Instructions to Authors
The Austrian Journal of Mycology will publish original papers on systematics, phylogeny, morphology, anatomy, ecology, and distribution of fungi (including lichens). Papers should be sent electronically to the Editor: Dr I. Krisai-Greilhuber, Email: irmgard.greilhuber@univie.ac.at, Rennweg 14, A-1030 Wien, Austria. The manuscripts will be reviewed by the redaction and additional referees.
Manuscripts may be written in English, German, or French. They will be published in chronological order according to their acceptance. The title should be brief and concise. Full names and addresses of the authors have to be given on the first page. The manuscript has to include a few key words, an abstract in English and a summary in German (can be added by the editor) or French.
In the text, the hierarchy of subdivisions must be clearly apparent: headings in boldface, double – (spacing 3 pt) or single-spaced, as first words of paragraphs bold or double-spaced. Exact details on the origin, identification and deposition of the material investigated must be included. Herbaria have to be quoted according to the latest edition of the „Index Herbariorum“. Scientific names should be in accordance with the international code of nomenclature. At least once in the manuscript the taxa should be given with their authorities. Manuscripts should be double-spaced with a broad margin. The abstract, summary, key words, material and methods, collections examined, acknowledgements, references, figure legends, and tables will be printed in small letters. Literature citations in the text will appear in small capitals: Singer (1964), Kühner & Romagnesi (1975), when more than two authors: Smith & al. (1982).
Abbreviations and measurement units should be generally understood and conform to international usage. Non-Latin alphabets have to be transliterated following the rules of the ISO (International Standard Organization). Illustrations and tables should be submitted as separate files. They should be numbered in Arabic numerals. Printing area is 13 × 20 cm.. Line drawings should be neatly made in black ink on white or transparent paper. If ever possible, illustrations should be combined to a plate, using the entire print area. A scale has to be included in each illustration. Legends should be written on a separate page. Illustrations may also be submitted electronically: the minimum resolution required is 600 dots per inch. Some coloured illustrations will be published yearly free of charge.
References at the end of the paper should be given in alphabetical order under the surnames of the authors. If several of an author’s publications are referred to, these should be listed chronologically and publications from the same year marked by small letters (1992 a, b).
