Instruction for Authors

  Russian Journal of Nematology publishes in English original research on any aspect of nematology. Review articles, book reviews, conference announcements, information and conference reports can also be submitted for publication.
  Contributors are invited to submit files for Word (doc) and Acrobat Reader (pdf) containing all texts, tables and illustrations for review. For the final procession of the accepted paper, all illustrations (line-art drawings, half-tone photographs etc.) should be sent as attached files in a higher resolution format. Manuscript and illustrations are to be sent to RJN Secretary - Drs Natalia Butorina or Elena A. Guzeeva: rjn.papersubmission@gmail.com
  Manuscripts, with their pages numbered consecutively (no numbering of lines), will contain the title, the names of the author(s), their business mailing address, e-mail, followed by English summary, not exceeding 150 words, key words, and running title. Then text of the manuscript is to be presented starting from condensed introduction followed by Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References, as separate sections.
  Contributions with descriptions of new species of nematodes or re-descriptions of known ones will be considered for publication only if differential diagnostics based on the traditional morphological data are supported by relevant molecular data.
  Numerical data should be presented preferably in graph form or in tabular format. Figures and tables should be presented individually on separate sheets with their Legends typed on a separate sheet. Graphs and drawings must be clear with appropriately sized symbols, lettering and line thickness and presented in their final size. Photographs should also be clear and presented in their final size, e.g. width 170 mm with maximum depth of 215 mm.
  SI units (Le Systeme International d’Unites) should be used and units consistent throughout the manuscript, i.e. imperial and metric units must not be used together within a manuscript.   References in the text are given as – Author (1993), Author & Another (1993), Author et al. (1993) or (Author, 1993), (Author & Another, 1993), (Author et al., 1993). When several references are placed in parentheses they are ordered chronologically. References are listed as follows:
