Author’s submissions

Material for publication including the author’s name and full contact details should be sent to the editor at the address below. Authors should generally aim to limit the length of articles to 20 (A5) sides when printed at 10 point. Whilst typewritten submissions will be considered for publication (see below), with the wide availability of word-processors, authors are strongly advised to submit their publications electronically, either on diskettes/CDs or by email.

Electronic files should be accessible to Microsoft Windows applications, and labelled with author’s name and file name(s). The file(s) may be generated from any popular word/image processing software. If you are in any doubt about whether your software format will be acceptable, please contact the editor. Diskettes/CDs should contain no files other than those intended to be considered for publication.

Electronic submissions should be accompanied by a printed copy showing clearly the intended layout, special symbols, character attributes, and the position of figures and tables etc. It would also greatly facilitate publication if text diagrams, charts, graphs and pictures are submitted in any file format accessible to Windows based applications such as MS Word (97/2000) and Adobe Pagemaker. Images in any common format (e.g. BMP, TIF, JPG, GIF etc) should contain sufficient data to give a good print quality (i.e. at least 300dpi). The base font size for equations, text and diagrams in this publication is 10 point.

Those not in a position to submit electronically should send originals rather than photocopies. Each item should be identified clearly showing where it should be inserted in the text. To enable typewritten submissions to be scanned, they should be single-spaced originals, not photocopies, with no over-typing or other corrections, in A4 format with generous margins and on one side of the paper only. Neither text nor headings should be underlined, but any underlining, italics or bold text required should be indicated on a separate copy. Text should be in black ink on white paper. Submitting typescripts of contributions which are otherwise acceptable, but are not sufficiently clear for scanning could delay their publication.
