Manuscripts on genetics, molecular biology, archaeology, anthropology, etc., are welcome, especially if they provide natural history insights that are of interest to field scientists. Symposium proceedings are occasionally published.
Indexed in Biological Abstracts (BIOSIS), BIOSIS Previews, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, EBSCOhost, Elsevier BIOBASE (Current Awareness in Biological Sciences), Environmental Knowledgebase (formerly Environmental Periodicals Bibliography), ISI Services (Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology, and Environmental Sciences, ISI Alerting Service, Science Citation Index-Expanded), FISHLIT (Aquatic Biology, Aquaculture, and Fisheries Resources; Fish and Fisheries Worldwide), Wildlife Review Abstracts, and Zoological Record (BIOSIS UK).
Instructions to Authors
The Northeastern Naturalist (ISSN #1092-6194) is a regional interdisciplinary scientific journal that serves as a standard scientific reference resource for northeastern North America, including Canada. It welcomes manuscripts in any of the categories listed below. Manuscripts may focus on terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and habitats. Subject areas include, but are not limited to field ecology, biology, behavior, biogeography, taxonomy, evolution, anatomy, physiology, geology, and related fields. Manuscripts on genetics, molecular biology, archaeology, and anthropology, etc., are welcome, especially if they provide natural history insights that are of strategic interest to field scientists.
Manuscripts may be submitted by anyone who has a serious interest in natural history, including college and university faculty members and their students, researchers, field biologists, naturalists, and writers. The journal staff is pleased to discuss ideas for manuscripts and to assist during all stages of manuscript preparation.
Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by a guest editor in collaboration with two reviewers, each of whom is a subject matter expert, and each of whom will make editorial recommendations.
The Northeastern Naturalist is a sister journal of the Southeastern Naturalist. Both journals are identical in focus, format, quality, and features. The journals together serve as a matched-pair of regional interdisciplinary journals that provide an integrated publishing and research resource for the eastern part of North America.
Categories of manuscripts
Original research articles
Original research articles should be written for specialists in standard scientific format and should be highly condensed. Detailed figures, tables, and discussions of statistics should be included.
Research summaries
Original research summaries and general interest articles should be condensed, yet generally readable summaries of a broad base of previously published research or technical reports. The articles should in part help to bridge the gap between scientists and the general public. Photographs and/or figures and tables should be included, but discussions of statistics should be kept to a minimum. Summaries of dissertations, theses, and well-written student reports are welcome, especially if co-authored by faculty members.
Field observations and notes
Notes on unusual field observations that are of interest to advanced field naturalists are welcome. Observations should be used as a basis for a concise discussion of their importance and should include references to the technical literature. Manuscripts about new or unusual species records and observations about life histories and behavior are of special interest. Each proposed note needs to minimally have an abstract, a main section, and a literature cited section.
Form and content of manuscripts
The Northeastern Naturalist has standardized guidelines for manuscript preparation. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced in their entirety, in one column, on 8.5" by 11" paper, with 1.5" margins. All text should be left-justified. Manuscript pages should be numbered. All manuscripts should have a cover page with the article title and author name(s), address(es), phone number(s), and e-mail address(es). The title should generally be no more than 60 characters, including spaces. Research articles should generally have the following sections, -in order: Abstract (generally not to exceed 120 words), Introduction, Field-Site Description (optional), Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, and Literature Cited. Research summaries can have a variety of formats but should at least include an Abstract and a Literature Cited and/or Additional Reading section.
Paragraphs should be indented with 0.25" tabs (never with a series of spaces!). Section headings should be in bold capital letters with the text centered. Subheadings should be in bold lower case letters on their own left justified lines. Sub-subheadings should be in italic lower case letters at the beginning of standard indented paragraphs.
Footnotes may be used in general interest articles and articles on the history of science (and tables). Footnotes should be formatted as hanging paragraphs.
Metric units (with English units in parentheses when necessary) should be used. Scientific names, authorities for the names, and common names for each species should be given at least once (... Procyon lotor Linnaeus ...). Abbreviations (... P. lotor ...) are preferred in subsequent mentions of a species when such usage is unambiguous.
The following examples regarding commas and quotation marks should be noted: ... a, b, and c. ... "xxx," ... ... "xxx." ... "xxx?" ... xxx, i.e., yyy. ... "xxx" (Smith 1972).
The Northeastern Naturalist has a page size of 6 by 9 inches with a maximum printable area in most cases of 4.25 by 7.5 inches. There is an average of 2500 characters per printed page of text. Figures, including photos and line drawings, should be submitted in the same -size they are to appear in the journal, if possible. They may be one column wide (2.125") to full page width (4.25"). Several figures may be mounted together as a composite plate with maximum dimensions of 4.25 by 7.5 inches. A sans serif font such as Helvetica (8 - 10 pt.) should be used for labeling. Photos should be mounted on 8.5" by 11" index card stock. Each figure should be identified at the bottom with the figure number and name of the author(s). Photos should generally be black-and-white. Color photographs may be proposed, in consultation with the journal staff. Cover photo suggestions are welcome. Figure captions should be on a separate page at the end of the manuscript. Each caption should generally be limited to 50 words.
Tables should be formatted in the simplest possible way, i.e., as rows of tab-delimited text. Never separate text entries with a series of spaces! Avoid the use of table formatting options that place entries within cells. Table entries may include simple underlines. Vertical lines should be avoided.
The following examples of citations for a Literature Cited section should be carefully followed. PLEASE note the sequence of information, use of italics, capital vs. lower case letters, initials, space between initials, parentheses, abbreviations, inclusion of total number of pages for books, use of capital letters for book titles, use of lower case letters for journal article titles, and the use of periods, commas, etc. Full journal names should be used. Citations should be formatted as hanging paragraphs (not displayed below due to html limitations) with a quarter inch indent, with only one line return per citation. The use of tabs or a series of spaces should be avoided.

Direct citations of titles should be avoided within an article. Informal observations by colleagues may be cited as follows: (pers. comm. (or unpubl. data), J. Roberts, Brattleboro, VT).
Submittal and review of manuscripts
Four complete copies of the manuscript (including all figures, photographs, etc.) should be submitted along with a brief cover letter indicating the proposed category for the manuscript and any interesting or unusual features of the manuscript. Suggestions for possible guest editors and/or reviewers are encouraged. Please indicate the total number of characters of text, if possible. Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by a guest editor in collaboration with two reviewers, each of whom will be a subject matter expert, and each of whom will make editorial recommendations. Manuscripts will be edited in collaboration with the author(s) for readability, clarity, and conciseness. Editors follow conventions of the CBE Style Manual (Council of Biology Editors).
The final revised copy of the manuscript should be accompanied by an electronic copy in Word 5.1 or 6.0 (preferably saved for Macintosh).
Page charges and subscriptions
The Northeastern Naturalist has no required page charges. It does routinely ask authors to make the suggested contribution of $60 per page towards the general publishing effort of the journal, either through their institutions, funding oganizations, and/or personal research grants. We ask this on behalf of all authors, in part to help the journal to adjust to the increasing submission rate of manuscripts. Without contributions from author institutions and/or funding oganizations, the number of pages printed would depend too heavily on the subscription base of the journal, thus limiting the journal's ability to meet publishing expectations of authors. The inclusion of color photographs is considered optional and requires a contribution from authors. Twenty-five reprints are provided free of charge. Additional copies may be ordered.
In order to encourage wide use of the Northeastern and Southeastern Naturalists and their development as strong region-wide journals, it is asked that all institutions whose faculty members, staff, and/or students are using the journals as publishing outlets, subscribe to one of the two journals. This is in everyone's long-term interests. Authors are encouraged to subscribe to the journal.
