Instructions to Authors
Studies in Conservation is a peer-reviewed journal, produced by the International Institute for Conservation (IIC) since 1952, and published quarterly by James & James (JXJ). All contributions and related correspondence should be sent to:
IIC, 6 Buckingham Street, London WC2N 6BA, UK; tel: +44 (0)20 7839 5975, fax: +44 (0)20 7976 1564, or send an e-mail to studies@iiconservation.org.
Submission of a contribution is understood to imply that no article containing essentially the same material has been published previously, except in an internal report, a house journal of limited circulation, or in the form of a preliminary note, and that the manuscript is not under editorial consideration or in the process of publication elsewhere. The authors will be requested to sign a non-restrictive copyright clearance form on acceptance of their manuscript.
Where a paper is written by more than one author, a corresponding author must be nominated. All correspondence from IIC will be directed to this author, who will be responsible for liaising with the co-authors.
The following guidelines are provided to help you in the preparation of your manuscript, and to ensure smooth progress through the editorial production process. It is essential that all authors prepare their material in accordance with these notes. Manuscript preparation
It is in the interest of authors to prepare their manuscript carefully so as to avoid unnecessary correspondence and delay in publication. It is a wise precaution to have the manuscript critically read by a colleague, particularly if the paper is not in the author's first language.
The layout of the manuscript should follow the style of Studies in Conservation from Volume 48 (2003) onwards, paying careful attention to the conventions for section headings.
Articles may be submitted in either of the Institute's official languages, English and French. The manuscript should include a summary of the contents, which should be a comprehensive precis of the important points of the paper and must be complete in itself, without references to the text or literature references. Each author should provide a short biography that includes contact details (postal and e-mail addresses). If commercial products are mentioned in the manuscript, the names and addresses, or URLs, of manufacturers or suppliers should be given in a separate list. Where appropriate, it is essential to provide information regarding health and safety issues, together with references to the relevant legislation.
Both the summary and the introduction to the paper should clearly indicate the relevance of the work to the practising conservator/restorer, particularly in the case of scientific research and analysis. Scientific and technical terms should be explained, and the work presented in a manner that is accessible to the non-specialist. Any appendices, acknowledgements and materials sections should immediately precede the references.
As far as possible, experimental details should be confined to an appendix. House style
Please write clearly, bearing in mind that the audience for the article will not be as familiar with the subject as the author(s). Ensure that the text is accessible to the appropriate level of readership. Jargon should be kept to a minimum and should be explained thoroughly on first use. Spelling
Articles in English are accepted that use either UK or American spelling and usage, but these should not be mixed in a single article. For UK English, authors should refer to the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary if in doubt; for American English use Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary.
Capitalization
Keep to a minimum. Do not use capitals for words like 'curator' or 'conservator'. Use lower case for generic references ('European galleries'); capitals for specifics ('the Guggenheim Museum' or 'the University of York'). Italicization and emphasis
Italics are no longer used for common foreign or Latin words or phrases (pentimenti, passepartout, et al., inter alia, etc.), but may be used for more obscure references. Italics should be used for the titles of books, journals, paintings, etc. The use of bold type or underlining to emphasize words or phrases should be used sparingly. Punctuation
Except in the literature references, do not use a comma before the penultimate entry in a list, e.g., 'silk, wool and nylon'. Use single quotes to denote speech; only use double quotes when speech is being reported within an extant set of quotation marks. Avoid using inverted commas for unfamiliar words - it is usually unnecessary after the first use. Acronyms and abbreviations
Acronyms and abbreviations must be spelled out in full the first time that they are used, e.g., 'Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI)' or 'Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)'. Thereafter, the acronym only can be given. Headings
Headings are not numbered. Two levels of heading are used: main headings and sub-headings. Indicate clearly in the text which level of heading is appropriate, either by including the heading level in brackets after the heading, or by using a letter in brackets in front of the heading; e.g., Experimental [heading]
Cleaning solutions [sub-heading]
or
[a]Experimental
[b]Cleaning solutions
Lists
Try to avoid too many bullet points or numbered lists. Lists with long entries are often better subdivided using sub-headings. Only use numbered lists where there is a clear hierarchy in the list entries, or if the preceding statement warrants it; e.g. 'There are four methods of treatment?. Insert one hard return before and after the list (i.e., one line space above and below). Figures
No distinction is drawn between figures, plates and diagrams. All are referred to as Figures and each should have a caption that describes their contents without unnecessarily repeating material contained in the text. Do not include the Figure caption, source or note(s) in the illustration. Figures are numbered sequentially with an Arabic numeral in the order they are referred to in the text. Sub-images are labelled with a lower case letter, e.g., Figure 1a. Captions should be listed at the end of the article.
As graphs and line diagrams will be printed in black and white, lines that need to be distinguished from each other should be broken or dashed rather than drawn with shades of grey. Colour should not be used in graphs or line diagrams. The output from scientific instruments (charts and spectra) may not be suitable for use, and the authors should consider redrawing or reprinting to make them legible. Patterns rather than colours or shades of grey should be used to differentiate sections. Line diagrams and graphs can be supplied either as digital images with a resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi) or more when printed at a column width of 70 mm or double column width of 150 mm, or as high-quality 'camera-ready' black and white hard copy, for example using a laser printer with a resolution of at least 600 dpi or clearly drawn in black ink on high-quality white paper.
Photographs, which should be clear and well-focused, must be supplied either as digital images with a resolution of 300 dpi or more when printed at a column width of 70 mm or double column width of 150 mm, as high-quality glossy photographic prints, colour transparencies or 35 mm slides (diapositives). Electronic images should normally be in TIF or JPEG format.
If numerals or lettering appear on diagrams, graphs or photographs, authors should bear in mind the degree of reduction of their artwork on the printed page and ensure that it will still be legible. (It is suggested that you reduce the Figures on a photocopier to check that they are legible at a width of 70 mm.) Figures in which colour is essential should be indicated by the author and may be published in colour at the discretion of IIC. More extensive colour illustrations are possible if the author is able to obtain funding to cover production costs.
Electronic images should not be embedded in the text; each should be supplied as a separate electronic file on floppy disk or CD, and a hard copy (marked with the appropriate Figure number) included with the manuscript. Tables
Tables are numbered sequentially with an Arabic numeral in the order they are referred to in the text. Each table has a title that describes its contents briefly.
Tables should be formatted so they fit across a column of width 70 mm or double column width of 150 mm. Tables should be kept simple; remember that there will be no vertical lines in the Table when printed. Avoid putting too much information in a single table, or sub-dividing rows and columns. Use abbreviations where appropriate and give the meanings in the Table notes. Notes on entries should be placed at the foot of the Table and indicated by a superscript letter in the Table. A key to any symbols and/or abbreviations must be provided in the notes to the Table.
Do not embed the Tables in the text; please supply them on separate sheets and as separate electronic files. Table titles should also be listed at the end of the article. Numbers and measurements
In the general text, numbers over nine should be given as numerals, but numbers less than 10 should be given in words, i.e. two, seven, etc., except when they refer to a measurement, e.g., 'the samples were 7 cm long'. When referring to a century, it should be expressed in full, for example 'the twentieth century' rather than 'the 20th century'. Decades can be referred to using numerals, i.e., the '1870s'; note, no apostrophe is inserted between the '0' and 's'. Do not use commas in numbers, i.e., '55000' not '55,000'. Units
SI (Syst鑝e International) units should be used for all numerical data; other measurements, such as imperial, must be converted to the appropriate metric or SI unit [see www.bipm.fr]. The unit should be separated from the quantity by a space, i.e., '64 kg, 3.1 m穝-1 (not m/s), 2.72 m穔g穝-2, 3 x 4 mm'. Do not use abbreviations for non-SI units such as hours, days, etc., or when a unit is mentioned in the text, e.g., 'the length was measured to the nearest millimetre'.
Use IUPAC (International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry) nomenclature, where appropriate, for identifying chemical compounds [www.iupac.org/nomenclature]. The appropriate IUPAC nomenclature must be given at the first mention of trivial or abbreviated chemical names and in the summary; for example 'methylbenzene (toluene) was used to ?. Similarly, internationally approved methods and descriptors will be expected for other properties, e.g., for colour, CIE (Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage) systems. Footnotes and endnotes
Endnotes are not used. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum; consider whether the material in a footnote could be omitted or incorporated into the main body of the text. Indicate footnotes with consecutive superscript Arabic numbers in the text, and include the text at the end of the article. The superscript note number in the main text should be placed after punctuation, for example: '?is an entirely different field of research.1'
Do not use the footnote or endnote commands in word processing packages. References
Literature references should be numbered consecutively in square brackets in the text and appear in numbered order in the references section at the end of the paper. The list of references should include only those publications that are cited or referred to in the text. Do not abbreviate journal titles. Do not use the reference, footnote or endnote commands in word processing packages. A brief guide to acceptable forms of reference is given below. Books
