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

All illustrations should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals in the order in which they are referred to in the text. Figures should be of gooii quality. Explanation of lettering and symbols should be given in the figure caption and only exceptionally in the figures. Lettering and symbols to appear on the illustration should be of sufficient size to allow for considerable reduction where necessary (usually proper for a 50% reduction in size). Scales must be indicated on micrographs, not by magnifications in the legends. Figure size must not exceed 24x30 cm. On the back of each illustration the following should be indicated: the author's name, the figure number (in Arabic numerals), and the top of the illustration, where this is not clear. Digital figures should be submitted in TIFF (line drawing scanned at 600 dpi and half tone at 300 dpi; please use LZW compression, to reduce the size of e-files for easy transmission); if halftone TIFF files are too big (exceeding 2 MB), then submit them in jpcg. Details of publication of colour plates should be made to the editor. Legends to figures should give sufficient data to make the illustration comprehensible without reference to the text. Tables and appendices should be constructed so as to be intelligible without reference to the text, numbered in Arabic numerals and typed on separate sheets. Every table should be provided with an explanatory caption and each column should carry an appropriate heading. Units of measure should always be indicated clearly (metric units are preferred). All tables and figures must be referred to in the text. Authors are asked to kindly respect the following typing rules: A) Do not type: any word by using Capslock or Format Character Uppercase; multiple spaces; multiple tabs; multiple points, etc. Do not type tabs outside tables. Between numerals use en dash (-), not a hyphen (-). B) Do not make any words expanded. C) Do not use Format Bullets and Numbering. D) Personal names should be typed in small caps, except for authors that are listed in the title of a publication in a reference. E) Symbols for the sexes make as "#" for male and "$" for female, but typing them as whole words is preferred. Never make them as e.g. "o" completed with hand-written marks. F) Abbreviations for all taxonomical novelties are used, in all languages, in a Latinized form, e.g. "gen. n.", "sp. n.", "stat. n.". G) Data about primary types (Holo-, Lecto-, Neo- and Syntypes) are required as a quotation of the original writing, i.e. re-written from labels and put in quotation marks; this is not obligatory in the other type categories or other material listed. H) Do not duplicate a reference by using its abbreviated literature source in the preceding parts of your text plus its full citation in the References section at the end. I) Only standard abbreviations should be used. Arbitrary abbreviations and jargon will not be accepted. J) Latin names should be given for all species used in the investigation, although taxonomic affiliation and authority need not be provided in the title. Author and year of description should be mentioned at least when the genus-group or species-group taxon is mentioned at first in the text. Authors of taxa must not be abbreviated. Page proofs will be sent to the author (or the corresponding author in a paper of multiple authorship) for checking. Corrections to the proofs must be restricted to printers' errors. Any substantial alteration other than these may be charged to the author. Authors are particularly requested to return their corrected proofs as quickly as possible in order to facilitate rapid publication. Please note that authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before return, since late corrections cannot be guaranteed for inclusion in the printed journal. Twenty reprints free of charge and a free e-reprint (PDF) for personal use will be sent to the (corresponding) author; extra copies of the issue (at a specially reduced rate) can be ordered from the Editor.
