Please send all submissions to Dr David Lister, c/o Outlook on Agriculture, IP Publishing Ltd, Coleridge House, 4-5 Coleridge Gardens, London NW6 3QH, UK. Dr Lister may also be contacted by e-mail at outlook@dial.pipex.com or on tel/fax +44 193 484 4163.
Length and presentation of contributions
Articles should be in the region of 4,000 words. Research notes and shorter pieces will also be considered for publication. In addition, papers derived from work done under the EU Research Framework Programme will be readily considered. Submissions should be double-spaced, printed on one side of the paper, and sent in triplicate. Authors should supply a floppy disk, specifying the software used, and taking care that the disk version is exactly the same as the hard copy supplied.
The text should be ordered under appropriate sub-headings (not numbered paragraphs or sections) and where possible these should not be more than 800 words apart. Three levels of sub-heading are possible.
The title page should show the names and addresses of the authors, their professional status and affiliation and the address (including e-mail) to which correspondence should be sent. As this page will not be sent to referees, the title of the article (without author names) should be repeated on the first text page.
An abstract should be provided, comprising 80-100 words.
Between 3 and 6 keywords should appear below the abstract, highlighting the main topics of the paper. References should follow the Harvard system. That is, they should be shown within the text as the author's surname (or authors' surnames) followed by a comma and the year of publication, all in round brackets: for example, (Smith, 1998). At the end of the article a bibliographical list should be supplied, organized alphabetically by author (surnames followed by initials - all authors should be named). Bibliographic information should be given in the order indicated by the following examples:
- Articles: Maskey, R. (2001), 'Population growth and food production: issues, problems and prospects', Outlook on Agriculture, Vol 30, No 3, pp 155?60.
- Books: Henry, J.G., and Heinke, G.W., eds (1989), Environmental Science and Engineering, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Notes should be numbered consecutively in the text and typed in plain text at the end of the paper (not as footnotes on text pages).
Tables should be reduced to the simplest form and present only essential data. They should be submitted on separate sheets at the end of the article. The use of vertical rules in tables should be avoided.
For illustrations, line drawings and black and white photographs are acceptable. Authors are asked to supply originals of line drawings for reproduction. Photographs should be glossy prints with good contrast.
Refereeing
Other than research notes, reports, and personal opinion pieces, articles will be refereed. Papers by authors who are not academics (eg submissions from industry) will also be subject to review before acceptance, but their distinct nature and aims will be fully taken into account.
Copyright
Unless otherwise indicated, submissions are received on the understanding that they are original contributions,, and have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The editor reserves the right to edit or otherwise alter contributions, but authors will see proofs before publication. Authors will be asked to assign copyright, where possible, to IP Publishing Ltd. Relevant authors' rights are protected.
