Affiliations
In your affiliations, please always include your University or Univeristies (for most of you, this will be U KN) and your grad school, the IMPRS. If you are an MPI-AB PhD student, please also include the MPI-AB. Your full affiliation may look like this:
- Department of Biology, University of Konstanz, 78464 Konstanz, Germany
- International Max Planck Research School for Quantitative Behaviour, Ecology and Evolution; Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, 78315 Radolfzell, Germany
Department of Collective Behavior, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, 78315 Radolfzell, Germany or
Department for the Ecology of Animal Societies, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, 78315 Radolfzell, Germany or
Department Migration, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, 78315 Radolfzell, Germany
Acknowledgement / Funding
Since all of you receive financial support via the IMPRS, please include the following statement:
“This study was partially supported by the International Max Planck Research School for Quantitative Behaviour, Ecology and Evolution (IMPRS-QBEE).”
Publication fees
The MPG provides many arrangements with journals to cover their open access charges (see here) including all Wiley hybrid and fully Open Access journals (incl. Ecology and Evolution). To be eligible, the author must be the submitting and corresponding author of the article, and must be affiliated with a Max Planck Institute and must publish under this affiliation – the Max Planck Institute must be stated in the published article.
...so, which one do I use? (or download full manual below)
As with many things in life, many approaches will work out okay but some will have better results
than others. Here is some general information and suggestions to make things look their best:
The files in the logo directory are named as follows:
1. description of defining features: Right now this may say “QBEE” for the standard logo, “minerva” for the dual logos with MPI, or “justBee” for the bee icon alone.
2. the color in the logo: “Color” is full color with black text/accents, “Invert” is color with white text/accents, “White” is the logo consisting entirely of white shades for use on colors or black.
3. size: these values are given in pixels. If you recall from the previous page, it is 72 pixels/inch on screen and 300 pixels/inch in print. When in doubt, drop one in to see how looks then grab a bigger one if need be. For, they roughly correspond to quarter-page print (600px), half-page print (1200px), and full-page print (2400px).
4. extension: refer to the previous page on what to look out for here.
So, for example, if you’re making a poster in Powerpoint or Keynote and you need a logo, you would likely want a full-color, raster version large enough to print visibly. You never want to scale images up if you can avoid it, so and the logo size that is closest to your requirements and scale it down a little as needed. The less image work you ask of document layout or presentation programs, the better the result will be. So you might look for something like QBEE-color-1200w.png, which would give you a color logo with enough pixels to print approximately 10cm wide.
