Press releases and articles by companies will not be considered. No unsolicted manuscripts will be read or considered. FNO leans toward prose that is accessible to lay people and not overly academic in tone. Those considering a query should review past issues first to make sure the article is consistent with the journal's style of writing. The first step is to submit a proposal or query message.
Queries are welcome proposing articles exploring leading edge and breaking edge issues.
They should provide an overview of what the author intends as well as an introductory paragraph or two to give an idea of the author's writing style. All such queries should be sent by E-mail to Jamie McKenzie, the Editor. All decisions regarding the publishing of articles will be made by the Editor. If the article is published, FNO retains the right to maintain the article on the FNO Web site, but the author retains copyright and all other rights.
