2. PRESENTATION

Articles and Review Articles should be submitted to our online submission system. Please include a title page with your name, the article title and a contact email address. Articles over 4000 words should be prefaced by an abstract of about 200 words summarizing the main points of the piece; shorter articles should have abstracts of about 100 words

Please number pages consecutively. Notes will appear as footnotes in the published journal, but in typescript should be printed in one double-spaced sentence at the end of the document, beginning on a new page. Number notes consecutively through the document; an initial unnumbered note may be included to give brief acknowledgements. Copies of any illustrations should be supplied clearly labelled ('Fig. 1' etc.), and, if they are to be integrated with the text, the preferred location should be indicated by a textual note.

Type with a minimum of formatting, unjustified on the right, without hyphenation except for compound words. Use the tab key once for paragraph indents. Where possible use Times as the base font and Symbol for special characters. Please take care to ensure thorn and yogh characters are displaying correctly

Displayed matter Type flush left, with an extra carriage return before and after the whole extract. Use the tab key only to indicate extra indentation (e.g. alternate lines of a poem). Add a note regarding any special display requirements not achieved in the text.
Headings Indicate the hierachy of any subheadings clearly.
Figures Save any figures generated electronically as seperate files, not embedded in the text.
