Notes for Contributors
3 PAPER COPIES OF TYPESCRIPT REQUIRED PLUS E-MAIL VERSION WHENEVER POSSIBLE: All papers are refereed. Ensure that the author’s name and address is clearly given; wherever possible, authors should supply an e-mail address. Final papers will need to be submitted on disc or by e-mail to the editor. Textual material should be supplied in Word for Windows format with the minimum of inbuilt commands. Illustrations should not be sent by e-mail but as hard copy – sent as originals, good computer print-outs or on CD ROM. Plates, whether in black and white or colour, should be submitted as slides or on a CD ROM (slides will be returned); high quality back and white prints are acceptable.
COPY PREPARATION: Paper copy should be in 1½ spacing with good margins and pages must be numbered. Do not use footnotes – only endnotes – and ensure that a full bibliography is included. The author should retain a copy for reference.
BIOGRAPHY: Contributors are requested to supply a short biography giving background and major recent publications of not more than 50 words.
STYLE: Authors should endeavour to follow the style of spelling, punctuation and reference system specified below: Subheadings: two levels may be used.
Spelling: to follow that in the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English. Words ending in –ise should not be altered to –ize.
Quotations: to be enclosed in single inverted commas; double inverted commas reserved for quotations within quotations. Normally, lengthy quotations will be inset in smaller print, without inverted commas, followed by reference.
Dates: to be given in form 20 April 1946, the era being cited as ‘32 B.C.’ or ‘A.D. 63’.
Numbers: figures should be used for measurement, e.g. 600 metres, but time and figures under 100 should be expressed in words. Percentages should be given in figures, e.g. ‘19 per cent per annum’, but in tables % and p.a. may be used.
Tables: the size of the printed page and its maximum capacity should be borne in mind when preparing graphs, tables and line illustrations. Tables should be numbered in Arabic and not Roman numerals (e.g. ‘Table 9’).
Illustrations: include only those essential to the argument. Line drawings must reach professional standards. The final size of the illustration must be borne in mind when designing lettering etc. Photographs are welcome but must be of good quality, whether black and white or colour. Only a limited number of colour plates are possible in each volume (the editor will advise). Captions for illustrations must be included with the article.
Endnotes: footnotes are not acceptable but endnotes may be used where essential. They should be kept to a minimum.
References: references must be presented in the Harvard system, i.e. in brackets in the text (e.g. Collingwood & Myers 1969, pp. 133-53): authors’ names and dates of publication, with page references unless the reference encompasses the entire work. In the bibliography, full page numbers of each article cited must be given. References should be in alphabetical order by authors’ surnames with each author’s earlier works given first.
Examples: books (titles with first letters in capitals except for secondary titles): Hooke, D., 1985. The Anglo-Saxon Landscape: the kingdom of the Hwicce (Manchester). Attenborough, J. C. (ed. & trans.), 1922. The Laws of the Earliest English Kings (Cambridge).
Chapters in books (lower case, with editors named after book title)): Roberts, B. K., 1973. ‘Field systems in the west midlands’, in Studies of Field Systems in the British Isles, ed. A. R. H. Baker & R. A. Butlin (Cambridge), pp. 188-231.
Papers in journals (lower case, within quotes: Hooper, M., 1970. ‘Dating hedges’, Area, 4, pp. 63-5.
References to publications with the same author’s name and date of publication should be distinguished in citations and in the bibliography by the use of alphabetical suffixes, e.g. P. Smith 1956a.
Unpublished theses to be quoted as papers: unpubl Univ …
PROOF CHECKING: This is the responsibility of the author. Corrections must be restricted to what is absolutely essential. Normally, changes will not be allowed as these increase printing costs. Proofs should be returned without delay.
OFFPRINTS: contributors will receive 20 offprints of their articles without charge unless any are required by the awardee of a grant.
GRANTS: grants towards the cost of publication are always welcome.
Papers to be sent to the Editor: Dr Della Hooke, 91 Oakfield Road, Selly Park, Birmingham B29 7HL, UK. E-mail d.hooke.1@bham.ac.uk |
