Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts must be submitted in English, and must be original, unpublished work not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Text preferably on disk or as an e-mail including all original figures and tables should be submitted to Murray Fraser, Department of Architecture, University of Westminster, 35, Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5LS, UK; email: m.fraser@westminster.ac.uk.  The paper will receive blind review. Revisions may be required before a decision is made to accept or reject the paper. When a paper has been accepted, please send the text in its final form on an openable disk with illustrations as GIF, TIF or JPG files only to Peter Gibbs-Kennet, Norwich Cottage, Bisley, Gloucestershire, GL6 7AD, UK; email: dli1944@aol.com. Please use an open standard word processing package.

Preparation of manuscripts
Manuscripts must be typed, double-spaced on A4 paper, with at least 3 cm margins (approximately 21 x 30 cm). Low quality dot-matrix printers should not be used. Clearly written, concise manuscripts should include:

Title page (page 1)
Including: (a) a concise and informative title; (b) the full names and affiliations of all authors; (c) the full postal address, telephone, e-mail and fax numbers of the corresponding author.

Abstract (page 2)
A concise and informative abstract of 200 words maximum, summarising the significant points of the paper.

Introduction (page 3)
The introduction should clearly state the purpose of the paper. It should include key references to appropriate work but should not be an historical or literature review.

Notes and references
Where explanatory notes and references are relevant, they should be indicated in the text by a superscript number. A full list of all notes and references should be provided at the end of the paper. Journal references should include all authors' names and initials, year of publication, title of paper, journal titles in full, volume number and first and last page numbers. References to books should include their edition, and all editor(s) and all relevant authors, publisher and place of publication. It is the authors' responsibility to check the accuracy of references. Examples:

• (Book) N. Goodman, The Languages of Art (Indianapolis, Bobbs-Merril, 1968), pp. 52-56. 
• (Edited Book) P. Keating ‘The metropolis in literature' in A. Sutcliffe, ed., Metropolis 1980-1940 (London, Mansall, 1984), pp. 129-46. 
• (Journal) R. Landau, ‘Architectural discourse and Giedion'. The Journal of Architecture, 1 (1996), pp. 59-73.

Figures
All illustrations of any kind must be submitted as sequentially numbered figures, one to a page. If photographs are to be used, please supply high quality black and white glossy photographs. Line figures, graphs etc must be supplied as high quality laser print-outs (not photocopies). If it is necessary to submit drawings then these must be of the highest quality and clarity. The author(s) name(s) and the figure number should be written on the reverse of the figure in pencil. When symbols, arrows, numbers or letters are used to identify parts of illustrations they must be clearly identified by a key in the figure legend, rather than in the figure itself. Similarly, internal scales, staining or processing of the figure must be explained where appropriate. Figure legends should be listed sequentially on a separate page. In all cases where the author is not the owner of the copyright of the figures, written permission must be obtained from the copyright holder(s) to reproduce the figures in this journal.

Conventions
Use only recommended SI units. Numerals should be used for all numbers of two or more digits, and for single digits when attached to units of measure. Abbreviations should be defined in parentheses after their first mention in the text in accordance with internationally agreed rules.

Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the designated corresponding author via e-mail in PDF format. Any corrections should be returned directly to the publisher writing 3 days of receipt. Alterations in proofs other than the correction of typesetter's errors may cause delay and extra charges that may be made to the author(s).

Early electronic offprints
Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author's preferential rate of £15.00 per copy.

This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and of course the journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate.
