Scope: Proceedings series B welcomes papers on any aspect of biological science. It publishes announcements of important results, normally not exceeding 4000 words, including the summary, references and up to four fig- ures/tables: equivalent in total to no more than 6 printed pages. Papers which exceed 6 pages will attract a page charge of ?98 for every page exceeding the limit.
Appendices: As an alternative, for longer papers, authors can publish a paper in the normal Proceedings format (and length) and in addition provide an elec- tronic (HTML) appendix. Agreement to publish via this route lies with the Editor. The author will be responsible for formatting the appendix which, due to the extra length, will be refereed with the main report within 6-8 weeks, rather than the normal 4 weeks. If accepted, the report will be published in the journal and the appendix made available at www.pubs.royalsoc.ac.uk. A hard copy of the appendix will be archived at the British Library.
Reviews: The Editor will also consider short reviews, but only if they contain original and interesting new ideas. Short additions to, or criticisms of, papers that have already been published (subject to their originality and interest, and to the rules of good manners) will also be acceptable. Preliminary reports ('letters') are not encouraged.
Publication: The target publication time is only 3 months from receipt (excluding the period that the manuscript is in the hands of the authors).
Submission: Authors should send papers to the Proceedings B Editorial Office, address as below. Four copies of the typescript (including any appendices) and figures (with at least one set of original figures) are required. Papers should be prepared in accordance with the current Instructions to authors printed at the end of the December 1998 issue, and also available at www.pubs.royalsoc.ac.uk or from the Editorial Office. Authors will receive 50 free off prints.
