NATURAL RESOURCE MODELING

Natural Resource Modeling is an international journal devoted to mathematical modeling of natural resource systems: of their inherent physical, chemical, and biological processes, and of the economic and operational basis for their management. The major theme for the journal is the development and analysis of mathematical models as tools for resource management and policy development. The analysis may be applied to a wide variety of resources: renewable and exhaustible resources, terrestrial and marine resources, energy, minerals and materials, land and soils, water resources, problems of pollution and residuals, managed biological populations, integrated pest management, agriculture and fisheries, rangeland and forest, wildlife and wilderness, preservation of endangered species and of genetic diversity, and still others.

The journal will publish both primary research and expository survey articles on resource modeling themes.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Initial submission. A paper may be submitted to the Editor. The Editor would appreciate any suggestions as to who on the editorial board would be best qualified to handle the review of the manuscript. Submission of a paper is a representation by the author that the manuscript has not been copyrighted, published, or submitted elsewhere.

Manuscripts. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their paper electronically, in pdf (preferred) or PostScript format, as an attachment to an email message. The submission should be a single file, with a distinctive name. The information in the body of the email message should include the following: the full name, address, and email for each author, a clear indication of who is to be the author for correspondance, the full title of the paper, a brief abstract of the paper, and any informal description that will assist the managing editor in handling the review of the manuscript.

If electronic submission is not possible, a paper may be submitted by sending three copies, as well as a cover letter which includes an email address (preferred), or, if this is impossible, a FAX number. As few handwritten characters as possible should be used.

Joint Authors The email message or cover letter should specify which author will assume responsibility for correspondence and proofreading.

After Acceptance. After a paper is accepted, Natural Resource Modeling would like to receive any computer files associated with the paper. Do not send any materials to the rmmc office until you are contacted by the editorial office. We prefer TeX or LaTeX files (no special style sheet is required) but will gladly accept whatever files you can send. Files can be sent on a PC formatted disk or they may be sent by email to rmmc@asu.edu. If you have figures please send them in both the original program format and, if possible, in PostScript format. Please make 1 figure per file with no caption (we will insert the caption) and entitle the files fig1.ps, fig2.bmp, etc. so we can easily identify the correct figure numbers. If figure files are unavailable please send original pen and ink or mainframe output. Output from a duplicating machine, such as a Xerox copy, does not reproduce very well.

It is very important that the office be notified of any changes in your email address.

Proofs. All proofing is done by email, if possible, and we cannot use this process without a current email address. Prior to publication a pdf file will be sent to you via email for proofreading. You must have a working email (preferred) or FAX for us to process your paper.

Page Charges. There are no page charges.
