Annules historico-naturales Musei nationalis hungarici (Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung.) INSTRUCTION TO AUTHORS Annales historico-naturales Musei nationalis hungarici is an international journal which is a nonprofit oriented publication forum for the accepted papers in the fields of mineralogy, paleontology, botany, zoology, physical anthropology and history of sciences. It is published yearly by the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM). Manuscripts are accepted if they are at least partly based on materials deposited in the HNHM or at least one of the authors is a staff member of the HNHM. Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted for the Annales, the authors will transfer copyright to the HNHM as is customary. Articles and illustrations become the property of the HNHM. Papers must be in English with British spelling, in German or in French. All manuscripts must be submitted to the editor (Dr. Ottó Merkl). Entire manuscripts must be submitted on IBM compatible floppy disk (preferably saved as Word for Windows 6 or its later version) and in duplicate printed copies, and the author should retain a copy. In the case of multiple authors, the corresponding author should be indicated. Manuscripts must be printed with double spacing (including the reference list), and with wide margins (30-35 mm) on one side of the sheet only. Authors are requested to keep their communications as concise as possible. Footnotes should be avoided or minimized. The manuscript should contain the following information: Title should be followed by the name and full address of the author(s). Where possible, e-mail address of the corresponding author should be supplied with the manuscript. Abstract should be a brief summary of the contents and conclusions of the paper, and should not be longer than 200 words and should not contain references. Key words should not be more than ten key word entries. Introduction should contain a brief survey of the relevant literature and the reasons for doing the work. Materials and Methods supply sufficient information to permit repetition of the experimental or field work. The technical description of methods should be given only when such methods are new. Results should be presented concisely. Only in exceptional cases will it be permissible to present the same set of results in both table and a figure. The results section should not be used for discussion. Discussion should be separate from the results section and should deal with the significance of the results and their relationship to the object of the work (and, this is the place of the identification key in taxonomie revisions). Individual descriptions should be divided in paragraphs and should be marked as Diagnosis, Description, Remarks, Distribution, Etymology, etc. Acknowledgements (at most in 10 lines). References. In principle the Harvard system is to be followed. References should be detailed in the following order: authors' names and initials (all authors!), date of publication (in parentheses), the title of the article, the name of the journal (not in abbreviated form!), the volume, and the first and last pages of the article, e.g. NORRBOM, A. L. & KIM, K. C. (1985): Taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of Copromyza Fallen (s.s.) (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae). - Annals of the Entomological Society of America 78: 331-347. For books the authors' names, date of publication, title, edition, publisher's name, the place of publication and page reference should be given, e.g. HINTON, H. E. (1981): Biology of insect eggs, vol. 2. - Pergamon Press, New York, 234 pp. or MCALPINE, J. F. ( 1981 ): Morphology and terminology, adults. - In: McALPINE, J. F. (ed.): Manual ofNearctic Diptera, vol. 1. Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, pp. 9-63. The "References" may not be confused with studied literature. Each reference must be mentioned at least once in the text. In the text references should be given as MARSHALL (1992) or (MARSHALL 1992). When a citation includes more than two authors, e.g. GREY, BLACK & WHITE, the paper should be referred to in the text as GREY etal., provided that this is not ambiguous. If papers by the same author(s) in the same year are cited, they should be distinguished by the letters, a, h, c, etc., e.g. MARSHALL (1992a).
