IMPORTANT NOTES AND REMINDERS FOR AUTHORS
You will ¢nd our current Instructions to Authors at the end of issue 1 of volume 13 of Chromosome Research and on our Website hhttp://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0967-3849i. Please read and follow them carefully when preparing your manuscript. Papers may be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief or to any of the Associate Editors. North American authors are encouraged, but under no obligation, to send their manuscripts to one of our Associate Editors in that region, Dr. Steve Stack or Dr. Michael Goldman. This often helps to speed up editorial processing and can lead to better communication and a faster decision on acceptance for publication. For the same reasons, Japanese authors are encouraged to submit their papers through our Associate Editor in Japan, Professor Nobuo Takagi. If you submit by E-mail, attach everything as Word files and compressed TIFF or JPEG images. Do not attempt to send any one message, including attachments, of more than 0.5MB. If in doubt, call the Editor of your choice for advice. If you submit on disk, it must be PC formatted with text and illustrations as Word files, all in accordance with our current Instructions to Authors. If you submit your paper as hard copy, we need 3 complete copies. General points: Don’t forget key words Don’t forget scale bars on micrographs Don’t forget full contact details for the communicating author If you don’t provide these, it may delay publication of your paper.
