Manuscript Preparation

Your manuscript should be as accurate and complete as possible. Changes made later at proof stages become progressively more costly.

All elements that are to appear on the printed piece should be submitted with the text, including photo captions, a return address,
a postal permit, photographs, artwork, and an equal-opportunity statement.

Electronic Manuscripts
The following guidelines have been developed to lead you through the process of submitting your manuscript electronically.

• Always include a hard copy of your document with the file.
• Never send an original file. Always keep at least one copy of each file.
• Label any disks you send with your name, department, and phone number or extension.
• Do not format electronic copy except for embedded bold and italic text.
• Check spelling before submitting the electronic document.
• Give us only the files relevant to the job.
• Submit all text in one file.

Revising Existing Publications
If the changes are relatively minor, you can make them directly on a clean copy of your printed publication and submit that to publications as your manuscript. If the changes are more complex, submit new copy electronically following the guidelines outlined above.
