3. During the past several months, the MYCOLOGIA MEMOIRS Board <strong>of</strong> Editors<br />
has been developing a statement <strong>of</strong> purpose and a set <strong>of</strong> general guide-<br />
lines. The objectives are to facilitate the acquisition <strong>of</strong> manuscripts<br />
and the work <strong>of</strong> the Board. The following is submitted to the Council<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Society</strong> for its approval and support. After publication <strong>of</strong> this<br />
report in the MSA Newsletter, the Statement <strong>of</strong> Purpose and Guidelines<br />
will be made available to prospective authors <strong>of</strong> MYCOLOGIA MEMOIRS.<br />
Statement - <strong>of</strong> Purpose<br />
The MYCOLOGIA MEMOIRS Board <strong>of</strong> Editors shall act on behalf <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Mycological</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong> to solicit and review manuscripts which are<br />
~ O G lengthy for publication in Mycologia. Any paper <strong>of</strong> a mycoloqical nature<br />
and representing a comprehensive treatment <strong>of</strong> a subject wi 11 be consi dered.<br />
It is to be. emphasized that contributions from the fields <strong>of</strong> mycogenetics,<br />
fungal physiology, cytology, ecology, applied mycology, etc., as well as<br />
taxonomic works, are expected to have a place in MYCOLOGIA MEMOIRS. The<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Editors shall guarantee the quality <strong>of</strong> accepted manuscripts, and<br />
faci 1 i tate their publ ication.<br />
Guidelines<br />
a. Manuscripts should be submitted to the MEMOIRS Board at least in trip-<br />
licate (four or five copies <strong>of</strong> a manuscript would be helpfulto the<br />
Boardunless that is a financial burden for authors).<br />
b. It would be helpful to the MEMOIRS Board if authors had consulted with<br />
specialists for their review(s) before submitting a manuscript to the<br />
Board. Comments by those reviewers should be made available to the<br />
Board.<br />
c. The MEMOIRS Board shall review a1 1 manuscripts for their acceptability<br />
(content, format, quality, style, etc. ). Authors should strive to pro-<br />
duce a good quality manuscript for the Board to review. Monograph-<br />
length manuscripts are much more difficult and time-consuming to review<br />
than regular journal papers. If authors submit good, clean manuscripts,<br />
then they will facilitate the review process. Authors should consult<br />
recent MEMOIRS for examples <strong>of</strong> style and format.<br />
d. Reviewers, a1 1 <strong>of</strong> whom serve the MEMOIRS Board without pay, should<br />
strive to review manuscripts in as timely a way as they can. However,<br />
authors should be aware that the review process likely will take several<br />
months, particulhrly for "longer" manuscripts.
