JOURNAL OF APICULTURAL SCIENCE Informacje dla autorów (tylko w języku angielskim) Journal of Apicultural Science is a scientific journal intended to publish original papers in the field of the broad-sense beekeeping science. Manuscripts submitted in English with Polish summaries (authors from Poland) should be concise and to the point without unnecessary circumlocutions and stylistic figures, written in a simple language. They must not exceed 30,000 characters. The manuscripts should be sent to: Research Institute of Pomology and Floriculture, Apiculture Division, 24-100 Puławy, ul. Kazimierska 2, Poland Each submitted manuscript is reviewed. The editor reserves the right to choose the reviewer/s and to make stylistic changes and other minor corrections that do not alter the scientific content of the paper. The authors are obliged to make the first proof reading of the manuscript. Once the corrected proofs are returned the authors bear the full responsibility for the content and the language of the paper. The following arrangement of the paper is required: The title of the paper should be as short as possible, clear and consistent with the subject. No abbreviations are allowed in the title save for the authors of taxonomic descriptions. The surnames of authors are preceded by full first names. If there is more than one first name an initial of the second name is given. Below are full names and addresses of institutions at which the work was done. If authors' affiliations do not clearly follow from the order of names and institutions the names and the institutions should be marked by the same character e.g a numeral. A brief summary with keywords - not exceeding 2,000 characters. It should give a short account of the paper's content. The introduction gives an account of the subject with a synthetic discussion of the relevant literature. Citations of literature in the text are made by quoting the author's name followed by year of publication. If more than two co-authors are cited only the first author is quoted followed by "et al.". An exaggerated number of literature references should be avoided. The objective of the study should be defined at the end of introduction. Methods - briefly states the protocols used and describes the experiment materials clearly enough for the reader to be able to reproduce faithfully a similar study. Results should be reported very concisely without detailed discussion of data contained in the tables. An emphasis should be put on the significance of differences or the phenomena described. The same data must not be simultaneously contained in tables and figures (graphs). The discussion is welcome only when it is necessary to confront one's own data with those of other authors. It is redundant in other papers. The conclusions should generalize the results obtained. They should not be the summary of the paper or the recommendations for commercial beekeeping. The list of references comprises original publications directly relevant to the subject of paper quoted in the main text body. The references should be arranged according to names of authors, the same authors should be placed chronologically. They should be written in the following style: Sakofski F., Koeniger N., Fuchs S. (1990) - Seasonality of honey bee colony invasion by Varroa jacobsoni Oud. Apidologie, 21(6):547-550. The extended summary with paper title, initials and full surnames of authors and with keywords - not to exceed one and a half page of text. It gives a brief account of methods, results and conclusions. It is necessary to prepare this summary in Polish. Keywords derived either from the title or from the main text ought to be informative of the subject. They should be placed at the end of summaries. The keywords, not to exceed five, should be in the first case and in singular if possible. Tables presented in paper ought to be self-explanatory i.e. it should be comprehensible without making references to the main text. The headings must not contain symbols which are not generally known and the wording of headings must be concise. Tables and figures should be accompanied with descriptions. Tables - should be designed in such a way as to stand reduction to publication size (125 x 200 mm) without compromising legibility. Figures (drawings, graphs) should be prepared on white paper and have a size of 125 mm x 200 mm. Larger illustrations will be reduced to publication size of which the due allowance should be made (if scaled down to required size small print may become illegible). The figures must be identified by placing a number on the back e.g. Fig. 1, Fig. 2 etc. Graphs can also be submitted as MS Excel 2000 files or in the TIF format scanned at 300 dpi resolution with a hardcopy attached. Photos should be submitted with the number in the reverse and transparencies (slides) should have the number on the frame. If the original photo cannot be supplied a grayscale TIF file scanned at 300 dpi resolution is acceptable. The manuscripts should be submitted in the MS Word 2000 format. Should other word processing package be used they ought to be exported to the RTF or TXT formats and accompanied with one hardcopy containing legible formatting details (bold, italics, special characters). Hand-made corrections on the printout are allowed; they should be highlighted in red. Poradniki dotyczące pisania prac naukowych: How to write scientific papers tu.. Jak nie pisać prac naukowych tu..
