Instructions to authors
Bois et Forêts des Tropiques using electronic production
methods, you will find below some points to enable us to use your files.
With the hard copy, please supply the corresponding files. Give computer
type and software(s), preferably Word software for PC. Name files using
the name of the first author and use the correct software extension, e.g.
text.doc, tabI.xls, fig1.ps, photo1.jpg.
Make one file for the text and tables, and a second for figures and provide
source files. Do not include figures in the text. Make a third file for
the abstract as well as all figure and photo captions. Articles should
not exceed 25 000 characters, summaries 10 000. Manuscripts of excessive
length will not be considered.
For figures, diagrams and maps use vectorial software making it possible
to open files by Illustrator, and save them in the eps format only. Use
postcript fonts, preferably helvetica; please provide details of all "exotic"
fonts. These files must always be accompanied by top quality hard copy,
because there is no guarantee that files can always be used. Photo files,
format 13x18 or 18x24 with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi (pixels/inch),
are compressed in jpeg high or maximum quality. As their use cannot be
guaranteed either, we prefer original print-outs on paper or slides.
TEXT
Manuscripts are printed on 21 x 29.7 [A4] format paper, on one side only
and in single spacing. The whole text is left-justified, including the bibliography.
Manuscripts are submitted in three complete copies.
The order of presentation is as follows:
- the first page with a short title (7 words at most), authors' first
names, in full, names, and titles developed for organizations, plus
complete address, corresponding author's complete current address, phone
and fax numbers, e-mail address;
- the text with 2.54 cm/1 inch margins. Font is Times New Roman, 12
cpi;

- the abstract of 250 words maximum and 6 keywords;
- captions for figures (6 figures at most, including maps and graphics)
and photographs (about ten) are given on a separate page. The source
or credit for each figure must be mentioned if necessary. The author
of each photo must be mentioned;
- tables (not more than 5), each with its caption;
- figures, one per page;
- photographs, numbered in the order of appearance in the text on the

The magazine is not responsible for possible loss of documents.
The text is written with just the one font. Latin names are in italics.
Avoid footnotes. Authors' names in small capitals: TCHOUME et al.,
or: Tchoume et al.
All acronyms and abbreviations are explained in full when they first appear in the text.
Each table, figure and photograph has a caption and is numbered in the
order of its appearance in the text. Tables, figures and photographs are all anounced in the text
by their number: tables in Roman numerals (table V); figures and photographs in Arabic numerals
(figure 2, photograph 2).
For figures, please provide original, very good quality print-outs: make sure that the character
size is sufficient to allow for reduction. Please specify whether authorization is required to
