Submission guidelines
Instructions for authors
General information
The Journal of Ethology is an official publication of the Japan Ethological Society. Publication in the journal is open to any person, regardless of membership status. However, members of the society enjoy various advantages.
Four types of papers are accepted by the editors: reviews, video articles, articles, and short communications. Short communications should appear more quickly than other papers in printed journals. A video article should be an original paper that contains a video image of animal behavior. ESM video clips (see below) are accessible by journal subscribers, whereas video clips of a video article ensure open access at the independent website MOMO (Make Our Movies Open: http://www.momo-p.com/index-e.html). MOMO is an electronic library of videos of animal behavior, managed by the Japan Ethological Society and other collaborators from various scientific societies. Please refer to the Video submission guidelines.
The Journal of Ethology requires that all datasets on which the conclusions of the paper rely be made available to readers. The data, where possible and applicable, should be uploaded as 'Supplementary Material (electronic supplemental material)' when submitting the manuscript. Alternatively, authors may either deposit data in publicly accessible repositories or make them available to readers upon request. Information on where the data can be found should be included as a Data Availability Statement at the end of the text (for further information, please refer to the "Research data policy" section below).
Video submission guidelines
Page length
The maximum recommended length of a review, an article (including a video article), and a short communication is 16, 8, and 4 printed pages, respectively. These limits approximately correspond to 10,000, 5,000, and 2,500 words (excluding tables and figures), respectively. At manuscript submission in Editorial Manager, authors are required to state the number of words contained in their manuscript.
Manuscript submission
Authors should submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times. Please connect directly to the site and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.
http://www.editorialmanager.com/jeth
Authors who are submitting a manuscript online for the first time should read the Author Tutorial on the Editorial Manager site.
Together with the manuscript, authors should submit a cover letter. A cover letter should provide the following information.
(1) Explanation of any overlap with other articles published or in press in journals, books or conference proceedings, or in preparation. The Journal of Ethology will not consider submissions that have been published elsewhere.
(2) A statement that all coauthors know that this manuscript has been submitted for publication.Authors may suggest preferred or nonpreferred reviewers. Note, however, that the final designation of reviewers is at the discretion of the Editors.
Manuscripts that are returned to the authors for revision should be submitted within three months of receipt; otherwise the revised manuscript may be regarded as a new submission.

Copyright
Authors transfer the copyright to their articles to the Japan Ethological Society. The copyright covers the exclusive and unlimited rights to reproduce and distribute an article in any form of reproduction (printing, electronic media, or any other form); the copyright also covers translation rights for all languages and countries. For U.S. authors, the copyright is transferred to the extent transferable.
Manuscript preparation
Manuscripts must be written in English. In MS-Word files the text should be double-spaced with 3-cm margins and set in A4 size, and lines should be numbered consecutively through the entire text. Pages should also be numbered consecutively and arranged in the following order:
Title page (including title of paper; the names and affiliations of all authors; total text pages; numbers of tables and figures; the e-mail address, telephone number(s) of the corresponding author; and the 16-digit ORCID of the author(s), if available)
Abstract (no more than 100 words for short communications and 200 words for other papers)
Five to eight Key words
Text, divided into the following sections, Introduction, Study area (if necessary), Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, Data availability statement, References, tables, and figure legends. Figures should be prepared in separate files, not pasted into text pages.
Authors should consult recent issues for details of style and presentation. Genus and species names should be in italics.
For revised manuscripts, two versions of the main text should be submitted: (1) a first file including highlighted/tracked changes and (2) a second file including a clean version. Authors should also upload a list of responses to the reviewer comments.
References
References should be cited in the text by the author and year. The reference list at the end of the paper should include only works cited in the text and should be arranged alphabetically by the name of the first author. Citations of "unpublished results" or papers "in preparation" should be included in the text but not in the reference list.
References should be cited as follows: journal papers — names and initials of all authors, year in parentheses, full title, journal as abbreviated in accordance with international practice, volume number, first and last page numbers; books — names and initials of all authors, year, chapter title, names and initials of all editors, full title, edition, publisher, place of publication.
Example of a journal paper in the reference list:
Tanaka T, Hashimoto H, Tanida H, Yoshimoto T (1995) Studies on the visual acuity of sheep using shape discrimination learning. J Ethol 13:69-75
When citing articles that have been published only online, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the cited literature should be added at the end of the reference in question.
Randler C (2007) Risk assessment by crow phenotypes in a hybrid zone. J Ethol. doi: 10.1007/s10164-007-0062-z
Example of a book:
Hölldobler B, Wilson EO (1990) The ants. Springer, Berlin
Example of a chapter in a book:
Noirot C (1992) Sexual castes and reproductive strategies in termites. In: Engels W (ed) Social insects. Springer, Berlin, pp 5-35
Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic data rests entirely with the author.
Tables and figures
Tables must be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals and should have a title explaining any abbreviation used in that table. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters.
Illustrations must be restricted to the minimum needed to clarify the text. All figures (photographs, graphs or diagrams) should be cited in the text, and numbered consecutively throughout. Figure parts should be identified by lower-case roman letters (a, b, etc.). If illustrations are supplied with uppercase labeling, lower-case letters will still be used in the figure legends and citations.
Figure legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the illustrations. The legends should be placed at the end of the text.
Size of figures
The figures, including legends, should either match the column width (84 mm) or the print area of 174 × 234 mm. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge illustrations.
Line drawings
Inscriptions should be legible, with initial capital letters and appropriately scaled to the size of the drawing. Vector graphics stored in EPS, with a preview in TIFF, is the preferred format. Fonts used in the vector graphics must be included. Please do not draw with hairlines. The minimum line width is 0.2 mm (i.e., 0.567 pt) relative to the final size. Scanned line drawings should be digitized with a resolution of 800 dpi relative to the final figure size.
Halftone illustrations (black and white and color)
Magnification should be indicated by scale bars. For scanned halftone illustrations, a resolution of 300 dpi is usually sufficient. TIFF is the preferred file format.
Color illustrations
Save color illustrations as RGB (8 bits per channel) in TIFF format.
Artwork Guidelines
Electronic Supplementary Material
Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM) for a paper will be published in the electronic edition of this journal provided the material is:
submitted in electronic form together with the manuscript
accepted after peer review
ESM may consist of:
information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings (use QuickTime, .avi, .mpeg, animated GIFs, or any other common file format)
information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.
large quantities of original data that relate to the paper, e.g. additional tables, large numbers of illustrations (color and black & white), etc.
Legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the ESM. ESM is to be numbered and referred to as S1, S2, etc.
After acceptance for publication, ESM will be published as received from the author in the online version only. Reference will be given in the printed version.
