Manuscript Submission
All manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the Allen Press PeerTrack™ system at: www.editorialmanager.com/jncas/ . Manuscripts will no longer be accepted as hard copies or email attachments.
Manuscript format
Manuscripts should consist of the following parts (organized in this sequence): title and authors; abstract and key words; body text, acknowledgments, and literature cited; figure captions; figures; and tables. Use one-inch margins. It is not necessary to paginate your document nor to number the lines as Allen Press PeerTrack™ does this automatically.
Short Notes
Typescripts less than four pages can be published as Notes. They should follow the same format as regular length articles, but without an abstract or headings other than Literature Cited. Keywords are placed between the title and the first line of text.
