Guidelines for Submission of Manuscripts to The Henna Page Journal of Henna
(Revised January 2002)

These guidelines are to be used to prepare manuscripts for submission to The Henna Page Journal. It contains paragraph styles to help you prepare your manuscript for submission. Use of this template is a benefit to the author in that the entire manuscript text may be submitted in one file. Use of the template is preferred but is not a requirement for submission.

When you submit a manuscript using this template, you will not actually see the page formatting that appears in the journal. This will occur as part of the editorial production process using the tags you inserted from the template. Please read the general instructions given below on how to use the template. If you are unfamiliar with the use of templates, additional instructions can be found at the site where you downloaded this template.

Using the template
1. If typing your manuscript directly into the template, select (highlight) the text of the template that you want to replace and begin typing your manuscript (e.g. select the Title section for typing in your title).
2. To indicate where images should be positioned within the text, create a new line and insert the file name (digital submission) or picture number (hardcopy submission) for the desired illustration. Please submit high-resolution images, The size of the artwork will be adjusted for use in the Journal during the editorial process.
3. Delete all sections from the template that are not needed, including these instructions.
4. Save the file: select Save As (File menu) and save it as an HTML file (.htm).
5. Consult the Information for contributor's page (http://www.hennapage.com/journal/admin/contributors_info.html) to insure that you have selected for the latest instructions on how to proceed with the submission of your manuscript.

TITLE. The title should accurately, clearly, and concisely reflect the emphasis and content of the paper. The title must be brief and grammatically correct.

AUTHOR NAMES. Include in the byline all those who have made substantial contributions to the work, even if the paper was actually written by only one person. Use first names, initials, and surnames (e.g., John R. Smith) or first initials, second names, and surnames (e.g., J. Robert Smith). Do not use only initials with surnames (e.g., J. R. Smith) because this causes indexing and retrieval difficulties and interferes with unique identification of an author. Do not include professional or official titles or academic degrees. At least one author must be designated with an asterisk as the author to whom correspondence should be addressed.

AUTHOR EMAIL ADDRESS

DATE

KEYWORDS. Provide significant keywords to aid the Journal in indexing and archiving your work.

MANUSCRIPT TEXT (Main Text). For full guidelines, please see the Instructions for Authors.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT Generally the last paragraph of the paper is the place to acknowledge people, organizations, and financing. Avoid use of phrases like "we (I or the authors) would like to thank" and "we (I or the authors) wish to thank"; instead use "we (I or the authors) thank".

FIGURE CAPTIONS. Each figure must have a caption that includes the figure number and a brief description of the image, preferably one or two sentences. The caption should immediately follow the file name ("Figure X. Figure caption.") in the main body of your text. All pictures must be mentioned in the text consecutively and numbered with Arabic numerals. The caption should be understandable without reference to the text.

If figures are to be submitted electronically, the precise use of the following format will assist the editorial production process. Start a blank line with "filename:", immediately followed by the filename of the figure. Start the next line with "caption:", immediately followed by the caption text. For example:

filename:figure1.jpg
caption:Figure 1. All about this figure

REFERENCES. In this journal, references are placed at the end of the article. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all references. Authors should check all parts of each reference listing against the original document.
