Notes for Authors

The principle tools for publishing the journal are now: Corel Office 2000 (Word Perfect), Lotus 123, Microsoft Office 97 or 2000 (MS Word and Excel) and Star Office 51. These are the preferred formats for receiving papers and posters..

Authors should examine carefully recent papers and posters in the journal and follow the style currently in use. Where possible, please always supply the original spreadsheets and data which were used to produce graphics in the papers, since this allows us to produce a uniform look and maintain the quality of the finished journal. Likewise, if you have tabulated data in your paper, please format it using a table, and not tabs and spaces since tables are very well supported in HTML format. When using the tabular format please allot a new cell  to each piece of data. Tables that have more than one line in a cell may appear normal in "MS Word" or  "Word Perfect" but they become distorted when converted to HTML.

References should be set up with minimum punctuation but maximum detail of the actual citation. Abbreviations of journal titles should not be used.  In the list of references, citations to "Livestock Research for Rural Development" should include the appropriate "URL" for the article. For example:

Guèye E F,  Ndiaye A and  Branckaert R D S 1998 Prediction of body weight on the basis of body measurements in mature indigenous chickens in Senegal; Livestock Research for Rural Development. Volume 10, Number 3: http://www.cipav.org.co/lrrd/lrrd10/3/sene103.htm

PLEASE use the Spell-Check and ensure that references in the text are in the reference list and vice versa. An easy way to check this latter point is to print the reference list and then from the beginning of the text to use the "FIND" command and type "19" and then "20". This will locate all the references assuming you have cited correctly the source including the date.
