Instructions for Authors

Submission of Manuscripts

Manuscripts may be sent to the International/U.S. Editorial Office: Muriel Adcock, P.O. Box 5298, Larkspur, CA 94977; E-mail: WorldFutures@aol.com. Book Reviews can be sent to the Book Review Editor, John Hisnanick, 2118 Edgewater Parkway, Silver Spring, MD 90903; E-mail: jhisnanick@yahoo.com Authors are strongly encouraged to submit manuscripts on disk along with an exact hardcopy in duplicate. The disk should be prepared using MS Word or WordPerfect and should be clearly labeled with the authors' names, file name, and software program. A hardcopy printout that exactly matches the disk must be supplied. Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher. All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, 12 pt. font, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more that 100 words. Keywords must also be supplied. In the abstract, avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text.

Illustrations

Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:

  • 300 dpi or higher
  • sized to fit on journal page
  • EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only
  • submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files
Color illustrations will be considered for pulbication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in their printing and publication. The charge for the first page with color is $900.00. The next three pages with color are $450.00 each. A custom quote will be provided for color art totaling more than 4 journal pages. Good-quality color prints or files should be provided in their final size. The publisher has the right to refuse publication of color prints deemed unacceptable.  

Tables and Figures

Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files. However, authors should indicate the desired placement of tables and figures in the text (i.e. place Figure 1 here). A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number, author's name, and top edge indicated.

Footnotes

Footnotes should be noted in numerical order within the text and then placed at the end of the manuscript, preceeding the references.

References

Within text, citations should be cited by author(s) and date in parentheses. Full citations are required and should be arranged alphabetically. For further information, consult the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed. Examples:

Proofs and Reprints

The corresponding author will receive proofs, which should be proofread and returned within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections are limited to printer's errors; no substantial author's changes will be made. Hard copies of copyright forms should be signed by the corresponding author and returned with the page proofs to the publisher. Each author will receive one complete copy of the issue in which the article appears.
