Instruction for authors

Papers should be typed on A4 paper (21x29.5cm) with 2.5 cm margin left and right, 3cm blank at the top and 3cm blank at the bottom. The preffered line spacing is 2 lines per cm. Diagrams should be inserted in the text, hirizontally oriented, adjacent to the location of reference to them. The minimum rules which authors are required to observe are:-

  1. Provide sufficient information to specify completely the data input to the computer program, in order that another PHOENICS user can repeat the author's calculations.
  2. Supply sufficient extracts from printed-out results to allow anyone who has sought to repeat the author's calculations to be reasonably shure that he has done so.
In other respect the author is free to adopt his own style. However, the following format is recommended.

Pages 1 and (possibly) 2

Contributors should submit three copies of their paper to Mrs.Sylvie Stevens, CHAM Bakery House, 40 High Street, Wimbledon, London SW19 5AU, UK. Their contributions will be sent to two experienced referees, whose confidential and anonymous reports will be conveyed to the contributors along with the editor's decision on publication.
