The likelihood that an article can be effectively illustrated often determines its ultimate fate. Photocopies of suggested illustrations with sources are extremely helpful. Telephone queries are not acceptable. The author's name, mailing address, day and evening telephone numbers and social security number must appear on the title page of the article. Authors should include a brief biography, a description of their expertise in the subject matter and suggestions for further reading.
Relevant clips are also helpful.
Inclusion of an IBM or Mac compatible disk copy of the manuscript increases its chance of acceptance and should accompany a hard copy of the article. Your IBM or Mac compatible disk will be returned to you.
