The paper must contain the full name of the authors, without abbreviations.
One of the authors must be designated to account for correspondence and
exchange of information with the Editorial Board (EB) and the Board
of Associate Editors (BAE); the full name and address of the corresponding
author's institution will be included in the header of the published paper.
In the event that none of the authors is a member of Associação Paulista
de Fitopatologia (APF), a one-hundred-real fee (R$ 100.00) must
be paid by check made out to APF to cover for manuscript-processing
costs.
Articles for publication can be submitted to the Summa Phytopathologica
(SP) Editorial Board electronically, or recorded on a floppy disk
or a CD, together with four printed copies, accompanied by a statement
indicating that the paper has not yet been published and is not under
consideration for publication elsewhere, with the agreement of all authors.
After receiving the manuscript, the EB will examine it to determine
whether the theme conforms to the periodical and to the proposed guidelines
and innovation requirements. The authors will be notified by letter if
the manuscript has been accepted or if the text needs adjustments or even
needs to have its publication type changed, in order to be resubmitted.
After being accepted for processing, copies of the paper without authorship
information will be forwarded to three ad hoc referees (AH)
which are specialists in the area, previously selected by the Editorial
Board (EB) and the Board of Associate Editors (BAE). These
AHs will fill out an evaluation card forwarded to them together
with the paper and will accept or deny the publication, making suggestions
to improve the text as to its format and structure, and to ensure that
the methodology and bibliography are up-to-date. All materials must be
returned to the EB and the BAE within 45 days. After the
three opinions have been received and the paper has been accepted by at
least two referees, one of the copies will be submitted for correction
of the abstract and for conformation to bibliographical citation guidelines.
After all corrections have been done, the author will receive the material
and another three unidentified opinions by the advisors, together with
the floppy or CD for their knowledge and for taking steps to conform the
text to the standard of the journal and then resubmit it; this is done
by sending two updated, printed copies plus the CD to the Editorial Board
(EB) and the Board of Associate Editors (BAE) which, after
checking on the corrections proposed by the referees and analyzing the
justifications provided by the authors, will forward the paper; it is
only then that the manuscript will be considered accepted for publication.
Otherwise, the manuscript is returned again to the authors for the necessary
corrections.
Author(s) whose manuscript text has not been accepted for publication
will receive all their copies back, together with the floppy or CD.
With respect to paper illustrations, the author(s) are charged no extra
fees, provided the illustrations are in black and white. However, author(s)
must cover the additional costs of pages that are to be published in color,
after being notified that the paper has been accepted for publication.
In the event of conflicts of interest, the authors must manifest it by
letter via the corresponding author; the letter will be analyzed by the
Editorial Board (EB) and, if deemed necessary, it will be submitted
to the Editorial Council (ECO).
PRINTER'S PROOF
After the paper has undergone desktop publishing and the first print,
a copy will be forwarded to the authors for printer's proof or text review
purposes; necessary corrections should be indicated followed by red circle
marks, and must be returned to the Editorial Board (EB) within
five working days. If this deadline is not met, the paper
will remain on file to be published in a later issue of the periodical.
WRITING GUIDELINES
All papers must be typed on A4 paper (210 x 297 mm), double-spaced, with
3-cm margins; lines and pages must be numbered. The "Times New Roman",
12-point font must be used as standard.
The abstract must contain additional keywords in both English and Portuguese
(not to exceed five words in each, different from those used in the title).
Tables, figures, drawings, photographs and graphs must be presented separately
at the end of the manuscript. The place where they will be inserted in
the body of the text must contain the following instruction: Insert Figure
1; insert Table 1.
Table titles should be placed above the table and figure captions should
be placed on the bottom, and should occupy their entire width. The words
Figure and Table, together with their corresponding numbers, must be written
in boldface. Notations (numbers, letters, and symbols) in tables and figures
must be no smaller than 10 points. Figures, in the form of graphs, must
be prepared on a white background, with borders.
Photos and photomontages must be provided in glossy, A4 paper (210 x
297 mm), in JPEG, with 300 dpi.
Bibliographical citations in the text must be:
a) expressed in numerical form. When authors are part of the context
of a sentence, their names must be capitalized, followed by the citation
number between parentheses. Example: Figueiredo (6).
b) when a paper has more than two authors, the first must be cited followed
by et al.; papers with only two authors require an & (ampersand) sign.
Example: Figueiredo & Coutinho (7).
c) personal communications must be cited as footnotes, containing data
about the informant and the date (month and year) of the information.
d) when more than one citation exists, they must be cited in the text
in numerical ascending order (6, 7, 18).
e) No zeros to the left should be used when numbering citations.
REFERENCE GUIDELINES
References at the end of the text must be presented in alphabetical
order and numbered according to the following formats:

DESCRIPTORS
In scientific names, use the Latin binomial nomenclature, with the genus
and species names written in full. The authority or descriptor must be
added the first time the citation is made in the body of the paper. In
the subsequent times when it is written in the text, the abbreviated form
can be used for the genus. Example: Colletotrichum gloeosporioides
(Penz.) Sacc., the first time, and C. gloeosporioides subsequently.
Viruses must be designated by their corresponding species name
(ICTV guidelines) in English, italicized and with the first letter capitalized
for species recognized by the ICTV, followed by the acronyms. In subsequent
times, use the corresponding acronym only. Example: Cucumber
mosaic virus, CMV.
ABBREVIATIONS
Molecular weight expressed in Daltons (Da) or Kilo Dalton (KDa). Metric
system: use L (liter), mL (milliliter), L (microliter), do not
use ppm (parts per million) butg/mL, do not use ton. (tons)
but megagrams.
Time units: seconds (s), minutes (min), and hours (h).
Temperature units expressed as Celsius degrees. Example: 25 oC.
Chemicals: use technical names (active principle), not capitalized.
UNFORESEEN MATTERS
Provisions not set out in these guidelines will be given by the Editorial
