We invite all PB employees to participate in technology transfer and submit articles to PB Network on any technical subject, especially our featured topics. (See In Future Issues. ) We look forward to hearing from you.

Guidelines for Articles

Our Goals. The purpose of PB Network articles is to promote technology transfer.
In our articles, we aim to:
• Tell our readers about innovative technical developments
• Appeal to a broad range of readers
• Encourage them to contact authors for more information
• Include only essential information in a readable format.

Your Article
• Keep it as short as you can -- preferably 1,000 to 1,200 words.
• Include only relevant details and descriptions.
• You may submit papers written for other publications, but make sure to update them and show PB activities clearly

Suggested Format

Byline: location, phone number and e-mail address

To Submit Your Article
Send or e-mail article, graphics and disk to the contact person named or to: John Chow, New York, chow@pbworld.com, 1-212-465-5249.

Original Graphics (the best way)
Please provide original graphic documents for the graphic designer to scan, in black & white and/or in color, in one of the following forms:
• 35mm slides • photos • 35mm negatives

Why black and white?
PB Network is a black and white document.

Why color?
When PB Network goes on the web, we like to use the color images.

Why originals?
For printed artwork, please try to provide original as opposed to photocopied printed artwork to insure legibility. If you can only provide a photocopy, please make sure it is legible.

Electronic Files
Please provide electronic files:
• In the following formats ONLY (no other formats are acceptable): bitmap, tiff, eps, jpeg and psd.
• In a size measuring at least 7 inches wide
• With a resolution of at least 300 dpi . 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. We can use embedded artwork only for positioning, not for printing.

Make sure to include the name of the photographer for each photograph submitted.

Note about Screening: If any artwork contains a screen (percentage of color) or some intricate grid, please also submit a copy of the art without these and we will add them.

TO SUBMIT GRAPHICS. Send them with their hard copy to: Laurie Ludwin, PB Graphics Services, One Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10019. For answers to questions, call her at 1-212-465-5725 or e-mail her at ludwin@pbworld.com.
