| INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS |
|
Chromosome Science is the official journal of the Society of Chromosome Research (SCR), published in one volume of 4 issues, each year. SCR had published two journals, La Kromosomo and Chromosome Information Service since 1946 and 1960, respectively. These journals were united in 1996
and renamed Chromosome Science. Chromosome Science publishes original research reports in the fields of animal and plant cytogenetics, evolutionary aspects of chromosomes, gene mapping, cancer cytogenetics, comparative genetics, and genome studies. Abstracts of papers presented at the Annual Meetings of the SCR are also included. Methodological developments in areas such as differential staining of chromosomes, animal and plant cell culturing, cell fusion, gene and chromosome transfer, and in situ hybridization are also welcome.
Publication of Chromosome Science is open to non-members as well as the members of SCR.

All manuscripts must be written in English, typewritten (point size, 12), and double-spaced on A4 (8.5" x 11") size paper with 2.5 cm (1") margins on all sides of the page. All pages should be numbered consecutively, including References, Tables, and Figure Legends. Manuscripts for Regular Articles should be organized in the following order: Title page, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments (optional), References, Tables, and Figures.
Page 1 should contain the article title, names and addresses of all authors, and short running title, followed by telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address, if any, of the corresponding author.
Page 2 should contain the abstract (approximately 200 words), in which a brief
informative summary and the conclusions of the paper should be described.
Avoid using references in the Abstract. In addition to the Abstract, 3
to 5 Keywords should be included for indexing purposes.
The text should start on page 3.
Regular Articles should be original reports not exceeding 7 printed pages (approximately
21 manuscript pages).
Short Communications should not exceed 5 manuscript pages, excluding title page. They should be preliminary data, technical notes or ongoing research that does not a warrant full-length article. Arrange in the following sequence: Title page, Abstract, Keywords, Text, References, Tables, and Figures. The maximum allowable number of figures and/or tables is three. References should be in the same style as for Regular Articles.
Reviews are normally commissioned by the editors. Authors should contact or send
a short descriptive proposal before submitting a manuscript.
YY
References. Citations in the text should be by author and year of publication. In
case of 3 or more authors, only the first author's name followed by "et
al." is needed. Reference list should be presented in alphabetical
order by listing all authors. The names of journals should be abbreviated
according to the Index Medicus. Examples are the following:
