JOURNAL OF MOLLUSCAN STUDIES

Instructions for the Preparation of Manuscripts

Submission

Papers are considered on the understanding that their substance is not already published or being offered for publication elsewhere.

Manuscripts should be submitted by email to the Editor (to email: jmollstud@nhm.ac.uk ), but subsequent correspondence may be with an Associate Editor. Receipt will be acknowledged. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed before publication and authors are asked to suggest three independent potential referees for their work.

The initial submission should include both a Microsoft Word document (text and tables only) and a PDF file less than 10 MB in size (including text, tables, figures and supplementary material). Text should be formatted with continuous page and line numbers. Following acceptance, final submission should consist of a copy of all text material in Word and individual high-resolution electronic figures (see below for format).

Contributors are asked to follow these instructions closely. Failure to comply will cause delay and may lead to the return of the manuscript.

General Presentation

Papers should be written in clear, concise English. Sentences should not begin with abbreviations or numerals.

The first page of the manuscript should consist of: title (upper and lower case); authors' names (upper and lower case) and their full postal address(es) (italics); short running head (capitals); footnote with name and email address of corresponding author.

This should be followed by: Abstract (on separate page); main text; Acknowledgements; Authors’ Contributions (optional); References; tables with captions (each table on a separate page); and figure captions.

Hierarchy of headings should not normally exceed two: main headings (centred, capitals) and subsidiary headings (on the left, in italics). Do not number headings; avoid footnotes.

The main text should normally consist of: Introduction; Material and Methods; Results (or Systemic Descriptions); Discussion. Methodology must comply with national regulations governing experiments on living animals.

In the Acknowledgements external sources of funding for the costs of research and publication should be listed. Where appropriate, authors may also wish to acknowledge intellectual input from others (including reviewers), collection permits, research permissions and other forms of assistance.

Tables should be presented on separate pages, numbered with Arabic numerals and with the title (in the format: ' Table 1. List of localities.') at the top of the page. They should be referred to as 'Table 1', etc. in the text.

Abbreviations for statistical parameters include: P , n , SD, SE, df, ns.

Supplementary Material

Supporting material that is not essential for inclusion in the full text of the manuscript, but would nevertheless benefit the reader, can be made available by the publisher, linked to the online manuscript.

The material should not be essential to understanding the conclusions of the paper, but should contain data that are additional or complementary and directly relevant to the article content. Such information might include more detailed methods, extended data sets/data analysis, or additional figures.

All text and figures must be provided in suitable electronic formats. All material to be considered as Supplementary Material must be submitted at the same time as the main manuscript for peer review. It cannot be altered or replaced after the paper has been accepted for publication. Please indicate clearly the material intended as Supplementary Material upon submission. Also ensure that the Supplementary Data are referred to in the main manuscript where necessary.

Tables should be titled ‘Table S1, S2’, etc. Figures should be titled ‘Figure S1, S2’, etc. Supplementary Material should be referred to in the main text as ‘Supplementary Material’; if a specific figure or table is being referred to this should be indicated as  ‘Supplementary Material Figure SX’ or ‘Supplementary Material Table SX’, where ‘X’ is the figure number (e.g. Figure S1).

Nomenclature and Systematic Descriptions

Italicize the names of genera, subgenera and species, but not those of higher taxa. When first mentioned, specific names that are the subject of the research should include the authority and date. Descriptions of new taxa and taxonomic revisions must comply with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN; https://www.iczn.org). New taxa and nomenclatural acts should be registered with ZooBank (http://zoobank.org).

Headings for all taxonomic categories in taxonomic papers should be centred and in bold (including authorities and 'new species', etc.).

Subsidiary headings for taxonomic descriptions should be to the left and in italics, with text continuing on same line [e.g. ' Anatomy (Figs 2, 3): . . .']. They should optimally include, in the following order: [Synonymy] this does not require a heading; Types; Etymology (for new taxa); Material examined; Diagnosis; Description (or separate headings for Shell, Radula, Anatomy, etc.); Distribution; Remarks.
