Revision of the publication style of iDarwn
SAITOU Naruya
Editor-in-Chief, iDarwin
From volume 0 of iDarwin, we used all capital letters to designate surnames of authors in References. However, all-capital letterwords are not easy to read, and typing capital letters is also cumbersome. I thus proposed other Core Editors to change thespelling style of surnames from all-capital letters to capitalize the rst character only. They agreed with this change.
Another feature of iDarwin different from many other journals was avoidance of supplementary les. We asked authors to
prepare Appendix which may correspond to supplementary information. By this way, we keep one work as one downloadable
le. However, authors often need a large table or gure to present data. We thus ask authors to denote URL of supplementarymaterial in their work le. By this way, we keep one work as one downloadable le. After acceptance, we will ask authors to send
supplementary material le(s) to us, and these les will be uploaded to iDarwin website. Other Core Editors also agreed with thischange.
These revisions are incorporated in the current “How to submit your work to iDarwin” (http://idarwin.org/docs/
How_to_Submit_to_iDarwin.pdf). We hope this change will be welcomed by authors.
We will also correct previously published articles of iDarwin following this revision.
For the record and to respect the past activity of iDarwin, the previous version of “How to submit your work to iDarwin”, updated
on February 12, AS 0021 (2021 A.D.), is given below.

Volume 2**Nowadays many journal articles include supplementary information that are separated from main paper. However, this is only
good for publishers but not for readers. We therefore ask authors to use Appendix which may correspond to supplementary
information. By this way, we keep one work as one downloadable le.
When you are ready to submit your work, please send Submitter Information File and your work
idarwin.editorial.of ce@nig.ac.jp. Both les should be in pdf format.
