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
