About the journal
|
Aims and Scope. Folia Parasitologica publishes original research papers, research notes and review articles from all branches of parasitology, including morphology, taxonomy, biology, biochemistry, physiology, immunology and molecular biology of parasites, and host-parasite relationships. Manuscripts of limited regional importance or of applied focus without sufficient biological relevance are not considered. The journal also publishes book reviews, news and advertisements.
History and Publisher. The journal was founded in 1953 as a yearbook 揅zechoslovak Parasitology?and since 1966 has appeared as Folia Parasitologica in four issues per year, being edited in the Institute of Parasitology, Academy of Sciences (formerly of Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic). Since 1992 the Institute of Parasitology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, 萫sk?Bud靔ovice has also been the Publisher.
Editorial Policy. The Editor-in-Chief is aided by three Assistant Editors, all of the Institute of Parasitology, and an international Board of Editorial Advisors consisting of 39 scientists of a high scientific credit. Each manuscript is rigorously reviewed by at least two referees, ensuring the high scientific quality of accepted papers. The journal has a wide international authorship: 76% of senior authors of the papers published in Volume 49 (2002) were from abroad and 24% from the Czech Republic.
Printing Quality. Folia Parasitologica is printed on high-quality glossy paper of A4 size (200 x 290 mm) and is known for an excellent reproduction of both the line drawings (reproduced photographically) and B&W or colour photographs. Fifty reprints are provided free of charge.
Electronic Reprints. Authors receive a PDF file (揺lectronic reprint? of their article by e-mail at the date of publication of the printed version.
Articles On-line. Starting with Volume 50 (2003), full text of articles (PDF) can be downloaded free-of-charge from Folia Parasitologica website after 6 months past the date of publication of the printed version. This service is under development: back volumes will gradually also become available.

Instructions to Authors
Policy. FOLIA PARASITOLOGICA, issued quarterly, publishes contributions from all branches of parasitology: original full papers (up to 15 printed pages including illustrations; 1 printed page is approximately 2.5 pages of manuscript), research notes (up to 2 printed pages) and reviews (up to 18 printed pages) as well as news, book reviews, and advertisements. Manuscripts of limited regional importance or applied focus without sufficient biological relevance will be rejected. Research articles, research notes and reviews will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. The editor reserves the right to return manuscripts not complying with the following instructions.
Submission. Manuscripts should be sent to: Folia Parasitologica, Institute of Parasitology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Brani歰vsk?31, 370 05 萫sk?Bud靔ovice, Czech Republic. Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate including any illustrations. Originals of illustrations plus two copies (size A4) of comparable quality (not photocopies of photographs or other halftones) are required. Since most manuscripts will have to be revised after review, a computer disk need not be sent when manuscript is first submitted. Electronic submission by e-mail is welcome but sending originals/quality copies by conventional post may be necessary for the assessment of photographs. Authors are welcome to enclose lists of competent reviewers and/or those who might constitute a conflict of interest. Manuscripts containing description of new species should be accompanied with at least one paratype of each new taxon for scrutiny by reviewers and for a later deposition in the collection of the Institute of Parasitology. Typescripts, illustrations and parasite specimens will be returned to authors of rejected manuscripts; they will not be returned to authors of published manuscripts, unless specifically requested at the time of submission.
Language. Manuscripts should be written in simple and concise scientific English, using British spelling. Authors whose mother tongue is not English are strongly urged to have their manuscripts checked and improved linguistically by a native speaker (preferably, a life scientist) before submission. Submissions written in poor English will be returned.
Typing. The text should be typed with double spacing (i.e., not more than 30 lines per page) throughout including tables, references and figure legends, on good quality paper (size 210 ? 297 mm) and with wide (at least 2.5 cm) margins on both sides. All pages should be numbered.
Organisation. The title page should contain: title of paper, full first names and surnames of authors, affiliation with full institutional addresses of all authors, running head, 4? key words, and one address for correspondence including phone number, fax number and e-mail address. The main sections of full papers should be Abstract, Introduction (without heading), Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgement (if applicable), and References. The title page of research notes should be identical to that of full papers (except that running head and key words should be omitted), the body, however, should not be subdivided into headed sections except for Abstract and References.
Title. If possible, specific designation of the parasite(s) studied is expected to appear in the title, followed by superior taxa (such as order and family) in parentheses. Authors of taxa should not be mentioned in title unless in special cases (e.g., taxonomic revisions and redescriptions). Indication of superior taxa may not be necessary for widely used models and papers of experimental nature. A short version of title should be suggested for use as a running head.
Names. Scientific names of taxa up to the generic level should be italicised throughout. Scientific names of parasites and hosts studied should be given with authorities (and, for parasites, a date) when first mentioned in the Abstract and again, in the following text or tabled lists. Otherwise, citing these authorities is to be avoided or used sparingly. Author and date should also be given for names of those parasites that are mentioned for taxonomic comparison. References to authorities for names should not be included in the References section. The following style should only be used for names: Fasciola hepatica (Linnaeus, 1758), Allocreadium patagonicum Shimazu, Urawa et Coria, 2000. (All authors are named, 揺t?is used to connect authors?names, and author抯 name and date are separated by commas).
Abstract. Full papers and reviews should have an abstract not exceeding 250 words, without paragraphs. It should be a factual summarisation of the main results and conclusions so that it can be published in abstracting journals without change. Abstracts of research notes should not exceed 150 words.
Taxonomic descriptions. In descriptions, the following order is preferred: species name, author with date (or the indication 搒p. n.?, reference to figures, (synonymy), description in telegraphic style (i.e., omitting articles and as many verbs as can be elided without loss of meaning), type host, other hosts, site, (prevalence), type locality, other localities, specimens deposited (with museum accession numbers), etymology, and remarks (differential diagnosis).
Citations. For papers by two authors, cited names should be connected with 揳nd? e.g., Koskivaara and Valtonen (1992). For papers by more than two authors, the first author should be cited with 揺t al.? e.g., Iglesias et al. (1997). Names and dates should not be separated by commas, e.g., (Koskivaara and Valtonen 1992); commas, not semicolons, should separate citations in parentheses, e.g., (Iglesias et al. 1997a, b, Koskivaara and Valtonen 1992).
References to illustrations and tables. Examples: Fig. 1. Figs. 1, 2. Figs. 1?. Table 1.
List of references. Entries should be listed alphabetically by names of all authors (written in capital letters) and subordinately, with respect to the year of publication. Papers by identical authors, published in the same year, should be distinguished by lower-case letters placed after the year (identically in text and References). Title of journal article should be cited in full, followed by abbreviated name of journal as listed in Serial Sources for the BIOSIS Data Base (BioSciences Information Service, Philadelphia), volume and pagination. Issue number should be given (after volume, in parentheses) only if volume is not continuously paginated. Title and pagination are required for chapters in monographs. Publisher, place and number of pages are required for monographs. Titles in languages with non-Latin alphabet should be translated into English and their original language stated in parentheses. Titles whose translation into English is not that given by the original author(s) should be in square brackets. Examples:
(i) Journal article. FISHER S.A., KELSO W.E. 1990: Parasite fauna development in juvenile bluegills and large mouth bass. Trans. Am. Fish. Soc. 119: 844?77. (ii) Chapter in monograph. TAVERNE J. 1993: Immunity to protozoa and worms. In: J. Roitt, J. Brostoff and D. Male (Eds.), Immunology. Third Edition. Mosby-Year Book Europe Ltd., London, pp. 16.1?6.22. (iii) Monograph. LEVINE N.D. 1988: The Protozoan Phylum Apicomplexa. Vol. I. CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, Florida, 203 pp. (iv) DUBININA M.N. 1971: [Cestodes from fishes of the Amur basin.] Parazitol. Sb. 25: 77?19. (In Russian.)
Listing theses (same style as for monographs) is acceptable but other unpublished data, personal communications and papers 搃n preparation?or 搒ubmitted?should not be listed in references. Work 搃n press?may be listed only if it has been accepted for publication. Unpublished data may be incorporated in text with affiliation in abbreviated form given for their authors if different from authors of manuscript. Example: (Ribeiro J.M.C., N.I.H., Bethesda, USA; pers. comm.).
Tables. Each table should start on a separate page. All tables must have descriptive captions and should be understandable without reference to text. Parasite or host names should be spelled out completely when first mentioned in each caption.
Illustrations All illustrations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and arranged so as to neatly fit, without change or after reduction, into one (80 mm) or two columns (165 mm). The maximum printing area is 165 ? 235 mm, but authors are asked to account for the length of legends.
Line drawings. Line drawings should be in black waterproof ink on good quality white paper. When possible, individual drawings should be grouped together in a single block (composite figure) of rectangular shape, using space efficiently. The elements of composite figure can be identified with consecutive Arabic numerals or with letters. Pre-printed labels from press-on sets should only be used for labelling. A scale bar is required for each figure.
Graphs. Two-dimensional B&W graphics should be used when possible. Most graphs will be printed across one column. Lettering should be of such size that the height of characters, after reduction, will be at least 2.5 and 1.25 mm (upper and lower case, respectively). The same font style and lettering size should be used for all graphs.
Photographs. It is optimal to submit photographs in the same size as they will appear in the journal. Space should be used efficiently: record of technical parameters should be cut off from electron micrographs, and all prints should be trimmed to contain only relevant information. Areas of major interest (as well as labelling), however, should not be too close to the edges of prints. Individual prints, selected so that their contrast and density match, should be mounted in composite plates. In plates, prints should be precisely trimmed as regular rectangles or otherwise, and abutted tightly without space or masking between. If computer-finished plates are submitted, figures should be separated by 1-mm wide white rules. Magnification should be indicated by scale bars. All labels (figure identification, symbols, letters and scale bars) should be from press-on sets (e.g., Letraset) if not inserted electronically. Figure identification is to be placed preferably in the lower left corner. If quality labels are unavailable to authors, substandard substitutes should be avoided: the printer can insert figure identification and scale bars; insertion of a limited number of other labels could also be arranged with the editor. All illustrations should be covered by an overlay for protection. Written on the back should be name of author(s), figure number and an indication of the top edge.
Legends. Legends for figures should by typed on separate pages, not on the same pages as figures. All abbreviations and symbols appearing in figures should be explained. For composite figures, a summary statement should precede specific explanation of each figure. Parasite or host names should be spelled out completely when first mentioned in each legend.
Revised manuscripts. A cover letter should be included with the revised version to describe how the manuscript has been revised. A point-by-point statement of what has been revised and/or a rebuttal of that criticism not addressed in the revised manuscript should be provided. All suggestions of the reviewers and the editor must be addressed individually. Electronic copies. Authors will be asked to send the text of revised manuscripts on an IBM-compatible disc or by e-mail; if hard copies of graphics or photographs are offprints from electronic files, the latter are welcome on an IBM-compatible disc for direct reproduction.
Proofs. Authors will receive one copy of page proofs.
Page charges and reprints. There is no page charge for text, line drawings and B&W graphics. The first 4 pages of B&W photographs or other halftones are without charge. Colour illustrations can be accepted only if authors defray the cost. Fifty reprints of full papers, reviews and research notes are provided free of charge. Additional reprints may be ordered. Prices will be given on request. The corresponding authors will receive a PDF file (揺lectronic reprint? of their articles by e-mail at the date of publication of the printed version. Full text (PDF) of all articles can be downloaded free-of-charge from Folia Parasitologica website after 6 months past the date of publication of the printed version.
