Notes for Authors
- A title page should include the following information:
Title
Full name(s) of author(s)
Author affiliation including university or institution and country
Author's fax number and e-mail address
Abstract of less than 100 words (containing no references to specific texts).
- Diagrams, graphs, charts, etc. must be referred to in the text as "figures",
and numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals. Please indicate the approximate
position of the figure in the text. Labelling should be made in Times and well clear of the elements of the figure. Bold and italic fonts can be used where appropriate.
- Tables must be referred to in the text as "tables" and numbered
sequentially with Arabic numerals. Please indicate the approximate
position of the table in the text.
- Subheadings
Please use Arabic numbers for first and second-level
subheadings and use alphabetical order for third-level subheadings.
- References
Please adhere exactly to the following style and remember
to do a final cross-check to see that the list is complete and
matches the citations in the text exactly. Reference lists
MUST be 1.5 spaced.
Citation in text: Include the author's (and co-author's)
last name, year of publication, and page numbers if applicable. "et
al." may
be used with three or more authors.
Reference list: List in the
following order: alphabetically by author, within author by
year and within year by title.
Books: Author(s) (year) Title, City
of publication: Publisher.
Articles: Author(s) (year) "Title," Journal
Volume, pages.
Unpublished: Author(s) (year) "Title," type
of paper, University or Foundation.
For cases not covered above,
include all information (i.e. series title, volume number, translator,
reprint information).
- Footnotes
Please supply these in a separate list numbered consecutively
from 1. Ensure that the list matches the footnote indicators
in the text. Footnote 1 should contain the acknowledgement,
if any, and the indicator should be placed after the name(s) of the authors.
- Mathematics
Distinguish between "1" and "l",
and "O", "o" and "0",
especially as super- and subscripts.
Place formula numbers in parentheses on the far right and order consecutively
throughout the paper.
Use Arabic numerals for equations, theorems, definitions and sections.
Ensure that italics and bold face are used correctly and are easily differentiated
from standard text. This applies throughout the article, not just in the mathematics.
Please avoid the use of mathematics in footnotes wherever possible.
- Appendix
Place the appendix at the end of the paper before the
references. Additional appendices should be treated as subsections
of the single appendix.
- Sections
Number consecutively in Arabic numerals and begin with the introductory
section as "1.
Introduction"
- Consistency
Use either British or US spelling throughout - do not
mix the two.
- Abbreviations
Avoid the use of abbreviations. Exceptions include
terms used in equations like "lim" and "max," "US" for
United States.
- Publishing procedures
Your paper will be copyedited and typeset
and a proof will be sent to the corresponding author to be checked.
The corresponding author is responsible for proofreading
and must follow the instructions sent by the publisher.
Rewriting of even small parts of the article at the proofreading stage may be
disallowed by the editor for cost reasons. The corresponding author will receive one complimentary copy of the journal for each author and 20 copies of offprints to be shared among the co-authors.
- Additional author services
The publisher also offers additional author services, such as OnlineOpen, Early View and Supporting Infomration. For details, please visit Wiley-Blackwell's website.
