Address of author/s
In the same language of the article. If different from English, an English summary is also required.
A few words, other than those appearing in the title, descibing the content of the paper.
Start text on the same page using 12 font throughout; type text
at spacing and a half with good margins; indent each paragraph five
spaces.
Original articles in the field of nematology are invited. They
can be written in English, French, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish.
Latin phrases and taxonomic names of plants and animals should be italicised.
Latin names of species should be spelled out in full on the first
occasion and should be followed by the authority. Where there is more
than one authority, use the conjunction et. Whenever the same
binomial nomenclature is repeated in the text, only the initial letter
of the genus name should be given and the authority omitted.
The first letter of current names of
plants should be capitalized when they stand for the species as a
whole. When individuals or groups of individuals within the species are
considered, small letters should be used.. Names of cultivated
varieties should be indicated by cv. following the current, or latin,
name of the botanical species. When the abbreviation cv. is written
first, no quotation marks should be used.
Tables and illustrations should be kept
to the minimum necessary for clear presentation and each submitted on a
separate sheet. They are referred to in the text as (Table I), (Fig.
1), etc.. Decimal points should be used to indicate decimal fractions,
e.g. 0.8 g, eight decigrams. Groups of three figures are separated by
commas (e.g. 1,000 one thousand). Measurement quantities should be
expressed by figures, e.g. 10 kg/ha, 8 µg, etc.. Numbers up to twenty
should be expressed in words, e.g. twelve paratype females, four pots,
etc..
Articles will be accepted, subject to
approval by the Editorial Committee who will refer to specialists as
required.
Articles must be submitted in duplicate
and if accepted an electronic version should also be provided, which
will go to the printer; no galley proofs will be sent to authors.
Author/s should be listed in alphabetical
order. Names of periodicals must be spelled out in full and italicized, e.g. Nematologia Mediterranea, 10: 5-12.
Papers by the same Author should be
listed chronologically. Except for the first, those published in the
same year should be distinguished by the letters a, b, c as for
example: 1987, 1987a, 1987b, etc..
Lines following the first one should be indented some spaces.
