Articles on any aspect of nannoplankton work are welcome, including discussion, review, synthesis, and methodology articles, as well as those containing comprehensive range-chart data and good quality plates of uncommon taxa. The JNR is valid for descriptions of new taxa, as long as these are in accordance with the rules of the current International Code of Botanical Nomenclature(ICBN). Articles should be clearly and concisely written, in English; the title should be informative; the article should contain a short abstract giving a comprehensive overview of the article, and up to 10 keywords.
Twenty-five reprints will be provided free; additional reprints cannot normally be ordered.
Bibliographies are produced by the Bibliographers (Mario Cachao et al., Kevin McCartney). Any suggestions, reprints of articles, and details of omissions should be sent to them directly.
Text Two printed copies of initial articles (including figures, tables and plates) must be sent, along with an electronic file (preferably MS Word) of the text via e-mail (the file name should comprise your surname and date of submission). Use 12 point Times font, double line-spacing and number the pages. The reviewers and Editor will correct minor problems with the English and grammar of non-native speakers, but it is suggested that non-native speakers have their manuscripts checked by a confident English-speaker before submission to avoid problems with ambiguity in the text.
Do not format the text - no heading formatting, font changes, indenting, page breaks, columns, footnotes, headers, and do not paste/embed figures or tables into the text.
References should follow the style of the JNR (see below). Use either full references or standard (World List) abbreviations. All (but only) references used in the text must appear in the reference list.

EndNote style - users of the EndNote bibliography program can download a style file for JNR. (To use this place in the style folder; open style manager; mark the style as a favorite; select from the output styles menu).

Figures should ideally be composed in Adobe Illustrator (v.10 or older), CorelDraw (v.11 or older) although any programs which allow files to be saved as EPS files can be accommodated. Use Times font where possible (avoid using uncommon fonts and multiple fonts). Bear in mind that figures may be reduced in size in the final publication (8cm/16cm x 22cm), so avoid fine detail on maps, be aware that small and/or bold lettering may not reproduce well, etc. Do not embed figures in the text.Tables, especially range-charts, should ideally be composed in MS Excel, or in a program that allows files to be saved as EPS files. Use Times font. Do not embed tables in the text. Bear in mind that tables may be reduced in the final publication (8cm/16cm x 22cm) but that range-charts can be carried on over several pages. Note that range-charts should include all informa- tion, not selected taxa.
Plates should ideally be composed in Adobe Illustrator (v.10 or older),CorelDraw (v.11 or older) although any programs that allow files to be saved as TIFF files can be accommodated. Plates should be no larger than 165mm wide x 220mm long. The taxon name and sample number (and any other necessary infor- mation) should appear on the plate, beneath the relevant photo, where possible, although these can be added by the Editor. Use Times font. Figure numbers (Times, bold) should be placed in the bottom, left-hand corner (black or white type) but these can be added by the Editor. Do not put the plate number on the plate - this will be added by the Editor. Scale-bars, not magnifications, must be included on the plate. All negatives or captured images should be catalogued and deposited in a repository, and the neg- ative/image numbers and repository location should be cited in the plate description or within the text. The Editor reserves the right to make adjustments to improve the quality of plates.
Text Send final manuscripts by e-mail or on computer disc (CD or Zip-100). Please remember to include the reviewers in your acknowledgements - the review process is essential to the furtherance of our science, and it commonly takes a day of unpaid time to review a manuscript. Indicate in the text approx- imately where figures should appear. Remove page numbering.
Figures/tables Ideally, submit as EPS-compatible files, or as Excel files for tables. Each figure must be a separate file.
Plates Ideally, submit as TIFF files. Each plate should be a separate file. Please do not send files which are >10Mb via e- mail.
Colour plates and diagrams can now only be published at extra cost to the authors. This can, however, be very effective for light microscopy illustration of nannoplankton - see example below - please consult the editor for rates etc.
Supplementary material can be submitted for publication on the INA WWW site. This can include data tables, colour images, additional images, additonal text documentation, etc. Material for WWW publication should be sent to the JNR editor. The web editor (Jeremy Young) will post all such data on the datafiles area of the INA WWW site, timed to coincide with print publication.
We will also be happy to consider short text articles accompanied by extensive WWW supplementary documentation, as a pathway for documenting data-intensive studies which might otherwise not be published.
