Abstract
The following suggestions are presented in order to minimize revisions and editorial corrections. Uniformity of style and format necessitates attention to detail by authors. More information is available from the Nebraska Academy of Sciences, 306 Morrill Hall, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588.
STYLE. Recent issues of the Transactions should be examined so that authors become familiar with its general style. The page size of the Transactions will be 8.5 x 11 inches, and the text will be printed in double columns. Manuscripts should be neatly typewritten on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wide margins and double-spacing throughout. Pages should be numbered consecutively. Extensive quotations in the text should be typed with slightly narrower margins, and should be single-spaced. Words and numerals to appear in italics should be underlined in the typed copy. Acceptable symbols should be used for units of measurement; e.g., see Style Manual For Biological Journals, compiled by the Conference of Biological Editors of the American Institute of Biological Sciences, 2000 P Street, N.W. Washington D.C. 20036.
Title is to be typed in capital letters. Scientific names of organisms in the title should be underlined. The author's name should be typed in capital letters below the title. The address of the department, institution, city and state which are to be credited with supporting the author and his work should by typed (caps and lower case) below the author's name and underlined. If more than one institution is to be credited, their names should appear in the order corresponding with the author's names.
