About the journal
|
Since its foundation in 1830, the traditional aims of the Journal of Zoology have been to publish research on taxonomy and on descriptions of new species of animals. However, with the proliferation of specialist journals, which cater for these important topics, the Editors have redirected the focus of the Journal to publish hypothesis-driven research that will be of greater interest to the general reader in zoology. Apart from the exclusion of papers of only specialist interest, the Journal will continue to publish original research and reviews within the whole field of zoology, and it will continue to provide information on the latest trends and developments in this ever-expanding subject. |

Instructions to Authors
Photographs
Photographs should be continuous tone, of high quality, and with strong contrast. Only essential features should be shown. A photograph, or group of them, should be planned to fit into the area of either one or two columns of text with no further reduction. Electron micrographs or photomicrographs should include a scale bar directly on the print. The best results will be obtained if the authors match the contrast and density of all figures arranged as a single plate. Hard-copy versions must be printed on glossy paper and be trimmed and mounted on thin flexible white bristol board with no space between those arranged in groups.
Colour illustrations
Colour illustrations will be at the author’s expense. Further details on prices are available from Cecily Pearson, Managing Editor of the Journal (613-993-9099; fax: 613-952-7656; e-mail: cecily.pearson@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
Preparation of electronic graphic files
The preferred graphic application of NRC Research Press is CorelDraw! For other applications that can be used, see the electronic graphics list at pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/journals/graphics.
PC or Macintosh versions of True Type or Type 1 fonts should be used. Do not use bitmap or nonstandard fonts.
All figures should be submitted at the desired published size. For figures with several parts (e.g., a, b, c, d, etc.) created using the same software application, assemble them into one file rather than sending several files.
Remember that the more complex your artwork becomes, the greater the possibility for problems at output time. Avoid complicated textures and shadings, especially in vector illustration programs; this increases the chance for a poor-quality final product.
Bitmap (raster) files are image files produced using a grid format in which each square (or pixel) is set to one level of black, colour, or grey. A bitmap (rasterized) file is broken down into the number of pixels or picture elements per inch (ppi). Pixels per inch is sometimes referred to as dots per inch (dpi). The higher the resolution of an image, the larger the number of pixels contained within the rectangular grid. The proper resolution should be used when submitting bitmap artwork. The minimum requirements for resolution are 600 dpi for line art, 1200 dpi for finelines (line art with fine lines or shading), 300 dpi for halftones and colour, and 600 dpi for combinations (halftones with lettering outside the photo area).
All colour files submitted must be as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). These colours are used in full-colour commercial printing. RGB graphics (red, green, and blue; colours specifically used to produce an image on a monitor) will not print correctly.
Vector files are image files produced using elements such as lines and shapes. Typically these files are used for line drawings.
Bitmaps can be imported into vector/draw applications only for the purpose of adding and overlaying information, lines, text, etc. Bitmaps should not be resized, cropped, rotated, or otherwise manipulated after importing.
Multimedia formats — Audio and video clips in the major multimedia formats are now accepted for NRC Research Press journals published in full-text HTML. For accepted formats, see the Electronic graphic list published on the Journal Web site.
Manuscript guidelines
Style guides
As a general guide for biological terms, The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers: Scientific Style and Format (7th ed., 2006) published by the Council of Biology Editors, Reston, VA 20190, USA, is recommended.
Spelling
Spelling should follow Webster’s Third New International Dictionary or the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors are responsible for consistency in spelling.
Nomenclature
Authors are required to follow the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (4th ed., 1999), published by The International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature, c/o The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK. Specifically, authors should provide the authority name(s) and date for all genus- and species-level taxa at the first mention within the Abstract and within the text (but not in the title). In subsequent mentions of the same species, the genus is abbreviated to the first letter and no author name(s) or date is listed (e.g., S. plicata). Genera are always written in full at the beginning of a sentence. In the case of changed combinations, the authorship and date should be set in parentheses. For example, Ascidia plicata Lesueur, 1823 is cited as Styela plicata (Lesueur, 1823) when transferred to the genus Styela.
Biochemical nomenclature should follow the rules recommended by the International Union of Biochemistry (IUB) Committee of Editors of Biochemical Journals with support of IUPAC. As a general guide for biological terms, The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers: Scientific Style Format (7th ed., 2006), published by the Council of Biology Editors, Reston, VA 20190, USA, is recommended. For enzyme nomenclature, Enzyme Nomenclature (1992): Recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Academic Press, San Diego, Calif.) should be followed.
Abbreviations and acronyms
Abbreviations and acronyms that are standard in the discipline need not be defined. All others must be defined when they are first mentioned in the text and those with more than one meaning should be avoided.
Units of measurement
SI units (Système international d’unités) should be used or SI equivalents should be given. This system is explained and other useful information is given in the Metric Practice Guide (2000) published by CSA International (5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, ON M9W 1R3, Canada). For practical reasons, some exceptions to SI units are allowed.
Statistical analyses
The assumptions and (or) the model underlying any statistical analysis should be clearly stated. Symbols such as * and **, denoting levels of significance, should not be used except in conjunction with the actual values of the associated test statistic; actual p values are preferred.
Writing numbers
In writing long numbers the digits should be separated into groups of three, counted from the decimal marker to the left and right. The separator should be a space and not a comma, period, or any other mark, for example, 25 562 987 and not 25,562,987. In English text, the decimal marker should be a point, for example, 0.1 mL and not 0,1 mL. The decimal point in all numbers between 1 and –1, except 0, must be preceded by a 0. The sign × should be used to indicate multiplication, e.g., 3 × 106 and not 3·106.
