Instructions for authors
Send manuscripts in electronic form to the chief editor (editor@podarcis.nl), preferably in Word 97, though other formats may be accepted after consultation. Do not include illustrations such as pictures or graphs in the text. These should be submitted separately, in electronic form or as hard copy, with each one properly identified. Please note that we accept manuscripts offered in Dutch and English, and potentially in other modern languages, provided an English version is also submitted (contact the chief editor beforehand).
The manuscript must not have been published or cannot be submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.
For information on style please consult recent editions of Pod@rcis. The title should include the scientific name and may include the common name of the species. The name and address of the author(s) and a short introduction should follow the title. The rest of the text should be divided into sections, each with its own short heading. Do not use footnotes. Follow the article with a summary and list of referenced articles. This list should be in alphabetical order by the last name of the first author and should cover all articles referred to in the text. The citations should be in the style of the following examples for articles, books, and collective works:
