“Genus”
adopts Appropriate Citation of Taxonomy in which author names of taxa
automatically link to references and hence to citations. This procedure applies
to all types of papers, except for checklists and catalogues.
Colour images may be obtained by an
author/institution at the rate of 40 Euro per page.
Authors are required to suggest 2-4 potential
reviewers (name, affiliation and email address) for their manuscript. Every manuscript will be submitted to two
experts for obligatory review. The reviews are anonymous. The editors will
return manuscripts not corresponding to the instructions to authors without
introductory review. Reviewing procedures stay in accordance with the Polish
Ministry of Science and Higher Education guidelines.
No reprints are
printed, authors receive a high resolution PDF copy. All papers are open-access,
available on-line at: www.biol.uni.wroc.pl/cassidae/genus.html. Printed version
of the journal is a primary one.
The
editorial board requires authors to disclose contribution of individual authors
to preparation of a publication (with a list of their affiliations) in detail,
i.e. provide information on who is the author of concept, premises,
methods, protocol etc. used in the publication. Main responsibility to disclose
full information remains on author submitting manuscript.
“Ghostwriting” and “guest
authorship” are indication of scientific dishonesty and all cases will
be exposed and adequate institutions will be informed (employers, scientific
societies, scientific editors associations, etc.). Editorial board will
document all indications of scientific dishonesty especially of violation of
ethical principles followed in science.
All manuscripts should be submitted to: genus@biol.uni.wroc.pl
