Formating
We
would prefer to receive "standard" LaTeX files although TeX is an
acceptable
alternative. If authors are using any non-standard packages, they
should let us know so that we can check their compatibility with the
concatenation
program that we use to prepare the books.
Authors are also welcome to use Microsoft Word or Word Perfect. There's also a program called Scientific Word that translates word files (rtf) into LaTeX We can handle documents in this programme as well. Jane Spurr will be glad to field any queries that authors may have.
Footnotes should be in standard LaTeX footnote style (i.e., at the end of each page, rather than as "endnotes"). The bibliography should be in "named" style. Please note that you can use \shortcite, which only displays the year. For LateX users, the .sty and named.bst files are available by clicking here or here depending on the version of LateX you are using..
For those using programmes other than LateX, you need not be concerned about the style of your bibliographic entries since your files will be converted to LateX during the production stage and, therefore, will print out in the "named" style. If anyone would prefer to work from a sample bibliography, they can click here. Citation style for those using any programme other than LateX may also be in whatever format is most familiar. Conversion to LateX will standardize the citation styles.
Indexing
Each
monograph will contain a single index made up of up to 3 parts: names,
topics, notation. To assist the production team in the
preparation
of the index and to give authors complete control over how their
monographs
are referenced we have provided complete directions below. If
there
are any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Jane Spurr,
Publications
Administrator.
For
LaTeX users:
In
every case the \index command should be placed immediately against the
name, word, or notation where it appears in the text --- leave no
spaces.
This eliminates page breaks splitting the index command from the text
and
referring the reader to the incorrect page. Authors should index
their monographs using the standard LaTeX indexing conventions.
-Names
should be indexed using the format \index{Surname, A. B.} (be sure
there
is a space between initials)
-Notations
should be indexed using a sensible alpha system, e.g.,
\index{lambda@$\lambda$-calculus}
For
Non-LaTeX users:
Hard
copy (or pdf files) should have all index entries highlighted.
Names
that do not occur in the bibliography should have a marginal note that
shows the persons initials. Where the highlighted entry is not
identical
to the phrase that authors prefer to see in the index, a marginal note
should show the preferred form of entry.
