Presentation of your paper
Full-length papers should be 6-8,000 words long (including notes and references) while shorter reports on current research topics should be 2,500-3,000 words long. Please provide your paper on an IBM-compatible or Macintosh floppy disk accompanied by three hard copies, including the name(s) of author(s), full professional postal addresses, current affiliation and research/ practice interests on a separate sheet of paper. All text should be double spaced throughout, including references and any indented quotations.
Abstract
Your paper should begin with an abstract of about 100-150 words. Abstracts appearing in TPR/IDPR are held in bibliographical databases and should allow users of these to make an informed decision as to whether your paper will be of relevance and interest to them. Do not include any references in your abstract.
Headings
You may normally use up to three levels of heading in the text to help guide readers around your paper.
Conventions
Use -ise/-isation endings rather than -ize/-ization (e.g. realisation, authorise etc.).
Use English spelling rather than American (centre, not center etc.) except for American proper names (e.g. Kennedy Space Center).
Use italics for emphasis, not bold or underlining.
Use bullets in the text to break up lists and the like, rather than a), b), c) etc.
Use single quotation marks.
Dates should be in the form of 'day month year', e.g. 10 May 1998, not May 10 1998 or 10th May 1998 or 10 May, 1998 or 10.5.98.
When using abbreviations or acronyms, spell them out in full on their first use (except for universally known ones such as UK, USA, NATO etc.). Do not use full points within abbreviations or acronyms.
Figures and tables
Photographs, maps etc. should be in a single sequence of Figures, not separate sequences of Plates, Maps etc. Figures/tables and their captions should not be incorporated in the body of the text. Please insert them at the end of the document, after the references. To show where in the text you would ideally like figures or tables to appear, please put INSERT FIG. 1 AROUND HERE at the appropriate point. Tables/figures must have a relevant title. Finished artwork for figures must be clear, suitable for clear reproduction and easy to understand when reduced in size for the TPR/IDPR page. Degrees of shading in a figure must be easily differentiated from each other.
Quotations
Quotations in the text of more than 30 or so words should be pulled out of the text and indented, using indents, not tabs. They should have a line space above and below them. Indented quotations should not be put in quotation marks. Italicise only those parts of the quotation that were in italics in the original, unless you specifically want to stress part of a quote, in which case you should add (emphasis added) after the quotation.
References
TPR/IDPR uses the author' Cdate system of referencing. Please avoid using footnotes wherever possible. However, where their use is unavoidable, please use superscript numbers within the text corresponding with the number of the relevant footnote.
References in the text should be made in the following ways:
As Scott (1996) points out, this may not be so.
However, this might not be so (Scott, 1996).
(Jones, 1995, 17; Smith, 1998)
(Jones, 1995; 1997)
For a reference with three or more authors, name only the first with et al. Do not use ibid. when referring to the same work twice in succession.
You must make sure that all references which appear in the text are given in full in the references section. Where there is more than one reference to the same author for the same year, they should be listed as 1995a, 1995b etc.
The references section should be a continuous alphabetical list. Do not divide the list into different sections (books, reports, newspaper articles etc.). Where there is more than one reference to the same author, that author's references should appear in chronological order, with references to that author in conjunction with others coming after the last reference to the author alone. For example:
JONES (1992)
JONES (1994)
JONES and CAMPBELL (1989)
Books
The order of information should be as in the following examples:
CASTELLS, M. (1978), City, Class and Power , London, Macmillan.
FALUDI, A. and VOOGD, H. (eds) (1985), Evaluation of Complex Policy Problems: Case Studies and Reports , Delft, Delftsche Uitgers Maatschappij.
Journal papers and book chapters
The order for references to articles/chapters of books should be as in these examples:
DAVIDOFF, P. (1965), Advocacy and pluralism in planning', Journal of the American Institute of Planners , 28, 331-38.
DROR, Y. (1986), Planning as fuzzy gambling: a radical perspective in coping with uncertainty', in D. Morley and A. Shachar (eds), Planning in Turbulence , Jerusalem, The Magnes Press, 247-81.
Do not include the issue number of the volume in which an article appears (i.e. do not use 28 (3) 331-38).
If referring to a chapter in a book that appears elsewhere in the references, use the convention:
NEWMAN, D. and APPELBAUM, L. (1992), Recent ex-urbanisation in Israel in Golanyi et al. (eds), 20--29.
Papers/working papers/reports etc.
These need an explanation of what they are in parentheses after the title. The title can be in inverted commas or in italic, depending on whether the work was published or not (published, use italic; not published, use inverted commas). For example:
SMITH, J. (1995), Contemporary urban transport (paper delivered to the Conference on Urban Transport, Bristol, 14-15 September).
SMITH, J. (1995), Contemporary urban transport (unpublished PhD thesis), Bristol, University of Bristol.
SMITH, J. (1995), Contemporary Urban Transport (Working Paper No. 5), Chelmsford, Essex County Council.
SMITH, J. (1995), Contemporary Urban Transport (report to the Working Group on Urban Transport), Chelmsford, Essex County Council.
When the authoring/editing body is generally referred to in its abbreviated form, it should appear in the references following the convention:
BMA (BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION) (1998), Health and Environmental Impact Assessment: An Integrated Approach , London Earthscan.
In this way, references in the text can be kept short (BMA, 1998).
Editorial correspondence, including articles submitted and books for review, should be addressed to:
