About the journal
Mycopathologia
|
Mycopathologia is an international journal devoted to the study of the role of fungi in disease and biodeterioration. As such, the journal covers a range of topics that is unique in breadth and depth, including original articles and critical reviews in the fields of medical and veterinary mycology, plant mycology (crop protection), mycotoxicosis, mycetism, entomopathogenic fungi, environmental aeromycology, and applied industrial mycology. The journal also contains selected papers on systematics, taxonomy and the basic as well as molecular biology of fungi involved in any of the above fields. |
 |
In addition to full-length reports of original research, Mycopathologia publishes short communications and interesting case reports, together with literature reviews. Letters to the editor on topics of interest to mycologists are also published. These may include debates, disagreements, or further commentary on published works or opinions expressed in this or other publications. Molecular mycology: Current mycological studies at the forefront of technology focus on the molecular level of life. These studies involve the diagnosis, treatment, immunology, ecology and epidemiology of mycotic diseases. The development of molecular biology has resulted in unprecedented knowledge of biological mechanisms, new scientific techniques, new tools, and a new breed of mycologists. Therefore a proper technical evaluation of these papers requires an editor and referees with specific expertise in this area. To achieve this competent peer review, a new section, molecular mycology has been created for the journal. We are fortunate to have Joseph Heitman, MD, PhD of Duke University Medical Center as the coordinating editor for this section. If you prefer your manuscript to be considered for this section of the journal submit your manuscript to the editorial office with a request to forward it to the Coordinating editor for molecular mycology.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission
Kluwer Academic Publishers request the submission of manuscripts and figures in electronic form in addition to a hardcopy printout. The preferred storage medium for your electronic manuscript is a 3 1/2 inch diskette. Please label your diskette properly, giving exact details on the name(s) of the file(s), the operating system and software used. Always save your electronic manuscript in the word processor format that you use; conversions to other formats and versions tend to be imperfect. In general, use as few formatting codes as possible. For safety‘s sake, you should always retain a backup copy of your file(s). After acceptance, please make absolutely sure that you send the latest (i.e., revised) version of your manuscript, both as hardcopy printout and on diskette (submission in electronic form of the final version of your article is compulsory).
Kluwer Academic Publishers prefer articles submitted in word processing packages such as MS Word, WordPerfect, etc. running under operating systems MS DOS, Windows and Apple Macintosh, or in the file format LaTeX. Articles submitted in other software programs can also be accepted.
For submission in LaTeX, Kluwer Academic Publishers have developed a Kluwer LaTeX class file, which can be downloaded from: http://www.wkap.nl/authors/jrnlstylefiles/ Use of this class file is highly recommended. Do not use versions downloaded from other sites. Technical support is available at: texhelp@wkap.nl. If you are not familiar with TeX/LaTeX, the class file will be of no use to you. In that case, submit your article in a common word processor format.
For the purpose of reviewing, articles for publication should be submitted as hardcopy printout (three-fold) and on diskette to: Journals Editorial Office Mycopathologia Kluwer Academic Publishers P.O.

Ethics
When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) or with the Helsinki Declaration (1964, amended in 1975 and 1983) of the World Medical Association. Do not use patients‘ names, initials, or hospital numbers, especially in any illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution‘s or the National Research Council‘s guide for, or any national law on, the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
Manuscript Presentation
The journal‘s language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be printed or typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving adequate margins on all sides to allow reviewers‘ remarks. Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
- title
- author(s)
- affiliation(s)
- full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e﹎ail address
Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Key Words
Please provide a maximum of 6 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order.
Abbreviations
Only those abbreviations which are not familiar and/or commonly used should be arranged alphabetically.
Nomenclature
Only SI (Systeme International) units and abbreviations should be used, although some quantities may be expressed in common units, e.g. mmHg.
Figures and TablesSubmission of electronic figures
In addition to hardcopy printouts of figures, authors are requested to supply the electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Proprietary Formats, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used and the hard copy will be scanned instead.
Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g., ’figure1.eps‘. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman and Helvetica. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format but EPS is also acceptable. The following resolutions are optimal: black-and-white line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi; line figures with some grey or coloured lines - 600 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is.
Higher resolutions will not improve output quality but will only increase file size, which may cause problems with printing; lower resolutions may compromise output quality. Please try to provide artwork that approximately fits within the typeset area of the journal. Especially screened originals, i.e. originals with grey areas, may suffer badly from reduction by more than 10-15%. AVOIDING PROBLEMS WITH EPS GRAPHICS
Please always check whether the figures print correctly to a PostScript printer in a reasonable amount of time. If they do not, simplify your figures or use a different graphics program.
If EPS export does not produce acceptable output, try to create an EPS file with the printer driver (see below). This option is unavailable with the Microsoft driver for Windows NT, so if you run Windows NT, get the Adobe driver from the Adobe site (www.adobe.com).
If EPS export is not an option, e.g., because you rely on OLE and cannot create separate files for your graphics, it may help us if you simply provide a PostScript dump of the entire document. HOW TO SET UP FOR EPS AND POSTSCRIPT DUMPS UNDER WINDOWS
Create a printer entry specifically for this purpose: install the printer ’Apple Laserwriter Plus‘ and specify ’FILE‘: as printer port. Each time you send something to the ’printer‘ you will be asked for a filename. This file will be the EPS file or PostScript dump that we can use.
The EPS export option can be found under the PostScript tab. EPS export should be used only for single-page documents. For printing a document of several pages, select ’Optimise for portability‘ instead. The option ’Download header with each job‘ should be checked. Submission of hard-copy figures
If no electronic versions of figures are available, submit only high-quality artwork that can be reproduced as is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re-typeset. The letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction. Photographs should be in black-and-white on glossy paper. If a figure contains colour, make absolutely clear whether it should be printed in black-and-white or in colour. Figures that are to be printed in black-and-white should not be submitted in colour. Authors will be charged for reproducing figures in colour.
Each figure and table should be numbered and mentioned in the text. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (first) author and the figure number should be written in pencil; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated. Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the manuscript following the Reference section. Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. The figure legends should be grouped and placed on a separate page. Figures are not returned to the author unless specifically requested.
In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.
Section Headings
First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable but not numbered.
Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
Notes
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.
Cross-Referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author‘s name should be followed by the reference number in square brackets. When there are more than two authors, only the first author‘s name should be mentioned, followed by ’et al.‘. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like ’a‘ and ’b‘ after the date to distinguish the works. Examples: Winograd [1] Bullen and Bennett [2]
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.
References
