How to Submit Articles
The preferred method of submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Phycology is through our on-line manuscript submission and review system, Manuscript Central, a ScholarOne product that is provided by Wiley-Blackwell Publishing. To submit your manuscript, please go to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jpy.
All authors should carefully review the publisher's Author Guidelines prior to submission.
The on-line submission is a step-by-step process and full instructions are provided and additional support is available on-line. Authors will be able to track the progress of their manuscripts and will be notified when referee and editor comments are available on-line. We are very excited about launching this new site and we hope that you will enjoy using it. Use of Manuscript Central will facilitate the transfer of manuscripts between Associate Editors and reviewers. It is our hope that Manuscript Central will decrease the time from submission to editorial decision and we hope that reviewers will find the system beneficial and less time consuming than the paper system or e-mail system.
For further information on submission of articles, contact the managing editor.
