About the journal
The journal publishes original research reports, authoritative reviews, technical developments and commissioned book reviews of studies of the effects produced by low temperatures on a wide variety of scientific and technical processes, or those involving low temperature techniques in the investigation of physical, chemical, biological and ecological problems.
CryoLetters is particularly keen to keep a broad view of low temperature science and technology, and therefore welcomes papers which bridge disciplines and may not suit the narrow specialism of other journals. Although the general emphasis is on biological sciences, physical and chemical aspects are published often where they have a particular application in cryobiology.
Aspects of temperature acclimation and hibernation are welcome as are scientific studies of supercooling and vitrification. Studies of hibernation and other adaptations to cold climates are clearly within our remit.
Instructions to Authors
The journal publishes original research reports, authoritative reviews, technical developments and commissioned book reviews of the effects produced by low temperatures on a wide variety of biophysical and biological processes, or studies involving low temperature techniques in the investigation of biological and ecological topics. The Journal will accept papers that reach a high standard of scientific endeavour as judged by international peer review.
Contributions are peer-reviewed by an international editorial board and referees, and normally published within eight weeks of receiving an acceptable manuscript. There are no page charges and we offer 50 free reprints to authors. Circulation is world-wide and the journal is abstracted by all major services. SCI Impact Factor (2001) of 1.135.
Manuscript Layout
- Papers will be edited directly from authors' electronic submissions, which therefore must conform to a standardised house-style, be accurate, clear and well laid out. For speed of publication, no proofs are printed, and final responsibility for accuracy rests with author(s) who may be contacted by the editor for clarification during sub-editing.
- Authors have access to a downloadable template guide authors on acceptable format for submission.
- Contributions should consist of an even number of pages.
- Electronic submission is invited. Manuscripts should be single-spaced with the text in Times (New) Roman 12 point font and printed on a laser printer within the area 160 x 250 mm with top and bottom margins of 25 mm, and left margin 30 mm and right margin 20 mm. Manuscripts which do not conform to this specification may be returned for resetting. (In the event of difficulty in conforming to the specification, contact the editorial office for help). Good quality photocopies may be accepted.
- The title page should have:
- The TITLE (in 14-point font) in BOLD CAPITALS CENTRED on the page with a 50 mm top margin.
- This should be followed by the Author(s)' names (regular font) separated from the title by a single line space, centred and indicating by an asterisk* the author to whom correspondence should be addressed. To assist information retrieval, titles should be specific and informative.
- The full correspondence address(es) should left-adjusted and separated by a single line space from the author names. Additionally, an email contact address may be given.
- An informative Abstract of about 150 words, with bold, initial capital centred heading
- Up to six Keywords: (heading left adjusted) continuing the line.
- The text should normally be divided into conventional Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and References. These headings should be BOLD, CAPITAL and CENTRED. Any Acknowledgements: (heading left adjusted) should appear after the text continuing the line.
- The text should be fully justified and continuous with no spaces between paragraphs, the first line of which should be indented approximately four spaces. Subheadings should be in lower case italic with initial capital.
- Tables should be included in the text. All tables (titles, footnotes, table entries) should be clearly distinguished from the main text by changing to a sans-serif font such as Arial 11- point (this is an example to allow 10% reduction by the printer without loss of legibility, and separated by at least one line from the text above and below.
- Figures, graphs, structural formulae etc., should be prepared by computer using a common spreadsheet or graphics package such as Microsoft Excel. They should be included directly in the text. Line drawings should be sufficiently bold to remain clear after 10% reduction. Figure legends (axis labels, keys) should be clearly distinguished from the main text by changing to a sans-serif font such as Arial 11-point allowing 10% reduction by the printer without loss of legibility.
- Photographs should be submitted on glossy paper, the same size as they are to appear. Authors should bear in mind that the page size before reduction is 160 X 250mm and the photograph should fit within that area allowing space for legend. If at all possible, photographs should be grouped together, bearing in mind the maximum possible size. Good contrast is imperative. Labelling should be black or white according to maximum contrast in Arial 11-point font, or similar. For micrographs, a scale bar indicating magnification should be shown on the photographic print.
- Units: SI units are preferred. Consistency is essential.
- References should be referred to in the text by number in parenthesis (5, 21) and should be arranged after the text in alphabetical order and numbered 1...n in the form indicated by the following examples (all authors should be listed):
- Reed BM (2001) Cryoletters 22, 97-104.
- Thurston LM, Watson PF & Holt WV (2003) Theriogenology 60, 101-113.
- Withers LA & Engelmann F (1997) in Agricultural Biotechnology, (ed) A Altman, Marcel Dekker Inc, New York, pp 57-88.
- The Journal maintains its high standard by means of expert refereeing by an international panel. After review, if considered worthy of publication the manuscript will normally be returned for revision as recommended by the referee(s).
- Revised manuscripts must be accompanied by an electronic version preferably in Word 97 or later.
