Guidelines for Manuscript Submissions

Correspondence by e-mail is requested for convenience and speed. Authors may submit manuscripts in English to any member of the Editorial Board in the following format:

1. A Postscript or PDF file of the submitted manuscript
2. A Cover Letter with:
   • Author(s)'s preferred addresses, e-mail address, phone number and fax number
   • The intended publication format (Short paper, Regular paper or Expository paper).
3. An informative abstract of no more than 200 words.

Authors of all accepted papers must send the electronic version of the final manuscript approved by the Editorial Board to the corresponding editor (preferably in TeX or its variants).

Manuscript Style, Illustrations and Photos

The manuscript should be typewritten using double spacing, one side of sheet only. All pages should be numbered consecutively, including illustration pages (which preferably should be grouped at the end), with no omitted page numbers. Figures should be identified with the figure number and author's name at the bottom or on the back. Information should be kept on the margin, off the body of the figure. 

Figures and photos should be original proofs and not photocopies. Photos must be prints with no screens. Laser prints are not acceptable in place of photos or where gray scale graphics are involved. All line drawings and photo should be in black and white, unless specifically requested. Note that any illustration that is to be printed in color will be at the expense of the author.

When a paper is accepted for publication, the author will be asked to transfer the copyright to International Press. Even if the copyright is transferred to the publisher, the authors and their employers will be permitted to reproduce their work for fair use, which should not include any profit making activity.
