About the journal
Annals of Science was launched in 1936 as an independent review dealing with the development of science since the Renaissance. Now established as the leading scholarly journal in the field, its scope has widened to cover developments since classical antiquity, and to include articles in French and German. Contributions from Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, the USA and Russia bear testimony to its international appeal. Each issue includes a comprehensive book reviews section and essay reviews on a group of books on a broader level. The editor is supported by an active international board. The original index has been extended to cover the period 1970 to 1986, and is available from the publisher. A unique feature of the journal is the reproduction of selected illustrations in color.

About Taylor & Francis
The foundations of Taylor & Francis were laid in pioneering fashion in 1798. Richard Taylor printed and launched the Philosophical Magazine, one of the first scientific journals published by an independent company.
It was the start of a close collaboration with scholarly societies which was cultivated throughout the 1880s. The company became the printer for the Royal Astronomical Society, the Geological Society, the Zoological Society, the Horticultural Society, the Royal Botanical Society, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Society and the Linnean Society of London. With the proliferation of periodicals and information generated by learned societies at the turn of the century, Taylor & Francis also became pioneers in the field of abstracting journals, and in 1890 the company became the first printer of Science Abstracts the precursor of today's Physics Abstracts.
Book publishing was a mostly secondary concern for the company until the 1960s, when significant expansion was implemented at all levels from schoolbooks to high level monographs. Since then the focus of book publishing has been predominantly at the undergraduate level and above, with an ever larger number of subject areas brought into the programme.
The principles which drove the founders of Taylor & Francis are still paramount today. Academic scholarship must be of the highest quality which will be reflected in appropriate production practices and values. We hope that we remain true to those principles and that being a Taylor and Francis author is still a pleasant, profitable and proud experience.

Notes on style
All authors are asked to take account of the diverse audience of Annals of Science. Clearly explain -- or avoid the use of -- terms that might be meaningful only to a local or national audience. However, note also that Annals of Science does not aspire to be international in the ways that McDonald抯 restaurants or Hilton Hotels are international; we much prefer papers that, where appropriate, reflect the particularities of each social and cultural system.
Some specific points of style for the text of articles, research reports, case studies, reports, essay reviews, and reviews follow:
1. We prefer US to 慉merican? USA to 慤nited States? and UK to 慤nited Kingdom?
2. We use conservative (British, not US, spelling, i.e. colour not color; behaviour (behavioural) not behavior; [school] programme not program; [he] practises not practices; centre not center; organization not organisation; analyse not analyze, etc.
3. Single 憅uotes?are used for quotations rather than double "quotes", unless the 憅uote is "within" another quote?
4. Punctuation should follow the British style, e.g. 憅uotes precede punctuation?
5. Punctuation of common abbreviations should follow the following conventions: e.g. i.e. cf. Note that such abbreviations are not followed by a comma or a (double) point/period.
6. Dashes: the M-dash should be clearly indicated in manuscripts by way of either a clear dash (? or a triple hyphen (---), N-dash should be indicated by a clear dash (? or a double hyphen (--).
7. We are sparing in our use of the upper case in headings and references, e.g. only the first word in paper titles and all subheads is in upper case; titles of papers from journals in the references and other places are not in upper case.
8. Apostrophes should be used sparingly. Thus, decades should be referred to as follows: 慣he 1980s [not the 1980抯] saw ...? Possessives associated with acronyms (e.g. PA), should be written as follows: 慣he APU抯 findings that ...? but, NB, the plural is APUs.
9. All acronyms for national agencies, examinations, etc., should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in text or references. Thereafter the acronym can be used if appropriate, e.g. 慣he work of the Assessment of Performance Unit (APU) in the early 1980s ...? Subsequently, 慣he APU studies of achievement ...? in a reference ... (Department of Education and Science [DES] 1989a).
10. Brief biographical details of significant national figures should be outlined in the text unless it is quite clear that the person concerned would be known internationally. Some suggested editorial emendations to a 憈ypical?text are indicated in the following with square brackets: 慒rom the time of H. E. Armstrong [in the 19th century] to the curriculum development work associated with the Nuffield Foundation [in the 1960s], there has been a shift from heurism to constructivism in the design of [British] science courses?
11. The preferred local (national) usage for ethnic and other minorities should be used in all papers. For the USA, 慉frican-American? 慔ispanic?and 慛ative American?are used, e.g. 慣he African American presidential candidate, Jesse Jackson...? for the UK, 慉fro-Caribbean?(not 慦est Indian?, etc.
12. Material to be emphasized (italicized in the printed version) should be underlined in the typescript rather than italicized. Please use such emphasis sparingly.
13. When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark authors?must use the symbol ?or TM or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the wording below:
This article includes a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark. Its inclusion does not imply it has acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgement implied concerning its legal status.
Notes on tables and figures
Artwork submitted for publication will be returned after publication, unless you request otherwise. Whilst every care is taken of artwork, neither the Editor nor Taylor & Francis shall bear any responsibility or liability for non-return, loss, or damage of artwork, nor for any associated costs or compensation. You are strongly advised to insure appropriately.
1. Tables and figures should be valuable, relevant, and visually attractive. Tables and figures must be referred to in the text and numbered in order of their appearance. Each table and figure should have a complete, descriptive title; and each table column an appropriate
heading.
Tables and figures should be referred to in text as follows: figure 1, table 1, i.e. lower case. 慉s seen in table [or figure] 1 ...?(not Tab., fig. or Fig).
2. The place at which a table or figure is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on a manuscript:
[Insert table 2 about here ]
3. Each table and/or figure must have a title that explains its purpose without reference to the text.
4. All figures and tables must be on separate sheets and not embedded in the text. Original copies of figures should be supplied. All figures should allow for reduction to page width (127mm). Please avoid figures that would require landscape reproduction, i.e., reading from bottom to top of the page. Photographs may be sent as glossy prints or negatives.
Please number each figure on the reverse in pencil.
Do not type the caption to a figure on that figure; the legends to any illustrations must be typed separately following the main text and should be grouped together.
Mathematics
Special care should be taken with mathematical scripts, especially subscripts and superscripts and differentiation between the letter 'ell' and the figure one, and the letter 'oh 'and the figure zero. If your keyboard does not have the characters you need, it is preferable to use longhand, in which case it is important to differentiate between capital and small letters, K, k and x and other similar groups of letters. Special symbols should be highlighted in the text and explained in the margin. In some cases it is helpful to supply annotated lists of symbols for the guidance of the sub-editor and the typesetter, and/or a 慛omenclature?section preceding the 慖ntroduction?
For simple fractions in the text, the solidus / should be used instead of a horizontal line, care being taken to insert parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity, for example, I /(n-1). Exceptions are the proper fractions available as single type on a keyboard.
Full formulae or equations should be displayed, that is, written on a separate line. Horizontal lines are preferable to solidi.
The solidus is not generally used for units: ms - 1 not m/s, but note electrons/s, counts/channel, etc.
Displayed equations referred to in the text should be numbered serially (1, 2, etc.) on the right hand side of the page. Short expressions not referred to by any number will usually be incorporated in the text.
Symbols should not be underlined to indicate fonts except for tensors, vectors and matrices, which are indicated with a wavy line in the manuscript (not with a straight arrow or arrow above) and rendered in heavy type in print: upright sans serif r (tensor), sloping serif r (vector) upright serif r (matrix).
Typographical requirements must be clearly indicated at their first occurrence, e.g. Greek, Roman, script, sans serif, bold, italic. Authors will be charged for corrections at proof stage resulting from a failure to do so.
Braces, brackets and parentheses are used in the order {[( )]}, except where mathematical convention dictates otherwise (i.e. square brackets for commutators and anticommutators)
Acknowledgements
Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript. Please do not incorporate these into the bionote or notes.
Book reviews
1. The following header material should appear in all reviews in the following order (note also the punctuation):

2. Page references within reviews should be given as follows: (p. 337) or (pp. 36-37).
Essay Reviews
References to the book being reviewed are included at the top of the first page of the essay review using the following conventions, i.e. for an essay review entitled, 慚aking Sense of Qualitative Data: Complementary Strategies?the reference should read:

The reviewer(s) name and address should be included at the end of the review.
Footnotes and references
Authors should be guided by the MHRA Style Book.
Footnotes are to be numbered consecutively, with superscript numerals placed outside the punctuation, thus:..... Newton agreed. 27
Complete page references for a paper should always be given, and then the specific page if necessary. Titles of journals should not be abbreviated.
Cross references in notes to works already cited, or to points made in previous notes or their text, should be made by note number, for example: 慗. Smith (note 11), 223? or 慳s indicated in note 14....? Cross-references in the text should be to section or sub-section numbers.

Electronic Processing
We strongly encourage you to send us the final, revised version of your article in both hard (paper) and electronic (disk) forms. This Guide sets out the procedures which will assure we can process your article efficiently. It is divided into three sections:
- a guide for authors using standard word-processing software packages
- a guide for authors using LaTeX mathematical software packages
- a guide for authors using graphics software packages
There are some general rules which apply to all three options.
- these guides do not apply to authors who are submitting an article for consideration and peer review; they apply only to authors whose articles have been reviewed, revised, and accepted for publication
- print out your hard (paper) copy from the disk you are sending; it is essential that the hard-copy printout is identical to the material on the disk; where versions differ, the hard copy will take precedence. We advise that you maintain back-ups of your files
- save and send your files on a standard 3.5 inch high density disk (Mac or PC); please do not attempt to send the article via file transfer protocol or email
- when saving your article onto a disk, please make sure that the files do not exceed a manageable size. Please ensure that figures are saved on a separate disk
- ensure that the files are not saved as read only
- virus-check your disk before sending it to the Editor
- label your disk
- package disks in such a way as to avoid damage in the post
- disks are not returnable after publication
1. A guide for authors using standard word-processing software packages
For the main text of your article, most standard PC or Mac word-processing software packages are acceptable, although we prefer Microsoft Word in a PC format.
Word-processed files should be prepared according to the journal style.
Avoid the use of embedded footnotes. For numbered tables, use the table function provided with the word-processing package.
All text should be saved in one file with the complete text (including the title page, abstract, all sections of the body of the paper, references), followed by numbered tables and the figure captions.
You should send the following to the Editor:
- a 3.5-inch disk containing the final, accepted version of the paper
- include an ASCII/text only version on the disk as well as the word processed version if possible
- two hard copy printouts
Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:
1. Journal title
2. Name of author
3. File names contained on disk
4. Hardware used (PC or Mac)
5. Software used (name and version)
Sample disk label: text
| Journal title |
| A.N. Author |
| article.doc |
| IBM PC |
| MS Word for Windows 7.0 |
2. A guide for authors using LaTeX mathematical software packages
Authors who wish to prepare their articles using the LaTeX document preparation system are advised to use article.sty (for LaTex 2.09) or article.cls (for LaTex2e).
The use of macros should be kept to an absolute minimum but if any are used they should be gathered together in the file, just before the \begin{document} command
You should send the following to the Editor:
- a 3.5-inch disk containing the final, accepted version of the paper
- the files you send must be text-only (often called an ASCII file), with no system-dependent control codes
- two hard copy printouts
Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:
1. Journal title
2. Name of author
3. File names contained on disk
4. Hardware used (PC or Mac)
5. Software used (name and version)
Sample disk label: LaTeX
| Journal title |
| A.N. Author |
| article.tex
article.sty |
| IBM PC |
| PCLaTeX v2.09 |
3. A guide for authors using graphics software packages
We welcome figures on disk, but care and attention to these guidelines is essential, as importing graphics packages can often be problematic.
- Figures must be saved on a separate disk from the text.
- Avoid the use of colour and tints for aesthetic reasons. Figures should be produced as near to the finished size as possible.
- High quality reproducible hard copy for all line figures (printed out from your electronic files at a minimum of 600 dpi) must be supplied in case the disks are unusable; photographs and transparencies can be accepted as hard copy only. Photocopies will not be accepted.
- All figures must be numbered in the order in which they occur (e.g. figure 1, figure 2 etc.). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1 (a), figure 1 (b) etc.)
- The figure captions must be saved as a separate file with the text and numbered correspondingly.
- The filename for the graphic should be descriptive of the graphic e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
- Files should be saved as TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), containing all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g., CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:
1. Journal title
2. Name of author
3. Figures contained on disk
4. Hardware used (PC or Mac)
5. Software used (name and version)
Sample disk label: figures
| Journal title |
| A.N. Author |
| Figures 1-10 |
| Macintosh |
| Adobe Illustrator 5.5 |
