The final version submission must follow the following manuscript guidelines:
- Single space, using one font only (serif) and one color only (black).
- Left align (do not right justify).
- Please make sure that all tracked changes or other revision marks have been accepted as final (no hidden text, comments, etc.).
- No “soft returns” or forced line breaks.
- No underlines, in urls or anywhere else. For emphasis please use italics.
- Do not use automatic hyphenation.
- Do not apply styles. Default (“normal”) should be the only style in your document.
- Block quotes should be formatted using the indent feature.
- Do not use tables for text body layout.
- Single space between period and start of next sentence.
- Remove hyperlinks and all other formatting from text and footnotes.
- Do not use tabs, forced line breaks, or any styles in text or footnotes.
- If your document contains images, please supply us with the most high-resolution images available. 300 dpi is ideal for print. Images pulled from websites do not print well.
- Images will be printed in grayscale. Please be aware of this when using charts that depend on color for their interpretation.
- We cannot accept documents with equations inserted using Word’s Equation Editor; our layout program deletes them. Please make equations part of the text flow, and format them in Times New Roman or Minion Pro.
