Detailed instructions for
submission
It is recommended that all authors read the following instructions throughout before
submitting their papers.
Method and format of
submission
 | HTML
The preferred format is HTML with links to images already arranged. In essence, we expect
a ready made WWW publication. If you do not know how to do html, then usually it is easy
to find someone around the deptartment that can do it. If you find this impossible then we
are willing to do it for you, but this is a lot of extra work and so Please
only ask us if you have tried elsewhere. File names should be in lower case
(home.htm, not HOME.HTM)
|
How
to submit
| FTP. (the preferred method). Send an e-mail to heelisp@newi.ac.uk asking for the current
arrangements for using ftp. Create a directory with your surname, be careful to put your
files in this directory only. Send an e-mail to confirm that you have sent a contribution.
|
or
| Regular Mail.
As a collection of HTML files written to a 3.5" 720K, 800K or
1.4 MByte DOS or Macintosh formatted disk and sent by regular post to Dr Paul Heelis.
|
| E-mail.
In our experience, this is the least satisfactory method of sending files. However, if you
are unfamiliar with ftp then we will try to accept your contribution with this method as
well. Send the files to heelisp@newi.ac.uk

We will be happy to provide advice, if
problems are encountered in submitting papers.
No submissions on paper will accepted.

Style notes
| Any reasonable arrangement of the various sections
of the paper will be acceptable. However, a typical arrangement would be as follows,
title, authors affiliation, abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results and
discussion, conclusion, acknowledgments, references. The official logo of the institute
may also be included above the title, but should not be intrusive.
|
| The use of colour in graphs and figures is actively
encouraged and is indeed a major advantage of the internet medium, but authors are urged
to exercise the restraint appropriate to a scientific journal. For example, heading and
subheadings may be in a different colour to the main text (black). The highlighting of
sections with (for example) small images, is acceptable, but the use of background
wallpaper or flashy special effects is not.
|
| However, it should be remembered that subtle effects
such as shading may look impressive on a hi-res 21 inch monitor, but would be completely
lost on 14 inch monitor with just 16 colours. In addition large image files which may be
slow to download should be avoided.
|
Citations
| Reference lists should be divided into 2 sections,
a) Conventional references to paper journals. These can be cited in any style
e.g.[1,2,3].
b) A separate list of references to electronic media e.g. WWW is required and
should be cited as [E1,E2,E3.....].
