I 33hygiene 1_2012 about the publisher _ submissions I submissions formatting requirements Please note that all the textual elements of your submission: • complete article • figure captions • literature list • contact info (e-mail addy please) • author bio must be combined into one Microsoft Word document.Pleasedonotsubmitmultiplefiles for each of these items. In addition, images (tables, charts, photographs, etc.) must not be embedded in the text document. Allimagesmustbesubmittedseparately, and details about how to do this appear below. If you are interested in submitting a C.E. article, please contact us for additional in- structionsbeforeyoumakeyoursubmission. _Text length Article lengths can vary greatly — from a mere 1,500 to 5,500 words — depending on the subject matter. Our approach is that if you need more or less words to do the topic justice,thenpleasemakethearticleaslongor as short as necessary. We can run an extra long article in multi- ple parts, but this is usually discussing a sub- ject matter where each part can stand alone because it contains so much information. In addition, we do run multipart series on vari- ous topics. In short, we do not want to limit you in terms of article length, so please use the word count above as a general guideline and if you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. _Text formatting Pleaseusesinglespacinganddonotputextra space between paragraphs. We also ask that youforegoanyspecialformattingbeyondthe useofitalicsandboldface,andmakesurethat all text is left justified. If you would like to emphasize certain words within the text, please only use italics (do not use underlining or a larger font size). Boldface should be reserved for article head- lines, headers and subheads please. Please do not “center” text on the page, addspecialtabstopsoruseunderlinesinyour text as all of this must be removed manually before layout. If you require a special layout, please let the word processing program you are using help you to do this formatting automatically rather than doing it manually. Ifyouneedtomakealistoraddfootnotes or endnotes, please let the word processing program do it for you automatically. There are menus in every program that will help you apply all sorts of special for- matting. _Image requirements Please number images consecutively by using a new number for each image. If it is imperative that certain images are grouped together, then use lowercase letters to des- ignate the images in a group (i.e., Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b, Fig. 2c). Insert figure references in your article wherever they are appropriate, whether that is in the middle or end of a sentence, but before the period rather than after. Our preference is to have figure references noted in the appropriate place within the text as it helps the readers to orient themselves when moving through the article. In addition, please note: • We require images in TIF or JPEG format • These images must be no smaller than 4 x 4 inches in size at 300 DPI • Images should be 1 MB in size each Ifyouhaveanimagethatisgreaterthan 1 MB, please do not bother “sizing it down” to meet our requirements, but send us the largest file size available. The larger the startingimageisintermsofbytes,themore leeway the designer has in terms of resizing theimagetofillupmorespaceshouldthere be room available). Also, please remember that you should not embed the images into the body of the text document you submit. Images must be submitted separately from the textual submission. You may submit images through a zipped file via e-mail, unzipped individual filesviae-mailorpostaCDcontainingyour images directly to us (please contact us for themailingaddressasthiswilldependupon whereyouwillbemailingthemfrom). Please do not forget to send us a head shot photo of yourself that also fits the imagerequirementsnotedabovesothatit canbeprintedalongwithyourarticle. _Abstracts An abstract of your article is not required. However, if you choose to provide us with one, we will print it in a separate box. _Contact info At the end of every article is a contact info box with contact information along with a head shot of the author. Pleasenoteattheendofyourarticlethe exact information you would like to appear in this box and format it according to the previously mentioned standards.
