Instructions to Authors
The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice welcomes original submissions of international significance, or of national significance and international interest, which match the objectives of the journal. The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice also publishes short comments, conference, book and website reviews, and lists relevant new publications.
The journal seeks to establish itself as the primary reference in this emerging field, both for active professionals and for university teachers and students. The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice is a journal for all those that investigate, conserve and manage the historic environment.
The journal forms essential reading for all archaeological practitioners, and those involved in building conservation—contractors, consultants, curators, researchers, students and fieldworkers—both professional and voluntary. The Journal cuts across organisational divisions to identify themes which are of concern and interest to all practitioners.
The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice demonstrates best practice and appropriate methods, and the enhancement of technical and professional skills. The Journal relates these skills to topical issues and features the political, legal, economic, cultural, environmental, social and educational contexts, and the academic frameworks, in which those involved in the historic environment work.
The scope includes:
- Development of skills and competence in archaeology and conservation;
- Best practice approaches to cultural resource management;
- New techniques in the investigation of ancient and recent archaeological sites, landscapes and buildings;
- The relationship between historic sites and past and future environmental change.
All contributions are subject to peer review.
Submission
Submissions should be sent to Dr Roger White, Editor, Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage, Room 353, ERI Building, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK (email: R.H.White@bham.ac.uk).
Books and other items for review, and suggestions for Review Articles, should be sent to Paul Belford, Reviews Editor, Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust, 41 Broad Street, Welshpool, Powys SY21 7RR, UK (email: paul.belford@nexus-heritage.com).
Articles and notes
It is essential that your submitted contributions strictly follow our guidelines. This is to avoid unnecessary costs and delays, as well as to ensure the most effective use of the Editor's unpaid time. For the same reason it is highly desirable that submissions follow the editorial cycle.
If you are uncertain about anything, please ask, since this can help us to improve our guidelines for others.
Book reviews: submissions and procedures
The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice offers reviews of a selection of books and reports, in order to provide clear summary critical guides to new published works on the historic environment. We receive books for review throughout the year from publishers as well as directly requesting them from publishers.
Reviews are generally short (400 words) or medium length (800-1,000 words), but longer reviews or review articles are also requested (for example, when two or more related publications are considered). Reviews should be submitted by email within two months of the receipt of the book. The Reviews Editor will supply the form of the title to use in the Journal and that should appear at the head of the review. It is essential that reviewers follow the Journal's house style because this saves time in preparation for publication. We may return for correction submissions that do not do this.
The Editor responsible for book reviews will undertake any required editing of submissions. Only where changes are substantial or for discussion will reviewers receive edited texts for comment. We do not normally send out proofs. Publishers receive copies of the published reviews, but not the individual reviewers.
Stage 1: contacting us about your proposal
We positively encourage you to contact the Editor to discuss possible contributions or drafts before submitting a finished manuscript, particularly if the proposed contribution is likely to be over 10,000 words:
- Outline the proposed paper's content;
- State what contribution it makes to the issue or problem addressed (and with reference to the Journal's objectives);
- Indicate the paper's likely word length, including notes, and number of illustrations;
- Identify when it would be submitted;
- Tell us whether or not its publication would be grant-aided (note: such funding is not a pre-requisite for publication, but there is an expectation that papers resulting from commercial work undertaken by units and by major public bodies will bring funding).
Stage 2: submitting your paper for refereeing
Text should be submitted by email to R.H.White@bham.ac.uk. Please supply the bibliography as a separate electronic file from the rest of the text. The filename should include the author, journal name in abbreviated form (acronym) and the date it was supplied to the Editor (e.g. Smith.HEN.03.08.09).
Stage 3: peer review
All papers will be peer-reviewed before acceptance. The Editor will notify you of the peer-review comments and inform you whether your paper has been provisionally accepted for publication. If so, you and the Editor will mutually agree the changes required for publication.
Stage 4: submitting your revised paper for publication
Submit a revised version of the article, as per Stage 2 above. Illustrations that have not changed do not need to be resubmitted, but be clear if any change to numbering has taken place.
Stage 5: checking your proofs
You must post corrected paper copies of proofs to the Editor within one week of receipt. We do not normally accept revisions, alterations or changes to text or illustrations at this stage. If you require these, you must agree them with the Editor, but you may incur the publisher's costs.
Stage 6: publication of your paper
Authors of contributions to the journal shall be sent a PDF file (an eprint) of their paper free of charge. Subject to the terms communicated by the publisher, Authors may share their PDF with colleagues and other research associates, but cannot archive in a personal, institutional, or subject based open access repository. Authors may also purchase digitally printed offprints from the publisher, which are sent approximately three weeks after publication of the journal. Submitted materials are not returned. Authors should note that eprints are produced as screen resolution PDFs, so the printed quality will not match that of the print copies of the journal.
Contributors to The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice are entitled to buy copies of the issue where their article appears or full individual subscriptions to the journal at a discounted rate on the RRP. A form for orders will be issued to you with proofs of your article or you can email subscriptions@maneypublishing.com to place your order.
Length
Papers should be between 3,000 and 6,000 words, and not normally longer than 10,000 words. In exceptional circumstances, including when a grant is available to support publication, longer papers may be considered. We also welcome offers of reviews of relevant conferences. Conference reports should be 1,000-1,500 words. A note should be under 1,000 words.
Contents of text
Pages should be numbered consecutively and there should be no extra material or addenda. Headings and sub-headings should be used so that the paper is easy to follow. Papers must include:
- The full title of the paper, the author(s) names without qualifications or titles, and full contact details with email addresses and affiliations for all authors. The precise postal address, telephone, fax number and email address of the author to whom correspondence should be addressed should also be included.
- An abstract of 100-200 words which should précis the paper, giving a clear indication of its conclusions;
- 5 to 10 keywords in alphabetical order, to be used as an aid to coding and indexing;
- A short (30-word) biography of each author;
- Acknowledgements (including any grant acknowledgements and specifically if this paper is published with financial assistance from a sponsoring body);
- Bibliography (see below): all references listed in the bibliography must be referred to in the text;
- List of figure captions [in separate file].
Open Access options: MORE Open Choice
Maney offers authors a choice in publishing their research. Authors who require their article to be available immediately in the public domain online (open access) may pay the Article Publication Charge (APC) associated with the journal via ManeyTrack once they receive email notification that their article has gone into production. Information about MORE OpenChoice Maney’s immediate (Gold) open access policy is available on our open access information page.
The Article Publication Charge (APC) associated with this journal is £500 or US$800 per article.
Authors may alternatively choose a delayed open access (Green) option by self-archiving the post-print version (the accepted, peer-reviewed article) in the institutional repository of their higher education employer and/or in subject-based repositories (but not posted to personal, institutional nor social networking sites), subject to a 24 month embargo period. More information about our green archiving policy can be found via our open access information page.
In preparing your article in Microsoft Word, there is no need to format articles. Use a single (not double) space after the full point at the end of sentences. Please use plain style and avoid elaborate layout or typography, but include italics or bold type when necessary, and make sure that headings and subheadings are clearly visible as such. Words should not be hyphenated at the end of a line. Consistency in spacing, punctuation, and spelling will be of help. References and captions should be placed at the end of the file. Photographs, maps, and other supporting material are encouraged. Please use hard returns only at the end of paragraphs, switch auto-hyphenation off, and do not justify text. Figures and Tables should be submitted as separate files and keyed horizontally from left to right using a tab between columns, not the space bar (or keyed in Table mode in Word).
Article titles
The article title should be concise, accurate, and informative. Titles are often used by search engines and other information retrieval systems. The title should be specific and it should contain words that readers might be searching for.
Abstracts
The abstract is an important part of the article and will be used in Abstracting and Indexing services where the journal is listed, searched by Google and other search engines, and freely available online. Abstracts should be succinct but sufficiently comprehensive to provide a comprehensible summary of the article.
Keywords
Keywords are also important as they facilitate searching and accurate identification. The more accurate the choice of keywords, the more likely the article will be found, read and referenced.
Conditions of Submission
By submitting to this journal, authors acknowledge and accept that articles are considered for publication on the basis that:
- The article presents original work that is not being considered or reviewed by any other publication, and has not been published elsewhere in the same or a similar form;
- All authors are aware of, and have consented to, the submission to the journal;
- Due regard has been paid to ethical considerations relating to the work reported;
- The article contains, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no libellous or unlawful statements.
Submissions are vetted for quality of written language and may be rejected on these grounds. Maney recommends that any non-native English speaking author who is not confident of their English language skills ask a native English speaker or professional language-editing service to review their article before submission. This is not mandatory but will help ensure that the Editors and reviewers fully understand the academic content of the article.
Use of an editing service does not guarantee that your article will be accepted for publication. A decision will be made following the usual peer review process.
For information about language editing services and discounts for Maney authors, please visit our language editing page.
Think of your reader: make your text digestible and understandable, including for the non-specialist.
Pay attention to:
- Structure (introduction should set the scene and spell out aims and constraints; conclusion should bring together the paper and discuss its wider significance);
- Integration (authors of different sections should be aware of, and cross-refer where appropriate to, each other; make points once);
- Logic (sequence; place related points in the same paragraph; avoid tangents which break the argument; say what is meant; make a case; substantiate generalisations/assertions);
- Sentence structure (avoid conflating two separate points in one sentence, or linking them to a dependent clause which only refers to one of the points);
- Language (avoid colloquialisms; jargon [explain a term when first used or refer to later discussion]; repetition; tautology; use 'very', 'majority of', and 'simply' sparingly; vary words; consistent tenses; aim for plain language).
Follow the principles of plain English:
- Use 'active' verbs (instead of 'passive' ones) (Hint: Tools > Options > Spelling & Grammar > Writing style > Grammar & Style - this will underline passive phrases.);
- Use a good average sentence length (about 15-20 words);
- Use everyday words where possible;
- Avoid turning verbs into nouns or noun phrases, same with adjectives (Hint: such words often end in '-tion' or '-ness', phrases in '... of');
- Use first and second pronouns (I, me, we, us, you);
- Give information in logical order;
- Use lists and bullet points;
- Do not use the ampersand [&] in normal text;
- Think of your audience;
- Be personal and polite.
Contractors should allocate resources for in-house copy editing of their reports and for the revisions which will be requested by the referee and Editor.
Language and style
Papers should preferably be in English, and should be written and arranged in a style that is succinct and easy for readers to understand. The Editors will consider manuscripts submitted in French, German, Spanish and Italian, either for translation into English, or for publication in the submitted language with an extended English language abstract which should be supplied with the text. Illustrations should be used to aid the clarity of the paper.
Distinguishing headings and subheadings
[H1]/SUBHEAD A, CAPS, BOLD, RANGE LEFT
[H2]/subhead B, small caps, bold, range left
[H3]/subhead C, lower case italic, range left
Authors may include a digital version of the paper with embedded images, to provide an indication of how they would like the text and images to be arranged. Please, however, ensure that these images are low resolution (96 dpi). Full resolution versions of the figures should be supplied separately (see below).
Captions
Please use a single continuous list of figures for each article (do not use different lists for drawings, photographs or tables). Captions should cite the name of photographer or illustrator (if different from the author), and any necessary copyrights and permissions. Ensure there is a reference within the body of the text to each figure.
Please supply a list of captions, as a separate electronic file.
Within the text, refer to Fig. 3, or Figs 5-7.
Example captions:
Fig. 3: Photograph of the site in July 2007, before conservation (looking north).
Fig. 12: Elevation of the north wall after conservation (drawn by Faith Vardy).
Fig. 15: The Greater Kyz Kala in 1898, looking south-west (photograph by Zukhosky; © Institute of Material Culture, St Petersburg).
Figures
Cite as “Figure 1” NB no full point after figure number. Figures should be set where possible at text width; centred.
Numbers
One to one hundred; 9999; 10,000; 100,000; 10,000,000 etc.
Approximate words ‘hundred’, ‘thousand’, ‘million’, ‘billion’ etc. should be written in words e.g. ‘a thousand’, ‘five hundred’ etc.
Ordinals must always be written in words ‘first’, ‘second’ etc.
Money
£12; £12.65; 65p; €12.65; $12.65; US$, NZ$; 95 Fr; 250 Kr; DM 8; 350 escudos; 20 roubles etc.
Roman numerals
R. Numerals should be confined to:
- ordinals for kings (large caps)
- book volumes/Acts in a play etc. (small caps)
- certain non-English references to centuries (small caps except Cyrillic script – large caps)
- cited preliminary pages (lower case)
Dates
Friday, 12 September 2002 (23 not 23rd).
For periods of time use ‘to’ rather than hyphens - from 1826 to 1850; from January to February 1970; where four digit numbers do not fall within the same hundred, give both figures in full separated by an en rule rather than ‘to’: 1851–1923.
Datespans before the Christian era should be given in full, 264–241 BC, not 264–41 BC 2000 BC; 54 BCE; AD 367; the 1920s; the nineteenth century (a nineteenth-century drama) (please note small caps for BC/ AD/ BCE).
Circa should be abbreviated when giving approximate dates: c. 1432; c.300 BC.
Pages
p. 32, pp. 32-34 and pp. 240-79, pp. 11856-59.
Only the last two figures should be given for inclusive numbers falling within the same hundred, including any zero in the penultimate position: 240-79; 305-08. For page ranges outside the same hundred, figures should be given in full: 134-242.
Measurements
Non-statistical units write out in words: an ounce of sugar and a phial of laudanum.
Statistical/frequently referred to measurements: 30 mm; 2 km; 1 kg; 4 l; 2 ft; 100 lb; BUT always write out inch/inches to avoid confusion!
Compass directions
Hyphenate directions when spelling out, e.g. north-west. Please note that in geographical designations it is appropriate to use an adjectival form, e.g. 'southern England' rather than 'South England'; only use the specific, capitalised compass point when it is definitely part of a compound proper noun, e.g. New South Wales.
Except in special cases (e.g. 'the Roman Empire in the West''), a capital letter should not be used with the points of the compass used as nouns or adverbially (e.g. 'the ditch petered out to the north').
Hyphens
Hyphens should be used as little as possible and with consistency. Words beginning with co or re should not normally be hyphenated (rebuilt, reuse, cooperate, coexist) unless their meaning is ambiguous. Compound adjectives are usually hyphenated (a 10th-century town, from the mid-2nd century, a greenish-blue colour, the south-western sector). With many compound nouns there is no hard and fast rule between writing them as one word, two words, or hyphenated and consistency is what matters.
Some preferences are given below:
bath house
cropmark
earring
earthwork
fieldwork
hillfort
hilltop
layout
metalwork
postdate
posthole
predate
right-angles
ring-ditch
roundhouse
sea level
square barrow
stakehole
stonework
tree-ring
type-site
If in doubt follow the Concise Oxford Dictionary usage.
Abbreviations
As restricted as possible; full form should be given at first point of citation e.g. The United Nations (UN) has lots of votes. <NB Initials closed up>
Where the title of a literary work etc. is repeated a lot, a shortening is preferable to initials e.g. All’s Well, not AWTEW.
Contractions (including plurals) have no full point e.g. Mr, Dr, Mme, Jr, St, vols etc. except no. (for numero).
Other abbreviations should be followed by a full point e.g.:M. (Monsieur), Prof., p., pp., sc., viz., vol.
Where there is more than one word in the abbreviation a full point should follow each initial e.g. a.m., e.g., i.e., n.p., q.e.d. BUT these fullpoints are omitted when the abbreviation is capitalized e.g. MLA, UK, USA, UN, UNESCO
Truncations: no apostrophe i.e. phone not ’phone
Quotation marks
Use single inverted commas; double inverted commas only where inverted commas occur within a set of single inverted commas.
Oxford Comma
This should be used, i.e Apples, pears, and oranges.
Spellings
Use UK spelling/-ize; where there is an Anglicized spelling of a non-English word, use it unless the original spelling is significant to the meaning of the text. The following words must adopt the –ise spelling:
advertise
analyse
advise
apprise
chastise
comprise
compromise
demise
despise
devise
enterprise
excise
exercise
franchise
improvise
incise
revise
supervise
surmise
surprise
televise
Referring to cited authorities
When referring in the text to the names of other cited authorities give their full name, if possible, on the first occasion: e.g. Joseph Crabtree, Florence Nightingale, etc. Thereafter use only the surname.

Subsequent and repeat referencing in endnotes
In references to a book or article after the first, the shortest intelligible form should be used. This will normally be the author’s name followed by the volume and page reference:
Thompson, p. 67
Lee and Green, II, 39
With editions of ‘works’ or collections of essays, a short-title form of reference is appropriate:
Boswell, p. 341
Marvell’s Poems, pp. 220-51
When more than one work by an author has been cited, use the author name and title in a shortened form:
Young, Making Crime Pay, p. 43
Jackson, Marginalia, p. 271
If there is no doubt which author is being referred to but more than one of the authors’ works has been cited, use the short form of the title of the specific work followed by the page numbering:
Making Crime Pay, p. 43
‘The Philosophy of Bureaucracy’, p. 102
The term ‘ibid.’ should be used sparingly and limited to those situations where there is no possibility of confusion, i.e., after a second reference which is separated from its predecessor by no more than four lines oftext.

Supplementary material gives authors the opportunity to enhance their work by including material that cannot be included in an article for reasons of space, is of very specific interest, or is not compatible with the standard journal format (e.g. audio or video files, animations, software, models, or large datasets). Supplementary material is intended to support arguments advanced in the article; it should not refer to other work nor contain discussion or conclusions that go beyond the content of the article. The inclusion of supplementary material is at the discretion of the Editor whose decision is final.
Supplementary material will be published online and linked to and from the article. It is considered to form an integral part of the article and will be peer reviewed and subject to the same ethical standards, warranties and conditions of submission. Authors will be required to sign an Assignment of Copyright form and provide the same warranties in respect of supplementary material as for the article itself.
To assure continuity of access and effective archiving, supplementary files will be published online with the journal content, unless the data appears in an open access database such as GEO or CIF or a widely recognized subject based repository. It is not acceptable to link to files held on personal or other websites.
Whenever possible, include supplementary material on initial submission of the article since peer review at a later stage may cause delays. Supplementary material will be hyperlinked from the main article. In preparing an article:
- ensure each supplementary file is referred to at the appropriate point in the manuscript using the correct style for the journal: (Supplementary Material 1), (Supplementary Material 2), etc.
- provide a separate document giving the title and a brief description of each supplementary file, plus detailed captions for non-text files (figures, video, audio, software, datasets, etc.)
- distinguish supplementary tables, figures and references using the numbering system S1, S2, S3, etc.
Supplementary material must be self-contained, i.e. capable of being understood without reference to other material. Supplementary files are not edited and may not be typeset. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure the content is correct, consistent with the article itself, consistent with journal style and self-contained. CrossRef reference linking may not be active in all file formats; the use of additional references in the supplementary files should therefore be kept to a minimum.
Acceptable file formats for supplementary material include:
- text files: Word, RTF, PDF, SGML, txt
- tables: Word, RTF, Excel, PDF
- figures: TIFF, JPEG, EPS, BMP, GIF
- presentations: PowerPoint, PDF
- audio/video files: MPEG, WFV
- data and software files running on recognized programs.
Please consult with the Editors prior to submitting and ensure that the Editors are aware of the additional file(s) when you submit your article for peer review.
Illustrations of all types—photographs, line drawings, maps—are particularly welcomed. They should be used wherever they contribute to the subject matter of the article. These should be submitted in separate files and numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals. Each must have a caption and source. Within the text, figures and tables should be referred to by number (e.g. Figure 1; Table 1), and preferred position, sizing, and groupings in the text should be clearly indicated. Images can be supplied electronically in CMYK format as TIFF or EPS files at high resolution suitable for printing.
As a guideline, images should be submitted at the following minimum input scanning resolutions:
|
full colour images |
half tones |
slides or transparencies |
simple line illustrations |
fine line illustrations |
|
300 dpi |
350-400 dpi |
600 dpi |
800 dpi |
1200 dpi |
Please note that the final reproduction quality is dependent on the quality of the original illustration. Prior to submission, we would advise authors to print out, at roughly the size required for publication, all images supplied electronically so the hard copy image can be assessed for contrast etc.—what might be clear and legible on a full computer screen will not be the same printed out at journal text/column width or less.
Manipulation of images to enhance, obscure or remove individual features is not permitted. Adjustment of brightness, contrast or colour balance may be applied to the entire image provided the result does not mislead the viewer. Significant digital manipulation of images must be acknowledged in the figure caption.
Labels/legends should be in a consistent standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial and embedded in the image file. Please do not use effects such as outlining and shadows on lettering. Any lines should be a minimum of 0.3pt.
Captions should be submitted in a separate file. The author must obtain written evidence of permission to reproduce images (in all formats, in perpetuity and in all geographical regions worldwide) from the copyright owner for the use of any illustrative matter in the journal and will be liable for any fee charged by the owner of the image. The caption should include relevant credit of the permission of the copyright holder to reproduce the image.
Illustration checklist:
- Files are provided in TIFF or EPS format.
- Artwork is of sufficient resolution for its style.
- All images are the size intended for publication and all unnecessary elements have been removed.
- All fonts used for any text are embedded and standard fonts (Arial/Times New Roman). Font size is consistent.
- Any lines are a minimum of 0.3pt.
- Images do not contain any layers or transparent objects.
- Files are named according to convention.
- Artwork is provided in separate files to the main text.
- Captions and figure titles are provided in separate file.
- All rights/permissions have been secured.
Authors who wish to reproduce material from previously published sources or where copyright is owned by a third party, such as sections of text or images, must obtain written permission from the copyright holder and any other interested party. Authors should obtain permission to use items within the context of the article ensuring they explicitly obtain permission for the following areas:
- Permission in all geographical regions of the world,
- Permission in all formats including electronic,
- Permission in perpetuity, including the online version.
A letter template that authors can use to seek such permissions is obtainable by clicking here. The author should fill in the details of the article and the journal title and obtain a signature to the letter. Many copyright owners prefer to provide their own letter of permission and this is acceptable as long as the three requirements above are included.
Author images
If authors wish to retain copyright of their own images in their manuscript, this can be accommodated. Authors wishing to retain the copyright in an image should indicate this by adding into the figure caption wording such as “© Author name” or “Copyright Author name”. This will ensure that anyone who may subsequently want to reference the work or reuse the image will know who owns the copyright and therefore who to contact for permission to do so.
Using images from Google
Authors may use Google Map/Google Earth images in articles (where necessary) subject to the guidelines published by Google on its website (http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html). Full acknowledgement must be given in the caption credit. These Google guidelines suggest that a Google Map/Google Earth image may be used only if the view shown is distinctive. If the view is not distinctive, the image may not be used. The website noted above includes examples of distinctive and non-distinctive material. Authors may include links to Google pages in their article as long as they do not use Google logos as links.
Using images and other content from the internet
The internet is not a copyright free zone and copyright laws apply, sometimes more rigorously than for other mediums such as print. Authors must check the terms and conditions of the website and/or the copyright disclaimer; if these items are not visible please do not assume that re-using content is acceptable. Please visit our Publishing Ethics policy page for full details.
It is the responsibility of the author to ensure that they comply with Maney’s copyright and ethics (including plagiarism) policies. Strong policies in these areas protect the rights of authors, editors, reviewers and publishers alike ensuring the reputation of the publication and copyright holders.

The Historic Environment does publish some colour pages in each issue and authors should consult with the Editors if they have images which they would like to publish in colour. All colour illustrations will be published in the online version of the journal free of charge. Authors have the opportunity to enhance the appearance of their article, improve its clarity, and heighten its impact by using colour for diagrams, graphs and illustrations. Authors should consider the use of colour within their articles carefully to ensure that meaning is not lost from diagrams if produced in greyscale in the printed journal. Where it may be necessary to adjust the contrast after conversion to preserve clarity, authors are advised to supply both colour and adjusted greyscale images. Authors should bear this in mind when preparing the format of the images for submission and when obtaining permission to use material from third parties. For more information please see the copyright and permissions page.
ManeyTrack
Once an issue has moved into typesetting, each corresponding author will receive login details for Maney Track, Maney Publishing's web-based production tracking system. Authors are able to view the live production status of articles. Key estimated and actual production stages and dates, such as expected proof receipt and publication information are displayed, and can be accessed by the author at any time.
ManeyTrack also offers authors a secure and quick location for the payment and tracking of orders for offprints, issue copies (if the journal has a print offering) and to make an article open access via Maney's MORE OpenChoice offering.
Digital Object Identifier
The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique identifier assigned to a document by the publisher. The assigned DOI never changes and therefore is the ideal way to cite and link to electronic documents, particularly ‘Advance Articles’ because they have not yet received full bibliographic information.
Proofs
Proofs will be supplied by email to either the first-named or nominated author. Proofs will be supplied for checking and making essential typographical corrections only, not for general revision, alteration, or changes to illustrations. Revised proofs will not generally be supplied to authors. Significant changes to the article will only be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor. Authors may be asked to bear the cost of excessive changes, other than those caused by typesetting errors.
Some journals manage the proofing process electronically. For those journals which do offer this, authors will need to download Adobe Reader, available free from http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader, and use the Comment and/or Editing Tools to indicate changes directly onto the PDF file.
Authors may also email the necessary corrections as a list citing the page and line number where a correction needs to be made, how the text currently appears, and what it should be changed to, or use the BSI proof marks to indicate changes on a paper printout of the PDF file and email or fax.
All corrections should be returned together within three (3) days of receipt, by email or fax, unless advised otherwise. Please ensure all corrections are sent in one communication as inclusion of subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed.
Eprints
Corresponding authors receive a screen-resolution PDF file (Eprint) of the published version of their article by email upon publication of the article within an issue, which may be forwarded and shared with all co-authors, and other research associates, but it cannot be archived or put on a personal or institutional website, or in a subject-based open access repository. More information is also provided in the Assignment of Copyright form distributed to authors (see the Supporting Resources section in the right-hand column of this page to download this form). Orders for digital offprints may be made at the time proofs are distributed, via ManeyTrack. Log-in details for ManeyTrack are supplied via email to the corresponding author once the issue in which the article to be published has moved into typesetting.
Corresponding authors may purchase printed copies of the issue in which their article is published, via ManeyTrack once they receive their Eprint (please see above).
