Manuscript Requirements
1. Manuscripts must be written in English and be typewritten with
double spacing throughout the entire test and with margins of at least 2.5 cm.
An original on 8½" ´ 11" heavy duty white
bond paper and two duplicate copies should be provided. A diskette will be
requested on acceptance of the MS [MS WORD for Windows, or a text file].
2. Each manuscript must have a title (first) page that includes the
title, the authors’ full names, the laboratory or origin of the data, a running
head, a list of 6-8 key words and the name, address and FAX number of the
person to whom correspondence and proofs should be mailed.
3. Full length review articles should be divided into sections in
the following order: Synopsis, Body
(with relevant sub-headings), Acknowledgements,
References.
Short notes should contain no sections. Number pages consecutively.
4. Abbreviations should be
defined when first used by placing in parentheses after the full term; e.g., acetylcholin-esterase (AChE).
5. References should be
cited by numbers between slashes in the text. All references must be listed
alphabetically and numbered consecutively. Abbreviations of journal names
should conform to the Index Medicus.

using oligonucleotide cDNA
probes. In: Van Leeuwen FW, Buijs

6. Tables and Figures.
Illustrations must be submitted in triplicate and reach the editors in a form
suitable for repro-duction either across a single
column or a whole page. Half-tones should be up to 8.0 cm or 17.0 cm wide; line
drawings and tables - 9.0 or 19.0 cm wide. All line art should be
professionally drawn and lettered on smooth surface white paper or bristol board. Computer generated
figures will be accepted only where they are of a quality comparable to
professionally drawn illustrations. Half-tone photographs should be supplied as
sharp, high-quality, black and white prints on glossy paper. Illustrations
grouped to form a com-posite figure should be of similar
density to prevent loss of detail when reproduced. Tables will not be retyped,
and must be of printable quality. Tables and figures should be num-bered in order of their appearance in the text (e.g. Fig. 1,2; Table 1,2). Tables and figures should have their number
and the authors’ names on the reverse side. Magnification for the micrographs
should be indicated by scale bars and not be stating a factor. Sufficient
detail should be given in the legend to make it intelligible without reference
to the text. Legends should be supplied on separate pages at the end of the
text. The cost of color illustrations will be charged to the author. All graphics to be printed in
color should be submitted as PDF files. The charge for one page of color is $1000; second
and subsequent pages will cost $800.
7. Galley proofs. Only
printers’ errors may be corrected. There are no page changes.
8. Copyright responsibility.
This is the author’s own responsibility. If any figure(s), illustration(s),
table(s) or extended quotation(s) etc. are to be taken from material(s)
previously published, the author(s) must secure reproduction permission from
the copyright owner.
Only original papers will be accepted, and copyright of
published papers will be retained by the publisher.
9. Transfer of author
copyright. Please include a signed release of copyright to Freund & Pettman with your manuscript. Include the title of the article being sub-mitted, as
well as the date. Include the signatures of co-authors.
10. Manuscript editing. All
accepted manuscripts are subject to manuscript editing.
11. Reprints. 25 reprints of
each paper will be provided free-of-charge. Additional copies in multiples of a
hundred may be purchased. A reprint order form will accompany the proofs.
Reprints will be sent to the first-named author unless otherwise indicated.
The original manuscript and diagrams will be discarded one
month after publication unless there is a written request for the material to
be returned to the author.
