Restoration and Reclamation Review
Instructions for Authors

Restoration and Reclamation Review is a student journal for the University of Minnesota's Restoration and Reclamation Ecology Class (Hort 5015/5071). Papers are reviewed by two members of the class as well as the course instructor. Authors are expected to address all comments and suggestions made by reviewers prior to acceptance for inclusion in the journal. All articles should conform to the following conventions (adapted from Restoration Ecology, Blackwell Scientific).

Articles
Texts of articles should be between 7 and 9 pages, double-spaced, 11 point font with margins of 1". Times New Roman is the preferred font.

Three paper copies of the first draft of the manuscript should be submitted. A reviewer's evaluation form should be stapled on the front of each paper. There should not be a separate title page; the title and authors name should appear at the top of the first full page of the manuscript.

For organisms cite scientific name followed by common name in parentheses. Thereafter, scientific names are recommended, but either may be used if used consistently.

Tables should be single-spaced, without vertical rules and should not duplicate material in the text (but should be referenced). Brief headings should be placed at the top of all tables. Figures should be original drawings (or photographs) or authors need to have written permission from the author or publisher. All figures should have a brief heading and should be referenced in the text.

References in the text should be interted in parentheses in chronological order, as follows: (Johnson and Van Cleve 1976, Cairns 1981, Platkin et al. 1989). The reference list should be in alphabetical order according to the first-named author. Papers with two authors ahould follow those of the first named author, arranged in alphabetical order according to the second author. Papers with more than 2 authors should follow in chronological order. All authors' names, date, title of book or article, publisher and place of publication must be included.
