About the journal
Herpetological Monographs established in 1982 is published by The Herpetologists' League, Inc. It is devoted to articles that further the knowledge of the biology of anphibians and reptiles.
Instructions to Authors
Herpetologica and Herpetological Monographs publish original papers dealing largely or exclusively with the biology of amphibians and reptiles. Theoretical and primarily quantitative manuscripts are particularly encouraged, with manuscripts organized around concept-driven hypotheses. Authors submitting manuscripts to Herpetologica or Herpetological Monographs must be members of the Herpetologists' League before a paper may be accepted for publication, or they will be expected to pay full page charges. In the case of multi-authored papers, at least one co-author must be a member of the Herpetologists' League. If a society member, payment of printing costs is voluntary and is not a condition for publication. Authors having access to funds for payment of printing costs are encouraged to contribute to the publication fund, especially if their articles exceed 15 printed pages.
Authors are assessed costs for any special handling that may be required for their illustrations, such as
color photographs. Authors are accountable for the care and well being of the animals they study. Therefore, the
corresponding author should indicate in the cover letter during submission or subsequent e-mail that the authors have observed appropriate ethical and legal guidelines and regulations: (1) for subjects of field studies (e.g., ASIH/HL/SSAR Guidelines for Use of Live Amphibians and Reptiles in Field Research); (2) when obtaining subjects, especially endangered species (e.g., proper collecting permits or use of reputable dealers); and (3) while subjects are in captivity (e.g., protocol approved by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee). Submitted studies that obviously deviate from acceptable practices, when noted by the editorial staff, are subject to rejection.
Manuscripts should be sent, in triplicate (as well as an electronic disk that includes a text file in WordPerfect (*.wpd) or MS Word (*.doc), preferably for PC), to the Editor. Manuscripts will be assigned to appropriate Associate Editors, who in turn will seek two or three reviews of each submission. Manuscripts will be judged on the basis of their scientific merit. Authors should retain a paper copy and original artwork and photographs until the manuscript is accepted for publication; photocopies of both typescript and graphics are adequate for purposes of review. When the manuscript is accepted for publication, authors will be asked to provide original artwork and photographs, as well as an updated electronic disk that includes a text file in WordPerfect (*.wpd) or MS Word (*.doc), preferably for PC, and relevant graphic files that are supported by the publisher (e.g., *.tif, *.eps, *.pdf, but not *.jpg or *.ppt: see allenpress.com); no figures should be embedded in text files.
All manuscripts are to be in English, using U.S. spelling and grammar conventions. A second abstract, in any modern European language, may follow the Discussion. Use the active voice. Manuscripts should be typewritten on one side only of good quality bond of standard size (21.5 x 28 cm). The entire typescript should be double spaced, including literature citations, tables, and captions to figures, and should have 1-inch (2.4-cm) margins on all sides. Do not use the hyphenation function or the right justify function. For information on style of the manuscript, contributors should examine the most recent issue of Herpetologica or Herpetological Monographs and the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual, fifth edition.
Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order: title, author’s name, author’s address, abstract, key words, text, acknowledgments, literature cited, appendices, tables, legends to figures,figures. All pages, including tables and legends to figures, are labeled in the upper right-hand corner with the author’s name and page number.
Title.—The title should be brief and informative. It should appear centered on the top of page 1 with all letters capitalized,
Author’s name and address.—Following the title on page 1, the author’s name should be centered, with capital and small capital letters. The address follows and is centered and italicized. Multiple author names should be matched to addresses by superscript numbers. The e-mail address of the corresponding author and any address changes should also be noted by superscript numbers,
Abstract.—The abstract follows the author’s name and address and should begin on page 1. It should state the major points of the paper as clearly and concisely as possible without the need for reference to the text and without citation of references. The heading ABSTRACT should be indented, styled in capital and small capital letters, and followed by a colon,
Key words.—Key words separate the abstract from the introduction. Indent the term and italicize both the term and its colon. The key words, which identify the major aspects of the manuscript, should appear in alphabetical order. Only the initial word in each term is capitalized,
Text.—The text should begin after the key words. Most manuscripts are efficiently arranged in the order of introduction, methods, results, and discussion; however, some manuscripts profit by other arrangements of topics (e.g., by experimental conditions), so the author should use judgment in this matter. A recent issue of Herpetologica or Herpetological Monographs should be consulted for details of format. Italics should be used only for names of species and for appropriate leading terms (e.g., Key words) and headings (see below). Common foreign words are not italicized (e.g., et al., not et al.). The text ends with the acknowledgments, which should be concise,
Headings.—Three sets of headings are allowed. The MAJOR HEADING is centered with capital and small capital letters. A Subheading is centered and italicized, with each major word having an initial capital letter. A Sub-subheading is indented and italicized, with only the first letter of the first word capitalized; the sub subheading is followed by a period and a dash. In any italicized subheadings, a species epithet is typed in roman type,
References.—In the text, references to papers by one or more authors are cited with surnames; papers with more than two authors are referenced by the first author’s surname followed by “et al.” Strings of references in the text should be placed in alphabetical order, All references mentioned in the text must be listed in the Literature Cited, and vice versa. Check that dates and spelling match. Two or more references by the same author for the same year of publication are designated by lowercase, italicized letters,
The Literature Cited section follows the acknowledgments. Spell out the names of all journals and book publishers . References listed in the Literature Cited should be double spaced and in alphabetical order according to the author’s surname. When there are several papers by the same senior author with various co-authors (cited as “et al.” in the text), the papers should be listed in chronological order. A citation to a single author (“Smith, J. B. 2001") is listed before a citation to that author and a coauthor (“Smith, J. B. and Jones, M. T. 1999") and before any citation to the author with multiple coauthors (“Smith, J. B., M. T. Jones, and B. C. White, 2000"). A dash (3 em) is used for the author’s name if it is identical to the previous entry. References should be in the following format (note spacing between initials and the use of capital and small capital letters in the author’s name). For references that are in the course of publication, cite “In press” in place of the page numbers; the complete name of the journal should be given. Manuscripts that are neither “In press” nor published should not be cited in the text or the Literature Cited.
Appendices.—Detailed information not essential to the text (such as “Specimens Examined”) may be placed in appendices, which follow the Literature Cited and are headed APPENDIX I, II, etc.
Tables.—Each table should be typed, double spaced, on a separate sheet. Its appropriate position in the text should be marked in the left-hand margin (usually at the place where the table is first mentioned). The legend for a table should follow the table number and should be on the same page as the table. Within the table, only the initial letter of the first word is capitalized (e.g., “Grand average”). Ruled lines on tables should be avoided except to isolate the heading, legend, or the column labels, and where separate groups of columns require additional clarification. Footnotes (indented and indicated by symbols such as “*”) may follow a table when detailed information is needed (such as levels of statistical significance).
Footnotes.—Footnotes are discouraged except to clarify tables and to denote PRESENT ADDRESS of an author and CORRESPONDENCE as an e-mail address.
Numerals.—Numbers of 10 or larger should be typed as Arabic numerals except at the beginning of a sentence. Numbers one to nine should be spelled out unless they precede units of measurement (e.g., 4 mm), are designators (e.g., experiment 2), or are separated by a dash (e.g., 2–3 scutes). Only numbers with five or more digits are separated by a comma (e.g., 37,326, but not in 9427). The 24-hour clock is used to indicate times of day (e.g., 2200 h); dates are given by day, month, year (e.g., 13 January 1947). Decimals should not be naked (e.g., 0.5, not .5). In a series containing some numbers of 10 or more and some less than 10, use numerals for all (e.g., The 7 frogs, 9 salamanders, and 20 lizards were collected.).
