NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY
Author Instructions
GENERAL
The New Zealand Journal of Ecology publishes papers on any aspect of pure and applied ecology. Emphasis is on the New Zealand region but information of general interest from anywhere else in the world will be considered for publication. Work published or offered for publication elsewhere cannot be accepted. All papers become the copyright of the New Zealand Ecological Society.
Page charges are NZ$40.00 per page, waived in exceptional circumstances on application to the Scientific Editor. Society members are levied a concessionary rate of $25 per page for the first ten pages per year.
TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS
Four types of manuscripts are considered:
Review Articles. These are critical overviews of topics likely to be of general interest to the readership of the Journal. Prospective authors considering writing such an article should contact the Scientific Editor in advance with a brief proposed outline. Maximum length is 20 printed pages (ca 17500 words, including references, tables and captions).
Research Articles. These are conventional research papers. Most research articles are less than 10 pages (ca 7500 words, including references, tables and captions); however, longer papers will be considered.
Short Communications. These are shorter research papers and have a maximum length of 5 printed pages (ca 3500 words, including references, tables and captions) .
Forum Articles. These include discussion articles about topical issues, opinion pieces, and rejoinders to previous papers published in the Journal and elsewhere. Maximum length is 12 printed pages (ca 8000 words, including references, tables and captions).
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Submit a copy of the manuscript, in English, double spaced, with ample margins, each page numbered, and lines numbered continuously throughout the manuscript, through the New Zealand Journal of Ecology Scholastica portal, using the link below. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically and should include all figures and tables in a single document. Microsoft Word documents are preferred (so that reviewers can make comments using ‘track changes’); PDF format is acceptable as an alternative. Further submission and style instructions can be found on the Scholastica page. Any enquiries should be directed to the Scientific Editor.
PROCESSING OF ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPTS
When a manuscript is entirely acceptable, the Technical Editor will request an electronic version of the manuscript with figures formatted as JPEG or TIFF files. Page proofs will subsequently be sent by email to the author for checking.
It is the author’s responsibility a) to keep the Technical Editor informed of changes in address, and b) to make arrangements for colleagues to correct proofs if the author is likely to be absent when the proofs are to be dispatched. When proofs are not received back from an author within an adequate time frame the manuscript will be published without the author’s corrections.
