How you should supply your manuscript
WORD-PROCESSOR FILES
We can use files created in any common word-processing package. If you are in any doubt about compatibility, please contact Pharmaceutical Press. All textual components of your manuscript should be supplied as separate word-processed files, limiting each file to about 100kB (about 50 double-spaced pages). Please ensure the file names are meaningful, e.g. 01Text, 01Tables, 14Refs, Intro, FigCaps. You should supply a list of file names with an explanation of the content if unclear.
Label each disk with the author name(s), title, the files contained, the word-processing package and version used, and the date created.
FORMATTING
We require simple word-processed files, containing the words only. Avoid unnecessary styling and formatting. Follow these guidelines when preparing your files.
DO
- leave the text ragged on the right-hand side
- use your program's normal margins
- double-space all text
- indent each new paragraph with one tab space
- use italics for mathematical symbols, species' names, Latin terms, and journal and book titles
- number all pages consecutively
DO NOT
- insert headers or footers
- use forced page breaks
- justify the text
- centre text
- tab (except at the beginning of each new paragraph or to display a quote, using one tab space only)
- use more than one space between words and between sentences
- design the pages
- use tint boxes or rules
- use the Enter or Return key at ends of lines
- use hyphens at the end of lines to break words
- apply formatting styles such as bold or italic unless essential for sense
- use ALL CAPS
THE PRINTOUT
In addition to supplying your manuscript on disk, please always supply a printout of each file. Do not print out your files until you have finalised the text, as the printout should exactly match the files.
- Print out your manuscript on one side only and on white A4 (210 × 297mm) paper
- Double-space all text
- Leave at least a 3cm margin on all sides
- Number all pages consecutively
