Notes:

1.      Follow all Island Press instructions for preparation of text and resolution. These will be provided by email.

2.      Respect word length and figure/table limits.

3.      No abstracts.

4.      Do not use colour pictures and colour graphs.

5.      Make each point with a single readily available reference; wherever possible, avoid multiple references.

 

Each author should designate a back-up person to deal with editorial issues, in an emergency.

 

 MS will be returned to authors if all guidelines (Island Press and SCOPE) are not followed. This will delay the entire schedule.
