Submission Guidelines

Editorial
Board

The Bonefolder in the Directory of Open Access Journals. Includes contents to issues and abstracts for individual articles.

The Book Arts Web

The LOCKSS system preserves the Bonefolder at research libraries worldwide.

Submission Guidelines:

Introduction:

The Bonefolder welcomes submissions of articles for publication. Articles should relate to the fields of bookbinding, book arts, decorative techniques, education, exhibition reviews, tips & tricks, or book reviews. Articles that have not be published elsewhere will be given first consideration.

The language of the Bonefolder is English, though it may be possible to work with authors in the translation of non-English articles.

Because the Bonefolder is published electronically we are able to reach a worldwide audience at minimal cost. Issues will be released as PDF files which can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Deadlines:

Articles are accepted on a rolling basis. However, to be included in the Fall 2009issue, the deadline is August 15.

Submitting your text:

Only completed articles should be submitted to the editorial review board. This includes proof-reading. Please indicate position of graphics in text by placing the filename of the image in brackets, i.e. [AuthorLastname-Image1.tif].

Articles may be included either as plain text in email letters, or as word processor files attached to email letters. Microsoft Word or WordPerfect are the preferred file formats. Formatting should be very basic with italics, bold, and other formatting used sparingly. Font should be either Arial or Times Roman. Images can be included in the JPG or TIF formats. Images should be sized to 1024 x 768 pixels if taken with a digital camera. If scanned or created digitally, save at 400 dpi. Line art should be saved as bitonal, b/w images as 8 bit (256 shades of grey), and color as 24 bit. DO NOT embed images in body of text, but save separately and attach.

Files should be named using the following naming convention.

The article (if not sent in email message body):

• AuthorLastname-ShortTitle.doc
