisciplinary journal embracing all aspects of histochemistry and microtechnic in all areas of the biological sciences from botany to cell biology to medicine.
Papers concerning topics as diverse as in situ hybridization, cytochemical probes, autoradiography, light and electron microscopy, tissue culture, image analysis, cytogenetics and automation or computerization of investigative procedures are appropriate for publication.
Papers reporting innovative technical methods and/or their applications are considered for publication regardless of their length. Letters to the Editor and review articles concerning topics of special and current interest also are published.
Each issue is fully available online. Table of contents and abstracts are freely available to all
Instructions to Authors
BIOTECHNIC & HISTOCHEMISTRY (formerly Stain Technology) is the official publication of the Biological Stain Commission. The journal is published by BIOS Scientific Publishers Ltd. on behalf of the Biological Stain Commission.
Copyright
When a submitted manuscript is published, it becomes the sole property of the journal. Copyright will be taken out in the name of the Biological Stain Commission, and all rights in copyright reserved to the Biological Stain Commission.
Scope of the journal
BIOTECHNIC & HISTOCHEMISTRY is an interdisciplinary journal embracing all aspects of histochemistry and microtechnic in all areas of the biological sciences from botany to cell biology to medicine.
Papers concerning topics as diverse as in situ hybridization, cytochemical probes, autoradiography, light and electron microscopy, tissue culture, image analysis, cytogenetics and automation or computerization of investigative procedures are appropriate for publication.
Kinds of articles
Papers submitted to BIOTECHNIC & HISTOCHEMISTRY must report unpublished work and must not be submitted simultaneously elsewhere. Regular papers reporting innovative technical methods and/or their applications are considered for publication regardless of their length. Letters to the Editor and review articles concerning topics of special and current interest also are published.
Preparation of manuscript
- An original and two copies of the manuscript and all figures must be submitted.
- The manuscript must be accompanied by a disk if possible. The format must be PC/Windows compatible and the text must be prepared using Microsoft Word or recent versions of Word Perfect. Assistance can be provided to authors who have difficulty providing a disk. The disk version must match the printout exactly; in cases where differences are found, the disk version will be used.
- Manuscripts must be typed double spaced, including footnotes, references, legends, etc. on one side only of 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper. Allow top, bottom, and side margins of at least 1 inch.
Organize the manuscript as follows:
- On page 1 give the short title (running head); below this give the name and address of the person to whom proofs and other correspondence are to be sent.
- On page 2 give the full title of the article and the names and addresses, including institutional affiliations, of the author or authors as they are to appear in the journal. Institutional affiliations should always be given in English.
- On page 3 provide an abstract of 100-400 words. The abstract is in lieu of a summary and is required for every paper. It should be written in an informative style permitting its use, without revision, by abstracting services. Give essential details of technics or research findings. Avoid generalizations and nonessential information.
- List three to ten key words, arranged alphabetically, to assist in indexing.
- Use page 4 and succeeding pages for the text of the article.
Papers should be divided into sections: Introduction (untitled), Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and References. Each section should begin on a new page.
Abbreviations and nomenclature
For abbreviations and nomenclature authors should consult the latest edition of the CSE Style Manual available from the Council of Science Editors, 60 Revue Drive Suite 500 Northbrook, IL 60062.
Biological stains
For biological stains, use the nomenclature given in H. J. Conn's Biological Stains, 9th Edition, 1977, by R. D. Lillie, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Company, Baltimore, MD. All stains should be identified by Colour Index number and/or by batch or certification number.
Figures and tables
Figure legends may be combined on pages separate from the body of the text as may be convenient, i.e., a separate page for each legend is not required. Legends should not be attached to or incorporated into photomicrographs or other illustrative material. Figure legends must be self-explanatory and intelligible. Each figure must be numbered; numbers should be applied to the lower left corner of each photograph and should contrast with the background.
For photomicrographs, magnifications must be given in the legend or scale markers shown on the micrograph. Photographs should be submitted as sharp, focused, glossy prints with appropriate contrast. Line diagrams should be supplied as high quality laser printouts without shading.
Photocopies are not acceptable. Do not mount figures. On the back of each figure indicate the top of the figure, the figure number, and the first author's name.
Figures and tables are printed 1 column width (8 cm or 3 1/8 inches), 2 column width (16.5 cm or 6 1/2 inches), or full page size (16.5 x 22.5 cm or 6 1/2 x 8 3/4 inches). To avoid the vagaries of cropping and sizing, it is best to submit figures and illustrations sized to conform to the parameters given above.
Black and white figures are reproduced at no cost to authors.
Color figures are welcome; they must be sized and prepared as described for black and white photographs. Up to three pages of color figures are reproduced at no cost to authors. All pages of color beyond the initial three will be at the author's expense. A cost estimate will be sent to the corresponding author for approval prior to typesetting.
A separate page for each table usually is advantageous for both author and typesetter. Do not use vertical rules in tables. Titles should be self-explanatory.
If authors reproduce previously published material in their article, they are responsible for obtaining written permission from the original authors and publisher prior to publication. A copy of all relevant correspondence should be provided with the manuscript.
References
Provide an unnumbered alphabetical listing at the end of the paper entitled "References." These must include the last names and initials of all authors, the complete title of the article, the abbreviated journal title, volume and inclusive page numbers. For example:
Oren N, Letenski MS (1991) Motor nerve terminal staining combined with catecholamine histofluorescence or immunocytochemistry. Biotechnic. & Histochem. 66: 1-25.
Book references should include the date, edition, publisher, the publisher's city, and pages cited.
Book titles should be italicized or underlined in typescript. For example:
Bancroft JD, Stevens A (1996) Theory and Practice of Histological Techniques. Churchill Livingstone, New York. pp. 560-562.
Text citations are given by author name and date without a comma. For example:
(Oren and Letinsky 1991)
Conforming to the specifications given here greatly facilitates both editing and typesetting.
Manuscripts failing to conform may be returned to the authors for retyping.
Editorial charge
A charge of $50.00 per hour may be assessed for extensive editorial revision of accepted manuscripts that occasionally may be required to ensure the quality of presentation expected for BIOTECHNIC & HISTOCHEMISTRY. These services will be supplied to authors as the Editor considers necessary. Editorial charges may be refused without prejudice to present or future publications, and under no circumstances should they be paid from authors' incomes.
Proofs and offprints
The corresponding author of each paper will be sent proofs to check and approve. Authors must check their proofs carefully and return them to the Editor within 3 days of receipt by fax or express mail. Major changes to the text will be charged to the author and may delay publication. Fifty free offprints will be supplied to the corresponding author. Additional offprints may be purchased.
