TO: Readers of the Chlamydomonas Newsgroup:
I have recently become a decision Editor for PROTOPLASMA and wish to
take this opportunity to encourage researchers in the Chlamydomonas community
to consider submitting manuscripts to PROTOPLASMA. The journal has recently
reorganized its Editorial Board, is expanding its scope and introducing new
and exciting features. In addition to the regular categories of research
articles, rapid publications and review articles, there is a new feature
called "New Ideas in Cell Biology" which is neither strictly for research
articles or review articles. They are short opinion/discussion pieces on
fast moving and controversial areas of cell biology with no fixed format.
PROTOPLASMA has no page charges, offers one free color plate per article
and provides 100 free reprints per article. You are welcome to make
suggestions for reviewers (and for individuals you would prefer not be used
as reviewers). Authors are also encouraged to submit a B&W or color
photograph for use on the cover. Manuscripts for regular research articles,
rapid publication articles, review articles or "New Ideas" pieces can be sent
to me at:
