About the journal
Journal of Genetics covers all areas of genetics and evolution,
but a contribution must have one of these subjects as its focus and be of
interest to geneticists for acceptability. Both original research papers
and review articles on current topics are published. Commentaries and
essays of a more general nature on ideas and trends in genetics and
evolutionary biology, and historical developments and debates are also
considered (but usually solicited). Book reviews are usually solicited,
but suggestions of books for review are welcome. All contributions
undergo editorial and peer review. The format of the journal is 210 mm by
280 mm trim size, double column, with a normal print area of 175 mm by 235
mm.
Instructions to Authors
SUBMISSION. Submitted manuscripts must not have been published previously
nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Further, submission
to Journal of Genetics will be deemed to imply that the manuscript will
not be submitted elsewhere if accepted. The decision of the editor is
final in the matter of acceptability for publication. All submissions,
with a cover letter, should be mailed to The Editor, Journal of Genetics,
Indian Academy of Sciences, C. V. Raman Avenue, P.B. No. 8005,
Sadashivanagar, Bangalore 560 080, India. Three copies of text as well as
illustrations are required. One original set of line drawings and two
copies, but three original prints of any photographs, must be sent. The
corresponding author should give the complete mailing address, telephone
and fax numbers, and e-mail address. All portions of the submission
should be typed double-space on one side of white A4 paper with ample
margins on all sides. All sheets (title, abstract, main text and
acknowledgements, references, tables, figure legends in that order) should
be numbered serially and securely clipped together, along with
illustrations.
PERMISSIONS. Authors should submit written permission from appropriate
sources for material to be included that has been published elsewhere.
ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION. All submissions should initially be typescripts or
computer printouts. After a paper or other article is accepted, authors
are strongly encouraged to submit the final, accepted version in
electronic form in journal style, by email or on disk, in addition to a
typescript or printout. Text and tables are acceptable as ASCII, RTF, or
one of the popular word processor formats. TeX and LaTeX submissions are
welcome. Authors are requested to keep file size in mind; very large files
are discouraged, and figures should never be embedded along with text in
word processor files. Computer-prepared illustrations are also welcome,
in TIFF (at least 400 dpi) and EPS file formats; good prints must also
always be submitted. Files prepared for Windows and Unix/Linux platforms
can be used; we cannot handle MacOS files. Authors are requested to
compress files if sending them by email.
TITLE PAGE. The title must be brief but interesting and comprehensible to
a non-specialist reader, and contain words useful for indexing. Serial
titles should be avoided. Authors of book reviews are encouraged to
provide an attractive title for the review. A short running title (of not
more than 55 characters including spaces) suitable for page headings, and
up to six key words useful for inclusion in the annual subject index
should be provided. This page must also include the full names and
affiliations of all authors, and complete addresses. Authors are
encouraged to have their e-mail addresses printed.
ABSTRACT. The abstract, not exceeding 200 words, should convey the essence
of the contribution even to a nonspecialist reader. For an original
research paper, the abstract should include a few sentences of background
to the work, the rationale, and the main results and conclusions. First
person (singular if one author) and active voice are preferred.
Abbreviations are discouraged.
MAIN TEXT. This should be divided into sections with first-level headings
(centred to column) such as Introduction, Materials and methods, Results
and Discussion. These may also be descriptive headings, such as may be
appropriate, for example, for review articles. There may be subsections
with short, descriptive headings. Third-level headings (flush left, and
text runs on after a colon) are appropriate and preferred for subsections
in Materials and methods. Major subsections in other sections may be
placed under second-level headings (flush left, free-standing); these may
contain further subsections under third-level headings; or minor
subsections with third-level headings may come directly under sections.
Sections and subsections are not numbered. Footnotes should be avoided.
Where appropriate, first person and active voice are preferred. Spelling
should conform to the preferred spelling of the latest edition of the
Concise Oxford Dictionary.
CONVENTIONS. Authors should follow internationally accepted conventions
in regard to units, symbols and abbreviations. SI units of measurement
and standard abbreviations only should be used. Binomial names of
organisms are italicized. Special care must be taken in regard to
biochemical and genetic nomenclature. Genotype names and symbols are
always italicized, but phenotype, including name or symbol of the protein
product of a gene where this is well characterized, is roman. Authors are
urged to take great care in distinguishing between genotype and phenotype
clearly in all sections of the manuscript, including tables and
illustrations. In typescripts authors should differentiate between and
label characters and symbols that look similar.
STATISTICS. Guidelines on use and presentation of statistics have been
published by Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Series B:
Biological Sciences, and are usually printed in the last issue of every
volume of that journal. Journal of Genetics encourages authors to consult
those guidelines.
TABLES. All tables should be numbered, serially in arabic numerals in
order of appearance. Tables should be as self-contained as possible, with
a descriptive but brief title. Details not mentioned in text and
explanations may be given below the table as footnotes. Row and column
headings should be in lower case, except for the first letter of heading
word or phrase, first letter of proper names, or where capitals are
essential. Tables should be arranged as far as possible to conform to
printed column or page size.
ILLUSTRATIONS. All figures should be numbered, serially in arabic
numerals in order of appearance. Parts of multipart figures, where these
are absolutely necessary, should be labelled (a), (b), (c), etc. (lower
case preferred). Authors should take responsibility for neat and correct
arrangement of multipart figures. Author's name, number of figure, and an
indication of 'up' where this may not be obvious should be written lightly
on the back of each figure. Figure legends should be typed on a separate
sheet or sheets which should be numbered as part of the manuscript (at the
end). Line drawings should be sharp original drawings, not photographic
reproductions, and include all lettering that is necessary. Lettering
should be in lower case, except for the first letter of label word or phrase,
first letter of a proper name, or where capitals are essential. The font
should preferably be a sans-serif type, and letter size after reduction
should be as close to 8 or 9 point type as possible. Smaller rather than
larger lettering is preferred always. Because drawings are printed via
photographic process, all symbol, nomenclature, genotype/phenotype and
other conventions apply to figure lettering. Submitted drawings will
ideally be about 50 to 100% larger than the expected final print size.
Authors should try as far as possible to compose figures to fit one-column
or two-column width in print. Individual parts in multipart groupings
should be as close to each other as possible, with the parts labelled.
Photographs should be sharp, high-contrast, glossy prints, and any
labelling (such as arrows or letter symbols) should be clear and applied
with a fine pen. Photomicrographs must have a scale bar applied directly
on the print, and the exact length indicated above the bar or stated in
the legend. Prints that will be grouped as a single figure should be
trimmed and mounted carefully and neatly on flexible card with only thin
space between individual prints. Colour photographs can be accepted only
when absolutely necessary. DNA, RNA and protein sequences will be treated
as figures, and the instructions for line drawings above apply.
REFERENCES. Citations in the text should be by name and year, not number,
in chronological order and then alphabetically for the same year, and
enclosed in parentheses. When there are two authors, the citation should
include both names. When there are three or more authors, the citation
should have only the first author and 'et al.' ('et al.' in italic). Two
or more citations are separated by a semicolon. References should be
listed at the end in alphabetical order of author. When several
references have the same author or first author, single-author works are
listed first chronologically, then two-author works in alphabetical order
of second author and then chronologically, and multiauthor works third but
chronologically. Letter labels should be used (e.g. 1997a, 1997b) in case
of works with the same author/authors and of the same year. When there
are many more than six authors, it is preferable to name only the first
six and use 'et al.'. Unpublished observations and personal
communications should not be included in the list of references, but
should be cited within parentheses in the appropriate place in the text
with the full names of the sources. The list of references may include
papers accepted but not yet published; such references should include the
journal name and 'in press' in parentheses at the end. Information from
material submitted for publication but not yet accepted should be cited
only in the text as 'unpublished observations' with full names; these
should not be included in the list of references. Abstracts should not be
used as references. Authors should consult the current or a recent issue
of the journal for style, but a few examples are given below. Journal name
abbreviations and book titles are in italic, volume number is in bold.
Please give a space between initials in author names.
