As a rough guideline, one index entry per page of text is sufficient, although the extent of the index may vary. For the sake of clarity and ease in use of the index, no more than two orders of subentries should be used, although one is usually sufficient. Subentries should be alphabetized in the same way but ignoring 'small' words such as 'and', 'of', 'in', 'with', etc. 5. All main entries should be nouns or noun phrases. Do not use adjectives alone as main entries.
Main entries have initial capital letters, and are typed flush left.
All turnover lines, whether they are part of a main entry or a subentry, are indented six spaces. Any proofreader's queries, should be answered on the set of proofs on which you make your corrections. The corrected proofs must be returned within 14 days, together with the copy for the subject index, to the Project Manager at the address below. Subsequently you will receive two sets of page proofs, one of which will contain the second colour. These proofs are mainly for you to check that the second colour has been used correctly in the text and in the figures, formulae, etc.
