[Odonata-l] Request for ARGIA Contributions

[John Abbott]

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 May 27th 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.
 
Thanks in advance for your contributions,
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.)
