Before You Begin
Ethics in Publishing
For
information on Ethics in Publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal
publication see http://www.elsevier.com/publishingethics and
http://www.elsevier.com/ethicalguidelines.
Conflict of interest
All
authors are requested to disclose any actual or potential conflict of
interest including any financial, personal or other relationships with
other people or organizations within three years of beginning the
submitted work that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to
influence, their work. See also
http://www.elsevier.com/conflictsofinterest.
Submission declaration
Submission
of an article implies that the work described has not been published
previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published
lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for
publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors
and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work
was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published
elsewhere including electronically in the same form, in English or in
any other language, without the written consent of the copyright-holder.
Changes to authorship
This policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:
Before
the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to
add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent
to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted
manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added or
removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation
(e-mail, fax, letter) from all authors that they agree with the
addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal
of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or
removed. Requests that are not sent by the corresponding author will be
forwarded by the Journal Manager to the corresponding author, who must
follow the procedure as described above. Note that: (1) Journal Managers
will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests and (2)
publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended
until authorship has been agreed.
After
the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Any requests
to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published in an
online issue will follow the same policies as noted above and result in a
corrigendum.
Copyright
Upon
acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a ‘Journal
Publishing Agreement’. Acceptance of the agreement will ensure the
widest possible dissemination of information. An e-mail will be sent to
the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript together
with a ‘Journal Publishing Agreement’ form or a link to the online
version of this agreement.
Permission
of the society is required for resale or distribution outside the
institution and for all other derivative works, including compilations
and translations (please consult bianji@mail.kib.ac.cn or
linnana@mail.kib.ac.cn). If excerpts from other copyrighted works are
included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the
copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article.
Author rights
As
an author you (or your employer or institution) have certain rights to
reuse your work. For more information on author rights please see
https://www.elsevier.com/copyright.
Role of the funding source
You
are requested to identify who provided financial support for the
conduct of the research and/or preparation of the article and to briefly
describe the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the
collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing of the
report; and in the decision to submit the paper for publication. If the
funding source(s) had no such involvement then this should be stated.
Please see http://www.elsevier.com/funding.
Open access
Every
peer-reviewed research article appearing in this journal will be
published open access. This means that the article is universally and
freely accessible via the internet in perpetuity, in an easily readable
format immediately after publication. The author does not have any
publication charges for open access.
A
CC user license manages the reuse of the article (see
http://www.elsevier.com/openaccesslicenses). All articles will be
published under the following license:
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (CC BY-NC-ND)
non-commercial purposes, lets others distribute and copy the article,
and to include in a collective work (such as an anthology), as long as
they credit the author(s) and provided they do not alter or modify the
article.
Language and language services
write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted,
but not a mixture of these). Authors who require information about
language editing and copyediting services pre- and post-submission
please visit http://webshop.elsevier.com/languageediting or our customer
support site at http://support.elsevier.com for more information.
to this journal proceeds totally online. Use the following guidelines
to prepare your article. Via the homepage of this journal
(http://www.keaipublishing.com/en/journals/plant-diversity) you will be
guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files.
The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe
Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peerreview
process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are
converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source
files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All
correspondence, including notification of the Editor’s decision and
requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the author’s
homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail. If you are
unable to provide an electronic version, please contact the editorial
office prior to submission e-mail: linnana@mail.kib.ac.cn ; telephone:
86-0871-65223032; or fax: 86-0871-65223032.
Additional Information
Tables
and figures may be presented with captions within the main body of the
manuscript; if so, figures should additionally be uploaded as high
resolution files.
Preparation
Peer review
This
journal operates a single blind review process. All contributions are
sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the
scientific quality of the paper. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for
the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The
Editor’s decision is final. For more information on the types of peer
review, please visit: https://www.elsevier.com/reviewers/peer-review.
Use of wordprocessing software
It
is important that the file be saved in the native format of the
wordprocessor used. The text should be in singlecolumn format. Keep the
layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be
removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not
use the wordprocessor’s options to justify text or to hyphenate words.
However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. When
preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for
each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used,
use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. The electronic text should be
prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts (see
also the Guide to Publishing with Elsevier:
http://www.elsevier.com/guidepublication). Note that source files of
figures, tables and text graphics will be required whether or not you
embed your figures in the text. See also the section on Electronic
illustrations.
To
avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the
“spell-check” and “grammar-check” functions of your wordprocessor.
LaTeX
If
the LaTeX file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying
the text. The article should preferably be written using Elsevier’s
document class “elsarticle”, or alternatively any of the other
recognized classes and formats supported in Elsevier’s electronic
submissions system, for further information see
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authors
view.authors/latex-ees-supported.
The
Elsevier “elsarticle” LaTeX style file package (including detailed
instructions for LaTeX preparation) can be obtained from the Quickguide:
http://www.elsevier.com/latex. It consists of the file: elsarticle.cls,
complete user documentation for the class file, bibliographic style
files in various styles, and template files for a quick start.
Article structure
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide
your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections
should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract
is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for
internal crossreferencing: do not just refer to “the text”. Any
subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on
its own separate line.
State
the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding
a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Material and methods
Provide
sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already
published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant
modifications should be described.
Theory/calculation
Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article
already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for
further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical
development from a theoretical basis.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat
them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate.
Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
Conclusions
main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions
section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or
Results and Discussion section.
Authors’ contribution
Conceived and designed the experiments:*****
Performed the experiments:****
Analyzed the data:****
Contributed reagents/materials/analysis tools:****
Appendices
there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B,
etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate
numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq.
(B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1,
etc.
Preparation of manuscripts
manuscript files, MS Word (.doc) format is preferred. Include all parts
of the text of the paper in a single file. Use double-space, continuous
pagination and line numbering throughout the manuscript, to facilitate
review commenting. Leave at least a 2.5-cm margin on all sides. Number
figures and tables in the order discussed in the text. Plants must be
defined by taxonomic names and authority.
cover page should include Title of the article, Abstract and Key words.
All authors of a manuscript should include their full names,
affiliations and email addresses on the cover page of the manuscript.
One author should be identified as the corresponding author. The
corresponding author must be authorized by all co-authors to act as an
agent on their behalf in all matters pertaining to publication of the
manuscript, and the order of names should be agreed by all authors.
Acknowledgements should briefly give credit to other people who have
made a contribution to the study, and list the relevant grants that
funded the study.
manuscript should be divided into the following sections in general:
Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion,
Acknowledgements, References, Tables, Figures, Appendices.
and figures should appear after the main text. Captions should appear
with their respective table or figure. Footnotes for tables should be
given below the table. The tables must be as simple as possible, with
few horizontal and, preferably, no vertical rules. The photographs
should be grouped into one or more plates.
Literature cited
In
the text, cite references chronologically, but do not number them. Use
“and” to link the names of two coauthors in the text (Smith and Wright,
1989) and use “et al.” Where there are more than three (Smith et al.,
2000). At the end of the paper, list references in alphabetical order.
References should be listed according to the examples below:

We
recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for
reference management and formatting
(http://journal.kib.ac.cn/UserFiles/File/Plant%20Diversity(1).rar).
Essential title page information
•
Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in
information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where
possible.
Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous
(e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the
authors’ affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below
the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript
letter immediately after the author’s name and in front of the
appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each
affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail
address of each author.
Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence
at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication.
Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are
provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal
address. Contact details must be kept up to date by the corresponding
author.
Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work
described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a
“Present address” (or “Permanent address”) may be indicated as a
footnote to that author’s name. The address at which the author actually
did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address.
Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract
concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state
briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major
conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article,
so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should
be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also,
non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if
essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract
itself.
Keywords
Authors are invited to submit keywords associated with their paper.
Abbreviations
Define
abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be
placed on the first page of the article. Such abbreviations that are
unavoidable in the abstract must be defined at their first mention
there, as well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations
throughout the article.
Acknowledgements
Collate
acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before
the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page,
as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who
provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help,
writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
Nomenclature and units
Follow
internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international
system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their
equivalent in SI. Authors wishing to present a table of nomenclature
should do so on the second page of their manuscript.
Math formulae
Present
simple formulae in the line of normal text where possible and use the
solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms,
e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics.
Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number
consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from
the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).
Footnotes
should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the
article, using superscript Arabic numbers. Many wordprocessors build
footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Should this not
be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and present
the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not
include footnotes in the Reference list.
Table footnotes
Indicate each footnote in a table with a superscript lowercase letter.
Artwork
Electronic artwork
General points
• Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
• Save text in illustrations as “graphics” or enclose the font.
• Only use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Times, Symbol.
• Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
• Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files.
• Provide captions to illustrations separately.
• Produce images near to the desired size of the printed version.
• Submit each figure as a separate file.
A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our website: http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions
You are urged to visit this site; some excerpts from the detailed information are given here.
Formats
Regardless
of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalised,
please “save as” or convert the images to one of the following formats
(note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and
line/halftone combinations given below):
EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as “graphics”.
TIFF: color or grayscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi.
TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.
If your electronic artwork is created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) then please supply “as is”.
Please do not:
• Supply files that are optimised for screen use (like GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); the resolution is too low;
• Supply files that are too low in resolution;
• Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.
Color artwork
make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF, EPS or
MS Office files) and with the correct resolution. If, together with your
accepted article, you submit usable color figures then Elsevier will
ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color
on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether
or not these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed
version.
Figure captions
Ensure
that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not
attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on
the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in
the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and
abbreviations used.
Number
tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text.
Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with
superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the
use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not
duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.
References
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also
present
in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the
abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal
communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be
mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference
list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and
should include a substitution of the publication date with either
“Unpublished results” or “Personal communication” Citation of a
reference as “in press” implies that the item has been accepted for
publication.
Web references
a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference
was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author
names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be
given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the
reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included
in the reference list.
References in a special issue
ensure that the words ‘this issue’ are added to any references in the
list (and any citations in the text) to other articles in the same
Special Issue.
Reference management software
journal has standard templates available in key reference management
packages EndNote (http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp) and
Reference Manager (http://refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp). Using
plug-ins to wordprocessing packages, authors only need to select the
appropriate journal template when preparing their article and the list
of references and citations to these will be formatted according to the
journal style which is described below.
Reference style
Text: All citations in the text should refer to:
1. Single author: the author’s name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
2. Two authors: both authors’ names and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author’s name followed by “et al.” and the year of publication.
Citations
may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should
be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically.
Examples: “as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown ....”
List:
References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further
sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the
same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters “a”,
“b”, “c”, etc., placed after the year of publication.
Examples:
Reference to a journal publication:
Van der Geer, J., Hanraads, J.A.J., Lupton, R.A., 2000. The art of writing a scientific article. J. Sci. Commun. 163, 51–59.

After Acceptence
Use of the Digital Object Identifier
Digital Object Identifier (DOI) may be used to cite and link to
electronic documents. The DOI consists of a unique alpha-numeric
character string which is assigned to a document by the publisher upon
the initial electronic publication. The assigned DOI never changes.
Therefore, it is an ideal medium for citing a document, particularly
‘Articles in press’ because they have not yet received their full
bibliographic information. The correct format for citing a DOI is shown
as follows (example taken from a document in the journal Physics Letters
B): doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2010.09.059
When you use the DOI to create URL hyperlinks to documents on the web, they are guaranteed never to change.
Proofs
One
set of page proofs (as PDF files) will be sent by e-mail to the
corresponding author (if we do not have an e-mail address then paper
proofs will be sent by post) or, a link will be provided in the e-mail
so that authors can download the files themselves. Elsevier now provides
authors with PDF proofs which can be annotated; for this you will need
to download Adobe Reader version 7 (or higher) available free from
http://get.adobe.com/reader. Instructions on how to annotate PDF files
will accompany the proofs (also given online). The exact system
requirements are given at the Adobe site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/
systemreqs.
you do not wish to use the PDF annotations function, you may list the
corrections (including replies to the Query Form) and return them to
Elsevier in an e-mail. Please list your corrections quoting line number.
If, for any reason, this is not possible, then mark the corrections and
any other comments (including replies to the Query Form) on a printout
of your proof and return by fax, or scan the pages and e-mail, or by
post. Please use this proof only for checking the typesetting, editing,
completeness and correctness of the text, tables and figures.
Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only
be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor. We will do
everything possible to get your article published quickly and
accurately – please let us have all your corrections within 48 hours. It
is important to ensure that all corrections are sent back to us in one
communication: please check carefully before replying, as inclusion of
any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofreading is solely
your responsibility. Note that Elsevier may proceed with the publication
of your article if no response is received.
Offprints
corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of
the article via e-mail. For an extra charge, paper offprints can be
ordered via the offprint order form which is sent once the article is
accepted for publication. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the
published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover
image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use.
More information about article offprint is available here:
http://webshop.elsevier.com/
