1. Preparing and supplying your filesYour manuscript should be supplied electronically, in word-processed form, preferably using MS Word for PC, or a Word-compatible format. Please supply all final files in an electronic format through WeTransfer or your preferred FTP software.

We are unable to accept manuscripts submitted in PDF or LaTeX formats, or through Dropbox.

The following elements are optional. Please let your Editor know if you would like to include any of these:

Dedication Foreword (written by a third party) Preface (written by the authors) Acknowledgements List of abbreviations and/or Glossary Appendices

1.1 Layout and formatting of text

Any styling of page layouts (e.g. fonts, margins, heading styles) will be removed prior to typesetting. For this reason, authors are encouraged to apply a minimum of styling to their typescript. However, it is important to use a consistent style throughout your text:

For emphasising text use bold or italic (not capitals or underlining) Leave a single-line space between paragraphs so that each paragraph can be easily

identified Avoid running headers and footers (they will be taken out by the typesetters, and

inserted into the proofs in our house style) Avoid the use of automatic text formatting options, such as heading numbering – these

can cause problems when converting text for typesetting.

2

The typescript MUST include the following elements

Title page – including authors’ names and affiliations Table of contents A section about the authors – short biographies ~200-400 words each List of contributors (for multi-contributor books only) Chapter abstracts and keywords Main text (split into chapters and sub-headings; including insertion points for all

figures/tables; including references/bibliography at the end of each chapter Lists of figures and table captions

All referencing must be Harvard style within chapters. Should you wish to use any other referencing style, please consult your Commissioning Editor.

All pages of the manuscript should be numbered consecutively from page 1. All chapters should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript.

1.2 General style points

Headings: Please use a consistent system/hierarchy in which levels of headings are clearly discernible. All headings should be on a separate line and first words of each heading only should be capitalised. Please avoid using automatic heading numbering.

Spelling: We will employ British English spelling (Oxford) throughout, although ‘ise’ endings will be used rather than ‘ize’.

Abbreviations and acronyms: Please spell these out in full when first mentioned in the text followed by the abbreviation or acronym in brackets. Use lower case when spelling out in full except where it is a noun.

Units: For general use in the text please spell out units and abbreviate when preceded by a definite quantity. Ensure you use SI units where applicable. Do not include a full point after abbreviations.

Contractual roles: Take care when capitalising job titles and contractual roles. When referring to an engineer in general, the title does not require a capital letter, whereas if the reference is to the specific role of Engineer as defined in a contract it is usual to capitalise the term. This also applies to: a client/the Client, a contractor/the Contractor etc.

Equations, mathematics, special characters: Simple, single line equations and mathematical formulae can be set directly in Word. Each equation should be on a separate line. An equation editor program should be used for more complex equations, for example MathType.

Please note not all equation editor programs produce editable outputs. Programs such as Mathcad produce results that are not editable and therefore, we are unable to accept them. Please use programs such as MathType or Word when building equations for your work as these produce editable formats. Do not submit equations as image files, they must be in an editable format.

If authors wish to set mathematics to a higher level they should use the following conventions: Scalars in italic Vectors in bold italic Matrices in bold roman Letters attached to scalars which do not themselves have values (e.g. subscripts) should

be roman

All special characters (Greek, mathematical symbols, etc.) should be set using an equation editor, even where single characters appear in the text. If you have problems producing equations or

3

special characters you should identify the required symbol within the document or on a hard copy of print out of the page.Lists: Use bullets for simple lists unless they are hierarchical or need to be referred to in the text, then use (a), (b), (c), etc. before (i), (ii), (iii).

Entries are complete sentences: must start with a capital, include a verb and finish with a full stop.

Entries are words or phrases: start with lower case with full stop at end of last item (unless sentence is continued in the text proper). No semi-colons or commas after entries.

The text before a list should end with a full stop, in which case the list items should be treated as complete sentences (as above), or with no punctuation at all (no colons), in which case the list items should be treated as words or phrases (as above).

1.3 Titles, Abstracts and Keywords

Book Title: Choose your book’s title intelligently. Consider your readers. What key words will they use to search for a book in the subject area? Are these key words up-to-date with current research/practice? Are they long accepted in the field? If so, don’t use a new term as it will make your book less discoverable. There is also evidence to suggest that articles with shorter titles tend to be more cited (see http://www.nature.com/news/papers-with-shorter-titles-get-more-citations-1.18246).

Before deciding on your book’s title, type it into a search engine using double quotes (i.e. “Book Title”). Use the following table as a rough guide to help with your decision:

ResultsFull title in quotes None/very few (this is good!)

Many (this is not good)Search using only distinctive title words None (this is bad)

Very few (this is bad)Moderate (this is good)Many (bad)

How do the other references or titles that show up relate to your field?

Very close/similar (this is good)Sort of similar (ok)Not very similar (bad)Not even close (very bad)

How do the terms, phrases or acronyms that you are using compare to other results?

Very close/similar (this is good)Sort of similar (ok)Not very similar (bad)Not even close (very bad)

Chapter Abstracts: Please provide a short abstract for all chapters of your book including the introduction and the conclusion. Each abstract should 100-200 words in length and provide a clear and concise overview of the chapter’s content. Third person voice should be used, eg. ‘this chapter describes…’. The abstracts will become part of the book’s metadata and improve

4

discoverability of your work through online searches and electronic databases so make sure you include important keywords in your text.Keywords: Please suggest 3-5 keywords (from the list in Appendix A - Keywords) that distinguish the most important concepts and ideas in the book. You can think of them as labels for your chapter. As many search engines only index titles and abstracts, please also incorporate them into the title and abstracts of the chapters.

Index: A professional indexer will be commissioned to prepare the index during the production process. If you have any specific terms that you feel are important to be included in the index, then please indicate this when submitting your manuscript.

2. Illustrations, Tables and Mathematical Notation

All figures and tables will be supplied separately and in electronic format. Please note the general guidance below when submitting figures and tables.

Colour: Unless otherwise agreed with your Commissioning Editor, your book will be printed in black and white and this should be considered when preparing your tables and illustrations.

Numbering: Tables and illustrations should be numbered in two separate series. Please use a consistent system and ideally sub-divide by chapter e.g. Figure 2.1 (for first figure in chapter 2), Table 3.1 (for the first table in chapter 3), etc. All illustrations and tables must be referred to (cited) in the text. Please clearly indicate in the text where each table and illustration should be inserted by using placement text in the form of <<Insert Figure 1.2>>.

Sizing: Consider the size of the printed page of the book when preparing large tables and selecting which illustrations to include – it may not be practical to fit a large table onto a single page, large-format plans or diagrams may become illegible when reduced to fit printed page.

Captions: Provide captions for all tables and illustrations at the end of each chapter or as separate text files indicating the number and content. Captions for tables and illustrations that are not original to the authors must include a reference to the original source (see also Copyright/Permissions). In addition, all illustrations and tables must be referred to (cited) in the text. Please clearly indicate in the text where each table and illustration should be inserted.

2.1 Illustrations

All illustrations – line drawings and halftones – must be supplied separately either as electronic files or as hardcopy. We will not accept illustrations embedded within the text file.

Line drawings

Line drawings are those that contain only lines and text, with some areas of solid colour or tint, e.g. graphs, pie charts, plans, diagrams. EPS format is preferred as this allows for

5

correction/alteration and re-sizing without any loss of quality. TIFF format is a suitable format for figures that are to be re-lettered but may lose quality if it needs to be altered or corrected.

The following should be considered when preparing artwork:

Lettering should be prepared in a consistent font, ideally Frutiger, Arial or Helvetica. Do not use Calibri or Cambria when creating figures, use common fonts like Times New

Roman, Arial, or Helvetica. Although Calibri is the default font for a number of Microsoft programs, it should not be used for figures that are to be printed. Along with Cambria, these fonts are screen/monitor fonts and are unsuitable and unstable for professional printing.

Type size should be consistent, and allow for reduction/enlargement of the figure. Spelling, punctuation etc. must be accurate and consistent (with other illustrations and

the text). Multi-part figures should be supplied as separate files. Do not use tints of less than 20% or more than 80%. Use a consistent and obvious file naming system. Don’t supply figures in AutoCAD and CorelDraw file formats. Figures can be sent to us in Microsoft Office format provided that these are drawn in

Word, Excel etc and remain editable. If the figure is to be redrawn, we can accept JPEGs as a template for the redraw.

Halftones

‘Halftone’ is the term used to describe illustrations that are made up of continuous tones, e.g. photographs, maps, engravings, X-rays, or diagrams that include continuous tones or tints.

Do not up-sample images. If a file is 100 dpi, do not force it to 300 dpi. Forcing an image to a higher resolution will give it a pixelated and unprofessional look, and we will not be able to use it in the book.

Screen shots

Windows: Make the window to be copied as large as possible and then click on it to make it active. Press the Alt and Print Screen buttons (this will copy the active window to the system’s hidden clipboard). To print the whole screen, do not press the Alt button. Open a new document in an imaging program such as Photoshop (do not use MS Paint), then go to Edit and click Paste. Save as a TIFF only. We cannot accept PNG files.If the screen shot is to be labelled or drawn on, please use Snip and Sketch to take a screen shot at the highest quality.

6

Line drawings must be supplied separately in EPS or PDF file format with a minimum resolution of 600dpi at a minimum of 100mm at their final size.

Halftones must be supplied in TIFF file format with a resolution of at least 300dpi at 100mm (the enlargement or reduction of images will affect the final resolution). Digital camera images should be taken at a minimum of 1.5 megapixels (1400x1100 pixels).

Mac OSX: Before taking any screen shots on a Mac, in order to get a crisp image, make sure font smoothing is turned off. Go to System Preferences > General, then uncheck “Use LCD Font Smoothing.” Open the application Preview. Click Command + Shift + 4; click and drag to select the area you want to save; let go of the mouse. The screenshot will appear on your desktop. To take a shot of the whole screen, click Command+ Shift + 3. Save and rename as a TIFF or high quality JPEG file. The Grab utility can also be used to create screen shots.

Hardcopy sketches

If you do not have access to the images in electronic format or illustration facilities you may provide original images or rough illustrations for ICE Publishing to work into publishable quality images. However, redrawing images is both costly and time consuming – the publishing team will need to account for this in the production schedule.

Also, full typed instructions will be needed for each figure to avoid confusion on what elements of the figure need to be redrawn.Please inform your Editor if you will be supplying artwork in this format

Authors should supply a clearly drawn sketch of each figure on white paper, ensuring that any lettering is legible and that any important features are clearly identified. The sketch will then be interpreted into a form consistent with our house style and suitable for printing.

2.2 TablesTables should be supplied electronically in an editable format, preferably using MS Word or MS Excel. Tables can be included in the chapter, or as separate files. Avoid the use of complex layout instructions as all tables will be re-set by the typesetter into ICE Publishing house style.

2.3 Mathematical notationAn equation editor program should be used for more complex equations, such as the built in equation function in MS Word. Please do not set equations in LaTeX and ensure you are using the correct symbols and operators:

• − not - (for minus)• × not x (for multiplication). Never use a full stop to indicate ordinary multiplication as in a . b or 1 . 106. Both cases should be written as “ab” or “1 × 106”• Use a bold dot for vector products: ∙• Single letter variables are italic, multiple-letter variables are roman (ie not italic)• Greek letters are italic if they are variables• Subscripts and superscripts should be italic if they refer to a value (xi, yj, where i and j are variables), otherwise they are roman (e.g. xmin, ymax)• Brackets are nested in the order { [ ( ) ] }• d (differential) is roman. • e (exponential) is roman

7

• Ellipsis dots should be lined up with the punctuation. x1, x2 ,…, xn (note that there is a comma either side and that the correctly aligned on the commas).• Parentheses should be of a size appropriate to their contents. • The prime symbol should not be confused with the apostrophe ( ’ or ' ), single quotation mark ( ' ), acute accent ( ´ ), or grave accent ( ` ); the double prime symbol should not be confused with the double quotation mark ( “…” or "…" ). All of these similar-appearing symbols have different meanings, and their character-codes are treated differently by typesetting and font rendering software.

Examples:

‖a×b‖2≡det [a∙a a ∙ba∙b b ∙b]≡‖a‖2‖b‖2−(a ∙b )2

[M ∂∂M

+β (g ) ∂∂g

+nγ ]Gn ( x1 , x2 ,…,xn ; M ,g )=0

3. References A full reference list should be included at the end of each chapter using the Harvard conventions.

References should be listed alphabetically by first author. For multi-author references, list all authors up to two. If three or more authors, list first one and add ‘et al’.

All references must be cited in the text by citing author surname and year in parenthesis e.g. (Dempsey and Jones, 1999).

For references with more than three authors use ‘et al.’, e.g. (Dempsey et al., 1999). When citing more than one reference, list references chronologically and separate with a

semi-colon, e.g. (Dempsey, 1996; Jones, 2001; Dempsey et al., 2007). For organisations, use the common abbreviation if available in the text, with the

abbreviation and the full name in the reference list: ‘(WHO, 1986)’; WHO (World Health Organisation) (1986).

When citing multiple works by the same author in the same year, differentiate using letters e.g. (BSI, 2013a) and (BSI, 2013b).

4. Copyright and Permissions

9

It is your responsibility to obtain permission from the copyright holder if you would like to reproduce text or illustrative material from other sources in your book.

It is strongly recommended that copyright permission is sought as early as possible to avoid publication delays. Permission must be granted in writing and submitted with your manuscript.

ICE Publishing require ALL permissions to be cleared before the manuscript enters the production process.

General: Authors must obtain permission to reproduce all material protected by copyright. This refers to any material that has been published elsewhere, in a printed or electronic format. Even if the material is readily available over the Internet, you still need to apply for permission. Quotations of substantial length, illustrations, photographs, halftones or tables are examples of the types of material that are protected by copyright. You can obtain permissions by logging your requests for reuse at http://www.copyright.com/ Alternatively, your Commissioning Editor can provide you with our standard permission request form.

Acknowledgements: Acknowledgement to the source of the material is essential. The standard wording is as follows: ‘J. Smith 1999. Reproduced by kind permission of … (publisher).’ However, if the copyright holdersrequests a specific form of written acknowledgement then this must be followed instead. If you exclude a source line for material that has been previously published then this falsely implies that it is your own work and entirely original.

Rules governing copyright: The duration of copyright depends on the type of work and lasts for different terms in different countries. In the UK, copyright usually lasts 70 years after the author’s death. Please consult your Commissioning or Development Editor if you believe that copyright has expired on material that you would like to reuse. It is also worth noting that copyright law in the UK has a provision known as ‘fair trading’ allowing up to 400 words in a single quotation or 800 words in more than one quotation from a single publication to be used without permission. However, an exception to this rule will apply if an extract is more than a quarter in length of the full article, in which case permission will be required.

Adaptations: If a figure has been significantly adapted from the original then permission from the copyright holder may not be necessary. Adapting a figure is described as substantively altering an existing figure or diagram so that it can be classed as “new”. This is difficult to define so it is best to err on the side of caution and apply for permission to reproduce the adapted version. The original source of any artwork should be acknowledged by applying the wording ‘Adapted from...’ in the caption. The original source will also need to be listed in your reference section.

Government publications: Material published by the UK government (Crown copyright) can, in the main, be used without permission but acknowledgement of the source must be included. Material published by US government agencies is generally in the public domain and so may be reproduced without permission with an acknowledgement of the source.

‘All rights in all media’ and subsequent editions: It is important to identify on the completed permissions letter the figure, table or quote to which it refers to in your manuscript. Please ensure that you request both print and electronic rights and permission for subsequent editions from the copyright holder. Permissions cleared for previous editions may not cover subsequent editions so permission letters should be checked and where necessary permission applied for.

Creative Commons Licenses: Material under a Creative Commons License (CC) can be used as long as you follow the license conditions. One condition of all CC licenses is attribution. The CC website has more information on the types of licenses used as well as a search engine for images that can be reproduced.

5. Overview of the Production ProcessThe standard production time for a book from submission to publication is six months (though this may vary depending on nature and complexity of the title) and involves a wide variety of people. By outlining the basic elements of the production process it is hoped that you will understand some of the reasons for the requirements outlined in this document.

Manuscript handover/appraisal: Once accepted, your final manuscript files are handed over to a production editor for an initial assessment. The production editor will check that all the material is present and identify any problems that need to be resolved before work can begin. Once accepted, the production editor will inform you of the proposed production schedule, indicating any key dates (e.g. dates for proof checking). The production editor will be your main point of contact until the book’s publication. Depending on the nature of the book, the production of your book may be handled by an external project manager.

Copy-editing: The manuscript will be sent to a professional copy-editor who will carefully read your typescript to check for any errors in grammar, spelling, editorial presentation and consistency, and will identify corrections required to the text. The copy-editor may contact you to discuss technical content and to ask you to address any queries they may have.

Typesetting: Once the edited manuscript is returned to the production editor, they run some in-house checks, and then send the material to the typesetter. The typesetter will take the edited text and illustrations and format them using the ICE Publishing house-style, to create proofs.

Proofreading: You will then be sent a proof of the typeset pages to ensure that you are satisfied with the editing, illustration and page layouts. A copy of these proofs is simultaneously sent to a freelance professional proofreader. It is important that the author identifies all corrections at this stage as further corrections cannot be made after this time.

The purpose of the proofs is to show the final printed page layout, allowing the author to: Review the copy-editing

11

Tips on clearing permissions: Publishers and other copyright owners can take some time to respond to copyright

requests.You must start the permission requests while you are writing the manuscript so you can have the clearance finalised by the time you are finished.

It can be helpful to list the material you need to clear in a program such as Excel or Word so you can track which material has been cleared and chase responses.

Send the checklist and copies of the permissions paperwork to your Editor. We will double-check that all acknowledgements are correct.

When checking proofs you will be asked to identify any factual or typographical errors in the text and to indicate any corrections that are required. It is important to note that this is not an opportunity to review the text and make revisions. Correcting text at this stage is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. Note that you will be sent first proofs only (and not subsequent proofs).

Ensure the typeset text is correct and complete Identify any problems with layout of material Identify errors in the illustrations and text

The proofing process is not intended to allow the author to rewrite material or insert new material. The index is also created at this stage, which is why we are not able to accept corrections that affect pagination.

Indexing: A set of proofs will usually be sent to a specialist indexer. If there are any key terms that you wish to appear in the index, please provide a list to your commissioning editor before your book enters production. A copy of the index will be sent to you for your information.

Proof correction: Any final author and proofreader corrections are applied and a final set of proofs prepared for the production editor to check and finalise for printing. You will not see revised proofs.

Printing: Your production editor will let you know when your book has been sent for printing.

Cover design: In the weeks before your book enters production, your commissioning editor will begin to think about the design of the book cover. The aim is to have agreed the final blurb by the time the book enters production so that the cover can be commissioned.

We will always seek to produce a cover that satisfies the author’s requirements, within the ICE Publishing branding and house style guidelines. The proposed cover design will be sent to the author for comment before printing.

The final decision about the cover and text will rest with the publisher, especially regarding ICE Publishing’s style guidelines.

Printing: A conventional book will require four weeks for printing, binding and delivery.

Marketing: During the production process your commissioning editor will send you an Author Marketing Questionnaire. This will help our marketing executives to develop a strategic marketing campaign for your book and identify the most relevant avenues of promotion and events. Please try to supply as much information as possible.

Sales: promotion of your book will begin around twelve months before publication. Your book will be advertised in catalogues, at conferences and to international agents across the globe.

6. Tips for WritingOur sales and marketing teams begin promoting new titles in catalogues and to sales agents across the world at least twelve months before publication and so it is vital that manuscripts are delivered on time and in good shape. Here are a few tips to help you stay on track:

Break down the task Divide the sections of your manuscript amongst the time you have available until your final submission date. For example, a book of eight chapters may be due in one year, leaving roughly six weeks for you to write each chapter. Break down each chapter further into sections than can be ticked off as you write. It will then be easy to see how much of the book has been completed rather than how much is left to do.

Regular meetingsWhen working with co-authors and contributors plan to meet regularly either in person or by teleconference to keep on top of progress and identify any problems that may arise. Regular meetings and conference calls can be arranged by the commissioning team and need not take long but will ensure that the book remains at the forefront of everyone’s mind.

Identify delaysIf you suspect, for any reason, that submission of your manuscript might be delayed, please let your commissioning editor know as soon as possible. With enough advanced notice it may be possible to mitigate the effect of a delay.

Gender neutral languageRemember to use gender neutral language throughout, eg. ‘They shall’ rather than ‘He shall’.

13

Keep in touchIt is important that you keep your Editor updated on the progress of your manuscript. If you change your contact details, have any queries about submission, would like feedback on your chapter or to discuss further ideas or developments – anything at all – please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Dear Permissions Manager,

I am writing a professional book entitled title which will be published by ICE Publishing in year. It will be published in hardback/paperback and is expected to cost £X.

In eBook format the cost will be £X.

I would like your permission to include the following material from one of your publications.
