Tables
Each table must be presented on a separate page and be identified by a short, descriptive title placed at the top. Any necessary further explanations (e.g., the results of statistical tests) may be added as footnotes at the base of the table. Make sure that each abbreviation used in a table is fully explained in a footnote.
Marginal notations on manuscripts should indicate approximately where tables are to appear.
Please use Helvetica or Arial font for all tables.
Each table must be cited in the text.
Authors using MS-Word or other word-processing programs must use those programs' table editors to create tables. Do not create tables by typing single lines of text followed by a hard return, with spaces or tabs used to align columns. Such tables will have to be rekeyed, causing a possible delay in publication and an increased probability of error in the rekeyed data.
All the content of a table, including column heads and subheads, must be in a single table. Do not break large tables into smaller ones merely to accommodate page breaks.
Each row of data must be in a separate row of table cells. Do not put hard returns in table cells to increase the spacing between rows or to align data in rows. No table cell should contain a hard return. Allow the word processor to break lines where it will; line breaks to format column headings or complex data in table cells will be added during copy-editing.
Tables should not contain vertical rules, and the main body of the table should not contain horizontal rules.
Do not embed tables from other applications into word-processing files unless the tables are converted to the word processor's native format. If the embedded table cannot be edited using the word processor's table editing and formatting commands, it will have to be rekeyed.
Check carefully that tables are consistent with the text, with regard both to style and the information given.
Figures
All illustrative material (drawings, maps, diagrams, graphs and photographs) should be designated “Figures” and must be cited in the text. For the review process, it is acceptable to supply photocopies of figures. Once a paper is accepted, the author will be required to supply high-resolution files/prints of figures (electronic files are preferred). Figures must be submitted as separate image files and NOT embedded in the word document. Figures will be reproduced exactly as provided. However, as they will be reduced in size to fit the Journal’s page format, figures must be of a size which allow a reduction of 50%.
The figure files should include any labels or markers that are part of the figure itself, but not the figure number or caption (they will be typeset separately). All figure captions should be provided in a list on a separate page of the manuscript.
Problem formats
The graphics created using PowerPoint, Excel, Word, or WordPerfect are low-resolution images that are not usually suitable for professional reproduction. Graphics created in these programs are acceptable only if they are line graphs, with no gray, color, or shading (see Line graphs).
Graphics downloaded from Web pages are not acceptable for print reproduction. These graphics are low-resolution images (usually 72 dpi) that are suitable for screen display but far below acceptable standards for print reproduction.
Labeling
Please be consistent with type (both font and size) within a figure. Please use Helvetica or Arial font for all figures in your manuscript. Since most figures are reduced, figures employing more than one font size may, after reduction, contain both text that is too small to read and text that is so large as to be awkward. After reduction, all text should be legible but not excessively large. Of course, some variation in the size of letters may be necessary to emphasize elements in a figure or to fit lettering in a limited space; however, please try to use no more than a 2-point variation in your type sizes.
If the figures in your manuscript contain units of measurement, please label these units consistently. Make sure abbreviations are consistent with those used in the text and the caption.
Avoid placing labels over shaded areas of a figure. Best results are obtained from black lettering on a white background. If the area requiring a label contains shading, it is best to create a white box and place the black label within.
Figures consisting of more than one panel should include lowercase panel designations (“a,” “b,” “c,” etc). We prefer to receive multipart figures assembled into single-image files whenever possible (i.e., one file containing all panels, with parts labeled, and arranged so that they will fit on a journal page or portion of a page). Whenever possible, include all panels of a figure on the same page.
Each chart or graph should incorporate a key to any symbols or patterns used. Please set the key inside the figure.
All graphs and plots should include axis lines at the top, bottom, right, and left sides of the data, forming a completely enclosed box. This will allow for easier interpretation by the reader. Figures should not include text along the top axis outside of the box, except for axis labels. The y-axis label should be vertical. Any information about the figure should be contained within the figure caption or in the labels that appear inside the box.
Labels should be in normal text (not bold). The first letter of each label should be capitalized. Thereafter all letters should be in lowercase (e.g., Control group). There should not be any full stops after labels and there not be any underlining.
Omit any extraneous information, such as page numbers, figure numbers, author names or manuscript number, from the figure. Figures themselves should not contain a title or text that is duplicated in the figure caption.
Copyright
If the artwork you are transmitting has been published elsewhere or is otherwise copyrighted, please obtain the necessary permission to use it. Copyright and source information should be included in the figure caption.
Bar graphs
Avoid the use of gray or color in bar graphs. Instead, please use solid black, solid white, and patterned (e.g., horizontally or diagonally striped) bars. Please only create two-dimensional graphs (three-dimensional bar graphs are not acceptable). Optimum resolution for bar graph files is 800 dpi.
Line graphs
A line graph is best reproduced when it is a crisp black-and-white image and contains no unnecessary gray shading. Avoid using gray in a graph.
Avoid thin lines, particularly in figures requiring considerable reduction. Do not use lines that are thinner than 1 point, and do not use the “hairline” width option that many computer programs offer.
If your image requires the use of many lines, please choose patterns that are easily distinguished from each other. Patterns with similar characteristics are hard to differentiate after reduction. Dotted or dashed lines should be thick enough and varied enough to withstand considerable reduction. If possible, avoid using triple-dot-dashed line styles or any variation that uses 4 or more identifying components.
Optimum resolution for black-and-white line-graph files and combination line graph and grayscale images is 800 dpi.
Photographs
Photos can be submitted as scanned files (300 dpi or above). As the journal prints in black only, color files should not be sent. Files must be converted to grayscale or created in black and white. Otherwise, please submit one set of high-quality glossy prints (8 ´ 10 inches) with any identifying arrows and letters marked on a corresponding photocopy. Please do not cut, or write on prints. Indicate on the back the author's name, figure number, and “top.” If you have to send color figures, please make sure that the colors you use will work well when converted to grayscale. Use contrasting colors with different tones (i.e., a dark blue and a dark red will not work because their tones are too similar; when converted to grayscale the resulting grays will be almost identical).
Digital file formats
Figure files should be in TIFF or EPS format (make sure the files are suffixed with .tif or .eps, as appropriate). EPS files saved by a commercial-quality graphic program (such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, or Kaleidagraph) are generally the most reliable. Authors should avoid using applications that cannot save directly in TIFF or EPS format.
Each figure must be a separate file. If you have a multipart figure, we prefer to receive these as a single file, with panels labeled within the image, rather than as multiple files.
The JPEG file format is not always of high enough quality. If at all possible, please avoid transmitting electronic files in JPEG format. If this is unavoidable, please be sure to save the JPEG at the highest quality available and at the correct resolution for the type of figure.
GIF files are not acceptable.
Track Changes
Some word-processing programs offer authors the ability to check the changes they have made to their manuscript after making revisions. In MS-Word, this is called “Track Changes.” If you do use this or a similar utility, please remember to click “accept all changes” and deselect “Track Changes” before you send a final, electronic copy of any accepted manuscript. If this is not done, previously deleted material will reappear when the file is imported into our desktop publishing program, creating much confusion and an inevitable delay in the publication process.
Criteria for Evaluation
Anthrozoös is refereed and papers will be accepted only after appropriate blind review. The general criteria for acceptance are that the research meet standards for publication in a specialty journal appropriate to its field and that it provide new information, sound hypotheses, or insightful analyses relevant to the content area of Anthrozoös. This is a multidisciplinary journal, and authors should be aware that their own discipline’s jargon may be unfamiliar to readers from other disciplines. Please keep jargon to a minimum and provide a complete methods section. If you are in doubt about this, please err on the side of providing fuller explanations. The Editor can always cut material but cannot add it.
Copyright
Papers are accepted on the understanding that they are subject to editorial revision and that they are contributed only to this Journal. Copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Journal. The transfer of copyright to Anthrozoös takes effect when the manuscript is accepted for publication.
Copies
On publication, authors will be sent a PDF of the final version of their article for personal use. Copies of the journal issue can be purchased by authors at a discount rate.
