How to submit a QTC Article – Submission Guidelines
- Submit your manuscript in DOC, RTF or ODT format or simple plain text with no special formatting, markups, marked headings etc – just plain text. Your article will be returned if not provided in this format
- Font: Please use Arial, 11 point.
- Do not set any special formatting
- Do not insert any images; instead, put a placemark in the document,
eg <insert image 1-QRM Guru Logo.png> - Supply images separately along with the document. Images should be clear, jpeg or png format and no more than 500kb in size – with a suitable file name – commencing with a numeric that aligns with the order in which images appear in the article. E.g. 1-QRM Guru Logo.png
- Consider submitting some of your images in Portrait orientation, large size, which could be used on the front page.
- Keep formatting simple
- Where you wish to reference an internet site, enter the URL per the example.
- You can use “*” to indicate a bullet list – this is better than formatting bullet lists.
- Any words or phrases that are to be highlighted boldface or italics should be done in the text. Ensure you maintain consistency in your use of these formatting styles.
- Short-names, acronyms, technical abbreviations – please use them consistently, and ensure they are explained the first time they are referenced.
- Correctly reference any sources, quotes, or external references
- Referencing a direct quotation
