Guidelines for Contributors:

Normal literary and typographical conventions will apply to all contributions. Prospective authors should ensure that their typescripts are in principle ready to go to press.

Any material submitted for inclusion in The Great Circle should be typed (near letter quality is essential), in double spacing, on an international A4-size paper, with a wide margin. Articles should not contain corrections and insertions. The maximum length of articles is normally 8,000 words, but longer articles may be accepted for publication in two parts. Major articles may conveniently be divided in sub-sections; these may be headed by Roman numerals and/or sub-titles. Contributors should send two copies of their articles. In addition, if at all possible, please send a copy of the article on disk (3.5 inch) or as an email attachment. The preferred format is Macintosh Microsoft Word 98 or IBM Word 97, in addition please include a second copy saved as RTF-please include full details of the program/s used.

Footnotes must be numbered consecutively throughout the article and presented, in traditional style only, preferably at the foot of each page. In footnotes, titles of books and journals should be underlined or typed in italics. Second and further references to work already cited should be made in the form of an easily recognizable abbreviation of the first complete reference. No underlining or italics should be used for reference to manuscript material or unpublished works.
Quotations should be presented within double quotes ".....". Foreign words and names of ships should be underlined or typed in italics.
Tables, graphs, maps, photographs, and other illustration material may be provided. The size of the printed page must be borne in mind, and all material should be readily reproduceable.


Authors are requested to state in writing, when forwarding articles, that, where necessary, they have permission to use copyright material and to reproduce illustrations.


Authors of articles are entitled to receive 5 copies of their article; should they desire more copies, they must inform the Editor prior to the article going to press. These additional copies are available at cost price.
