A manuscript submitted to the 2nd APCRS Secretariat will be sent to a Topic Editor based on the contents. The Topic Editor will select reviewers and make recommendation on the decision of the manuscript. Final decision of the manuscript will be made by the Editor-in-Chief.
Organization of Manuscript
Manuscripts should not normally exceed 6 printed pages. Manuscripts should be organized as follows: (1) Title page, (2) Abstract, (3) Introduction, (4) Materials and Methods, (5) Results, (6) Discussion, (7) Acknowledgments, (8) References, (9) Tables, (10) Figure legends, and (11) Figures or Plates.
Manuscript Preparation
The original manuscript should be typed, double-spaced, on one side of A4 sized sheet with margins of at least 2.5 cm. All pages should be numbered starting from the title page. Copies should be two sided photocopies of the original to reduce postage costs.
Title page
The title should be concise and informative. The title page should include the name(s) of the author(s), the affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s), the e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the communicating author and a short running title of no more than 50 characters.
Abstract
Each paper must be preceded by an abstract stating the rationale for the study and presenting the most important results and conclusions in no more than 250 words.
Keywords
4 to 6 keywords should be supplied after the Abstract for indexing purposes.
Abbreviations
Should be defined when first mentioned in the abstract and again in the main body of the text and used consistently thereafter.
Acknowledgments
These should be as brief as possible. Any grant that requires acknowledgment should be mentioned. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
References
The list of References should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications should only be mentioned in the text.
Citations in the text should be as follows:
(Konishi 1985; Eakin and Glynn 1992; Smith et al. 1995)
Konishi (1985), Eakin and Glynn (1992), Smith et al. (1995)
The list of references at the end of the paper should be alphabetized under the first author’s name. References by the same author or team of authors should be listed in chronological order.
Here are a few examples for the style of references:
Glynn PW, Perez M, Gilchrist SL (1985) Lipid decline in stressed corals and their crustacean symbionts. Biol Bull 168: 276-284
Grassle JF (1973) Variety in coral reef communities. In: Jones OA, Endean R (eds) Biology and geology of coral reefs, Vol: Biology 1. Academic Press, New York, pp 247-270
Illustrations and Tables
All figures (photographs, graphs or diagrams) and tables should be cited in the text, and numbered consecutively throughout. The placement of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin.
Letters in illustrations should be typed in Helvetica or Arial.
Magnification should be indicated by scale bars.
Plates: Several figures or figure parts should be grouped in a plate on one page.
Figure legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the illustrations.
Tables should have a title and a legend explaining any abbreviation used in that table. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data).
For color illustrations the authors will be expected to make a contribution towards the extra costs.
Scientific names
For all species studied, the complete scientific name with taxonomic author and date (Galaxea fascicularis Linnaeus 1767) should be given either at the first mention in the text of the paper or in the Methods, but not in the title or abstract. Thereafter, use the full binomial (Galaxea fascicularis) when first mentioned in each section of the paper, and then abbreviated (G. fascicularis).
The deadline for manuscript submission is extened to 15th August 2010
