Instructions to Authors
TopAuthor Guidelines
Designation of the Manuscript
Papers in any of the following fields will be considered, and authors are requested to designate their manuscript according to one of these divisions on submission.
1. Soil physics
2. Soil chemistry and soil mineralogy
3. Soil biology
4. Plant nutrition
5. Soil genesis, classification and survey
6. Soil fertility
7. Fertilizers and soil amendments
8. Environment
9. Socio cultural soil science
Contributions are classified into three types as follows, and authors should indicate the type of manuscript on submission (the Editorial Committee may, however, request authors to change the type of contribution after review).
Original Articles:
Full-length paper. Limited to eight printed pages, including references, tables and figures.
Short paper. A brief report on new findings or improvement of experimental methods, which requires rapid publication. Limited to four printed pages.
Review: Includes an extensive review of a specific subject, or a review of a contemporary development or an issue focused on a certain area. Limited to eight printed pages. The Editorial Committee may ask members of the Japanese Society of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition or a suitable non-member (Japanese or foreign scientist and expert) to contribute a review to the Journal. The Editorial Committee may ask members of the Japanese Society of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition or a suitable non-member to contribute a review to the Journal.
Editorial Review and Acceptance
The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are peer reviewed by at least two reviewers. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board, who reserves the right to refuse any material for publication.
Authors will be requested to revise their manuscript according to the reviewers' suggestions, comments and criticisms. The revised manuscript must be returned within two months.
Manuscripts should be written in a clear, concise, direct style so that they are intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of scientific content, the Editor and the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader. If extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.
Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and the use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
Submission of Manuscripts
All articles submitted to the Journal must comply with these instructions. Failure to do so will result in return of the manuscript and possible delay in publication.
Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sspn. All authors must supply their email addresses as all correspondence will be by email. The first author of manuscript who is a member of JSSSPN will also need to supply their JSSSPN membership number for online submission. Upon receipt of the manuscript, authors will be informed by email of a code number for their manuscript. This code number should be quoted in all correspondence about the manuscript thereafter.
Two files should be supplied: the covering letter and the manuscript (in Word or rich text format (.rtf) - this file will be converted to .pdf format for use during the review process.) The covering letter should be uploaded as a file not for review.
Submissions should be double-spaced.
All margins should be at least 30 mm.
All pages should be numbered consecutively in the top right-hand corner, beginning with the title page.
Do not use Enter at the end of lines within a paragraph.
Turn the hyphenation option off; include only those hyphens that are essential to the meaning.
Specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters.
Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero) or ß (German esszett) for b (Greek beta).
Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables. If you use a table editor function, ensure that each data point is contained within a unique cell (i.e. do not use carriage returns within cells).
Each figure should be supplied as a separate file, with the figure number incorporated in the file name. High-resolution figures (at least 300 d.p.i. at final size) saved as .eps (line artwork) or .tif (photographic figures) files should be uploaded. These will be converted to small .jpg files for ease of transmission during the review process. Digital images supplied only as low-resolution files cannot be used.
Further instructions are available at the submission site.
Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
Cover Letter
Papers are accepted for publication in the Journal on the understanding that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. This must be stated in the covering letter.
The covering letter must also contain an acknowledgement that all authors have contributed significantly, and that all authors are in agreement with the content of the manuscript.
Authors must declare any financial support or relationships that may pose conflict of interest.
If tables or figures have been reproduced from another source, a letter from the copyright holder (usually the Publisher), stating authorization to reproduce the material, must be attached to the covering letter.
Word 2007
Will authors please note that Word 2007 is not yet compatible with journal production systems. Unfortunately, the journal cannot accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents until such time as a stable production version is released. Please use Word's 'Save As' option therefore to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
Author material archive policy
Authors who require the return of any submitted material that is accepted for publication should inform the Editorial Office after acceptance. If no indication is given that author material should be returned, Blackwell Publishing will dispose of all hardcopy and electronic material two months after publication.
Ethical Considerations
Any experiments involving animals must be demonstrated to be ethically acceptable and where relevant conform to national guidelines for animal usage in research.
When the research is carried out in areas for which research permits are required (e.g. nature reserves), or when it deals with organisms for which collection or import/export permits are required (e.g. protected species), the authors must clearly detail obtaining these permits in the Acknowledgements section.
Copyright
Papers accepted for publication become copyright of the Japanese Society of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition and authors will be asked to sign a transfer of copyright form. In signing the transfer of copyright it is assumed that authors have obtained permission to use any copyrighted or previously published material. All authors must read and agree to the conditions outlined in the Copyright Assignment Form, and must sign the Form or agree that the corresponding author can sign on their behalf. Articles cannot be published until a signed Copyright Assignment Form has been received. Authors can download the form from http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/sspn_caf.pdf, and should submit a completed form with their manuscript.
Style of the Manuscript
Spelling. The Journal uses US spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.
Units. All measurements must be given in SI or SI-derived units.
Abbreviations. Abbreviations should be used sparingly - only where they ease the reader's task by reducing repetition of long, technical terms. Initially use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter use the abbreviation only.
Scientific names. Upon its first use in the title, abstract and text, the common name of a plant, insect, animal or microorganism should be followed by the scientific name (genus, species and authority) in parentheses.
Soil nomenclature. For soil nomenclature, an international classification system (e.g. the FAO-UNESCO system or USDA Soil Taxonomy) may be included as a reference, when a local classification is presented.
Chemical nomenclature. For chemical nomenclature, recommendations by the convention of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry should be followed.
Genetic nomenclature. Standard genetic nomenclature should be used.
Publication in Soil Science and Plant Nutrition implies an obligation on the part of authors to deposit any novel nucleic acid sequence data referred to in their papers with the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ). Deposition of such data should, at the latest, be made immediately after the paper has been accepted for publication, so that the authors can add the relevant accession number at the end of the text at the page proof stage. Details of how to submit data to DDBJ can be found at http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp.
The suggested wording for referring to accession-number information is: 'These sequence data have been submitted to the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under accession number U12345.'
Formulae. Simple fractions should be written as Ti+1/Ti (not Ti+1 ÷ Ti). For chemical formulae, valence of ion should be indicated as Ca2+ or SO42- (not Ca++ or SO4--). Isotope numbers should precede the symbols (e.g. 14C or (15NH4)2•SO4). Complicated formulae should be drawn on a separate page.
Parts of the Manuscript
Manuscripts should be presented in the following order: (i) title page, (ii) abstract and key words, (iii) text, (iv) acknowledgements, (v) references, (vi) appendices, (vii) figure legends, (viii) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes) and (ix) figures. Footnotes to the text are not allowed and any such material should be incorporated into the text as parenthetical matter.
Title page
The title page should contain (i) the title of the paper, (ii) the full names of the authors and (iii) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out together with (iv) the full postal and email address, plus facsimile and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent. The present address of any author, if different from that where the work was carried out, should be supplied in a footnote.
The title page should also contain the type of contribution and division of the manuscript.
The title should be short, informative and contain the major key words. Do not use abbreviations in the title. A short running title (less than 40 characters) should also be provided.
Abstract and key words
All articles must have a brief abstract that states the purpose, basic procedures, main findings and principal conclusions of the study. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references.
Five key words (for the purposes of indexing) should be supplied below the abstract in alphabetical order.
Text
Authors should use the following subheadings to divide the sections of their manuscript: (i) Introduction, (ii) Materials and Methods, (iii) Results and (iv) Discussion. Short papers may have the Results and Discussion together as one section. It is not necessary to divide reviews with these subheadings.
Acknowledgements
The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the authors' industrial links and affiliations. The contribution of colleagues or institutions should also be acknowledged. Personal thanks and thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.
References
The Harvard (author, date) system of referencing is used (examples are given below). In the text give the author's name followed by the year in parentheses: Smith (2000). If there are two authors use 'and': Smith and Jones (2001); but if cited within parentheses use '&': (Smith & Jones 2001). When reference is made to a work by three or more authors, the first name followed by et al. should be used: MacDonald et al. (2002). In the reference list, references should be listed in alphabetical order.
In the reference list, cite the names of all authors when there are ten or fewer; when eleven or more, list the first three followed by et al. Do not use ibid. or op cit. The DOI should be given instead of the journal volume and pages for electric journals and articles in press. For a web based source, provide the title of the report or article, the complete web address and the month and year the site was accessed for the cited information in parentheses. For a patent, indicate author(s)/inventor(s), name/title, country where patent is registered. Reference to unpublished data and personal communications should not appear in the list but should be cited in the text only (e.g. Smith A, 2000, unpublished data). All citations mentioned in the text, tables or figures must be listed in the reference list.
Names of journals should be abbreviated according to Chemical Abstracts or the Serial Sources for the Biosis Data Base, available in most libraries or from http://www.biosis.org.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references.
