Credit Lines Tables Graphics Math Equations Chemical Structures How Should I Prepare My References? Periodicals Books Works Presented At Meetings And Conferences Patents Government Publications Electronic Publications "In Press" Designation Additional Information Field Miscellaneous Ethical Issues Copyright Permissions Checklist for Submission Materials 1.  TIMELINE FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Mail the original of your signed contributor's agreement to the address above IMMEDIATELY. On or before your stated due date, submit an electronic file of your manuscript and all related material to encyclopedias@dekker.com. Your manuscript will be peer reviewed. As a result, the manuscript may be accepted, rejected or returned for modification. Submit a revised version of the manuscript by mail to the address above, including a hardcopy and a diskette. 2.  HOW SHOULD I PREPARE MY MANUSCRIPT FOR SUBMISSION? CONTENT SPECIFICATIONS Your article should consist of these main sections: Keywords:  Begin each article with 5-10 keywords. Keywords can be conceptual/abstract and need not be actual words in the text of your entry. Introduction:  Include an introductory paragraph to your article. Keep in mind that this will serve as a preview to your entry on the web version of the encyclopedia. Body of Text:  Discuss your entry topic in further depth, yet within the specified length requirements of your encyclopedia. Conclusion:  Summarize your topic and briefly touch on future prospects (if applicable) in roughly one or two paragraphs. Acknowledgments:  As needed, feel free to mention individuals, organizations or institutions that provided valuable assistance to you in the development of your manuscript. References:  List sources cited in order of their appearance in the text. Illustrations:  We strongly encourage the use of graphics, tables, charts, and photographs to enhance the value of your article. FORMATTING SPECIFICATIONS Allowable formats: Microsoft Word 6.0 or greater or Rich Text Format (RTF). RTF is available through the "Save As" option on most major word processing packages. Assign descriptive names to your files, e.g., Your last name - Entry Title (Hall - Drug Delivery). Use separate files for each figure, e.g., Hall - Figure 1; Hall - Figure 2! Vertical Spacing: Double space everything (including "References" and illustration legends). To indicate a required line ending--such as at the end of a heading, paragraph, list entry, or references--use a double Enter; do not indent. Horizontal Spacing: Use only a single space after a period or other punctuation. Use one font and font size throughout your manuscript, even for the title of your article, headings, tables and captions. 12-point Times New Roman is good. Do not include any commands for page breaks or headers/footers. Do not use automatic hyphenation or justification. Title and Headings Use the same font and font size as your text. Do not boldface, underscore or italicize your article title or headings. Place them flush left (not centered or indented). Insert a double Enter above and below all headings. Title Style ALL CAPITAL LETTERS (chemical prefixes and elemental symbols may include lowercase letters) First Level Headings ALL CAPITAL LETTERS Second Level Headings Capitalize First Letter of Each Word Only Third Level Headings Capital letter for the first word only; all lowercase letters thereafter 3.  HOW SHOULD I PREPARE TABLES, GRAPHICS, EQUATIONS AND CHEMICAL STRUCTURES? You must provide full-size hardcopies for each figure used, sized to fit 8-1/2 x 11 double column (see below). Do not imbed figures in the text! Each figure should be saved as a separate document at 100% final size. Indicate in the text where each figure should be inserted, e.g. (see Figure 1) or simply (Figure 1). Files should be named as ENTRY/ARTICLE, FIGURE 1, FIGURE 2, etc¡­ Provide a brief title for each figure and indicate its placement within the manuscript. Please be sure that sources and captions are provided. The credit line should incorporate any special wording provided by the copyright holder. CREDIT LINES Every figure and table needs a credit line, unless it is based entirely on original data and has not been published elsewhere. Material in the public domain should have a credit line acknowledging its source. The format of the credit line should be consistent with the reference format guidelines in this document. The credit line should incorporate any special wording provided by the copyright holder. TABLES Abbreviations should be defined in a footnote at the end of the table or as part of the Table caption. Please use Word for the PC to format table(s). GRAPHICS General Requirements: Supply digital files for all graphics unless the original is: (1) analog (film or paper-based photographs), or (2) from a technology that does not export images in TIFF or EPS formats, such as EKGs, etc. In these cases, submit the original artwork with two photocopies. Provide a paper printout of each digital graphic file at 100% of final size. We use the printout to verify that it is the correct image file, at the correct size. Do not use more than 4 levels of gray in charts and graphs (use 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% of black). Do not overlay type on a gray background. Color images are used in the electronic version of your article but are converted to black-and-white for the print version. It is crucial to determine that the color art will render acceptably in black-and-white by converting it to grayscale. If the grayscale image does not contain sufficiently different levels of gray, please replace the image with one that works in black-and-white or eliminate it. Label art in 10 pt Helvetica type, upper and lower case, to ensure readability on the Web site. Any lines or rules should be at least 1/2 point thick. The encyclopedia has its own sizing criteria. The trim size is 8-1/2 x 11/Double-column width, so the maximum width for graphics is 6-5/8 inches (or 40 picas, or 17 cm). The maximum depth is 7 inches (or 42 picas, or 18 cm). Be sure to subtract space for the caption. File Formats: Be sure to deliver images at the sizes and resolutions prescribed. Lower resolutions or smaller sizes result in poor reproduction quality; higher resolutions or bigger images result in unnecessarily larger files. Raster Art (art that has been scanned or rasterized; e.g., Photoshop, CorelPhoto): Save as TIFF or EPS with a resolution of 300 ppi (pixels per inch) at 100% of final size. Color images should remain in RGB. (Do NOT convert color images to CMYK.) Rasterized, black-and-white line art (i.e., line art that has been scanned) should be saved as Black and White (not grayscale), bitmap mode, at a resolution of 300 ppi and at 100% of final size. Vector Art (created via drawing or charting programs; e.g., Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, DeltaGraph): Save as (or export as) EPS format at 100% of final size with all fonts embedded. Render in black-and-white only, grayscale is ok. Use Adobe Helvetica only for type within the illustrations. MATH EQUATIONS Use MathType4 for simple mathematical equations if keyboard characters are not adequate. Use TeX/LaTeX only if there are significant amounts of mathematics. Submit these files as plain TeX or LaTeX2e languages with little or no customization. Mathematical equations must appear between paragraphs. Never locate math or formulas within a paragraph. CHEMICAL STRUCTURES Use a chemical drawing program (preferably ChemDraw 4 or greater), and submit in both TIFF format and native file formats (e.g. RDX). If your chemical drawing program does not support TIFF file creation, contact the Production Editor. Chemical equations must appear between paragraphs. Never locate chemical equations within a paragraph. 4.  HOW SHOULD I PREPARE MY REFERENCES? Cite references in the text by number only using parentheses [e.g. (1)] and list them in the reference section at the end of the article, in the order of appearance in the text. Footnotes should be included in the list of references. Dekker is standardizing reference formats for all encyclopedia articles to facilitate reference linking. (For more information on reference linking initiatives, please consult the CrossRef web site at www.crossref.org.) Compliance with reference format instructions will significantly reduce manuscript production time. Periodicals Author, 1.; Author, 2.; ...Author, X. Title of article.
