An original hard copy plus one photocopy should be

3-1/2" disk (PC or Mac) with the files saved in any standard
word-processing program as well as in
rich-text format (.rtf).
Do not embed graphics in the text file.
Plenary papers:
15 pages (including abstract, figure legends, references, and tables)
Extended abstracts: 2-3 pages
All material must be double-spaced, with a
1”margin on all sides (1˝” if on A4 paper).
Note to volume editors: The length of the
complete manuscript should not exceed approximately 600 double-spaced pages.
References are cited numerically as they occur in the text.
Abbreviations for journal titles are those used in the Biosis database, and
only the first author’s name and initials are inverted in the reference list.
Reference paradigms appear on a separate sheet.
Abstracts should be not more than 250 words and are not used with poster papers.
Tables must be placed on separate pages following the text,
and should be designed to fit
on a standard book page (4.5” X 7” print area)
Entitle each table, and make sure each
column has a heading.
These must be professional-quality drawings, charts or
graphs, or glossy half-tone photographs. Computer-generated art must be output
on a laser printer (600 dpi minimum);
all elements must be proportionate and sized for reduction to fit a
4.5 X 7” page. Be sure that columns and bars can be distinguished from each other
by using distinctive stipplings, cross-hatchings (but not screen tints). Figures
may be submitted in EPS or TIFF format, with a separate file for each.
Do not use color in graphs or
charts; convert color to B/W. The cost of color reproduction and presswork,
approximately $3500, must be borne by the author.
