We also prefer that manuscripts be submitted on 3.5-inch computer diskette. If graphics or photographs are included, we require originals if possible. Graphics and photographs must be accompanied by a full citation of provenance. If copyright clearances are required, these are the responsibility of the author. Similar, all costs of producing graphics and photographs to make them ready for submission are the responsibility of the author.
Percent is written as one word.
Abbreviations and contractions should be avoided where possible. If an abbreviation must be used, it should be followed by a period. The sole exception is geographic locations, which should be abbreviated in CAPS without a period, e.g., MA for Massachusetts. If a ship name is used, it should be underlined or italicized. Volume numbers should be expressed in roman numerals.
