This Guide is a condensed form of the Instructions to Authors , which can be found at the back of the first issue of each volume. Authors should refer to these issues for nomenclature, chemical, and mathematical usage, abbreviations, and symbols that are acceptable to Molecules and Cells .
Copies are available upon request.
In an accompanying cover letter, state the name of the journal, Molecules and Cells , and the address, telephone and fascimile numbers, and email address of the corresponding author. If the paper is a resubmission, the former manuscript number and the year of its submission should also be included. Accepted manuscript will be published with the understanding that the authors have approved the final manuscript and will pay a page charge. As a condition of publication, authors must transfer copyright to Springer-Verlag. In some cases, presentation will be more effective if you combine some of these sections, e.g., Results and Discussion, particularly for short papers.
