Instructions to authors
CBS Biodiversity Serie
The CBS Biodiversity Series is an international journal which publishes books
and checklists of filamentous fungi and yeasts, related to all fields of
mycology, biotechnology, ecology, molecular biology, pathology and systematics.
Authors who intend to submit manuscripts, or wish to include colour plates,
should contact the executive editor in advance. There are no length
restrictions, though it is generally expected that manuscripts should be in the
excess of 100 A4 pages in print. Page charges for colour illustrations should be
negotiated with the Executive Editor.

Manuscripts and enquiries should be directed to the Executive Editor:
To submit a manuscript to CBS Biodiversity Series send:
1. THREE copies of the typescript, A4 size, which must be 1.5 line spacing
throughout, leaving 2.5 cm margins on all sides;
2. A disk, with the manuscript processed with a PC word processor, ideally in
Microsoft Word, incorporating all figures in electronic format (600 dpi);
3. A covering letter which clearly states the name and address of the person
with whom the Executive Editor should correspond, and which confirms that: (a)
all named authors have agreed to publication of the work; and (b) the manuscript
does not infringe any personal or other copyright or property rights.
4. If the manuscript makes reference to papers which are 'in press', copies
should be included for the benefit of the referees.
5. The content should be set out as follows: Abstract, Introduction, Materials
and Methods, Results or Taxonomic Part, Discussion, Acknowledgements and
References. Key words and a Running Head should also be provided.
6. English spellings are required, and should follow The Concise Oxford
Dictionary (Clarendon Press, Oxford). Words of non-English origin, like bona
fide, prima facie, in vitro, in situ, should be placed in italic, together with
scientific names of any rank (e.g. Ascomycota, Dothideales, Mycosphaerellaceae,
Mycosphaerella nubilosa).
7. Common abbreviations are as follows: h, min, s, mL, µL, mg/L, °C, Fig., Figs,
d, wk. Citation of nomenclatural authorities for taxa should follow the list of
authors' names, see http://www.speciesfungorum.org/AuthorsOfFungalNames.htm.
Journal abbreviations in the text (species synonymies, descriptions, etc.)
should be consistent, e.g. B-P-H and B-P-H/S
(Botanico-Periodicum-Huntianum/Supplementum).
8. Experimental procedures should be reproducible, and must follow Good Cultural
Practice (Mycological Research 106:1378–1379), with sequences lodged at GenBank,
alignments in TreeBase, voucher specimens in an acknowledged herbarium (Index
Herbariorum or World Directory of Collections and Cultures of Microorganisms
acronym), with accession numbers where allocated, and accompanying cultures in
CBS.
9. Illustrations (including phylogenetic trees) and tables can be submitted in
digital form, but hardcopies might be necessary when the quality does not meet
the required standards for printing. Line drawings and half tone pictures should
preferably be sent as tif files. Half tones at 300 dpi or higher, and line
drawings at 600 dpi or higher. Do not submit illustrations or tables as
Powerpoint files. For colour illustrations contact the Executive Editor.
10. Although part of a series, each book is seen as a separate entity, and the
author can choose a suitable reference citation style, pending that it is
consistent throughout.
11. The copyright of the published material will be assigned to CBS, unless
agreed otherwise with the Executive Editor.
