Manuscript Submission
Submit articles
electronically to msmith@keene.edu. Please send the file as an attachment
saved in Microsoft Word. Include at the bottom of the article file a
"bio" of two to three sentences for each author, along with the
e-mail address of the lead author. We publish the e-mail addresses of our
authors so that readers may have the opportunity to offer authors direct
feedback on the article.
In your e-mail
message with the article attachment, be sure to include your mailing address,
phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address so that we may contact you during the
editing process.
Graphic Elements
If photos,
tables, or other graphics are sent electronically, each should be sent as a
separate file from the article file. Figures and photos MUST be saved in a
high-resolution (minimum 300 DPI) TIFF or EPS format to ensure
publication-quality images.
If you cannot
send your graphics electronically, you may send hard copies suitable for
scanning, such as original photographs, photograph-quality prints (especially
for color illustrations) and high-resolution computer printouts (for black and
white figures and graphs only).
All photographs
should be identified with a suggested caption. The captions should include the
names of people shown and the location of the shot, if pertinent. If a
photograph is copyrighted, the photographer or photography firm's name also
must be included so that we can give proper credit. It is the author's
responsibility to secure appropriate consents from people shown in photographs,
and permission to reprint copyrighted photos. If you wish to have photographs
returned, request this in your cover letter and include the proper return
address.
Tables should
be double-spaced and numbered consecutively in the order in which they are
mentioned in the text of the article. Provide a brief title for each. Figures
or graphs also should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are
mentioned in the article.
References
A list of
references or a bibliography may be included, using standard APA.
