About the journal
The English-language, fully-refereed, journal Imago Mundi was founded in 1935 and is the only international, interdisciplinary and scholarly journal solely devoted to the study of early maps in all their aspects. Full-length articles, with abstracts in English, French, German and Spanish, deal with the history and interpretation of non-current maps and mapmaking in any part of the world. Shorter articles communicate significant new findings or new opinions. All articles are fully illustrated. Each volume also contains three reference sections that together provide an up-to-date summary of current developments and make Imago Mundi a vital journal of record as well as information and debate: Book Reviews; an extensive and authoritative Bibliography; and a Chronicle, the official record for the previous year compiled from the data supplied by National Representatives in 25 countries.
Contributions Manuscripts and editorial communications should be sent to:
Dr. C. Delano Smith, Imago Mundi, 285 Nether Street, London N3 1PD, UK
Why your library should subscribe to Imago Mundi
Whether or not your library takes Imago Mundi could be up to YOU! Library committees are often asked to cut less valued periodicals. Please speak up for Imago Mundi . There are many good reasons, you can point out, for retaining, or acquiring it. For instance:
Imago Mundi is the journal of record for the history of cartography and the only international scholarly journal solely concerned with the study and interpretation of maps and mapmaking in any part of the world, at any period.
From the outset, Imago Mundi included the key ingredients of every subsequent volume: illustrated scholarly articles, book reviews, bibliography, and chronicle. The last three elements, which together provide an up-to-date summary of current developments, make it a journal of record. The format of the much-admired Bibliography, under its editor Nick Millea, was established in 1976. It is now provided with three indexes, of authors, places and subjects. Chronicle, an organized listing of personal and institutional news, conferences, exhibitions, acquisitions and map sales, was introduced the following year. The Book Reviews Editors, Dr Ronald E Grim and Dr A.S. Bendall, aim to feature a large majority of titles within twelve months of publication. The journal also carries obituaries, reports and short notices.
The present range of refereed articles (usually 8-10 per volume) makes Imago Mundi a genuinely interdisciplinary journal, of relevance to a growing number of university courses, not only in history and geography but also in related subject areas, such as the history of art, ideas, literature and the sciences. Please ensure that Imago Mundi is brought to the notice of colleagues in other disciplines.
If there is end-of-year spending money, it is possible to acquire a full run of Imago Mundi back to 1935.

Instructions to Authors
Conditions of publication
- Work must be original and not already published or accepted for publication elsewhere. If it has been offered elsewhere, the Editor should be informed.
- Permission to publish copyright material and to reproduce illustrations in print and online, worldwide, is the sole responsibility of the author.
- The cost of illustrations (which should be of the highest possible quality) and any reproduction fees are the sole responsibility of the author.
- Imago Mundi Ltd retains the copyright of all material published in Imago Mundi . The opinions of the author are not necessarily those of the Editor or Imago Mundi Ltd.
- In the event of editorial disagreement, the Editor's decision is final.
Intending authors
Imago Mundi welcomes scholarly contributions on all areas and periods of the history of cartography. Full-length articles should present the results of original research or a critical reassessment of established ideas relating directly to the history of maps. They should normally be no longer than 5000 words, excluding notes and references. Shorter articles (2000 words, including notes and references) should report significant new discoveries or factual corrections, or shed new light on matters of general importance.
One paper copy of the text in English (without author's name) should be sent in the first instance to The Editor, Dr C. Delano-Smith, Imago Mundi , 285 Nether Street, London N3 1PD, U.K, with photocopies of suggested illustrations and a list of captions. A digital version of the text should also be enclosed on a CD. Low resolution images only should be sent at this stage for transmission to referees (high resolution images are needed only when the article has been formally accepted for publication). Full-length articles should also be accompanied by a 100-word abstract and a list of keywords. If considered appropriate for Imago Mundi , full-length articles will be forwarded anonymously to two referees, who also remain anonymous, for independent comment. Shorter articles may also be sent to external referees. The email address is: c.delano-smith@qmul.ac.uk .
Accepted authors
Following provisional acceptance for publication in Imago Mundi , authors will be asked to revise their submission in the light of the referees' advice and to conform to Imago Mundi's house style (see below) and to return the revised version by an agreed date, either by e-mail or on a CD. Illustrations should be included, with completed captions (see below). Authors are asked to give their full name (with title), postal address and telephone number, and an e-mail address for the bottom of the first page of their article. Authors are also asked to supply a one-line description of their current professional position or status.
Authors should not attempt their own page layout. Notes and References should be endnotes, not footnotes. Separate files should be used for any appendices and for the numbered captions.
Headings and sub-headings, acknowledgements
Imago Mundi asks for headings and, if necessary, one level of sub-heading, in all articles. The use of headings not only serves as a reader aid, but also encourages authors to think hard about the structure and presentation of their argument. Since the text of the article will be set in double columns, all headings should be short. Acknowledgements, if any, are placed at the end of the text, before Notes and References.
General style
Imago Mundi's editorial policy is to aim for clarity of expression, with no ambiguities, and a good prose style in idiomatic English. The focus of the article should be, of course, on the maps and/or map-maker in question; this usually means starting, after a brief scene-setting introduction, with a basic description of the map(s) before raising the issues it poses.
All authors should bear in mind as they write that many of their readers will not have English as their first language. For authors not writing in English as their native language (or who are using a translator), the Editor and Assistant Editor are prepared to help render their articles into correct and idiomatic (British) English (a copy of the article in the author's own language may be requested where this could help the editors).
Authors are advised that short rather than long sentences, or a mixture, engage the reader and are easier to read. Convoluted sentence structure, and over-use of parentheses, is best avoided; it is better to make a statement before qualifying it. Unattributed pronouns (its, their, his, she, they, etc) are too often ambiguous and should be avoided. Starting a sentence with a hanging particle (eg: 'Having printed four revised versions of the map, and having sold six copies of each, his shop was moved to…') is also discouraged.
House Style
Authors' attention to the details noted here will be appreciated:
1. Quotations: Single quotation marks are used for all quotations, except where there is a quotation within a quotation. In this instance, use double quotation marks.
2. Titles: The titles of well-known Classical works are normally given in English without italics (e.g. Ptolemy's Geography).
3. Proper nouns: Give first names as well as surname at the first mention of a person in the text, but normally use the surname only thereafter.
4. Dates: Dates should be given as 25 March 1999 except where quoting original text.
5. Spelling: Use English spelling as given in the Oxford English Dictionary.
6. Upper/lower case: Lower case is used for cardinal directions unless abbreviated: e.g., north, northwestern, but N, with no stop.
7. Numbers: In the text, the century should be spelled out in full (sixteenth century), but in the notes it should be given as a number (eg. 16th century). Numbers less than twenty should always be spelt out, those above twenty given in Arabic numerals (fifteen, 50, 150). The number 'hundred' is usually spelled out (a hundred years ago).
Quotations
Quotations should be given in the original language and a full English translation provided, normally with the text. Likewise, transliterations should be followed by an English version or equivalent. Please make sure all accents and diacritics are legible. If necessary, highlight them on the paper copy.
Notes and References
Notes and references should be presented as endnotes and numbered consecutively for the whole article. The number of the note should be inserted in superscript at the end of the sentence to which it relates, following the full stop; multiple notes within a sentence are generally unacceptable. All notes should be embedded in the text, not sent in a separate file. A separate bibliogrpahy is not needed.
For the first mention of a reference, all bibliographical details should be given in full and without abbreviations. The first name(s) should be given in full wherever possible. For second and subsequent mentions of a work, use the surname only and a shortened form of the title and a reference back to the first note. For example:
Note 1. For the date, see Nigel J. Morgan, Early Gothic Manuscripts (London, H. Miller; Oxford and New York, Oxford University Press, 1982-1988. 4 volumes.), 4:102-3
Note 2. Morgan, Early Gothic Manuscripts (see note 1), 3:100-1
Place of publication should always be given for books, together with the publisher in the case of books printed after 1900. Single quotation marks are used for titles of articles in journals and chapters in books. Titles of books and journals should be in italic. Manuscripts and their location should be cited in full at the first reference. Superscript should not be used for v and r (verso, recto): eg British Library (hereafter B.L.) Add. MS 36,041, fol. 4 (or fols 4-10r). Manuscript is abbreviated MS and the plural is MSS (with no stop in either case). However, note that inclusive numerals do not repeat numbers common to both numbers (eg. pp. 113-14, 117-28) except where the last digit is 0 (eg. 100-101).
For English book titles, all principal words have a capitalized first letter. In German, only nouns are so capitalized. In French, Italian and Spanish, only the first word and proper names are capitalized. In Dutch, all proper nouns and adjectives formed from them are capitalized.
Essential Bibliographical Details
The editors would prefer authors to concentrate on supplying all required bibliographical information rather than worry over-much about details of presentation. Authors should bear in mind that peer and future researchers will need to identify and locate all references. To ensure that each issue of Imago Mundi remains an invaluable research tool, please note:
Names, with forenames, of author, editor(s), and publisher should be given in full.
Titles of books and articles should always include the subtitle.
Place of publication, publisher, year should always be given. For older publications, the year and the place of publication may be sufficient.
Journal titles should be given in full, with subtitle.
For journals: please make sure the year, volume number and part number (the latter only IF each part is paged individually, i.e. if each part starts with page 1.) are supplied. For special numbers, please give the title in full, the number of the special issue, and the name of the society or publishing body in full where relevant.
Matters Relating to Illustration
Please refer to these notes before ordering or carrying out any scanning.
Imago Mundi encourages illustration. Black and white figures accompany the text, colour plates are reproduced in a separate section (according to availability of space). Variety of format can enhance visual presentation as well as elucidate the argument or inform the reader; line drawings and reproductions of details as well as of map(s) as a whole are welcomed. All figures should be referred to in the text, with the figure number given at the end of the sentence as (Fig.00).
Source of Reproduction
Reproductions should always come directly from the original map or document, not from a secondary source (unless, of course, the original no longer exists or is unavailable), and all illustrations should be of the highest quality possible (see below for technical details). The Editor reserves the right to refuse to include a particular illustration or to allow an article with unsatisfactory illustration to proceed to press.
Line Drawings
Authors are advised to consult recent issues of the journal to see how these should be presented. For example, titles should not be included within the frame, but given in the caption. A scale bar, where relevant, should be included within the frame however. Orientation may be noted in the caption or shown on the drawing with a simple arrow. For resolution of the scan, see below. Please do not send any drawings as a PDF. The Picture Editor will adjust the style, or ask for it to be adjusted, to conform to Imago Mundi 's style. A charge may have to be made if a completely new drawing is supplied.
Captions
Captions should be informative. Standard details – title, author, dimensions, medium, location or source (holding institution and call-mark in the case of a manuscript, rare printed map, or rare book; full bibliographical details in the case of a book illustration) – should be included. If the item is in private hands, it is sufficient to say 'Private Collection'). Acknowledgement of permission to publish must be given ( Imago Mundi 's house style is 'Reproduced with permission from…') It is also desirable to say something briefly about the image to tie it into the text or to draw the reader's attention to a specific point. Over-long captions, however, may mean the image has to be reduced in size if both figure and caption are to fit space available (this is particularly the case of colour plates) and should normally be avoided; one or two short descriptive sentences are usually sufficient. Figures should be numbered, and will eventually be placed, in order of first mention in the text.
A photocopy or printout of each suggested image should be supplied with the printed version of the text, especially on initial submission. High resolution scans (in TIFF or JPG) need not be supplied untilfinal acceptance.
Authors are reminded that they are wholly responsible for the provision of all illustrations, for obtaining permission to reproduce them (they will be asked by the publishers to sign a declaration to this effect), and for all costs involved.
Digital Images
It is no longer possible to accept photographs or drawings on paper, and all illustrations should be supplied in digital form, ideally on a CD or as an e-mail attachment. Please avoid over-tight cropping around the edges and that the image is intact.
The following specifications should ensure the appropriate quality images are supplied from the start:
Format
Imago Mundi supplies the printers with all images in uncompressed TIFF format, but TIFFs or JPGs may be sent to the Editor, providing the files are not compressed. On no account supply anything as a PDF.
Resolution
Care needs to be taken to ensure the resolution of the published image will be the best possible. This means allowing for flexibility. We suggest the following guidelines:
- A scan at 300 dpi (118 dpcm) is suitable only for an image that will be printed on the page (either in colour or monochrome) at a size similar to the original (which may be a whole map or detail).
- A scan at 400-800 dpi (157-314 dpcm) should be suitable for most images, especially those likely to be enlarged to fit the space available on the printed page.
- A scan of 800-1200 dpi (314-472 dpcm) is unlikely to be needed, except in the case of (a) fine line drawings and (b) a small detail that is to be considerably enlarged (e.g, to a full A4 page) or (c) any map from which details will be selected by the Picture Editor (normally, all details should be scanned directly from the original).
Files over 80 MB should not be sent even on a CD.
Colour (bit depth)
Colour pages are rationed, so authors will not always be certain in advance whether their images are to be printed in monochrome or in colour. If in any doubt, please supply 24Bit RGB . Monochrome figures should be 8Bit Greyscale .
Proofs
After editing, submission of articles to the publishers is electronic. Authors are notified through Taylor & Francis's central tracking system (CATS) of receipt of their article. Page proofs will be sent to authors directly by Taylor & Francis with instructions for the return of corrections. Authors should note that changes are expensive and, apart from editorial or printer errors, only essential changes should be made by the author. Excessive alterations may be charged to the author.
Free article access
Corresponding authors can receive 50 free reprints, free online access to their article through Taylor & Francis's website and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Complimentary reprints are available through Rightslink® and additional reprints can be ordered through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact the reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
Copyright
It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or license the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to Imago Mundi Ltd. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and of course the Journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors retain many rights under the Taylor & Francis rights policies, which can be found at http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/preparation/copyright.asp .
As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as "derivative reproduction" (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source).
