Author Guidelines

1. Prospective authors should submit articles online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tibr and follow directions for submission by clicking on the Create Account tab at the upper right hand corner of the web page.

Teagarden at mary.teagarden@thunderbird.edu or to Managing Editor Suzy Howell at suzy.howell@thunderbird.edu.
2. A cover letter must accompany each submission indicating the name, address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses of all (co)authors.
3. Only original papers, not under consideration elsewhere, will be considered or accepted and copyright of published papers will be vested in the publisher. Manuscripts should be typed, double spaced, with 1 inch margins, and be between 25 - 30 pages long including references. An Executive Summary, not to exceed 100 words, should be included.
4. Acknowledgments and information on grants received can be given before the References. Important formulae (displayed), figures and tables should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript.

The reference list should include information for all sources cited in the article. Please complete references on a separate sheet at the end of the manuscript. References should be organized using the following style:

Electronic Submission Guidelines

Text
Software and format . Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript with one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists.

File names . Submit the text and tables of each manuscript as a single file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.

Illustrations
All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CMYK color space. If possible, ICC or ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.

Software and format . All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.

Resolution . Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.

File names . Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .tif, .eps).
