Author Guidelines
General presentation of the manuscripts
Manuscripts must be written in English in a clear and concise way. The manuscript should be presented with 1.5 spaced lines, with page and line numbering, and should include all tables and figures. It should be written in a readable, common font, such as Arial or Calibri with a size bigger than 10, and respect the international codes. For example, each species should be mentioned in italics, and the authority (author’s name and date) should be indicated at the first occurrence of the species name in the text. Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum, defined upon first appearance in the text and must appear at least three times in the text. A list of all non-standard abbreviations (with definitions) in alphabetical order may be mentioned at the beginning of the manuscript. Dates should appear in the day-month-year format. Measurements shall be metric and use the SI conventions for abbreviations and units. The initial submission of a manuscript is in the form of a single electronic file. Manuscripts will be evaluated by at least two referees. All manuscript submitted to the CBM-Cahiers de Biologie Marine should include a title page and an abstract, as described below.
The title page should contain an informative title, the first name, the surname in capital letters and the affiliation and postal address of each author. Only the email address of the corresponding author should be mentioned. A running title, of no more than 35 characters including spaces, for page headings must be provided.
Titles encapsulating the main advance (such as ‘Inter-annual freshwater inflow induces shifts on the community structure of estuarine decapods') are preferred over less informative general titles (such as 'Characterization of...', 'Diversity of...', 'A study of…’).
An English Abstract and a French Résumé, not exceeding 200 words, should appear after the title page of the manuscript. They shall summarize the contents and clearly give the conclusions of the paper. The French Résumé will be reviewed or written by the editors if needed. A list of up to six English keywords must be proposed.
Authors not mastering the English language are encouraged to have their manuscript professionally reviewed by a native speaker before submission.
Article formats in the CBM-Cahiers de Biologie Marine
To submit a manuscript, you must choose a format of article and specify it in the cover letter (see below). There are three formats accepted in CBM-Cahiers de Biologie Marine:
Format
Maximum number of pages*
Maximum number of figures/tables
Maximum number of references
Short Note 4 2 20
Regular Research Article 20 10 40
Review Article 40 20 50
* Number of pages with 1,5 line spacing
Short notes
Short notes must be written in a compact form, without sections, in order to deliver a clear and concise result or observation. After the title page and the abstracts, the sections of a short note include an introduction, a methodological section and a combined ‘Results & Discussion’ section.
Simple reports of known species must be written in the ‘short note’ format and must clearly provide new findings on the ecology of the species. Short notes will appear at the end of each issue of the CBM-Cahiers de Biologie Marine.
Regular Research Articles
This is the classical format of research articles. After the title page and the abstracts, the text of the manuscript shall be organized as follows:
The Introduction must place the focus of the manuscript into a broader context. Classically, an introduction raises interesting scientific questions elaborated from the review of the current knowledge. As you compose the introduction, think of readers who are not experts in the field.
The Materials and Methods section must provide enough detail for reproduction of the experiments and/or analyses. Submit detailed protocols for newer or less established methods. Well-established protocols may be simply referenced. The section should be divided into subsections, each with a concise and informative subheading. The Material and Methods section should be written in past tense.
The Results section must describe the results that are required to support the conclusions of the paper, including information on the number of replicates (if relevant to ensure replicability) and the statistics. The section should be divided into subsections, each with a concise and informative subheading. The Results section should be written in past tense.
The Discussion must spell out the major conclusions and interpretations of the work including explanations of the significance of the work. How do the conclusions affect the existing assumptions and models in the field? How can future research build on these observations? What are the key experiments that remain to be done? The Discussion should be concise and tightly argued. If warranted, the Results and Discussion may be combined into one section.
A concise Acknowledgments section must end the text of the manuscript. Those who contributed to the work but are not included in the authorship should be listed with a short description of their contribution. Funding sources should be acknowledged in this section.
Review Articles
This format is designed to bring to the attention of our readership the state-of-the-art of a given topic and new developments and/or concepts. Review articles are selective in scope, focused and concise, rather than being comprehensive or entirely historical. They may be somewhat speculative to provoke interesting discussions and stimulate creative experimentation. There is no strict format for reviews, but they must include at least an Abstract/Résumé, Introduction, and Concluding Remarks, which bracket the main text. Literature citations should be balanced but not exhaustive.
References
References should be cited in the text by the name of the author(s) followed by the year of publication, for all article formats. When there are two authors, give both names (e.g. Zeng & Swalla, 2005). If there are more than two authors, the first author should be followed by et al. (e.g. Grabriele et al., 1999). References in the text list must be alphabetically ordered, with the names of all authors, the year of publication and the full title of the paper. The journal title, in italics, must be given in full name. References to books must include the publisher and place of publication (city and country). The DOI must be added to the reference if it exists. Accepted references include peer-reviewed articles, published PhD theses, books, book chapters and official reports presenting certified data. Authors should use the format of citing references illustrated below:

Figures, tables and Supplementary material
Figures must be numbered with consecutive Arabic numbers and referred to as Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc… in the text. Subfigures, which may compose a figure, must be labelled with capital letters (A, B, C, etc.). A descriptive caption, written in English, must accompany each illustration. All figures will be reduced to a size not exceeding 85 mm width (single column figure) or 175 mm width (double column figure) x 224 mm. Tables must be less than 175 x 227 mm (that is, one published page). If bigger, the tables must be brought to a supplementary material section (see below).
For the initial submission, all figures and tables should be gathered at the end of the manuscript, just after the list of captions for each figure and table.
If the article is accepted for publication, the figures will be then requested in JPEG or TIFF formats (minimum 300 dpi resolution, width 85 or 175 mm). Make sure that all the labelling is large enough for reading the figures after size reduction. Tables will be requested in Excel spreadsheet (.xls or .xlsx) formats.
Supplementary material (videos, tables, figures, text etc…) may be submitted along with the main manuscript and should be then gathered in a separate file. It may be organized as a list of figures/tables with their detailed caption (see instructions above), and possibly divided in different sections. All the material mentioned in this section must be cited in the main text of the manuscript. The supplementary material will be downloadable separately from the manuscript.
Cover Letter
The cover letter should concisely present the study and address the following questions: What are the scientific questions addressed? What are the key findings that answer these questions? What significance do the results have for the field?
The corresponding author must specify the format article and explicitly state in the cover letter that the content and authorship of the submitted manuscript has been approved by all authors, and that normal scientific ethical practices have been respected. Authors are reminded that plagiarism is illegal. Failure to respect these norms will result in immediate rejection of the manuscript.
In the cover letter, the authors are asked to suggest three referees, with their contact information, qualified to review the manuscript. The authors should not nominate close colleagues, co-workers, and should not have published any study with the proposed referee for less than 4 years.
Submission (one cover letter file, one manuscript file and possibly a supplementary material file) and any correspondence should be addressed to Professor Dominique Davoult, CBM-Cahiers de Biologie Marine, email: CBM@sb-roscoff.fr
