Please see Sec. for important submittal procedures.
Compuscripts should be transmitted (1) via electronic mail or (2) on a DOS-formatted floppy disk. The floppy should be labeled to indicate the name of the author, the name of the file on the disk, and the return address of the submitting author.
The electronic submission may be as a single large file (preferred), e.g., BB1010, or as a series of separately named files, e.g., BB1010, BB1010caps, BB1010tabs. The code number of the compuscript does not have to be used as the file name or names; smithpaper, smithcaps, smithfigs, etc., will suffice.
Upon receipt of the file(s) by the editorial office, the contents will be concatenated and assigned the appropriate code number. The compuscript file will then be evaluated for various potential problems and compliance with the input instructions. The author may be advised of technical problems, and asked to submit a proper file.
All e-mail receipts will be acknowledged. For the initial submission of a compuscript, a confirmation copy of the output generated at the Editorial Offices is sent to the author via conventional mail.
