Hi Everyone,

 

It is time for another issue of ARGIA and I would like to solicit any
articles, notes, or other information that you think the readers might
enjoy.  You can send content to me anytime, but I would like your
submissions by no later than Feb. 25th to be considered for this issue.  If
you are not familiar with ARGIA, it is the News Journal for the Dragonfly
Society of the Americas.  Information about both the journal and the society
can be found on OdonataCentral at
http://www.odonatacentral.org/index.php/PageAction.get/name/DSAHomePage and
I have pasted the Instructions to Authors below.

 

Cheers and my apologies for cross-posting.

John

Instructions to Authors for ARGIA Submissions

 

Digital submissions of all materials (via e-mail or CD) are vastly preferred
to hardcopy. If digital submissions are not possible, contact the Editor
before sending anything. All material must be sent directly to the Editor,
John C. Abbott <jcabbott at mail.utexas.edu>.

 

All articles and notes are preferably submitted in Word or Rich Text Format,
without any figures or tables, or their captions, embedded. Only minimal
formatting to facilitate review is needed—single column with paragraph
returns and bold/italic type where necessary. Include captions for all
figures and tables in a separate document.

 

Include a title, author name(s), and contact information (especially email)
with a line between each.  The article or note should follow this
information.  Paragraphs should be separated by a line and the first line
should not be indented.  Where possible always refer to the scientific name
of a species followed by its official common name in parentheses.

 

Submit figures individually as separate files, named so that each can be
easily identified and matched with its caption. Requirements vary depending
on the type of graphic.

 

Photographs and other complex (continuous tone) raster graphics should be
submitted as TIFF (preferred) or JPEG files with a minimum of 300 ppi at the
intended print size. If unsure about the final print size, keep in mind that
over-sized graphics can be scaled down without loss of quality, but they
cannot be scaled up without loss of quality. The printable area of a page of
Argia or BAO is 6.5 × 9.0 inches, so no graphics will exceed these
dimensions. Do not add any graphic features such as text, arrows, circles,
etc. to photographs. If these are necessary, include a note to the Editor
with the figure’s caption, describing what is needed. The editorial staff
will crop, scale, sample, and enhance photographs as deemed necessary and
will add graphics requested by the author.  

 

Charts, graphs, diagrams, and other vector graphics (e.g. computer-drawn
maps) are best submitted in Illustrator format or EPS. If this is not
possible, then submit as raster graphics (PNG or TIFF) with a minimum of 600
ppi at the intended print size. You may be asked to provide the raw data for
charts and graphs if submitted graphics are deemed to be unsatisfactory.
When charts and graphs are generated in Excel, please submit the Excel
document with each chart or graph on a separate sheet and each sheet named
appropriately (e.g. “Fig. 1”, “Fig. 2”, etc.)

 

Tables may be submitted as Word documents or Excel spreadsheets. If Excel is
used, place each table on a separate sheet and name each sheet appropriately
(e.g. “Table 1”, “Table 2”, etc.)
