The manuscript should be prepared in accordance with the editorial requirements given below. The simplest way to do it is to use one of our templates. If your document doesn't contain complicated formatting, tables, graphs or figures, you can submit it as a Word or Open Office file. Otherwise you should convert it to a ps or pdf file to ensure your graphics are placed where you want them and printed as expected in the published book.
