Information for Authors

Manuscripts and editorial correspondence should be addressed to:

Authors must submit three hard copies of their document, and a copy on disk (using a standard word-processing program in either PC or Mac format, preferably in Word). Papers should be roughly 8000 words in length (including references and footnotes). An abstract of not more than 150 words must accompany each manuscript. Original hard copies and electronic files (in PDF, TIFF, or EPS) of all figures should accompany manuscripts. Authors should provide full contact information, including e-mail address, with manuscripts. All manuscripts accepted are subject to editorial modification. Copies and disks will not be returned. Upon request, the editor will furnish authors with a style sheet.

The journal encourages the submission of suitable illustrations. Prepare your figures at print publication quality resolution, using applications capable of generating high-resolution .tif files (600 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for color and halftone artwork). Figures should be set at 4.5 inches wide. The printing process requires your figures to be in this format if your paper is accepted for publication. For useful information on preparing figures visit http://dx.sheridan.com where you can also test whether your figures are suitable for production by using the proflight tool at http://dx.sheridan.com/onl/. Please also prepare a second version of your figures at low-resolution for use in the review process; these versions of the figures can be saved in .jpg, .gif, .tif, or .eps format.

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reprint extracts and reproduce illustrations. The permissions forms should be supplied with the final manuscript. All necessary credits and acknowledgments should be included in the figure legends.

VAT Charges for Offprint Orders. Orders from the UK will be subject to a 17.5% VAT charge. For orders from elsewhere in the EU you or your institution should account for VAT by way of a reverse charge.  Please provide us with your or your institution’s VAT number.
