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 than 100 words; avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and direct reference to the text.

References. Cite in the text by author and date set in brackets (e.g., [Smith, 1983]). Prepare reference list alphabetically and in accordance with the supplied examples:

Journal: Priestley, M. N. J and Calvi, G. M. [1991] ‘‘Towards a capacity-design assessment procedure for reinforced concrete frames,'' Earthquake Spectra 7(3), 413–437.

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 Reproduction. Color illustrations will be considered for publication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in color art reproduction. Color art can be purchased for online only conversion and reproduction or for print + online reproduction. Color reprints can only be ordered if print + online reproduction costs are paid. Rates for color art reproduction are: Online Only Reproduction: $225 for the first page of color; $100 per page for each of the next three pages of color. A maximum charge of $525 applies. Print + Online Reproduction: $900 for the first page of color; $450 per page for the next three pages of color. A custom quote will be provided for articles with more than 4 pages of color.

Tables and Figures. Tables and figures (illustrations) should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets and files. 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.

Proofs. Page proofs are sent to the designated author. They must be carefully checked and returned within 48 hours of receipt.

Offprints. The corresponding author of each article will receive one complete copy of the issue in which the article appears. Offprints or reprints of an individual article may be ordered from Taylor & Francis. A link to the ordering form is included at the proofs stage.
