Makra, Sz.: Mihály Malán (1900-1968): biographical sketch and selected bibliography

Annales historico-naturales Musei nationalis hungarici (Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung.) INSTRUCTION TO AUTHORS Annales historico-naturúes Musei nationalis hungarici is an international journal which is a non-profit oriented publication forum for the accepted papers in the fields of mineralogy, paleontology, botany, zoology, physical anthropology and history of natural sciences. It is published yearly by the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM). At least one of the authors must be a staff member of the HNHM, or the paper must be based at least partly on the material deposited in the HNHM. Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Monographic, comprehensive and revisional works are preferred. Purely faunistic works containing distribution records of well-known groups or common species are not preferred. Very short manuscripts with isolated descriptions of a single species are generally discouraged, especially for taxa with large number of undescribed species. These short manuscripts may be returned to authors without consideration. Short papers on species of economic, environmental, historical or phylogenetic importance may be accepted at the discretion of the editorial board, who will generally encourage and advise authors to add value to the paper by providing more information (e.g. checklist of or key to species of the genus, biological information, etc.). Papers must be in English with British spelling, in German or in French. All manuscripts must be submitted to the editor (Dr. OTTÓ MERKL) until 1 December every year. Entire manuscripts must be submitted via e-mail or on IBM compatible CD-ROM (saved as Word for Windows). In the case of multiple authors, the corresponding author should be indicated. 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 (including e-mail address) of the author(s). Abstract should be a brief summary of the contents and conclusions of the paper, and should not be longer than 200 words without 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 should 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. The results section should not be used for discussion. Discussion should be separate from the results section and should deal with the significance ofthe results and their relationship to the object of the work (and, this is the place of the identification key in taxonomic revisions). Individual descriptions should be divided into paragraphs and marked as Diagnosis, Description, Remarks, Distribution, Etymology, etc. Acknowledgements (at most in 10 lines). References should be detailed in the following order: authors' names and initials (all authors!), date of publication, title of the article, title of the journal in full, volume number, and page range, e.g. NORRBOM, A. L. & KIM, K. C. 1985: Taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of Copromya Fallén (s.S.) (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae). - Annals of the Entomological Society of America 7'8: 331-347. For books the authors' names, date of publication, title, edition, publisher's name, 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 of Nearctic 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). Papers not cited must not be listed in the references. When a citation includes more than two authors, e.g. GREY, BLACK & WHITE, the paper should be referred to in the text as GREY et al., 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, b, c, etc., e.g. MARSHALL (1992a). References to papers "in press" must mean that the article has been accepted for publication. References to "personal communications" and unpublished work are permitted in the text only: references to papers in preparation or submitted are not permissible. All necessary illustrations should accompany the manuscript, but should not be inserted in the text.
