About the journal
The American Journal of Physical Anthropology (AJPA) is the official journal of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. The Journal is published monthly in three quarterly volumes. In addition, two supplements appear on an annual basis, the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, which publishes major review articles, and the Annual Meeting Issue, containing the Scientific Program of the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists and abstracts of posters and podium presentations. The Yearbook of Physical Anthropology has its own editor, appointed by the Association, and is handled independently of the AJPA. As measured by impact factor, the AJPA is either first or among the top four journals listed in the anthropology category by the Social Science Citation Index. The reputation of the AJPA as the leading publication in physical anthropology is built on its 83-year record of publishing high quality scientific articles in a wide range of topics.
The Editor-in-Chief welcomes for consideration manuscripts that contribute to an understanding of the evolution of members of the Order Primates, with particular emphasis on human biological evolution and variation. Within this framework, the AJPA publishes in established areas, including human biology and non-human primate behavior, and also seeks submissions in new and developing fronts that contribute to the growth of the science and increased understanding of human and non-human primate evolution.
The AJPA publishes scientific articles without page restriction or page charges, as well as invited commentaries, book reviews, and short communications dealing mostly with methodological and technical issues. Manuscripts submitted elsewhere will not be considered for publication.
Readers will note that beginning with volume 114, number 1 (January, 2001), the AJPA has undergone alterations in design and size. The cover illustration will change with each volume. The size has increased from 6 7/8 inches x 10.0 inches to 8 1/4 inches x 11.0 inches. The Editor-in-Chief seeks input on cover design from the AJPA readership. Authors are encouraged to submit illustrative materials for inclusion on the cover. The cover may or may not be related to a specific article or articles presented in the issue or issues of any given volume.
Research manuscripts should be sent to the Office of the Editor-in-Chief. Invited book reviews should be sent to the Associate Editor for Book Reviews. The Office of the Editor-in-Chief is staffed by a Managing Editor, and beginning July 1, 2001, is located at the Ohio State University, Columbus (until June 30, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg). The AJPA is a peer-reviewed scientific publication. The Editor-in-Chief works with the assistance of Associate Editors appointed by the Executive Committee of the Association, and seeks advice of reviewers recommended by the Associate Editors. The review process is anonymous.

The manuscript, including literature cited, should be typed or laser-printed, double-spaced on bond or heavy-bodied paper 8 1/2" X 11" (22 X 28 cm), or the nearest local equivalent, with a 1" (2.5 cm) margin on all sides. Number the manuscript pages consecutively, beginning with the title page. Submit an original manuscript, including the text and two sets of original illustrations. In addition, four copies of the text and four good-quality copies of the illustrations are required for review purposes.
Indent the first line of every paragraph.
Do not divide words at the end of lines; if they are unfamiliar to the printer, they may be incorrectly hyphenated.
Corrections to the manuscript should be typed or printed legibly in ink.
Do not begin sentences with abbreviations.
The word "Figure" is not abbreviated in the text, except when appearing in parentheses: (Fig. 2); (Figs. 4-6).
The spelling of nontechnical terms should be that recommended in the current Webster's International Dictionary.
Always spell out numbers when they stand as the first word in a sentence; do not follow such numbers with abbreviations. Numbers indicating time, weight, and measurements are to be in Arabic numerals when followed by abbreviations (e.g., 2 mm; 1 sec; 3 ml).
Text to be italicized should be underlined and not printed in italic font.
Title page. The title page must contain:
Title
Author's name (or names)
Institution from which the paper emanated, with city, state, and postal code
Number of text pages, plus bibliography, figures, graphs, charts, and tables

In the text, references to the literature should be cited by author's surname followed by year of publication:
. . . studies by Ward (1993) reveal . . .
. . . studies by Corner and Richtsmeier (1993) reveal . . .
. . . studies by Little et al. (1993) reveal . . .
. . . an earlier report (Hutchinson, 1993) . . .
. . . earlier reports (Arriaza et al., 1993; Paoli et al., 1993) . . .
When references are made to more than one paper by the same author published in the same year, they should be designated in the text as (Benefit and McCrossin, 1993a,b).
Benefit BR, and McCrossin ML. 1993a. New Kenyapithecus postcrania and other primate fossils from Maboko Island, Kenya [abstract]. Am J Phys Anthropol 16:55–56.
Benefit BR, and McCrossin ML. 1993b. On the lacrimal fossa of Cercopithecinae, with special reference to cladistic analysis of Old World m relationships. Folia Primatol 60:133–145.
The literature list must follow CBE style (refer to the CBE Style Manual, 6th edition, Cambridge University Press) and be arranged alphabetically, not chronologically, by author's or authors' surname(s) in the following style: Author's name (or names), year of publication, complete title, volume, and inclusive pages as follows:
Journal article
Trinkaus E, Churchill SE, and Ruff CB. 1994. Postcranial robusticity in Homo. II: humeral bilateral asymmetry and bone plasticity. Am J Phys Anthropol 93:1–34.
Book
Saunders SR, Katzenberg MA. 1992. Skeletal biology of past peoples: research methods. New York: Wiley-Liss.
Book chapter
Gruner O. 1993. Identification of skulls: A historical review and practical applications. In: Iscan MY, Helmer RP, editors. Forensic analysis of the skull. New York: Wiley-Liss. p 29–45.
Abbreviations of journal titles should follow those used in Index Medicus.
Footnotes. Footnotes to the text should be limited as much as possible and must be numbered consecutively. The corresponding reference numbers must be clearly indicated in the text. Additional references to the identical footnotes are to be numbered with the next following consecutive number; for example:
2Material used for this experiment was provided by . . .
3See footnote 2.
Footnotes to a table should be typed directly beneath the table and numbered with superscripts (1, 2, 3, etc.). They should not be numbered in sequence with the footnotes in the text. Also, if superscript numbers could be mistaken for exponents, substitute superscript a, b, c, etc.
Tables. All tables must be cited in the text. They should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Since tabular material is expensive to reproduce, it should be simple and uncomplicated, with as few vertical and horizontal rules as possible. Type double spaced. Indicate in the margin where the tables are to appear in the text. Table titles should be complete but brief. Information other than that defining the data should be presented in footnotes, not in the table heading.
Figures. All figures must be cited in the text. Figure legends are to be numbered consecutively as follows: Fig. 1. . . . , Fig. 2. . . . , and should follow the sequence of reference in the text. Type double spaced. Abbreviations for all figures should be listed alphabetically and placed before the first figure mentioning them:
|
|
Abbreviations |
|
AchE |
Acetylcholinesterase |
|
CP |
Cortical plate |
|
SmI |
Primary somatosensory cortex |
|
V |
Ventral |
Whenever possible, figures should be integrated into the text. Reference to relevant text pages can often reduce the length of legends and avoid redundancy. Metric system: The metric system should be used for all measurements, weights, etc. Temperatures should be expressed in degrees Celsius (centigrade). Metric abbreviations should be expressed in lower-case without periods.
Symbols. When preceded by a digit, the following symbols are to be used: % for percent; ° for degree.
Illustrations
Reproduction of illustrations is costly. Authors should limit the number of figures to that which adequately presents the findings. To achieve greatest fidelity and rendition of detail, it is preferable that the printer work directly from original drawings or high-quality photographic prints (but not photocopies made on an office duplicating machine). All illustrations must be submitted in complete and finished form with adequate labeling.
To achieve optimum halftone quality, photographic prints submitted for reproduction must be of adequate contrast and if multiple prints are included in a single figure, they should be of uniform tone.
Black-and-white-prints. Prints should be on white, nonmatte paper.
Color illustrations. These can be made either from good-quality transparencies or from color prints. Do not use silk finish or matte surface papers for color prints. The cost of all color illustrations will be charged to the author; the price varies depending on the sophistication of the work. Once the paper has been accepted, firm quotes will be supplied by the publisher, and the author will have the opportunity to approve both costs and proofs prior to printing.
Reduction to printed size. The author should indicate clearly on each illustration the reduction desired, bearing the following in mind:
Illustrations cannot be reduced to less than 20% of their submitted size.
Submitted line drawings cannot exceed 11" X 14" (28 X 36 cm).
Lettering and labels must be readable after reduction. When reduced, the minimum height of a capital letter should not be less than 2.5 mm for a photomicrograph and 1 mm for a graph or chart.
When printed, an individual figure or group of figures should not exceed the dimensions of 5 1/2" (14.0 cm) wide by 7 3/4" (19.7 cm) long or 2 5/8" (6.7 cm) wide by 7 3/4" (19.7 cm) long in the case of single- column placement.
As far as possible, the publisher will adhere to the author's suggested reduction. However, discretionary adjustments may have to be made, and the scale of illustrated objects should be indicated in the figure, not in the caption.
Line drawings. Figures should be drawn with black ink on medium-weight white paper or lightweight artboard. To reduce weight and postal charges, photographic prints may be submitted in lieu of original drawings. The artwork should be sharp and black to achieve maximum contrast.
Use stippling and hatching techniques to achieve tonal quality. Avoid the use of shading (pencil, wash, or airbrush) for tonal effect unless the drawing is to be reproduced as a halftone with its attendant gray-tint background. If original graphs are submitted, they should be drawn on blue-ruled paper; colors other than blue will reproduce.
The reverse side of each illustration should indicate: Author's name; Figure number; Top side of illustra tion; Reduction requested; "Review copy" on those copies intended only for reviewers.
Do not fasten illustrations with paper clips, staples, etc., since they will mark the surface of the illus trations.
Illustrations should be shipped flat and protected by heavy cardboard.
Mounting figures. Photomicrographs and illustrations should be mounted as follows:
Figures should be trimmed straight on all sides with right-angled corners.
Figures should be mounted on strong bristol board of about 15 points (0.4 mm) thickness with at least a 1" (2.5 cm) margin surrounding the figure or grouping of figures.
Figures should be attached to the bristol board using appropriate dry mounting materials, or a cement or glue that is white or colorless when set.
When two or more figures are assembled, they should be mounted close together and separated by no more than 1/8" (3 mm).
Illustrations grouped to form a single figure should be of similar density and tone to prevent loss of detail.
Lettering and labels. Illustrations should be lettered and numbered with printed paste-on or transfer labels. Typewriter and dot-matrix fonts are in general not acceptable as labels.
Labels should be large enough to allow for suitable reduction and sturdy enough to withstand mailing and handling in the production process.
For protection, it is recommended that labeling be sprayed with clear adhesive to prevent it from becoming scratched or being torn off.
Labeling should be done directly on the drawing or photographic print, never on an overlay.
All labeling should be placed at least 1/8" (3 mm) in from the edges of the illustration.
To achieve adequate contrast between the label or letter and its background, place white labels over dark backgrounds and black labels over light backgrounds, or shadow the labels with an appropriately light or dark highlight.
Numbering. Figures, including charts and graphs, must be numbered consecutively.
General illustration instructions: Original illustrations, and three sets of good-contrast photographic copies for review purposes, should be submitted with the manuscript.
If the original drawings are too large for shipment, photographic prints should be submitted.
Photocopies of illustrations made on an office duplicating machine are not acceptable; copies of the manuscript only will be permitted.
Other Submissions
Book Reviews are solicited by the Book Review Editor. Unsolicited reviews will not ordinarily be considered for publication. A book review should begin by stating the title, author(s), publisher, date, page count, price, and ISBN number of the work reviewed:
VISIONS OF CALIBAN: ON CHIMPANZEES AND PEOPLE. By Dale Peterson and Jane Goodall. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. 1993. 367 pp., $22.95 (cloth). ISBN 0-395-53760-6.
The review should include no other front matter (title, abstract, key words), headings, tables, or illustrations. Bibliographical citations should be avoided if possible. The reviewer's name and address should be placed at the end of the review.
Announcements of general interest may be published without charge at the discretion of the Editor and Publisher. Submissions should consist of text only and be submitted exactly as they are to appear in print. Announcements concerning goods and services offered for sale will not be published gratis and must be submitted as advertising copy; see the inside front cover for further details.
The Notes and Comments section is reserved for technical notes of general interest and responses to previously published items. Items submitted for consideration under this heading should ordinarily not exceed 2000 words. They should be submitted in the form of a letter to the editor, with a title but no key words, abstract or headings. Tables, figures, and literature cited should be minimized or avoided.
In all other respects, submissions under these three headings should follow the rules governing the preparation of copy and illustrations for research articles.
Miscellaneous
The editor and publisher reserve the right to return to the author for revision manuscripts and illustrations that are not in proper finished form.
After submission of an article for publication, the author will be asked to sign a copyright transfer agreement, transferring rights to the publisher, who reserves copyright.
Proof. A single set of page and illustration proofs will be sent to the author. All corrections should be marked clearly, directly on page proof.
Reprints. Reprints of research articles and publications in Notes and Comments may be purchased at prices quoted on the reprint order form. Reprint orders should be returned with the proofs. It is important to order initially a sufficient quantity of reprints, since the price is substantially higher if they are ordered after the paper has been published. Reprints of announcements and book reviews are available by special arrangement only.
Disk Submission Instructions
Please return your final, revised manuscript on disk as well as hard copy.
The hard copy must match the disk.
The Journal strongly encourages authors to deliver the final, revised version of their accepted manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations) on disk. Given the near-universal use of computer word-processing for manuscript preparation, we anticipate that providing a disk will be convenient for you, and it carries the added advantages of maintaining the integrity of your keystrokes and expediting typesetting. Please return the disk submission slip below with your manuscript and labeled disk(s).
Guidelines for Electronic Submission
Text
Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density disk in IBM MS-DOS, Windows, or Macintosh format.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript with one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists.
File names. Submit the text and tables of each manuscript as a single file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.
Labels. Label all disks with your name, the file name, and the word processing program and version used.
Illustrations
All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CMYK color space. If possible, ICC or ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.
Storage medium. Submit as separate files from text files, on separate disks or cartridges. If feasible, full color files should be submitted on separate disks from other image files. 3-1/2" high-density disks, CD, Iomega Zip, and 5 1/4" 44- or 88-MB SyQuest cartridges can be submitted. At authors' request, cartridges and disks will be returned after publication.
Software and format. All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.
Resolution. Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.
File names. Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .tif, .eps).
Labels. Label all disks and cartridges with your name, the file names, formats, and compression schemes (if any) used. Hard copy output must accompany all files.
