We are pleased to inform you that your article has been accepted for publication in the journal noted above; to be available in print and electronic versions.

Please note the following:

1. PUBLICATION: Your article is currently scheduled to appear in

VOLUME: ISSUE:

2. TYPESETTING: Your article will be sent to the Print Journal Production Department of The Haworth Press, Inc. They will typeset your article (from the required computer disk) exactly as submitted. In order to efficiently typeset the print version and to quickly produce a preliminary (before proofreading) electronic version, we require that all manuscripts be submitted conversion-ready. This means that the article on your computer disk must be clearly written with no errors of spelling, grammar, or punctuation. Also, inconsistencies must be avoided. Please refer to the Instructions for Authors for further submission requirements. Please note that you will not be receiving galley proofs. The production staff will proofread the galleys, for typesetting errors, against the final version of the manuscript as submitted. (NOTE: Revisions to the galleys are not allowed.) The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out.

3. PREPARATION OF TABLES, FIGURES, AND ILLUSTRATIONS: Any material that is not textual is considered artwork. This includes tables, figures, diagrams, charts, graphs, illustrations, appendices, screen captures, and photos. Tables and figures (including legend, notes, and source) should be no larger than 4 ½ x 6 ½ inches. Type style should be Helvetica (or Helvetica Narrow if necessary) and no smaller than 8 point. We request that computer-generated figures be in black and white and/or shades of gray (preferably no color, for it does not reproduce well). Camera-ready art must contain no grammatical, typographical, or format errors and must reproduce sharply and clearly in the dimensions of the final printed page (4 ½ x 6 ½ inches). Photos and screen captures must be on disk as a TIFF file, or other graphic file format such as JPEG or BMP. For rapid publication we must receive black-and-white glossy or matte positives (white background with black images and/or wording) in addition to files on disk. Tables should be created in the text document file using the software’s Table feature.

4. SUBMITTING ART: Both a printed hard copy and a disk copy of the art must be provided. We request that each piece of art be sent in its own file, on a disk separate from the disk containing the manuscript text file(s), and be clearly labeled. We reserve the right to (if necessary) request new art, alter art, or if all else has failed in achieving art that is presentable, delete art. If submitted art cannot be used, the Publisher reserves the right to redo the art and to charge the author a fee of $35.00 per hour for this service. The Haworth Press, Inc. is not responsible for errors incurred in the preparation of new artwork. Camera-ready artwork must be prepared on separate sheets of paper. Always use black ink and professional drawing instruments. On the back of these items, write your article title and the journal title lightly in soft-lead pencil (please do not write on the face of art). In the text file, skip extra lines and indicate where these figures are to be placed. Photos are considered part of the acceptable manuscript and remain with the Publisher for use in additional printings.

5. REPRINTS: Shortly after publication you will receive an order form for purchasing quantities of reprints. (About three weeks after publication, the senior author will receive two complimentary copies of the issue as well as complimentary reprints of the article. Junior author(s) will receive two complimentary copies of the issue.) Please note that preparation of reprints takes about eight weeks additional time after the actual issue is printed and in circulation.
