Instructions to Authors
1. GENERAL
Notes and Records is a journal appearing in January, May and September, publishing original papers on the history of the Royal Society and its fellowship, and of the science, medicine and technology associated with them, as well as invited book reviews. The Editor welcomes contributions on these subjects from scientists and historians.
Submitted papers must be the author锟斤拷s own and original work, and must not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The main findings of the paper should not have been reported in the mass media. Like many journals Notes and Records employs a strict embargo policy where the reporting of a scientific paper by the media is embargoed until a specific time. Submission of a paper by an author is taken as acceptance that the Editor锟斤拷s decision on the suitability of the paper for publication is final.
Contributions should not normally exceed 5000 words and may be shorter. Relevant illustrations are strongly encouraged. Hand-drawn illustrations are not acceptable unless prepared to the professional standard of a graphic designer. Photographs should be supplied as high-quality prints, with the author锟斤拷s name and figure number on the back. Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission for the journal to publish artwork for which they do not hold copyright.
Papers should be prepared on a computer, with all printouts numbered serially and securely clipped together. Spelling should conform to the preferred spelling of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. Check the printout carefully before submitting to ensure that it is the correct and full version.
2. SUBMISSION
Please send two good quality copies of the printout of your paper (double-spaced, one side of each sheet, with a 3 cm margin top and left) plus a disk with the electronic version of the paper. We can use most word-processing formats although Microsoft Word version 6 or later is preferred.
Figures must be prepared separately from the text, with their position in it clearly indicated. The mailing address is:
Notes and Records Editorial Office
The Royal Society,
6 Carlton House Terrace
London SW1Y 5AG
UK
Where a paper is divided into sections, these should be described by short headings. Short quotations should be enclosed in single quotes; a longer passage should form a separate paragraph indented from the normal margin.
The title of the paper should be brief and informative, followed by the author锟斤拷s name and full address or the place of work. Honours and degrees are not shown, with the exception of FRS, FBA, FREng, etc.
A summary (up to 100 words) should be included under the title. It should be both concise and informative.
3. NOTES SECTION
Notes should be typed separately from the main body of the manuscript. The Notes are printed at the end of each paper in numerical order, reference being made in the text by the use of superscript numbers. Due to formatting constraints, this should not be done using the Endnote function in Microsoft Word.
All publications cited in the text should be referenced in the Notes section. A complete reference should provide the reader with enough information to locate the article or book. Each book reference should contain as many of the following elements as possible.
Author锟斤拷s name
Title of book (italic)
Edition, Chapter or Page Ranges
Editor(s) if applicable
Publisher锟斤拷s details in brackets (Place: Publisher, Year)
References to papers in journals should include the author锟斤拷s name, title of paper, abbreviated title of the journal, volume number, first and last pages, and year of publication (in brackets). Here are some examples:
21 J.P. Muirhead, The origin and progress of the mechanical inventions of James Watt, vol. 2, p. 279 (London: Murray, 1854).

Authors who may be absent from their normal address must either inform the Editorial Office of their intended whereabouts or make alternative arrangements for their proofs to be checked quickly. Authors should avoid significant alterations to their proofs.
At proof stage authors will receive a form quoting prices for extra offprints beyond the 25 they receive free of charge.
