We invite all PB employees to participate in technology transfer
and submit articles to PB Network. Your articles should
provide an overview of a technical subject to appeal to a range
of readers and to prompt them to contact you to explore ideas for
related applications. The subject can be on anything technical,
especially on our featured topics. (See In
Future Issues.)
Please structure your article using the following guidelines:
Overview/Introduction. Why is this topic interesting?
Body of Text. Focus on technology transfer. For example:
-
What technical developments
are new and innovative?
-
How did you go about solving
a challenge on a project?
-
Did computers or other technologies
improve the product?
-
What lessons did you learn
on the project?
Conclusion. Point out the article's relevance. For example:
-
What does the technology
or capability mean to PB?
-
What impact does the technology
have on the project?
-
Was it completed on time
or earlier, with lower cost?
-
What is the status of the
project?
TO SUBMIT. Send (or e-mail) article, graphics, and disk
to the contact person named or John Chow, New York, 1-212-465-5249,
chow@pbworld.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
Guidelines for Graphics:
-
ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS FOR
GRAPHIC DESIGNER TO SCAN IS PREFERABLE!!!
-
Formats. Acceptable
electronic formats are bitmap, tiff, eps, jpeg and psd. NO OTHERS!
-
Resolution. If you
send electronic artwork, it must be at a resolution of at least
300 dpi and measure at least 7" wide.
-
Embedded Artwork.
Artwork embedded in a document is only 72 dpi, which is not
good enough for print. If all you have is a screen capture,
you MUST send the original screen capture file along with your
article. The embedded artwork will ONLY be used for positioning,
NOT for print.
-
Acceptable Original Artwork.
Either 35mm slides, black and white or color, black and white
or color photos, or 35mm negatives. If submitting printed artwork,
please try to provide the original as opposed to a photocopy.
If that is not possible, please make sure the copy is legible;
otherwise, it will not appear legible in the issue.
-
Black & White Preferred.
Keep in mind, PB Network is a black and white document.
If you submit color artwork that contains, for instance, yellow,
the yellow will disappear when it is converted, red will convert
to black, and two shades of blue will appear the same. It is
best if you convert the document yourself so you can see how
it will appear in print. If this cannot be done, we will do
the best we can AS LONG AS WE HAVE A HARD COPY TO WORK FROM!
-
Hard Copy Always Needed.
All electronic artwork MUST be accompanied by a legible hard
copy sent to Laurie Ludwin, PB in New York, Graphic Services
Group. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND THE TITLE OF YOUR ARTICLE.
-
Screen. If any artwork
contains a screen (percentage of a color) or some intricate
grid, please also submit a copy of the art without these and
we will add them.
-
Questions. If you
have any questions about graphics, please contact Laurie Ludwin
at 1-212-465-5725 or ludwin@pbworld.com.
