Manuscript Guidelines
The following guidelines should cover most questions, but feel free
to call us anytime. 001-732-873-5700.
- Average manuscript
length: 8-15 typed pages (3,000 - 6,000 words). Longer articles will
be considered based on topic, subject treatment, and reader interest.
Generally, the longer it is the more spectacular the subject and execution
should be.
- Our aim is to
provide all of the complexity most of our readers need, without leaving
anyone else behind. Consequently, we spell out all acronyms on the
first reference, try to define all terms within the context of the
piece — parenthetical phrases work well — and visually illustrate
most points. The more difficult the subject matter, the more graphs
or charts we need.
- In referring
to other studies, formulae, works or authors, please assume that the
reader has never heard of the material.
- Writers should
support all of their points or explain why that isn't possible.
- We use endnotes,
not footnotes.
- Delivery/Layout
Requirements: please send your article in disk form, as well
as a hard copy, whenever possible. We prefer that you save
your text in Word for Windows 6.0 or 7.0 (font: Times New Roman,
size: 11pt.) in one file and ALL figures, graphs,
and tables in a second file accessible for textual changes
(Title and Data font: Times New Roman, Title size: 11pt and Data size
10pt). Also submitt a third file containing the full article to allow
accurate placement of figures, graphs, and tables. If you can send
these files as an attachment to an e-mail message, that's fine, too.
Please send it to SHastings@SpauldingGrp.com
, or Sabina Hastings,
The Spaulding Group, 33 Clyde Road, Suite 103, Somerset, NJ 08873,
U.S.A.. For more layout information contact Doug Spaulding at 001-732-873-5700
ext 11 or via email at DougSpaulding@SpauldingGrp.com
- Prior to publication
please request and complete the publishing permission form and fax
it back to The Spaulding Group, 001-732-873-3997. Voice is 001-732-873-5700.
- The front page
should include a brief bio that includes the facts about you that
are germane to the piece you wrote.
- We have a double-blind
review process. Initially, your manuscript will be read by two or
more peer reviewers. (Replacement versions will not be accepted at
this point. The project either proceeds with the original document
or the document is withdrawn; and the process begins again with a
new manuscript.) Reviewers' comments will be faxed to you for your
response and any adjustments you may want to make. Once our editors
have your amended copy or changes, the manuscript will be prepared
for publication. Time permitting, the manuscript will be passed back
to you for a final read through.
