Instructions to Authors

 

 Articles which have not already been published will be accepted. The manuscripts should be in the following format:

 

The manuscript should be prepared as an A4 Word document with 1.5 line spacing and submitted through the website.

 

- The title should be concise and informative, and not exceed 25 words. Authors of scientific names should not be included in the title, but the order and family should be indicated in parentheses.

 

- The name(s) and address(es) of all authors (including e-mail address(es)) of the paper must be given. If the paper has more than one author, an accompanying letter, indicating co-authorship agreement, should be provided.

 

- The abstract should be informative, briefly describing the method, scope and main findings of the work, and not exceed 250 words. The abstract should be followed by a list of key words.

 

The arrangement of the main text may vary with different types of papers, but should start with an introduction and end with a list of references. Scientific names should be written in Italics. Authors of scientific names should be given only the first time a name appears and the generic name should be abbreviated to an initial in subsequent references except at the start of sentences. Use metric system only. References should be cited in the text as Shojai (2002), Neal & Bentz (1999), or Radjabi et al. (1997) (three or more authors), or alternatively in a parenthesis, considering the same criteria (Perring et al., 1993), (Parsi & Khosrowshahi, 1990). When more than one reference is given at the same point in the text, they should be listed chronologically (earliest first) in a parenthesis, separated from each other by a semicolon e.g. (Perring et al., 1993; Baldanza, 1996).

 

- The introduction should include a short and clear overview of current knowledge on the subject. It should also emphasize the aim of the research.

 

Materials and methods should be described at length if they are original. If they are already known, only the reference of the published description must be given.

 

Results and discussion can be either presented together or under separate titles:

A) Results may include tables and figures. Each table should have no vertical lines and be given in a separate page with a descriptive title. All illustrations, such as line drawings, photographs and diagrams, should be considered as figures and given in separate pages.  Figures should be submitted in black and white at a resolution of 600 dpi. In special cases, colour illustrations will be accepted by discretion of the editorial board. Figure legends should be numbered consecutively and typed on a separate page. Exact references must be given for any quotations taken from published or unpublished sources. It is assumed that permission has been obtained to do so.

B) The discussion should be focused on the interpretation of matters arising directly from the results and compared with the results of related studies.

 

- The acknowledgment should be as brief as possible.

References must be in the following format and listed alphabetically with respect to the last name of the first author:

Blackman, R. L. & Spence, J. M. (1994) The effects of temperature on aphid morphology, using a multivariate approach. European Journal of Entomology 91, 7-22.

If several references of the same author(s) are listed, they must be presented chronologically (earliest first). Several references published by the same author(s) in the same year should be differentiated using lower case letters (a, b, etc.) after the year of publication both in text and in the references.

If the reference to an article published without any authorship, instead of author’s name the term "Anonymous" should be used; if the publication date is unavailable, use the phrase "not dated" instead of the year of publication.
