INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

AUTHOR: The instructions listed below will aid in the accuratecorrection of your galley proof at minimum cost. Please follow themcarefully. A list of Common Proofreader's Marks is attached at theend of these instructions.

WHAT TO RETURN. Enclosed are two sets of galley proof and yourmanuscript. After making your corrections, please return to AcademicPress (unless instructed otherwise):

1) The original set of proof and the manuscript. In mostcases the original set has been so marked by the typographer. Allcorrections should be marked on the original proof.

2) The second set of proof is a duplicate and should be markedand retained in your files.

WHAT TO DO.

1) Proofread the galley proof comparing it with the originalmanuscript. The author is completely responsible for the readingand correcting of his material. Academic Press will not furtherproofread the material after it has been returned.

2) Mark corrections clearly in two places

1) In the text line where correction is to be madeinsert a caret, or one of the appropriate marks listed onthe attached page, or just cross out the incorrect material.

2) In the margin of the proof, call attention to thecorrection and indicate what is to be done. Write in themargin the material to be inserted or explain what needs tobe done using proofreader's marks if possible. For longinserts attach a separate sheet. Make sure that long insertsare typed and not handwritten. If necessary, use guide linesto indicate where a correction should be made. However, anyclear method may be used, provided it is logical and consistentDo not cut proof apart for any reason. Please initial theupper corner of each proof as you finish it.

HOW TO CORRECT GALLEY PROOF

3) Do not indicate corrections on the manuscript. It willbe kept in our office for reference purposes only; it will notbe systematically checked by us and will not be sent to the prin-ter again. Any corrections or comment should be written on theoriginal set of proof or on an attached separate sheet or aletter.

4) Answer all queries. Our copy editor indicates queriesin the margins of the manuscript. Some printers repeat thequeries or refer to them on the proof, but we cannot rely onthe printer's indicating all queries. Therefore, please examinethe entire manuscript (but write on the proof only) . If nochange is needed, write "ok as set" on the proof under the query.If you approve of a suggested change, make it, cross out thequestion, and write "yes"; if you disapprove, cross out the entirequery and write "no"; but be sure that the text in the proof ismarked exactly as you want it to appear.

5) Indicate Placement of Figures, Tables, etc. that havenot been inserted in the proper place within the text (mark,for example, in the margin of the proof: "Table X here"). Ifthe printer has already indicated placement, this should bechecked carefully.

6) Supply Short titles for running heads. If the title ofyour contribution or chapter has more than 45 characters, includ-ing spaces, please supply a shorter title at the top of the firstgalley, to be used as a running head on the top of the pages.

mistake in the proof was not in the manuscript, it is a "printer'serror" (mark it "P.E."), and it will be corrected at the printer'sexpense. Changes in proof that differ from your manuscript areauthor's alterations. Alteration costs in excess of 15% of thecomposition costs can be charged against the author's account.

a) Avoid unessential changes, such as insertion or deletion ofwords or punctuation that do not alter the meaning.

b) If you substitute a word or phrase, make the substitution asnearly as possible the same number of letters as the deleted matter

c) When adding new material, put it at the end of a paragraph ifpossible. It is even better to make a separate paragraph of the newmaterial.

d) Transposing words, sentences, or phrases is costly. Transposingentire paragraphs is relatively inexpensive.

e) Avoid changes in structural formulas and other illustrativematerial. Again these costly changes can be charged against theauthor's account.

7) Mark Printer's errors and author's alterations. If a
