Click here to download a Manuscript Templatefor First Submission (i.e. not revised manuscripts)
· The title of the manuscript and whether it is an original submission or a re-submission;
· A highlight that contains 3 to 5 short sentences to state core findings of the research described in the paper;
· All authors agree with the submission;
· The work has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, including in another form or language;
· Please declare all figures, tables and data that are reproduced from other publications;the authors have to obtain an authorization from the copyright holders (usually the Publishers) for using them, and should include this authorization form with their submission;
· Please state if the word counts conform to the required word limits;
· Statement of Conflict of Interests.
The submitted materials should contain: (1) Cover letter; (2) Manuscript; (3) Supplementary materials if the manuscript has.
For first submissions (i.e. not revised manuscripts), we strongly suggest you to insert all figures and tables into an appropriate position (the same or next page of the first citation) in the main text (Microsoft Word) to facilitate the reviewing process. The figure legends, and table captions should be inserted immediately above or below the figures and tables, respectively. Supplementary materials should be appended to the end of the References, with the supplemental tables and figures being embedded or stand alone. Finally, the manuscript should include continuous line number and page number to facilitate commenting. Manuscripts with such a format will expedite the reviewing process.
If your supplemental materials contain data sets (e.g. excel files) that are hard to be enclosed in an all-inclusive single file, you have two other options: (1) submit a single a master file in the format as mentioned above, plus one or several data files (in excel) that could not be incorporated into the master file; (2) submit all your files separately. In both cases, the file submission system will generate a single PDF file with the data (in excel) to be hyperlinked. Eventually, the manuscript should be in a single PDF that contains all Figures, Tables, Supplementary materials, and hyperlinked data for reviewing.
For the revised manuscript, we suggest you submit the manuscript text, tables and figures, supplementary files separately. Your submission should include:
· a rebuttal letter;
· marked-up version of the manuscript (Word) with no figures;
· clean (non-highlighted) version of the manuscript;
· Figures with a resolution of 300 dpi or above are expected;
· Supplementary files (Word or Excel) are anticipated.
Regardless of whether this is the first submission or re-submission, this is the first-time submission or a re-submission, more detailed and general information for preparing a manuscript is elucidated in the next section titled “Detailed requirements”.
Before submitting your manuscript, please check your submission for the following:
(1) The submission of all authors to the file system The full names of all authors should be entered into the file system in the same order as shown in the manuscript. Contact information including institution, address and official e-mail addresses must be provided. Please use organization email account as official author email addresses if possible, such as abc@uci.edu.
(2) Title Page The title page should include a succinct title (less than 250 characters), a very concise running title (which should be less than 50 character, for example, Plant Immune Mechanisms), the full names of all authors including their given names, the affiliations and location (including city, state, country and zip/post code) of all authors, the full name, and official email address(es) of the corresponding author(s).
(3) Abstract A brief abstract up to 250 words should state the background and purpose of the research, methods (or rationale), main results and findings, and brief conclusions of the study. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references and should not be structured.
(4) Introduction should provide a background on the research topic, and a focused literature review that includes known and controversial findings, challenging issues, and the hypothesis on this research. At the end, briefly summarize the materials and methods as well as the research rationale. Note that the Introduction should not contain results or conclusions.
(5) Results should be presented in a logical sequence in the text, tables and figures, usually matching the order as described in Materials and Methods. Repeated presentation of the same data in different forms should be avoided. The Results should not include a lengthy discussion.
(6) Discussion The results should not be restated in the Discussion, but can be recapitulated to support or rebut existing hypotheses, conceived assumptions, or true facts stated in the introduction or literature. The Discussion should compare and relate the new or major findings in the Results to the existing body of knowledge in the field, in terms of improvement or further advance of current knowledge and technologies (Methods paper), and overall significance and contribution to the field as well as the future research focuses that stemmed from this study.
(7) Conclusions A short conclusion of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, or at the end of the Discussion section.
(8) Materials and methods should be described in sufficient detail to allow the research work to be reliably reproduced in another laboratory, and to leave the readers in no doubt as to how the results were derived. Please also remember to include a section of “Statistical Analysis” where the statistical methods with enough details including threshold cut-off are provided to enable an appraisal of the work and an analysis of the data to reproduce the results. When the total word number exceeds the limit, it is suggested to check the redundance in Introduction, Results, and Discussion for removal rather than to briefly describe the methods without providing sufficient details. In a circumstance where it is difficult to compress other sections, some detailed methods, especially those that are routinely used in most laboratories, can be placed into the Electronic Supplemental Information.
(9) Electronic supplementary information a. All lesser significant figures, tables, and procedures that support the main body of key results and conclusions in the text should be included as Electronic Supplementary Information and uploaded as a separate file (PDF) at the same time of manuscript submission. b. The availability of Electronic supplementary information should be mentioned in a separate paragraph in the manuscript, placed immediately before the References, as: “Electronic Supplementary Information”.
(10) Acknowledgments should include the funding agency and grant number which provided other resources. Individuals who have contributed to make the research possible, but not sufficiently quantified to be authors should also be included in this section.
(11) Conflict of interest A statement must be included for all contributing authors who are involved in various kinds of conflicts. Examples of potential conflicts of interest include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other resources which may potentially influence the decision derived from this research. If no conflict of interest is declared, the following statement should be declared in the manuscript: “The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
(12) Author contributions Contribution by all co-authors should be stated, and all authors should agree with the author contributions statement. After the submission, it is rare to allow change the order of author contribution or add new authors unless significant revision is made and additional research data are analyzed after submission.
(13) Citations in Text
Example:
1. Finally, forests play a leading role in the global cycling of energy, carbon, water and nutrients[4-7].
2. For the past millennia, the livelihood of humans has largely depended on forest resources, but these resources are not inexhaustible[2,3].
