STUDIA BOTANICA HUNGARICA An international journal on botany Instruction to contributors 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 Studia botanica hungarica, the contributors will transfer copyright to the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM) as it is customary. Articles and illustrations become the property of the HNHM. Submission of manuscripts is continuous without any deadlines. The journal is issued once a year, usually in summer. Manuscripts of botanists of the HNHM or botanists working on the collections of HNHM are privileged. Papers must be in English with British spelling (or exceptionally German, Spanish or Hungarian), and be original contributions in the field of botany. All manuscripts must be submitted to one of the editors (editor, assistant editor). Entire manuscripts must be submitted on IBM compatible floppy disk and in duplicate printed copies and the contributor should retain a copy. In case of multiple authors, the corresponding author should be indicated. Series of numbered papers will not be considered. Manuscripts must be printed with double spacing (including the reference list), and with wide margins (30-35 mm) on the left side of the paper only. Contributors are requested to keep their communications as concise as possible. Footnotes should be avoided or minimized, and italics should not be used for emphasis. A running head of not more than 30 letters should be supplied. The structure and further information of the manuscripts are recommended below: Title should be followed by the name (incl. also the first name) and full address of the contributor(s). Where possible, the fax and/or e-mail number of the corresponding author should be supplied with the manuscript, for use by the publisher. 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 five (exceptionally 6) 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 figure. The results section should not be used for discussion (unless it is joined as Results and 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 taxonomic revisions). Acknowledgements (at most in 10 lines). References should be detailed in the following order: name(s) and initials of contributors, date of publication (in parentheses followed by colon), the title of the article, the name of the journal (abbreviated as usual in the journal itself), the volume, and the first and last pages of the article, e.g. JÁRAI-KOMLÓDI, M. and Zs. MEDZIHRADSZKY (1993): Aeropollen research in the air of Budapest in 1992. -Studia bot. hung. 24: 45^19. For books the author's names, date of publication, title, edition, page reference, publisher's name and the place of publication should be given, e.g. BRIDSON, D. and L. FORMAN (eds) (1992): The herbarium handbook. Revised edition. - Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, 303 pp. or ZÓLYOMI, B. (1958): Budapest környékének természetes növénytakarója.
