NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS ON STYLE AND PRESENTATION

 

The length of an article should not exceed 6,000 words (including footnotes), and it should require not more than fifteen illustrations; the length of a Shorter Notice (including footnotes) may range between 600 and 1,500 words; that of a Note (for which footnotes are not permitted) about 150‑250 words; Reviews are usually up to 1,500 words long.

 

The text should be typed on A4 paper (one side of the paper only), and double­-spaced. Footnotes should be typed (double‑spaced) on a separate page. The typescript should contain no sub‑headings. Inscriptions, words in foreign languages, titles of works of art, books and periodicals should be underlined, but unpublished theses should not. Long quotations should be indented.

 

Dates should be given in the form: 17 March 1513. In references to centuries the ordinal should be spelled out. In numeral references to decades an 's' without an apostrophe should be used.

Notes will be printed as footnotes, not end‑notes. Their length and number should be limited as much as possible.
