Instructions to Authors
Guidelines for Authors
Natural Areas Journal provides a forum for communication among persons involved in the identification, preservation, protection, and management of natural areas and elements of natural diversity. We welcome articles focusing on nature preserves, natural areas, state or national parks, rare and endangered species, land preservation, and theoretical approaches to natural area work.
Natural Areas Journal welcomes manuscripts for publication in several categories. Research articles (3000 to 7500 words) are peer-reviewed and detail original research in which new data, concepts, or applications are presented. Research notes (3000 words or less) are peer-reviewed and report results of completed original research projects of smaller scope. Conservation Issues articles (3000 to 7500 words) are reviewed by at least one member of the Editorial Board. They may summarize observational research that involves minimal quantitative data, review legislation pertinent to the natural areas profession, or discuss trends and issues in biodiversity conservation and management. Steward抯 Circle notes are short communications (3000 words or less) reviewed by the Editorial Board that describe new techniques and equipment, research in progress, and innovative management practices. Forum submissions (500 to 1000 words) comment on material published in Natural Areas Journal or address issues of general interest to natural area professionals. Book reviews (1000 to 2000 words) focus on titles received by the Natural Areas Journal. Prospective book reviewers should consult a current journal issue for a list of available titles and for details on the review process. Authors whose papers contain extensive supplementary tabular material or appendices should consider posting the material on a Web site or should provide other means for readers to access the information. Instructions for accessing or obtaining supplementary material should be provided in the text of an article (e.g., web site URL, mailing address, etc.). Web sites posting material that supplements papers published in the Natural Areas Journal should provide a link to the Natural Areas Association Web site (http:\\www.naturalarea.org). Authors planning to submit manuscripts significantly longer than 7500 words should first contact the Editor.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Submit four copies of each manuscript, including tables and figures. All text and tables should be double-spaced with ample margins on white paper. All articles should begin with an informative but brief title (avoid use of abbreviations) followed by authors?names and addresses (indicate corresponding author). Include a word count for the manuscript (all text from abstract through literature cited) following the author information. Papers should include an abstract (250 words maximum) that concisely reports the purpose and results of the research or review. Following the abstract, please provide a list of up to five index terms. For most papers, two levels of subheads will suffice. Footnotes should not be used in the text but may be used in tables and should be denoted by superscripted lowercase letters. Express all measurements in metric units. Refer to Merriam Webster抯 Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition, for spelling and hyphenation. Scientific names of taxa (with authority) must be supplied, particularly at first mention of a vernacular name. Check the most recent issue of the Journal for the correct style for citing literature.

Normal contrast copies of line drawings, maps, and graphs are essential. Black and white photographs also should be normal contrast and printed on matte paper. Color figures may be published at an extra cost to the author. Include the corresponding author抯 name, address, e-mail, and phone number with each contribution.
