Methodological papers will only be accepted if they are of fundamental importance to chromosome research. In the Chromosoma Focus invited mini reviews, comments and meeting reports will be published. Such contributions will be accepted only after prior approval of a member of the Editorial Board. Preliminary papers and short notes, as well as papers that merely repeat or confirm already published information, will not be accepted. Please include at the end of the acknowledgements a declaration that the experiments comply with the current laws of the country in which the experiments were performed.
Every effort is made to keep publication time short.
Manuscripts not prepared according to these instructions will be returned to the authors for revision. This may result in a delay in publication. Rejected manuscripts will only be returned to the authors when they contain important original comments from the referees. To facilitate communication between the authors, editors and publisher, the author should furnish an e-mail address or fax number on the title page of the manuscript. Manuscripts must be arranged in the form evident from recent issues of Chromosoma.
