EDITORIAL SUBMISSIONS
AVIATION SECURITY INTERNATIONAL EDITORIAL GUIDELINES
We welcome editorial submissions that are well researched and original
texts, and that are likely to be of value and interest to the global
airport, airline and governmental aviation security community.
How long should an article be?
Articles should be around +/- 2000 words in length. Please do not
exceed 2500 words.
Who may write for Aviation Security International?
We are especially interested in articles by individuals
who have some special expertise or first-hand experience in the
subject about which they are writing. We tend to avoid articles
written by manufacturers, promoting any one product, unless either
the technology being discussed is revolutionary in nature or the
article avoids reference to the manufacturer's own products.
How should the article by submitted?
The article should be submitted as a Word (for Windows)
file to the Editor, Philip Baum. As Aviation Security International
is published in the United Kingdom, please endeavour to use UK English
(unless a specific programme, or brand, is being described) and
use the spell-checker prior to submission.
Submission may either be by e-mail to:
editor@avsec.com
or sent on diskette or CD to:
Philip Baum
Editor, Aviation Security International,
c/o Green Light Ltd.,
375 Upper Richmond Road West,
East Sheen,
London SW14 7NX,
United Kingdom
What graphics are required?
Wherever possible, hi-resolution (300 dpi) jpeg images
should accompany the article and be sent by either email or post
to the aforementioned addresses.
What information will be published about the author?
We normally end each article with a brief biographical sketch of
the author. The sketch, submitted by the author, is usually 3 to
4 lines long describing the author, their current title and significant
posts previously held.
Is there an editorial submission checklist?
Yes! Here goes:
- Article should be submitted in Word (for Windows) format, written in UK English
- Hi-resolution (300 dpi) jpeg images should be supplied where possible
- A brief (3 to 4 lines) biographical sketch of the author should be attached
- Contact details of any manufacturer referred to in the article should be provided<
Are authors paid for their articles?
We do not pay for articles submitted by airports, airlines, government
agencies or manufacturers. We regard Aviation Security International
as a trade journal, designed to support the industry. Accordingly,
we hope that the industry will, in turn, support the journal.
Freelance journalists, effecting detailed research
into specific subjects at the request of the Editor of Aviation
Security International, will be paid for their submissions. If a
payment is made, the author's contact details are, generally, not
printed alongside the article.
Consultants may also be paid but, again, their
contact details will not be printed alongside the article.
The contact details of authors writing for Aviation
Security International for free will be published upon request by
the author.
If payment is required, please stipulate that
when submitting your editorial enquiry to the Editor. If we receive
an article for publication without a stipulation that payment is
required, we will assume that the article is being donated and that
no compensation is expected.
May an article be edited or changed in any way?
We reserve the right to edit submissions for grammar, style, length
and tightness but will not make substantive editorial alterations
without the author's approval.
Where an article describes a particular product
or a specific manufacturer's technology, we reserve the right to
send the article to the appropriate manufacturer to ensure that
their product or technology has been accurately described.
Who owns the rights to the articles?
Upon submission of an article, the author is giving tacit permission
for us to publish the article or to reprint the article at our option.
The author is also warranting that our publication of the article
would not be in violation of any existing copyright. We will consider
publication of previously published material, providing it meets
the aforementioned criteria.
