INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Articles will be published online as they are accepted. All articles are peer-reviewed. There is no longer a print edition.
Fungal Genetics Reports is a suitable place for short research notes, methods notes, linkage data, information concerning new mutants, announcements of meetings, or of positions available et cetera. It is a policy not to accept an abstract or shorter version of a full-length paper which will be published soon in a regular journal. However, a more extensive description of techniques or mutants used in a regular paper would be appropriate for FGR. We particularly encourage you to use FGR to describe new techniques or methods. All manuscripts are reviewed but will not be returned to authors for minor editorial changes. Please make every effort to have your manuscript conform to the format used in FGR."Mini Reviews" is a section in which one or two brief reviews of an area of research will be published. Potential
contributors are encouraged to communicate an outline of their review before writing the manuscript. "One-Liners"
is a section in which helpful hints, et cetera, can
be communicated.
Please communicate one or two sentence pieces
of useful information at any time during the year. "Brief Notes" is a section in which a brief account of research
observations can be made; typically only very preliminary research will have been done.
1. Manuscripts should follow the standard format for the
Fungal Genetics Newsletter: consult previous issues or the Editor if you are not sure of the format.
Regular papers should also include a brief
ABSTRACT (about 4 or 5 lines) which contains the following:
1) A statement of the question/hypothesis;
2)The experimental approach and most significant results; and
3) The conclusions.
2. Manuscripts should be double spaced. Submit manuscripts to the Editor by e-mail if possible. If not, submit three copies of the manuscript. DO NOT submit manuscripts by Fax.
3. Authors should include their Fax number and e-mail address with their submission.
4. Accepted and revised manuscripts must be submitted as e-mail attachments, or in the body of an e-mail. Attachments as format is better preserved.
5. Make tables and figures as compact as possible. Both should be submitted in final form suitable for publication. Images should be sent as tiff or jpg format when available. Color figures will be black-and-white in the print edition.
Please use the FGN 52 or later as a guide when formatting citations. An EndNote template is available online. Right-click this link and choose "save as"
