It specifies how to structure Authors and affiliations, the expected word limit and content rules for the Abstract, and the selection limits for Keywords. It then guides the contents and formatting expectations for Introduction, Methods, Results (including material examined/observations format), Discussion, Acknowledgements, and References to ensure compliance with author guidelines and peer-review readiness.","Template for NGD manuscripts—Check List. Use this template for Notes on Geographic Distribution. There is no need to do formatting other than italics, bold, superscript and subscript. You can delete this paragraph and replace the following blue text with the corresponding parts of your manuscript (changing to black). Please refer to the Authors’ Guidelines on the website for full information. Failure to follow the Guidelines will result in your manuscript being returned to you for revision before being considered for peer review. Throughout the writing of your manuscript, you will need to refer often to the Guidelines.\nNGD\nAuthors | Shortened version of the title (for running head at top of pages in published PDF)\nFull title of your manuscript (see Guidelines)\nProvide the full names of authors, separated by commas (no “&” or “and”), e.g., Lela Gastone Soldati1, Jenifer S. V. Hathaway1*, John A. Smith1, 2\nAffiliations of all authors, with basic information only: (department or lab), university or institute, city, (state or province), country; authors’ initials (when multiple authors from the same institution): email for author(s); ORCID id(s) if available\n* Corresponding author\n\u000f\nAbstract\nUp to 90 words for NGD. Do not cite literature. Avoid or explain acronyms and abbreviations. Include authority (and year for animals) of publication of species- or genus-level taxa.\nKeywords\nInclude up to 7 key words; these should not already appear in the title.\nAcademic editor: [layout editor will complete]\nCitation: [copyeditor will complete]\n\u000f\nIntroduction\nThe motivation or purpose of your research should appear in the Introduction, providing some of the historical basis for those questions.\nMethods\nInclude in Methods: your experimental design and sampling procedures, protocols for specimen collection, permits for collection, specialized methods for identification, analytical methods, computer software and analytical devices used, location of voucher specimens (acronyms of collections, but not the details of vouchers). The full data for materials examined and new records should be presented in Results.\nResults\nFor an NGD with one species (optional), add species name and other taxonomic information. For an NGD two or more species, minimally include the name of the species here (other taxonomic information optional) and repeat the follow as many times as needed. Do not present Methods or Discussion here!\nNew records. Call this section “Material examined” or Observations if this is more suitable. The format must follow this (but see Guidelines!):\nCOUNTRY/WATER BODY – Province/state • geographic/locality data [from largest to smallest]; geographic coordinates; altitude/elevation/depth [using alt. or elev.]; date [format: 16.IV.1998]; collector(s) [followed by \"leg.\" (or “obs.” if not collected)]; other collecting data [e.g., micro habitat/host/method of collecting]; barcodes/identifiers [e.g., GenBank: MG779236]; institution code and specimen or catalogue number, sex, preservation, and code(s) [e.g., 3 ♂, CBF 06023].\nYou may include here any additional results that do not easily fit in the above list of new records, e.g., observational notes that are more easily presented in sentence form.\nIdentification. Include how you recognized the species (this is mandatory). You may prepare a full description, but more important is that you compare and contrast your specimens to the species that you claim it to be and with similar or related taxa.\n(Optionally include other subsections within Results that are relevant.)\nDiscussion\nInterpret your results, relate them to the results of previous research or unpublished data available, and discuss the implications of your results or interpretations. Carefully differentiate the results of your study from data obtained from other sources.\nIn case of new records, previous research consists in all previously known records for that given species—cite, comment and discuss them, highlighting why your new data is rel","cbCaiiPX07Cf9uBT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiPX07Cf9uBT","docx",30726,7,"English","en",105,"# NGD manuscript front matter\n## Abstract\n## Keywords\n# Manuscript sections\n## Introduction\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Discussion\n## Acknowledgements\n## References","[{\"question\":\"What content and length are required for the NGD Abstract?\",\"answer\":\"The Abstract should be up to 90 words, must avoid or explain acronyms and abbreviations, should not cite literature, and must include authority (and year for animals) for species- or genus-level taxa.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be included in the Methods section of an NGD manuscript?\",\"answer\":\"Methods must cover experimental design and sampling procedures, specimen collection protocols, permits, specialized identification methods, analytical methods, software and analytical devices used, and the location of voucher specimens (using collection acronyms, without voucher details).\"},{\"question\":\"How should new records be presented in Results for an NGD?\",\"answer\":\"New records should be labeled as “Material examined” or “Observations” when suitable, and follow a structured format including locality data, coordinates, altitude/depth, collection date, collector information, additional collecting details, identifiers/barcodes, and specimen institution code and catalogue number, sex, preservation, and codes.
