Rules for Contributions to Barley Genetics Newsletter (BGN)

1. The information in this Newsletter is of an informal nature to stimulate thought and to exchange ideas among barley geneticists. Before quoting any statements in the BGN, contact the contributor(s) involved, with the following exception decided at the Second International Barley Genetics Symposium at Washington State University, Pullman, July, 1969:

   "With regard to symbols and stock designations, the Newsletter (BGN) concerned with symbols, stock lists and linkage maps may be cited without permission...".

2. Manuscripts should be written in English and should be brief.

3. Prepare all linkage maps and/or figures (photos and line drawings) on a separate sheet from the text. This enables the editors to incorporate these items in appropriate places in the BGN. The figures should be prepared in the same way as the manuscript for journals. Line drawings and linkage maps should be original, NOT Xerox copy.

4. Typewritten original manuscript and a carbon or Xerox copy should be sent to the editor. The manuscript should be typed in double space. Each paper should be prepared separately.

5. Manuscripts should be prepared carefully and proof-read after typed, because the editors do not have responsibility for any error or mistake even though editor makes corrections of an obvious error. I

6. A limited number of black and white photographs will be accepted. The photographs should be of good quality. The editorial committee reserves the right to make selection if it is necessary. The number of photos should be limited to a minimum. In order to save cost of reproduction and get better quality, all photos will be reduced for reproduction in the Newsletter. Therfore, please prepare your original picture larger than the size to be printed.

7. Lined figures: If you would like to keep the original figures, please send a glossy photo of the original to the editor, but NOT a Xerox copy.

8. Please give your complete mailing address including the name of the country in all correspondence.
