Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association Information for Contributors.

Each regular article must be accompanied by an abstract not longer than 1 paragraph (~3% of the paper). The abstract should state the objectives, findings, and conclusions of the paper. List 5 keywords, to be used in the subject index, that best represent the contents of the article. The paper should be divided as follows: Abstract, Key Words, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, and References Cited. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum, be numbered continuously throughout the manuscript and be typed as endnotes on a separate page. General Formatting General text style includes the use of serial commas (apples, bananas, and oranges), except in the references when multiple authors are listed (Jones, Smith and Johnson). You may not begin sentences with abbreviations, including genus species abbreviations; spell out states mentioned without cities and spell out the names of months; use the 2-letter abbreviations for mosquito genera after the first mention in abstract, text, or table; always use numerals, except to begin a sentence. An acronym or abbreviation may be used only after the full name has been spelled out on the first use in the abstract, text, tables, and figure captions, e.g., World Health Organization (WHO). Cite unpublished data and personal communications parenthetically in text, e.g., (Strickman and Kittayapong, unpublished data); and cite references in text using parenthetical entries in chronological, then alphabetical order, e.g., (Harrison 1990, Baimai 1992) or (Gabaldon 1990a, 1990b; Mekuria et al. 1991). Please note that a comma is used between names if 1 publication year is referenced per author. A semicolon is used between names if multiple years are listed per author. References Cited The References Cited list should only include papers cited. Citation should conform to the style presented in these instructions. For extended guidance, authors may consult Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (7 ed.), Council of Science Editors, Inc. (the CSE Manual). References are alphabetized according to author name. To alphabetize author names, include all letters of the author surnames and initials or of the organization name or its abbreviation. When the author name of 2 or more references is identical, use the publication dates to order those references chronologically. Do not use et al., but list all authors. Abbreviations for journals are in accordance with the latest edition of BIOSIS Serial Sources. Spell out names of cities, use postal abbreviations for states (CA, MO, MI), and spell out names of countries outside the United States. The state is not required unless the city is not well known (e.g., Philadelphia and New York, but Emmaus, PA). Please note that publication titles (not article titles) are in italic type.
