The author should retain an additional copy for reference. Unless a specific request is made, copies will not be returned. Please do not submit your manuscript to other journals while it is being considered by Minds and Machines.
Reviewing Procedure
If you are requesting blind refereeing, the author's name and address should be given on a separate sheet. Authors are therefore requested to place their name and affiliation on a separate page. Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should either be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are first submitted. Authors are responsible for reinserting self-identifying citations and references when manuscripts are prepared for final submission.
Otherwise put your name, institution affiliation and full address at the beginning of the article after the title.
Manuscript Presentation
The journal's language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be printed or typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving 1-inch (2.54 cm) margins on all sides to allow reviewers' remarks.
Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
- running head (shortened title)
- article type
- title
- author(s)
- affiliation(s)
- full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of not more than 200 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Key words
Please provide 5 to 10 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order. Key words will be used for indexing purposes.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be explained at first occurrence.
Article Types
The journal publishes general articles, critical exchanges, discussion exchanges, discussions, exchange reviews, and special symposia, as well as special issues devoted to specific topics.
Symbols and Units
All scientific or technical data included in the text should be stated in the metric and other absolute (c.g.s.) systems. The use of English or other regional systems of units should be avoided.
Figures and TablesSubmission of electronic figures
In addition to hard-copy printouts of figures, authors are encouraged to supply the electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used and the hard copy will be scanned instead.
Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g., `figure1.eps'. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman and Helvetica. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format but EPS is also acceptable. The following resolutions are optimal: black-and-white line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi; line figures with some grey or coloured lines - 600 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is. Higher resolutions will not improve output quality but will only increase file size, which may cause problems with printing; lower resolutions may compromise output quality. Please try to provide artwork that approximately fits within the typeset area of the journal. Especially screened originals, i.e. originals with grey areas, may suffer badly from reduction by more than 10-15%. AVOIDING PROBLEMS WITH EPS GRAPHICS
Please always check whether the figures print correctly to a PostScript printer in a reasonable amount of time. If they do not, simplify your figures or use a different graphics program.
If EPS export does not produce acceptable output, try to create an EPS file with the printer driver (see below). This option is unavailable with the Microsoft driver for Windows NT, so if you run Windows NT, get the Adobe driver from the Adobe site (www.adobe.com).
If EPS export is not an option, e.g., because you rely on OLE and cannot create separate files for your graphics, it may help us if you simply provide a PostScript dump of the entire document. HOW TO SET UP FOR EPS AND POSTSCRIPT DUMPS UNDER WINDOWS
Create a printer entry specifically for this purpose: install the printer `Apple Laserwriter Plus' and specify `FILE': as printer port. Each time you send something to the `printer' you will be asked for a filename. This file will be the EPS file or PostScript dump that we can use.
The EPS export option can be found under the PostScript tab. EPS export should be used only for single-page documents. For printing a document of several pages, select `Optimise for portability' instead. The option `Download header with each job' should be checked. Submission of hard-copy figures
If no electronic versions of figures are available, submit only high-quality artwork that can be reproduced as is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re-typeset. Horizontal rules should be indicated, vertical rules should not be used. The letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction.
Photographs should be in black-and-white on glossy paper. If a figure contains colour, make absolutely clear whether it should be printed in black-and-white or in colour. Figures that are to be printed in black-and-white should not be submitted in colour. Authors will be charged for reproducing figures in colour - black-and-white reproduction occurs at no extra cost.
Each figure and table should be numbered (roman) and mentioned in the text but placed separately at the end of the manuscript - one table or figure per page. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (first) author and the figure number should be written in pencil; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated.
Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. The figure legends should be grouped and placed on a separate page. Figures are not returned to the author unless specifically requested.
In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.
Section Headings
Section headings should be numbered (e.g., 1., 1.1, 1.1.1, 2., 2.1, etc.) according to the following examples: 1. Exciting heading
1.1. ANOTHER EXCITING HEADING
1.3.1. These Headings Are Exciting
1.3.1.4. Truly exciting headings everywhere.
Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections. Appendices are not numbered.
Notes
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should appear as the very first note in the list but identified with an asterisk rather than with a number. The references should also be collected in a list at the end of the article.
Cross-Referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by `et al.'. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like `a' and `b' after the date to distinguish the works. Examples:
Winograd (1986, p. 204)
(Winograd, 1986a, b)
(Winograd, 1986; Flores et al., 1988)
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.
References
References to books, journal articles, articles in collections and conference or workshop proceedings, and technical reports should be listed at the end of the article in alphabetical and chronological order (see examples below). Articles in preparation or submitted for publication, unpublished observations, personal communications, etc. should not be included in the reference list but should only be mentioned in the article text (e.g., T. Moore, personal communication).
References to articles in periodicals should include the author's name; year of publication; article title; full title of periodical; volume number (issue number where appropriate); and first and last page numbers, in the order given in the example below:
Nilsson, N. (1983), `Artificial Intelligence Prepares for 2001', AI Magazine 4, pp.7-14.
References to articles in an edited collection should include the author's name; year of publication; article title; editor's name; title of collection; first and last page numbers; publisher; and place of publication, in the order given in the example below: Rankin, T. (1988), `When is "Reasoning Nonmonotonic?" in J. Fetzer, ed., Aspects of Artificial Intelligence, Dordrecht, The Netherlands: Kluwer Academic Publishers, pp. 289-308.
References to books should include the author's name; year of publication; title; page numbers where appropriate; publisher; and place of publication, in the order given in the example below.
Quine, W.V.O. (1951), Mathematical Logic, New York: Harper and Row.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. One corrected proof, together with the original, edited manuscript, should be returned to the Publisher within three days of receipt by mail (airmail overseas).
Offprints
Twenty-five (25) offprints of each article will be provided free of charge. Additional offprints can be ordered by means of an offprint order form supplied with the proofs.
Page Charges and Colour Figures
No page charges are levied on authors or their institutions. Colour figures are published at the author's expense only.
Copyright
Authors will be asked, upon acceptance of an article, to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. This will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Permissions
It is the responsibility of the author to obtain written permission for a quotation from unpublished material, or for all quotations in excess of 250 words in one extract or 500 words in total from any work still in copyright, and for the reprinting of figures, tables or poems from unpublished or copyrighted material.
