JOURNAL OF GENETICS
GENERAL. Journal of Genetics covers all areas of genetics and
evolution, but a contribution must have one of these subjects as its focus and be of interest to geneticists for acceptability. Papers not explicitly genetical, but addressing evolutionary issues of interest to geneticists can also be considered for publication. All contributions undergo editorial and peer review. Colour illustrations are printed free of charge. PDF files of all published articles are downloadable free of charge from the open access journal website (http://www.ias.ac.in/jgenet) for academic purposes.
CATEGORIES OF MANUSCRIPT. Journal of Genetics will consider full length research articles, short research notes, research commentaries and hypothesis pieces. Review articles, book or software reviews, obituaries and essays of a more general nature on ideas and trends in genetics and evolution (perspective or viewpoint pieces) will typically be solicited; prospective authors of such contributions are encouraged to contact the editors with a brief proposal prior to submission.
Research article: The regular full-length article, reporting results of original research; no word / reference / display item limit; should include an abstract of about 250 words.
Research note: A brief report (less than 2000 words text; up to two figures or tables; up to 20 references) on an interesting, somewhat preliminary result; no abstract; the first paragraph should be a summary of note in about 100–150 words.
Research commentary: A brief summary (less than 3000 words text; up to two figures or tables; up to 20 references) of recently published paper(s) on a common theme of some general interest, placing the work discussed in a broader context; no abstract.
Hypothesis: A brief description (less than 2500 words text; up to two figures or tables; up to 20 references) of a new hypothesis, or speculative idea; no abstract.
Viewpoint: A brief comment ; (less than 2500 words text; up to two figures or tables; up to 20 references) on issues in genetics research or education, technological applications of genetics, or the history of genetics and its impact on society; no abstract.
Correspondence: A brief comment/critique on a paper recently published in Journal of Genetics (less than 2500 words text; up to two figures or tables; up to 20 references); no abstract. Authors of the original paper will be invited to submit a response.
Review article: No word / reference / display item limit; should include an abstract of less than 300 words.
Perspectives: A general article looking at some major issue in genetics research or education, technological applications of genetics, or the history of genetics and its impact on society; no word / reference / display item limit; should include abstract of less than 300 words.
Obituary: No word limit.
Book/software/website review: No word limit.
Online resources: Brief reports of the development and/or routine use of molecular markers for assessing genetic variability within and among species, as well as reports outlining useful pedagogical approaches/methods in genetics teaching, or development/modification of software that could be useful in genetics research or teaching (less than 2500 words text; less than 25 references; no abstract; no upper limit on the number of display items). Papers accepted under this category will only appear online, with a listing of titles of papers appearing online during the preceding four months in each print issue.
SUBMISSION. Submitted manuscripts must not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Moreover, submission to Journal of Genetics will be deemed to imply that the manuscript will not be submitted elsewhere if accepted. The decision of the editors is final in the matter of acceptability for publication.
