Authors Guide

Asian

Herpetological Research (AHR), an international journal, is published

quarterly by the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of

Sciences (CIB), and Science Press in cooperation with the Asiatic

Herpetological Research Society (AHRS). The scope of the journal

includes all contemporary herpetological research areas including

taxonomy, morphology, phylogeny, systematics, evolution, zoogeography,

physiology, ecology, toxicology and conservation biology of amphibians

and reptiles.

The

principal criteria of AHR for acceptance of articles for publication

are the quality and significance of the research, novelty and interest

of the work to the readership, and clarity and effectiveness of

communication. AHR welcomes submission of manuscripts from authors in

all countries of the world, though with a focus on the herpetological

studies in the Asian and Pacific regions including original articles,

reviews and short notes.

Original

articles report the results of original research that should contribute

new information to the knowledge base in the field, not just confirm

previously published work. Reviews can be invited or unsolicited that

should be contemporary and comprehensive, and add information to

published reviews on the same topic. Short notes are concise, but

independent reports that represent a significant contribution to

herpetology. They include a maximum of 4 references.

All

submitted manuscripts, except invited reviews, will be peer reviewed by

two or more international specialists, whose advice and suggestions

will form the basis of the editors’ final decisions. It is recommended

that authors who might not be familiar with the English language seek

the advice of a native English speaking specialist before submission in

order to insure that the narrative is clear, concise and written in

standard English. Manuscripts not meeting this criterion will not be

accepted for review.

Molecular

data generated from research projects and submitted to AHR must also be

deposited at a recognized archive, such as GenBank, and the accession

numbers must be provided in the Results section of the manuscript.

Furthermore, holotype and secondary types of taxa described in AHR as

new to science should be deposited in national or international research

institutes.

All

manuscripts must be submitted to AHR via on-line Manuscript Submission

System (https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/ahr). For manuscript

submission, a single file including all text, tables, figures and

references in Word Format is preferred, although attachment of separate

files in MSWord, text, jpeg, tiff or other commonly used file formats is

acceptable. If an acknowledgement by email is not received within 3–5

working days, please contact the Editorial Office.

The following items should be provided for each manuscript and arranged in the order below:

Manuscript title page with names of author(s) and institution (s)

Abstract (no longer than 300 words)

Keywords (5–8, ideally not appearing in the title)

Manuscript text; Tables; Figures; Acknowledgements

References (with one or two authors corresponding to those in the text)

Brief

description of the corresponding author not to exceed 100 words

(including his professional titles, research areas and post address)

Figures

and tables should be submitted either as separate files or separated

from the narrative. Do not embed figures within the manuscript text.

A

cover letter should accompany the manuscript. Contact information for

authors and suggested reviewers (if needed) should be provided in the

letter.

Format:The manuscript must be arranged in the following format, or it will be returned to authors without review.

Cover page:This page must contain the title of the manuscript, names and affiliations of authors, contact infor

-mation for the corresponding author, running head, manu-script type, and brief information of the corresponding author.

Text:Lines

must be numbered with the abstract as the first page. Text should be

double-spaced and left justified. All measurements must be presented in

metric units. Abbreviations (except for common ones pertaining to

measurement, time, or statistical tests) must be spelled out fully the

first time they appear with the abbreviations in parentheses. Footnotes

(other than in tables) are not permitted. Generic and specific names

(and nothing else except secondary headings, genetic loci, and some

statistical abbreviations) are italicized. Taxonomic authorship should

be used only when nomenclatural problems are involved. Recognized common

names of organisms must be capitalized. Numerical ranges must be

delimited with an en-dash. Latitudinal and longitudinal information

should be presented with the datum used cited.

Articles

will be published using a two-level subheading style. All heading

levels must be on their own line, and left justified. For the purposes

of manuscript submission, Level 1 heading is bold with numbers (e. g.,

“1.”, “2.”…) and generally reserved for Introduction, Material and

Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusion; Level 2 is bold with

numbers (e. g., “1.1”…, “2.1”…). More than two levels of subheading are

not encouraged, or are only bold with no numbers. Shorter manuscript

types (i.e., short notes) should not be sectioned.

Acknowledgments:Identify

individuals by first initial and full surnames and do not list

professional titles and institutions. Funding sources for research

projects, collecting permits, import/export permits, and Institutional

Animal Care Protocols must be cited in Acknowledgments.

Literature

cited:These should be double-spaced and formatted identically for all

manuscripts. References in the text must be checked for consistency with

references in the literature cited section. The length of the

Literature Cited section should not exceed 20% of the text.

References

in the text:1) References to articles by one or two authors must

include both family names in the order they appear in the original

publication. References to articles by more than two authors must

include the first author’s family name, followed by “et al”; 2) The year

of article publication follows the authors, separated only by a comma

“,”; 3) References with the same author and year are distinguished by

the lower case characters “a, b, c . . .”; 4) References cited in text

are listed in alphabetical order by first author. For example, “My

results also incorporate literature records (Marx et al., 1982; Marx and

Rabb, 1972; Pope, 1929; Wall, 1909, 1910a, 1910b, 1910c).”

References

in literature cited:1) References must include all authors, in the

order that they appear in the original publication; “et al.” is never

used in the literature cited section; 2) All authors must be listed with

full family name first and other names listed by initials; 3)

References with the same author and year are distinguished by the lower

case characters, “a, b, c, ...”; 4) References cited are listed in

alphabetical order by first author; 5) Names of journals should be

abbreviated. Examples are provided below:

Note

that for articles published in Acta Herpetologica Sinica, the year must

precede the volume number. This is to distinguish between the old and

new series, and between 1982–1987, Vols.1–6 (new series) and 1988 with

no volume number and numbers 1 and 2 (new series).

Internet

references: To cite a website in the text (but not a specific ), it is

sufficient to provide the address (e. g., http://www.apa.org); no

reference entry is needed. However, when citing a particular web page as

a citation in the text (e. g., Gaten, 2000), an entry in the refe­rence

list is required. The citations only from academic or scientifically

funded websites can be used as references in AHR. An exampleis provided

below:

Gaten E.2000. Internet references. Retrieved from http://www.le.ac.uk/biology/teach/mod300/ecitations.html 19/9/2000

Tables

and figures:Both figures and tables should be self-explanatory,

unambiguous and of sufficiently high quality and size to be clearly

visible after reduction to final size.

Tables:

Each table should be numbered in Arabic, appear on a separate page with

a short heading and be double-spaced (tab delimited) containing no

dotted or vertical lines. The location of each table should be indicated

in the right margin of the text as “Table 1”, “Table 2”, etc. Footnotes

in tables should be indicated by superscript a, b, etc. The size of

table prints should not exceed (220 x 168 mm). Oversized tables will not

be accepted. For ease of layout, please submit tables as either word or

excel tables. Multiple tables may not format correctly and will be

returned to the author for correction.

Figures:

Each figure should appear on a separate page and be numbered in Arabic.

When several drawings or photographs are grouped as a single figure,

all parts of the figure must be arranged as one unit on a single page,

and each part should be lettered with an uppercase block letter in the

upper corner of each plot. Most figures are reduced to one-column width;

hence, lettering must be sized approp­riately. The location of each

figure should be clearly indicated in the right text margin as “Figure

1”, “Figure 2”, etc. Figure legends should be grouped sequentially and

double-spaced on a separate page. Figures should be submitted at a

minimum of 300 dpi resolution as PSD, TIFF, JPEG, or EPS for vector

graphic based data. Figure lettering should be Times New Roman Regular

font. Figures will be reduced to either one column (3.25”) or 2 columns

(6.5”). For microscopical preparations, scale bars with appropriate

units must be provided.

AHR

may publish color figures at the discretion of the editors. AHR is now

published both on paper and electronically. Authors may be required to

pay the cost of printing color figures for the paper version of AHR.

Color figures will be published free of charge in the electronic

version. Authors submitting color figures should indicate if they wish

the figures to be printed in color in the paper version. Other­wise,

color figures will be converted to grayscale in the paper version.

Statement

of authorship: Authorship implies responsi­bility. All authors should

have played a significant role in designing and performing the research

and in preparing the manuscript. Those whose roles were limited solely

to providing materials (including financial support), collecting data,

or reviewing the manuscript, should be recognized in the

Acknowledgments. Honorary authorship must be avoided.

Page Charges: Page and figure charges are billed to the corresponding author. Author should pay ￥600 (RMB) per grayscale page and ￥900 (RMB) per color page.

Article Types

Three categories are available for manuscripts submission:

Original

articles report the results of original research that should contribute

new information to the knowledge base in the field, not just confirm

previously published work.

Reviews

can be invited or unsolicited that should be contemporary and

comprehensive, and add information to published reviews on the same

topic.

Short

notes are concise but independent reports that represent a significant

contribution to herpetology. They include a maximum of 4 references.

As for the detail requirements of those manuscripts, please see the Authors’ Guide.
