| Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology Abstract Submission Requirements |
Format
for abstracts submitted to the Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology from
the annual meeting of the Canadian Phytopathological Society and from
all regional meetings of the CPS:
Word processor
- Microsoft Word preferred but Word Perfect O.K.
Abstract font
- Times New Roman font and 12 po preferred
Abstract title
- in bold, scientific names bold and italicized
- only the first word of the title, proper names, and scientific names have the first letter capitalized
Author names
- in normal font, initial(s) first, followed by last name (e.g. A.B. Smith and C.B. Jones)
Affiliations
- in italics and need to include postal address and postal code (no
abbreviations except for province or state names)
- first affiliation should be that of the first author. If other
authors have different affiliations, those affiliations should start
with the author's initials, e.g. (C.B.J.)
Abstract body
- in normal font with scientific names italicized
- should be no more than 210 words
- scientific authorities are to be given for all Latin names the first
time they are mentioned in the body of the abstract
- abbreviations, nomenclature, symbols for units of measurements, etc.
are to conform to the requirements for manuscripts submitted to CJPP
(see volume 27(1), 2005 for instructions to authors)
Below the abstract clearly indicate the following:
- name of the person presenting the abstract along with a telephone number and/or email address
- names of two people (other than the authors) who critically read the abstract
- when the abstracts are compiled for publication in CJPP, this
information will be omitted and the abstracts put in alphabetical order
according to the author names
The
following is an example of how an abstract should appear. Examples of
abstracts published in CJPP can be found in volume 27(1):145-172
(2005). One section that some authors do not pay enough attention to
with respect to format is the affiliations. Complete addresses should
be given in the format shown below. Another area that some authors
neglect is providing the scientific authorities for Latin names. If
authors do not provide the correct format, they may be asked to do so
before their abstract will be published.
The title of the abstract is to be bold. K.L. Conn , Z.K. Punja, and S. Jabaji-Hare .
Southern Crop Protection and Food Research Centre, Agriculture and
Agri-Food Canada, 1391 Sandford Street, London, ON N5V 4T3, Canada;
(Z.K.P.) Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University,
8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada; and (S.J.-H.)
Department of Plant Science, McGill University , Macdonald Campus, 21
111 Lakeshore Road, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue , QC H9X 3V9 , Canada .
The
body of the abstract (not including the title, author names, and
affiliations) should be carefully written to stay within the limit of
210 words. An abstract should contain a description of the problem,
results, and concluding statement. The abstract should be concise with
just enough information to introduce your subject and generate
interest. Abstracts should be typed as single space. Use the text font
Times New Roman and 12 po. For stylistic and technical guidelines for
the Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology consult volume 27 (1) I-4-5
(2005). Scientific authorities are to be given for all Latin names the
first time they are mentioned in the body of the abstract. Cultivar
names are to have single quotation marks around them every time they
are mentioned. All abbreviations are to be spelled out in full the
first time they are mentioned in the body of the text. Authors are to
have their abstract(s) proofread by two colleagues for clarity and
grammar.
