All parts of an article must be submitted in electronic format, either on disk or via email. This includes sidebars, tables, charts, printouts, etc. Discuss formats in advance with the editor. If you email your manuscript, send a hardcopy by mail or fax at the same time. Use the word count feature of your word processor to determine length.
Reviews are generally shorter.
Use as little formatting as possible in the manuscript since it must be removed and revised to suit our production requirements. Do not indent at beginning of paragraphs, instead use a double linefeed between paragraphs. The manuscript galley will be sent to the author for proofing. Discuss file formats with the editor. When making screen captures for illustrations, be sure to open your capture screen to the maximum monitor size.
