About the journal

 

The journal of the American Microscopical Society ranks among the oldest continuously published journals in the United States, having been in existence since 1880. For 100 years (1895-1995) the title was Transactions of the American Microscopical Society; it is now published under the title Invertebrate Biology to reflect a new emphasis on biology of invertebrate animals in all of its aspects, not only microscopy of invertebrates but research involving the fields of cell and molecular biology, ecology, physiology, genetics, systematics, behavior, and biogeography.

Scope: all aspects of invertebrate biology; all groups, all stages, all sizes, including protists and all invertebrate metazoans.

 

 Goals: to promote high-quality research and teaching about invertebrates; to facilitate communication of new knowledge and ideas among investigators working with invertebrates

 


Instructions to Authors

 

Invertebrate Biology (IB) continues Transactions of the American Microscopical Society (TAMS). While embracing the Society's goal of promoting microscopy, IB does not require that contributors use microscopical methods, but invites papers on all aspects of the biology of invertebrates--protozoan and metazoan, aquatic and terrestrial, free-living and symbiotic. Manuscripts submitted should present original research focused on understanding invertebrate organisms. IB will also publish occasional review articles; contact the editor before submitting. All contributions undergo a thorough process of peer-review.

Manuscript format

Manuscripts must be in English with metric units throughout; if measurements were made using non-metric units, this should be noted in Methods. All parts of the manuscript must be typed, double-spaced, with margins at least 2.5 cm. Number all pages. Submit original plus 2 copies to facilitate reviewing and editing. For matters of style not covered here, refer to recent issues of IB or the CBE Style Manual.

Page 1: Cover page including title of the paper; name(s) and address(es) of author(s); number of figures and tables. Suggest up to 5 key words not in the title, and a short running title of no more than 50 characters. Indicate to which author correspondence and proofs should be sent; to speed communications, include phone and fax numbers and e-mail address for this person.

Page 2: Concise abstract summarizing the main findings, conclusions, and their significance.

Page 3 and following pages: The introduction, usually a brief account of background and goals, is not titled. Subsequent sections bear titles, usually Methods, Results, Discussion, and References, but these may vary to suit the content. Subsections may be subtitled. Place acknowledgments between Discussion and References.

Figure legends, tables, and footnotes (in that order) should follow the last page of references.

Citations and References

Complete data for all published works and theses cited, and only those cited, must be listed in References, in alphabetical order; include papers accepted for publication (Baker, in press), but not those merely submitted or in preparation. In the text, cite works in chronological order: (Smith & Jones 1991; Cook et al. 1992; Anderson 1993a,b). Cite unpublished data and manuscripts from one of the authors (Cox, unpubl. data) or other individuals (D. E. Fox, pers. comm.) with no entry in References. Consult BIOSIS for journal-title abbreviations. Examples of Reference style:

Pesch GG, Mueller C, & Pesch CE 1988. Chromosomes of the marine worm Nephtys incisa (Annelida: Polychaeta). Ophelia 28(2): 157-167.

Fish AB & Cook CD 1992. Mussels and other Edible Bivalves. Roe Publ., New York. 200 pp.

Smith XY 1993. Hydroid development. In: Development of Marine Invertebrates, vol. 2. Jones MN, ed., pp. 123-199. Doe Press, New York.

Illustrations and data

Whenever practical, present data in graphs rather than tables. In designing tables, figures, and multiple-figure plates, keep in mind the final page size and proportions: ~175 mm wide by ~230 mm high. Figures may occupy one column, 2 columns, or an intermediate width (120 mm). Details of all figures (graphs, line drawings, halftones) must be large enough to remain clear after reduction; type should be 1.5 mm high after reduction.

Figures for review must be fully labeled hard copies adequate for reviewers to judge their quality (no xeroxed copies of photographs). Include a scale bar and its value in each figure (value may be stated in the legend); do not use magnification. Authors are encouraged to submit extra, unlabeled photographs or drawings to be considered for the cover. For final publication, photographic prints must be mounted, leaving no space between multiple prints on a plate. Protect each figure with a tissue cover sheet, and keep all materials within the size of the manuscript sheets, for safe and easy mailing. To avoid extra mailing in case of changes, retain original plates until after review and acceptance. Final figures may also be submitted as electronic files; see the Allen Press web page (http://www.allenpress.com) for compatible programs.

Scientific names

For all species studied, the complete scientific name with taxonomic author and date (e.g., Ostrea edulis Linnaeus 1758) should be given either at the first mention in the text of the paper or in the Methods, but not in the title or abstract. Thereafter, use the full binomial (Ostrea edulis ) at the first mention in each section of the paper, and then abbreviate (O. edulis , not Ostrea unless referring to the genus). The Latin name of any taxon is capitalized and treated as a singular noun, not a plural or an adjective. Strictly, a taxon should not be confused with its members (the phylum Cnidaria does not bear nematocysts, but cnidarians do).

Submitting a diskette

To facilitate speed and accuracy of publication, authors are encouraged to supply a diskette after acceptance of the manuscript. Authors should retain a computer file that corresponds exactlv to the hard-copy manuscript. Use a single standard font, a single space between sentences, and a single tab to indent each paragraph; avoid justifying, hyphenating, etc. Specialized word-processing commands (except boldface, italics, superscript, subscript) will have to be stripped from the final file. Use italics for scientific names and other foreign words, underscoring for emphasis. Complete instructions for diskettes will be sent with notification of acceptance. Following journal style in the original manuscript will make this stage easier.

Proofs, reprints, charges

Proofs and an order blank for reprints are sent directly to the author from Allen Press. Alterations initiated in proof, special handling of figures, etc. are billed to the author.

Page charges are US$60 per printed page. For members of the American Microscopical Society, the first 10 printed pages of any article are free of page charges. Members without funds may apply for a Spencer-Tolles or Darbaker grant to cover charges for additional pages.

Authors who are not AMS members may apply for membership when submitting a manuscript; make check(s) or International Money Order(s) payable to American Microscopical Society or give credit card type (Visa or Master Card only), number, and expiration date. AMS membership for individuals is US$36 per year (students, US$18) and includes full subscription (4 issues) and newsletter. Library subscriptions are US$75 per year (USA, Canada, Mexico) or US$100 per year (all other countries).

Applications for individual
memberships or library subscriptions may also be sent directly to: American Microscopical Society, PO Box 1897, Lawrence, KS 66044-8897, USA
