Dear Authors,
As you probably know, Zootaxa does not have technical editors. Preparing manuscripts according to Zootaxa format requirements is the responsibility of the authors. In my role of editor for Staphyliniformia I am responsible for the scientific aspects of the manuscripts and for management of the peer review process. I do not have time to format your manuscripts for you. In order to help you I am putting together this web page. Please follow instructions to avoid delays in processing of your manuscripts.
Many thanks,
Vladimir Gusarov
Please pay particular attention to the following:
- Illustrations
- References
- Formatting the text: paragraphs, indents, blank lines, etc.
- Use of hyphen, n-dash and m-dash
