1. Klapalekiana, the official journal of the Czech
Entomological Society, publishes original contributions focused on faunistics,
taxonomy, ecology and ethology of Arthropoda, with emphasis on Central Europe.
Full papers as well as short notes, reviews, relevant personalia and information
on activities of CES can be accepted. Papers submitted must not have been
published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors must follow the latest
edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
Klapalekiana is covered by Entomology Abstracts and Zoological
Record.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically by e-mail (klapalekiana@gmail.com)
2. Only papers in clear and concise English, German, Czech or Slovak
will be accepted. Manuscripts should be organised as follows:
informative and concise title, author(s) name(s), full postal address (incl.
e-mail), key words, abstract, introduction, material and methods, results,
discussion, conclusions, acknowledgements, references, Czech or Slovak
summary, figure legends, figures, tables (italicised sections may be
omitted or merged together if necessary; consult recent issues for shorter
contributions).
Use only RTF (Rich Text Format), DOC or DOCX (Word for Windows) for the
text. Use single-column type- setting with unjustified right
margin, and consecutively numbered. Key words (5–10) and abstract (not
exceeding 3000 characters) must be in English. A summary in Czech or Slovak
[English or German] is needed for contributions written in English or German
[Czech or Slovak] and exceeding 1–2 printed pages. Czech or Slovak summary can
be prepared by the editors on request.
Italicise only names of the genus and species rank, except in the
reference list, and, in the references, the book and journal titles including
their translations. CAPITALISE only the chapter titles in the text and the
authors’ names in the references. Use “m*” for males and “f*” for
females (e.g., 1 m*, 5 ff). Names of the genus and species rank
should be given unabbreviated on the first appearance (in abstract separately);
for animal names including the author’s name, year and, if appropriate,
parentheses. Use consistently abbreviated form on subsequent appearances except
for ambiguous cases. Faunistic data should be given in the
following order: country (further specified if appropriate), precise locality
including a grid mapping code and/or coordinates if available, date, number of
specimens (sexes), collecting data if appropriate, collector’s name,
determination data etc. (see example given in the Czech version above). Data
based on specimens reared from immature stages (eggs, larvae, pupae) must be
accompanied by the collection date of the latter.
Figures can be submitted electronically consecutively numbered
and arranged into tables. They should be one to two times the final printed size
(printing area measures 12.9 × 18.7 cm). Computer-generated graphics must be
of at least 600 dpi (optimally 1200 dpi) resolution in final print size for
black and white (e.l. 1 bit monochrome line art) and at least 300 dpi for
grayscale or colour, attached separately and not embedded in the main text. JPEG
and TIFF formats (with LZW compression) are strongly preferred. Other formats
such as Corel Draw (CDR) will be accepted only in exceptional cases.
Tables should be numbered separately and submitted as separate
files prepared in plain text format (DOC, Word for Windows), using tabulator to
separate columns and paragraph (“enter”) to separate lines, or as simple
spreadsheet (XLS, XLSX in Excel for Windows). Avoid elaborate formatting.
Figure and table captions should be placed at the end of
manuscript and should be self-explanatory, without reference to the text or
other illustrations. Figures and tables should be referred to as Fig./Figs/Abb.
and Table/Tabelle, respectively. Their approximate positions may be indicated in
the text.
3. Examples of citation in the text:
Hůrka (1996), (Hůrka 1996), Pavelka & Trezner (2001), (Pavelka &
Trezner 2001), Brown et al. (2008) (three or more authors).
References matching the text citations should be arranged first
in alphabetical order under author(s) name(s) and then chronologically if
several papers of the same author are cited. Use a,b,c etc. after the year to
distinguish papers published by the same author(s) in the same year. Journal
names should be unabbreviated; use only volume numbers (do not add the issue
number in parentheses) if the volume is numbered consecutively. For citation of
unpublished master or Ph.D. thesis, see Ježková (1974) below. Internet pages
should be cited as Fibiger & Skule (2010) below, incl. author names, full
title, address (starting with http:// or https://) and date of access in
brackets.

4. Faunistic Records from the Czech Republic The section “Faunistic records from the Czech Republic” publishes only (1) records of species new to the Czech Republic (Bohemia, Moravia); (2) records confirming the occurrence of a given species in the territory (i.e., if pre- vious records are doubtful or not verified) or (3) records confirming the occurrence of species not recorded for a long time (previous records are very old, e.g. first half of 20th century) or supposed to be extinct. For the standardised style for contributions, consult recent issues of the journal and the hypothetical example of a faunistic record given in the Czech version above.
5. All papers are reviewed by the editorial board and by
one or two referees. Manuscripts not conforming to the present
instructions will be returned to the authors before consideration. The
editors reserve the right to make minor textual corrections that do not alter
the original meaning.
Authors will receive one set of proofs. A PDF of each paper is supplied free of
charge.
