Prospective authors or organizers of contributions should communicate in writing with the Manager of the Monograph Program early in their project so that the Editorial Board can determine the proposal's suitability and timeliness for this Program.

To evaluate the proposal, the Editorial Board needs the following items:

1. A tentative title and table of contents of the book.
2. A brief statement of the need and potential market for the work.
3. The approximate number of double-spaced manuscript pages and nature of any illustrations, tables, or graphs.
4. The names, titles, and affiliations of all contributing authors, together with their telephone and FAX numbers and E-mail addresses.

In addition to the tentative title and table of contents, some draft chapters should also be included so that the technical level and general style of the work can be assessed. A final decision regarding publication is taken by the Editorial Board only after receipt of the entire manuscript, and favourable reports from reviewers.

All proposals should be sent to:
