The journal covers the dynamics and mechanisms of sexual processes in all plants, including seed and non-seed plants. Principal emphasis is placed on the experimental approaches using biochemical, molecular, biophysical and immunological methods. Descriptive reports providing new insights on sexual reproduction based on submicroscopic and cytochemical methods are also encouraged. The journal publishes original contributions, short communications, contemporary reviews and commentaries on subjects interesting to the community of sexual plant reproduction researchers.

Instructions to Authors
PREPARING A MANUSCRIPT
After the publishing agreement is signed, please consult this section for detailed instructions on the preparation of the text and illustrations. Preparation of materials for publication differs significantly from the preparation of materials for the Internet, display presentations, or other media. Although the emphasis during this stage is on content, it is useful for the publisher to review samples of electronic files for text and graphics early in the writing process to ensure that the files are in a proper and usable format. |
|
By providing the publisher with word-processed files, the author may eliminate the need for the entire book to be rekeyed at the typesetting house. However, if electronic submission is to be more time and cost effective than a traditional manuscript, the guidelines below should be followed.
Preferred Formats
Keying the Manuscript
Type the manuscript using minimal formatting. Do not try to make the print-out look like a typeset page. The more codes and formatting you insert into the files, the more the typesetter will have to delete before the actual design of the book can be applied. Please submit a sample file to your acquisitions editor for evaluation early in the writing process.
- Double space the entire manuscript, including the references and captions.
- Submit the manuscript on disk, along with a single-sided paper copy. The printout should match the disk files exactly. If a change is made to the disk files at the last minute, print out a new copy of the page or file affected.
- Font: Use Times Roman or a similar serif typeface throughout.
- Use the same typeface for all heads, lists, and other elements of the text.
- Heads:
- Avoid the use of boldface or italics.
- Use upper- and lowercase letters for all heads; do not type any heads in all capital letters.
- Maintain consistency throughout the manuscript in the presentation of the different levels of heads. A main level head should appear the same in all chapters. The same applies to subheads and further divisions.
- Do not use hard carriage returns (the enter key) to double space the manuscript.
- Do not indent paragraphs; instead, use two carriage returns at the end of a paragraph.
- If material needs to be indented, use only one tab (not hard spaces created by pressing the space bar). Use the same tab setting consistently throughout the text.
- Do not justify the text or force hyphenation. Let the text run ragged right.
- Use two or three hyphens for an en or em dash with no space before or after them.
- Distinguish between the number one (1) and a lowercase letter "el" (l), as well as between the number zero (0) and a capital "oh" (O). Even if they appear the same on the screen and on the print-out, they will appear differently when typeset.
- Use only one space after a period.
- If the text contains a lot of mathematics, consult your acquisitions editor about providing FORMATTED FILES. Math does not convert easily into typesetting systems and will have to be rekeyed.
Creating Files
- Put the text of each chapter in its own file without references, tables, captions, room for illustrations, or markers for illustration placement. Simply cite the illustration, table, or footnote in the appropriate paragraphs of the text.
- Illustration captions and references should be placed at the end of a file or in separate files.
- Tables: Place tables in a separate file from the text.
- Remember to number the pages in each file in the lower right-hand corner.
- Give files simple and easily recognizable names. Be sure that the book author's/editor's name and the title of the book are on the disk label, along with the chapter author's name or the chapter number, the chapter title, and the software (including version number) that was used to create the files.
- In an authored book, use the chapter number plus the word "txt" for text, "ref" for references, "tab" for table, and "cap" for captions. Thus, chapter 1 could have four files:
chap1txt
chap1ref
chap1tab
chap1cap
- In an edited book, use the author's name (instead of the chapter number). Thus, a chapter by John Smith could have four files:
Smithtxt
Smithref
Smithtab
Smithcap |
EDITORIAL STYLE
- General: Please follow discipline-specific guidelines, as detailed in the manuals published by the professional organization for the discipline of the book, such as the American Chemical Society, the American Mathematical Society, the American Institute of Physics, the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the College of Biology Editors. For a more general resource, please consult the most recent edition of The Chicago Manual of Style.
- Abstracts: Should not be included in book chapters.
- Chapter titles:
- Chapter titles should be parallel in structure and consistent in style. In edited works, this is the responsibility of the book editor because it requires an overview of the entire manuscript:
|
Correct: |
|
|
Breast Cancer: Causes and Treatment
Colon Cancer: Causes and Treatment |
|
Incorrect: |
|
|
Breast Cancer: Causes and Treatment
The Causes and Treatment of Colon Cancer |
- If a book has parts, the part title should not be repeated in the chapter titles, particularly if the part title appears in the running head. Thus, if a part is entitled Pediatric Medicine, each chapter does not have to include the word Pediatric; the titles can simply read: Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, etc.
- Diacritical marks: Characters with diacritical marks should be selected from the symbol chart available in each word processor. If all symbols are not available, write the correct character in the margin of the appropriate line. Check that diacritical marks are printed properly in the final print-out.
- Heads:
- It is unnecessary to use the word Introduction as the first section head in a chapter, since the first paragraphs clearly present introductory material.
- Keep heads parallel from one chapter to another, particularly in edited books. One chapter should not end with a Summary, another with a Conclusion, and a third with Summary and Conclusions. As with consistency in chapter titles, this is the responsibility of the book editor.
- For keying heads so that the levels are clearly differentiated, see KEYING THE MANUSCRIPT: HEADS
- Italics:
- Use italics for variables in math, for prefixes in chemistry, to identify genera and species, and for foreign words (as identified by Webster's New International Dictionary, 4th edition).
- Commonly used Latin abbreviations and phrases, such as e.g., i.e., in vitro, and in vivo, should not be italicized.
- Avoid using italics for emphasis.
- Lists:
- Leave a blank space above and below lists.
- Indent items one tab.
- If the text runs more than one line, subsequent lines should run flush left; do not insert spaces, tabs or line returns to force them to indent.
- Numbers: Follow discipline-specific guidelines, but note:
- Spell out numbers 1 to 9 unless followed by a unit of measure or a decimal.
- Spell out a number at the beginning of a sentence.
- Numbers smaller than 1.0 with decimals should include a zero before the decimal point in text, tables, and illustrations.
- Spelling: Consult Webster's and use American spelling throughout. For the spelling of technical terms, consult a discipline-specific dictionary.
- Symbols: Be sure symbols are clear. Distinguish between the number one and the lowercase "el," and between the number zero (0) and the capital "oh" (O). Use the Greek characters from the symbol chart available in each word processor to avoid confusion with American lowercase letters. As with diacritical marks, check the print-out to confirm that symbols have printed correctly.
- Trademark symbol: Delete if used for a pharmaceutical. Retain if it applies to a new procedure or piece of equipment.
- Units of measurement: Use SI units wherever possible.
