All articles submitted to Profiles in DNA should be written to a broad audience,
addressing individuals with various levels of scientific training and experience.
Estimating Length
The average article in Profiles in DNA has 450 words per page (word count includes
tables), with one third of the space devoted to figures. If there are no figures, allow
a maximum of 600 words per page. Submitted articles are usually 2–4 pages in length
when published using these guidelines.
Article Organization
Longer articles will have the most of the following sections. Shorter articles of 1–2
pages may not include all of these sections.
- Authors: Include the full name and a complete address for each author. Please designate
a corresponding author and include his/her telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address.
- Introduction: An introduction usually accompanies longer articles only. Provide the necessary
background to understand the article.
- Methods: Unless the details of the protocol are central to the article,
list methods in figure legends or table footnotes. Whenever possible, cite a protocol in the literature
or an instruction manual.
- Section Titles: These flags alert the reader to the points that are of the most
interest.
- Acknowledgments: Optional.
- References: Mark these numerically within the text and list in order of appearance. We
do include titles and the page range of each article.
Figures and Graphs
Submit figures in electronic format (tiff or eps format, at least 300dpi), high-quality
photos of figures or laser printouts of line drawings (e.g., graphs). PowerPoint®
images are not acceptable as they are not compatible with
4-color process printing. Schematics,
flowcharts, etc., can be created from rough, yet legible, hand drawings. If figures have been
used in previous publications, you must inform us at the time of submission, since we must obtain
permission from those publications to reprint.
Your submission will be acknowledged promptly by e-mail. If you have comments or would
like more information, contact Terri Sundquist by e-mail at:
