ILLUSTRATIONS
Line Drawings - Ensure you supply a clear, well-drawn original -
not a sketch or a photocopy. Line drawings must be positioned on
the CRC, centred on the type width. Labelling should not be set smaller
than 8pt.
Halftones - If previously agreed, halftone
illustrations (black and white photos) may be included in your CRC.
Please supply high-contrast glossy prints (unscreened). Write your
name and the figure number on a label on the back of each illustration,
marking the top of the illustration with an arrow so it can be positioned
correctly. Then leave the correct space on your CRC for it to be
dropped in by the printer.
Captions - Figures should be numbered. e.g. Figure 1, Figure
2, etc. The caption should be positioned underneath the illustration
and separated from it by one blank line. Captions may be set slightly
smaller than the main text (i.e. 9pt).
Colour - Please note that colour can NOT be used anywhere in the
paper. Back to top of page
USE OF COPYRIGHT MATERIAL
Permission must be sought from the copyright holder to reproduce previously
published material.

REFERENCES
Please follow the reference style shown below and in the specimen
page .
References may be set slightly smaller than the main text (i.e. 9pt).
Bear in mind the following general points:
-
The information must be accurate - check references against source.
-
The information must be sufficient to locate the reference.
-
The text citations and the reference list must tally.
Text Citations
Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned
in the text. References cited only in a table or figure legend should
be numbered as though they were cited in the first text cross reference
to the relevant table or figure.
Identify references in the text, tables and figure legends by arabic
numerals in square brackets (e.g. "...as has been demonstrated recently
[19]." ).
Reference List
-
List the references in numerical order.
-
If a work has more than six authors, list only the first three, followed
by "et al.".
-
The following styles are used for the main categories of references.
Journal titles are abbreviated inaccordance with BS 4148 (1970, 1975),
which is compatible with ISO 833 and ANSI Z39.5 (1969).
