EAR has a worldwide readership base and its subscribers comprise a broad spectrum--from scholars to connoisseurs with varying knowledge of, or interest in, the historical, philosophical, practical or theoretical aspects of an art-related topic.Jargon should be avoided--especially where it concerns contemporary art!Diacritical marks are discouraged but every attempt is made to reproduce original characters and accents in Latin-script languages.

In Chinese and Japanese transliteration and place names, the most recent styles and spelling systems are observed. Exceptions may be made, as they are in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, etc, for personal preferences (name before surname, articles, etc.) of people cited in texts, interviewees or authors.The s-suffix is preferred over Americanisms, the day precedes the month and year in dates, the numbers one to nine are written out, except in sums, e g, $1 million.

The following general rules apply:Texts shoud be supplied only by e-mail, by facsimile or post only when email is not available. Maps, other graphics and line drawings can also be supplied in .psd, EPS or TIFF format.

Illustrations. EAR accepts no responsibility whatsoever for illustrations (as indeed text) lost in mail or during dispatch by any other means. Illustrations are accepted on the basis that EAR will not incur any unauthorised copyright costs. Book reviewers should send the dust cover, or a photograph of the title page, while submitting a review for publication.Proofs. EAR provides proofs for articles, including captions and footnotes, reviews and listings but not for Letters to the Editor and not for illustrations accompanying a text.

As the very first step, contributors should propose to the Managing Editor what they wish to submit, send an abstract or a precise outline, and state terms under which they wish to contribute.
