*/Notes for Edited Book Chapter Contributors/*

1. There is no charge for inclusion in the published book. An auxiliary 
service is available for any authors interested in Open Access. Open 
Access makes the chapter visible free of charge to anyone in the world 
who has Internet access.

2. There are no page charges for black and white figures and 
illustrations submissions provided they are sent to Nova with the source 
files. Color illustrations are billed at the current rate.

3. A free copy of the e-book version of the book is sent to the 
first-listed contributor of each chapter. Additional copies are 
available at a 20% discount. Publication in digital form takes place at 
approximately the same time as the printed version.

4. The scientific community is the intended audience. Books are marketed 
by direct mail, space ads, review copies, online bookstore postings and 
by our international distributors.

5. The choice of theme and approach are at the discretion of the author 
but preliminary acceptance is only upon submission of the draft 
abstract. The line-up of chapters is a constantly changing landscape 
since discussions, commitments and submissions continue on a daily basis 
right up to and sometimes beyond the close of each volume.


6. An abstract in the following form is required consisting of: 1. 
150-500 words; 2. Author affiliations; and 3. Estimated date of chapter 
submission and Copyright Transfer. Please include the abstract as part 
of an email and not as an attachment if possible. Acceptance of topics 
is based partially on which topics have already been accepted for 
particular volumes. The reply to the draft abstract will contain details 
about reference styles and other relevant technical details. A reply and 
decision may be expected within 7 days if the word Abstract is contained 
within the Subject Line of the email.

7. Co-authors may be invited by you at your discretion without 
discussion with Nova.

8. Copyright is transferred to Nova via email. Another form will be sent 
via email along with the electronic page proofs.

9. Personalized chapter offprints are available.

10. MS Word 2003 or Latex are the preferred input programs for text. 
When submitting your manuscript, please indicate the program you used 
(i.e., MS Word 2003) in the text of your email accompanying the attached 
manuscript. If Latex, Nova requests use of the Nova macro. The Nova 
macros are available from the Nova Website under the tab For Authors. 
This is ARTICLE.STY set at 5.5 inches (13.97 cm) and letter size (not A4 
paper). Please try to use outside justified page headers. If you would 
like to add any packages to this macro beyond those already specified, 
it is *mandatory *that the corresponding .sty files be submitted with 
the chapter. Nova currently uses the Windows Operating System.


11. The chapter must be edited for English prior to submission. Nova can 
provide editorial assistance if required. A list of optional editorial 
services is available upon request.
