Notes for contributors of articles and reviews Preparation of typescripts. Articles submitted should be typed using double spacing on one side of A4 paper with wide margins, unjustified on the right. Pages should be numbered throughout consecutively. Preparation of typescripts on disk. Once a paper has been accepted for publication it may be sent to the relevant editor in disk form, provided that a hard copy/printout of the full up-to-date text has also been submitted. Authors should retain a backup copy of both disk and printout of their papers. Please consult UWP about preparation of disks. Footnotes should not exceed an average maximum of 25 per cent of the printed page. They too should be supplied in double-spacing and separately from the text, at the end of the article, and they should be numbered consecutively. Tables, maps and diagrams will appear within the printed page but should be provided on a separate page in the typescript and their position indicated by a marginal note in the text. Complicated diagrams should as far as possible be submitted in camera-ready form, but the editors should be consulted in case of difficulty. References in the text to illustrative material should take the form 'Table V etc. for tables and 'Figure l' etc. for other forms of illustration, not 'in the following diagram' since there is no guarantee that pagination will allow this precise positioning. Style of text Quotations within running text should be in single quote marks (double for quotes within quotes). Quotations of more than fifty words should be indented without quotation marks and with a line space before and after. Underline words which are to appear in italic. Single words or short phrases in languages other than English should be in italic, but quotations in another language should not. Dates should be expressed as 1 January 1996; the 1990s; the fourteenth century (but 'a fourteenth-century manuscript'); 1888-9; 1914-18 (not 1914-8). Numbers up to ninety-nine should be spelt out in full except in a list of statistics or in percentages (e.g. 25 per cent). Use -ize endings when given as an alternative to -ise.
