Journal of Architectural Conservation Notes for contributors
Contributions are invited for the Journal of Architectural Conservation on any of the above topics. The Editor welcomes submissions written in English from Europe and the rest of the world, provided that they have not been published, nor are currently under review, elsewhere. All papers will be peer-reviewed.
PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Authors should submit one paper copy and one electronic copy of the paper, including illustrations, and should retain an additional copy for their own reference. Contributions for publication in the Journal of Architectural Conservation should be addressed to:
Jill Pearce Tel: +44 (0) 1747 828422 Fax: +44 (0) 1747 828522 E-mail: jac@donhead.com
Submission of a paper to the Journal is taken to imply that it represents original work, which is not under consideration for publication elsewhere and has not been published previously. Papers and contributions published become the legal copyright of the publisher, unless otherwise agreed. All papers will be critically assessed by the team of Consultant Editors, and then peer-reviewed before being accepted for publication. Papers should be written in English and be between 2,000 and 5,000 words in total length (including abstract, biography and notes). Shorter/viewpoint papers can be of 750-2000 words in length. Our preferred format is on CD or as a PC compatible file in Word (version 2000 or earlier). Contributors with more recent software should save using an earlier file format. If in doubt please check with the Publishing Manager, Dorothy Newberry. The first page should contain: an informative but short title; the author’s name, qualifications and affiliation; a brief biographical (30-75 words); a descriptive abstract (100-200 words); and up to five keywords. Please also provide full postal and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers for all authors of the paper, identifying the corresponding author. Where a paper has in excess of three authors, the publisher may shorten the list with the use of et al.
Preparation of Manuscript
The Journal uses British English, and the Managing Editor reserves the right to edit to this standard. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the readership the use of jargon should be avoided. Please note that typists should leave only one space after a full stop. Symbols, abbreviations and conventions in papers must follow the recommended SI Units. Abbreviations must be defined after their first mention, e.g. The Society Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB). Do not use automatic features such as endnotes or comments.
Headings Headings should not be numbered, and should be capitalized or marked (heading). Subheadings should be in upper and lower case bold or marked (subheading).
Illustrations Up to ten illustrations per paper can be accepted, although if the paper requires more illustrations this can be discussed with the publishers. All illustrations must be suitable for black and white reproduction. Illustrations should accompany the typescript separately (i.e. not embedded in the text file). Figures and line drawings should be numbered consecutively (Fig 1, Fig 2 etc.), and submitted in their original form (not photocopies or computer printouts) ready for reproduction. Figure captions should be included within the main text of the paper, together with any acknowledgement to the copyright holder. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure the proper permissions are obtained. Digital files of illustrations need to be at least 1800 pixels by 1200 pixels (to give 300dpi at the final reproduction size), and saved as TIF or JPEG files with minimal compression. As an approximate guide, any JPEG files less than 400 KB are unlikely to be suitable for reproduction. The recommended format for digital line drawings is as bitmap files with a resolution of at least 600dpi at the final reproduction size. Digital images can be saved to a CD and posted or emailed to dorothy@donhead.com. Only attach one image per email. Do not send electronic images embedded in a Word file. If you would like to check your images for their suitability for publishing, please send a sample file to Dorothy Newberry. Tables and graphs should be submitted as an electronic file (Word or Excel) with a hard copy for reference only. The legend (key) and lines or shading must be suitable for black and white printing. If graphs are submitted as JPEG or TIF files they must be in bitmap format with a resolution of at least 600dpi at the final reproduction size If digital images are not available, photographs can be submitted but it may not be possible to include as many. Photographs should be high quality positives, printed from original negatives, and suitable for black and white printing. The top of the illustration should be marked lightly in pencil on the back. Computer printouts of electronic images cannot be accepted.
References References should be numbered consecutively through the text using superscript, then cited in full at the end of the paper in the following style: for journals: 1. Jones, D. F. and Smith, B., ‘Gauged Brickwork’, Journal of Brick Building, Vol. 4, No. 1, June 1993, pp. 136–157. for books: 2. Robson, P., Structural Repair of Traditional Buildings, Donhead, Shaftesbury (1999). If a reference to a website is included, please indicate the date that it was accessed. References should be typed in standard text format with numbers typed manually within the text, not produced using the automatic endnotes function.
Proofs Once a final version of a paper has been accepted for publication and the Journal has been typeset, proofs will be sent to the corresponding author and should be returned to the publisher within 3 days of receipt. It is the author’s responsibility to proofread the paper.
Copyright It is a condition of publication that authors vest copyright of their papers (including abstracts) to Donhead Publishing. Illustrations will be published with their copyright details. It is the responsibility of the author to obtain permission to include copyright material from other sources (e.g. illustrations or tables). Authors may use the material elsewhere after publication providing that prior permission is obtained from Donhead Publishing Ltd.
Complimentary copies Authors will receive an electronic version, and three complimentary copies of the issue in which their paper appears and should contact the publisher if offprints of their paper are required. The electronic version will be sent by e-mail as a PDF, the author is allowed to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. Book reviewers will receive one copy free of charge. Larger quantities may be ordered at a special discount price. |
