Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Article Submission

The Transactions currently is published with full articles in paper and in various online formats. Authors who wish to contribute articles for publication should consult a recent issue of the Transactions for guidance as to style and format. Three double-spaced (paper) copies must be submitted to the editor for peer-review purposes. Examples of reference style are given below--see references. All figures for paper publication should be black-and-white line drawings (PMTs) or photographs sized to page dimensions--maximum width is 12 cm; maximum height is 18 cm.

All inquiries regarding submission and peer-review of manuscripts should be
directed to Transactions co-editor, Roy Beckemeyer--royb@southwind.net.

Final versions of accepted manuscripts should be sent digitally in rich-text format (rtf) only along with a printed paper copy. Image files may be black-and-white or color pictures, and should be provided in tiff, gif or jpeg format. Digital image resolution should be 300 dpi. Column width is 2.65 inches (~800 dpi); full page width is 5.5 inches (1650 dpi). Accepted manuscripts are normally published in the next available issue.

As of volume 109 (2006), the Academy has waived page charges for most articles, and color illustrations may be reproduced at the editor's discretion. Free reprints are provided to authors in the form of PDF files; paper reprints may be ordered from Allen Press. An author (or at least one co-author) of any manuscript submitted to the Transactions should be a member of the Academy. Non-members also may publish in the Transactions. A $50 fee will be charged, which will include one-year membership in the Academy.

All inquiries regarding copyediting and reprints should be directed to
Transactions co-editor, Mike Everhart--mike@oceansofkansas.com.

Reference style

Standard scientific style is employed for citing references in the body of articles (author name and date). For one, two or three authors list all names (e.g. Skelton 1998; Zeuner and Manning 1976; Lidmar-Bergström, Elvhage and Ringberg 1991). For citations with four (or more) authors, list only the first author's name (e.g. Bauer et al. 1997; Elliott et al. 1999). Footnotes are not used; however, end notes may be included following the list of references. Authors are requested to provide references in the style given below.
