About the journal
Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of the nutritional sciences in the broadest sense. It emphasizes foods and food systems and their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs, but it also examines nonfood factors that contribute to the spectrum of nutritional conditions, such as obesity and leanness, malnutrition vitamin requirements and mineral needs. The content scope is thus wide; articles may consider dietary and nutritional status issues arising from cultural prohibitions, traditional usages, and problems of marketing and transportation. Food nutrients and toxicants, additives and food quality are also topics considered, as are ethnobotany, agriculture and development.
Instructions to Authors
Papers should be typed on good quality paper with double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins, using one side only, and submitted in triplicate to the editor:
Peter L. Pellett Dept. of Food Science and Nutrition College of Food and Natural Resources University of Massachusetts at Amherst Amherst, Massachusetts 01003 USA
One copy of the typescript must be the original "top" copy; photocopies or clear carbon copies are acceptable for the others. Pages of each copy must be sequentially numbered. Use underlines only for emphasis and where italics are intended. Papers are accepted only in English, and the maximum preferred length is 7,500 words. Manuscripts do not receive further copyediting by the publisher or typesetter; authors should ensure before submission that papers are correct m style and language.
For anonymity in the review process, names, affiliations for all authors and a complete mailing address for the lead author should appear on a separate title page. This page should also note to which author all reader correspondence should be addressed. Indicate for the typesetter which author will check proofs. Each paper requires an abstract of 150 words or less and a set of no more than ten index terms (key words) suitable for use in a computer database. As a group, these should characterize the paper. Authors should also provide an abbreviation of the paper's title (no more than 35 characters) for use as a running head. Include acknowledgements under a separate head at the end of the paper but before the reference list.
The publisher encourages authors to submit accepted manuscripts on computer disks. Word Perfect 5.1 is the preferred software, but other software and formats are acceptable, as are all sized disks. Authors must enclose a printed copy of the manuscript (in triplicate) along with the disk. All disks should be marked with the name of the software package that was used and the file name. Disks will be returned to the author with page proofs.
Submission of a manuscript is taken to imply that the paper represents original work not previously published, is not being considered clsewhere for publication, and if accepted for publication, will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the publisher. It is also assumed that the author has obtained all neccessary permissions to include in the paper items such as quotations, reprinted figures, results of government-sponsored research, etc. It is a condition of acceptance for publication that the publisher acquires copyright of the paper throughout the world.
FIGURES
All figures should bc numbered with consecutive Roman numbers, have descriptive captions, and be mentioned in the text. Keep figures separate from the text, but indicate an approximate position for each in the margin. A list of figure captions, with relevant figure numbers, should be typed on a separate sheet and included with the manuscript. Capitalize only the first letter of the first word in figure captions.
All figures must be of high enough standard for direct reproduction. Line drawings should be prepared in black (India) ink on white (or tracing) paper, with all lettering and symbols included. Alternatively, good sharp photoprints (or 'glossies') arc acceptable. Photographs must be good glossy original prints of maximum contrast. Using pencils, clearly label each figure with the author's name and figure number: indicate top where this is not obvious. Redrawing or retouching of unusable figures will be charged to authors. Figures should be submitted as close to final size as possible to minimize reduction; figures will be sized to a maximum of 12.5 cm wide or less, according to subject matter. Artwork should be labeled so that after any reduction, lettering does not exceed 4 mm in height.
COLOR PLATES
Whenever the use of color is an integral part of the research or where the work is generated in color, the journal will publish the color illustrations without charge to the authors. Reprints in color will carry a surcharge. Please write to the Editor for details.
MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSIONS
Whenever possible, mathematical expressions should be typewritten, with subscripts and superscripts clearly shown. It is helpful to identify unusual or ambiguous symbols in the margin when they first occur. To simplify typesetting, please use the 'exp' form of complex exponential functions, fractional exponents instead of root signs, and the solidus (/) to simplify fractions--e.g. exp x 1/2. Equations must be displayed exactly as they should appear in print. Underline mathematical symbols to indicate italics; bold symbols should be underlined with a wavy line.
TABLES
Tables should be typed on separate sheets, numbered consecutively with arabic numerals, and have a short descriptive caption at the top. Capitalize the first letter of the first word in the table captions. Tables may be placed in the typescript immediately following the page of text with which they should be printed, or they may be grouped separately. In the latter case, indicate in the text where the tables are to appear. Avoid the use of vertical rules. Each table should be mentioned in the text. Extensive and/or complex tables will be reproduced as illustrations. Therefore, they should be typed carefully and in the exact format desired. Computer printouts will normally be reproduced as illustrations.
REFERENCES
References are indicated in the text by Harvard (name and date) system: Either 'Recent work (Smith, 1975) . . .' or 'Recently Smith (1975) has found . . .' The full list of references should be collected at the end of the paper in alphabetical order, and set out in the manner described and illustrated below. Note that in all cases, the initials of the first author (only) are placed after the name.
Papers: Author's name, year (in parentheses), period. Paper title (no quotation marks), period. Name of journal (underlined), volume number (underlined in a wavy line), inclusive page numbers.
Books: Author's name, year (in parentheses), period. Book title (underlined), period. Publisher, location, period. Chapter or page numbers.
Edited collections: Author's name, year (in parentheses), period. Paper title (no quotation marks), period. 'In' followed by editor's name (Ed.), book title (underlined), period. Publisher, location, period. Volume number, chapter number, inclusive page numbers. Examples:
Annegers, J.F. (1974). Protein quality of West African foods. Ecology of Food Nutr., 3, 125130.
Mohsenin, N.N. (1970). Physical Properties of Plant and Animal Materials. Gordon and Breach, New York, Chapter 7, pp. 309382.
Ruffner, J.D., and W.W. Steiner, (1973). Evaluations of plants for use in critical sites. In R.J. Hutnik and G. (Eds.), Ecology and Reclamation of Devastated Land. Gordon and Breach, New York, Vol. 2, chapter v-l, pp. 312.
TEXT HEADINGS
Type first-level headings in capital letters over to the left; begin the text on the following line. Second-level headings should be typed in lower case letters but with all main words capitalized; underline the heading and start the text on the next line. For third-level headings, only the first letter should be a capital; underline, then run on the text after three spaces.
PROOFS
Authors will receive page proofs by airmail. Corrected proofs must be returned to the printer within 48 hours. Authors' alterations in excess of 10% of the original composition cost will be charged to authors. There are no publication page charges to individuals or institutions.
REPRINTS
The publisher will supply 25 free reprints of each paper to the first named author. Further reprints may be ordered by completing the appropriate form sent with proofs. Free reprints are sent by surface mail, but ordered reprints by air mail. The two sets will not therefore normally arrive together.
BOOK REVIEWS
Publishers are invited to submit books for review in Ecology of Food and Nutrition. These should be sent to the appropriate editor (see Submissions).
