Guidelines for Authors

Guidelines for the RNA Families Track

This track will primarily publish articles describing either: (1) 
substantial updates and reviews of existing RNA families or (2) novel RNA 
families based on computational and/or experimental results for which 
little evolutionary analysis has been published. 

These articles must be accompanied by STOCKHOLM formatted alignments, 
including a consensus secondary structure or structures and corresponding 
Wikipedia article. 

Publication in the track will require a short manuscript, a high quality 
Stockholm alignment and at least one Wikipedia article; Each centered 
around the RNA in question.. (snip)

A short guide to creating your first Wikipedia article:

At least one stub article (essentially an extended abstract) for the 
paper should be added to either an author's userspace at Wikipedia 
(preferred route) or added directly to the main Wikipedia space (be sure 
to add literature references to avoid speedy deletion). 

This article will be reviewed alongside the manuscript and may require 
revision before acceptance. Upon acceptance the former articles can 
easily be exported to the main Wikipedia space. See below for guidelines 
on how to do this. Existing articles can be updated in accordance with 
the latest published results...

Cheers,
Stephen

>   indexing services. One of the major changes in online publication is
>   the release of individual articles prior to the release of a journal

>   (NFAIS), which serves many such organizations, convened a working 
group
>   to look into the problems arising from this practice. They identified
>   the following problems that article-by-article publication posed to
>   indexers: "1) Identifying the article of record; handling versions in 
a
>   way that minimizes confusion and provides the appropriate citation 
data
>   early. 2) Knowing that an issue - or a "package"of articles - is
>   complete. 2) Abstracting and indexing services receiving articles
>   published online without page numbers, while page numbers are added to
>   another version at a later date. 4) Assuring that articles are
>   published and included in A&I services more rapidly to provide the 
best
>   services to authors, readers, and libraries. 5) Assuring that links 
are
>   made to the article of record; other linking problems. 6) Dealing with
>   workflow issues such as the absence of regular publication dates or 
the
>   receipt of articles twice - for example, when an article is released
>   and when an issue is completed. 7) Problems with citation structures -
>   missing bibliographic elements, lack of standards for
>   article-by-article publishing resulting in a hodge-podge of practices,
>   no standard for handling articles that do not have page numbers." This
>   30-page PDF therefore describes a set of best practices for journal
>   publishers that would help alleviate these problems. - [7]RT
