Horizons

'Horizons' articles aim to be somewhat provocative, to set hypotheses and to suggest methods for testing them. Based on a critical review of the current issues in a particular field of plankton research, the intention is to stimulate new research and to indicate new directions.

Journal of Plankton Research already publishes comments on, or replies to, published papers. Comments on 'Horizons' articles are particularly encouraged. These should be no more than one side of double spaced A4, with authors' names and addresses. They should be submitted to the Executive Editor within six months of the print publication date of the 'Horizons' article. Comments will then be collated and will be published 2 months later, 8 months after the appearance of the original article. Comments are not refereed, however they may be edited, selected, or rejected as considered appropriate by the Communicating Editor for that article.

From the Current Issue: July 1 2009; 31 (7) [Table of Contents]
