Most publishers have a permissions department, and the granting of copyright permission is usually routine. ACI cannot publish a submission without such written permission, which must be enclosed with the final version of the accepted submission sent to ACI for publication. If the final submission is not received electronically or with a disk, it may delay production and publication of the paper for up to 3 months. Use consistent spacing throughout the document. Do not use the word processor s automatic footnote capability.
Place footnotes at the end of the document as opposed to within the text.
All manuscripts must be typed double-spaced, including the abstract, references, and figure captions. The manuscript should be typed on one side of the paper only. The maximum length of the entire submission is 10,000 words or the word-equivalent. Pages should be numbered sequentially at the bottom of the pages. Valuable over-length contributions that are not redundant or verbose and that require the additional length to succinctly and adequately treat the subject may be reviewed according to ACI procedures.
