GENERAL NOTES ON THE PREPARATION OF SCIENTIFIC PAPERS

Second Edition October I965 0.25 (U.S. $o.65)

The purpose of these general notes is firstly to assist authors in the writing of scientific papers in an acceptable style and secondly to suggest the introduction of greater uni- formity in the general approach to the preparation of scientific papers for publication. It is, nevertheless, clear that specialized subjects may call for particular methods of presentation, and these notes should be read in conjunction with any instructiohs issued by the journal in which the author hopes to publish.

This revised and extended edition has been prepared with the assistance of editors of scientific journals attending Conferences of Editors organized by the Royal Society.

NOTICE TO AUTHORS AND CONIMUNICATORS

No scientific communication or paper is considered, read or published by the Royal Society unless it has been conmmunicated by a Fellow or Foreign Member of the Society whose duty it shall be 'to satisfy himself that any letter, report or other paper which he may communicate is suitable to be read before the Society' (Statute 64).

Authors of papers submitted to the Royal Society are required to put their communications in as concise a form as possible. Papers should be typewritten, carefully revised and properly prepared as copy for the printer. Two copies of the typescript and of the illustrations should be submitted and it is desirable that a further copy be retained by the author.

The communicator shall be responsible for the suitable presentation of the paper and for its grammatical correctness. The Secretaries reserve the right to return a paper to the author for retyping or other adequate preparation if it is presented in a state which wculd make it difficult for the compositor to set.

Every paper must be accompanied by thiree copies of a brief summary not exceeding 5 % of the length of the paper.

Authors are required to send in all original drawings, diagrams or other illustrations, in a state suitable for direct photographic reproduction. They should be drawn on a large scale (to allow reduction to - or 5 linear for finished blocks) in Indian ink on Bristol board or on good quality tracing linen or tracing paper, with temporary lettering in blue pencil. Great care should be exercised in selecting only those that are essential. If unsatisfactory drawings are submitted authors may be required to have them redrawn by a professional artist. The second, photocopied, set of figures should have the necessary lettering inserted clearly in ink. When photographs are essential one set, for the use of the blockmaker, should be in the form of glossy, unmounted and un- lettered prints, suitably protected against damage.

It is to be understood that papers are only accepted on the assumption that authors are prepared to conform with the instructions to authors prescribed by the Royal Society.

Copies of Arotes on the preparation ofpapers to be communicated to the Royal Society will be sent to communicattors and authors of papers on application to the Executive Secretary.
