Global Cement Magazine author information

Prospective authors for Global Cement Magazine should first consult the editorial calendar to find out when the magazine is due to cover the subject that interests them.

About two months before the editorial deadline, the prospective author should contact the editorial director by telephone, fax or email to discuss potential interest and article size. Articles are normally between 500 and 2000 words long (1-4 pages in the magazine) and authors should allow two or three illustrations (including photographs, tables, diagrams or graphs) per 500 words.

When the final version of the article is ready, the article should be sent by email to the editorial director in the form of an MSWord document with embedded images. Alternately, the text file can be sent by email or CD, and original good quality colour photographs can be sent by express mail or courier.

Please note that the editorial deadline is the absolute final deadline for receipt of material, and authors should aim to beat this deadline by at least two weeks.

Once accepted for publication, the article will be sub-edited to conform with house style and pagination, and the author will be sent a faxed proof. It is the author's responsibility to check this proof very carefully for any errors, and to send it back to the editorial department in timely fashion.

Published authors will be sent a number of complimentary copies of the magazine, by arrangement with the editorial director. All material can be returned to the author by arrangement.
