Submission

Manuscripts may be submitted in a variety of formats. Further information is available in the Submissions guidelines. Submissions should be made to editor@hennapage.com, with the manuscript either included as an attachment or sent simultaneously by anonymous ftp to ftp://ftp.spellstone.com/incoming. Receipt of an electronic submission will be acknowledged by email.

Copies of the manuscript should not be sent by conventional mail. Illustrations for electronic submission must be received in high-quality form before editorial processing can begin. The figures may be sent electronically (preferred) or by (insured) overnight mail. The Henna Page can accept no responsibility for the loss of material in the post.

Authors should indicate (preferably on initial submittal) if they want illustrations / photographs returned. Every effort will be made to return hardcopy figures to aurthors, but it is strongly recommended that a second copy of all material sent in a non-digital format be kept by the author.

A signed HPJ copyright-transfer form (available as HTML or PDF) should be posted at the same time as the submission, and will be required before publication. While the transfer of copyright takes effect only upon acceptance of the paper for publication, supplying the form initially can prevent unnecessary delays.

Papers should be written in English, in a style consistent with that of the journal. The total length of a Letter should not exceed 4 journal pages (2000 words); a Comment, 1 page (500 words).

Prior disclosure

Submission is a representation that the work is not now being considered for publication elsewhere. Proper text reference must be made to portions previously published or scheduled for publication, including conference proceedings.

Notice of acceptance; proofs

Authors are notified by electronic mail of the editorial acceptance of their article. When a revised manuscript is received after that, corrections are made by our production team to the file already in existence. If the revisions are not separately and explicitly described, the author may be requested by the editorial office to provide such a description. Authors are given the opportunity to examine proofs via the Web.
