Single passages of prose exceeding 250 words, or scattered passages totalling more than 400 words from any one work. Please supply the publisher with full information for all work cited, including author, date published, publisher and page references. Copyright extends to 70 years after the death of the author or 70 years after publication of a scholarly edition, whichever is longer. Proofs will be supplied only once in the form of page proofs. It is necessary to regard submitted manuscripts as final texts to which no changes should be made at proof stage apart from printer's errors.
Proof corrections are disproportionately expensive.
For example, the insertion of three commas on a page will frequently cost as much, or more than, the original setting cost of the entire page. If you return proofs even a few days after the date stipulated, it may be too late to include your corrections in the final version of the journal. Each principal author will receive 25 offprints of his or her article free of charge. Additional offprints can be purchased if ordered at proof stage.
