Instructions for Authors
Submission of Manuscripts
Upon receipt of the manuscript, the editor will send the author a form stating that the article being submitted has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. This form must be signed by the author and returned to the editor at the above address, or faxed to 609-258-3661.
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.
All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more that 100 words. In the abstract, avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text. Further instructions and an author template can be obtained from the journal's web page at www.taylorandfrancis.com.

Grammatical Points
Punctuation
Commas and final periods should be placed inside quotation marks. Other punctuation marks should be placed inside the quotation marks only if they are a part of the matter quoted. Quotation marks should precede footnote numbers. Example: When asked about his golf score, he responded, "I did not cheat." 3
Don't use an apostrophe before the "s" in 1950s, 1980s etc. Also, no apostrophe in ordinals, e.g., 20th, 133rd. Do not superscript centuries (i.e., write 21st century).
Treaties are capped, but are not enclosed in quotation marks.
Dates
Abbreviations
The first time they are used, the Commonwealth of Independent States and newly independent states should be written out. Thereafter, you can use the abbreviations "CIS" and "NIS."
When referring to treaties and organizations, the full name should be provided at the first reference with the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter, the abbreviation can be used. Use "START I" and "START II" as abbreviations (not START-1, or START 1).
U.S., U.K., or U.N. are to be used only as an adjective, never as a noun (use United States, United Kingdom, or United Nations as a noun). Also, the abbreviation of each should include periods. Note: the abbreviation "USSR" requires no periods.
Examples: "The U.S. government was against the policy change." (not the US)
"The truck went into the United States." (not the U.S. or the US)
Capitalization
Use lower case for government (i.e., Ukrainian government), administration (i.e., Bush administration), cabinet.
Italicization
Missile names are not italicized, e.g., Agni, Ghauri, Dong Feng-2.
Russian Words
The soft sign in Russian is not used in the Review. In addition, most familiar Russian words do not need to be underlined or put in italics. Thus, we have "oblast," "glasnost," and "perestroika."
We do not have a set policy on transliteration from Russian. But, for consistency's sake, some common spellings should be observed. For example, use "Tajikistan" (not "Tadjikistan"); use "Kyrgyzstan" (not "Kyrghzstan"); use "Kazakhstan" (not "Kazakstan").
Proper Names and Titles of Individuals
In using Korean names, use all capitals, without a hyphen (Kim Jong Il).
In using Chinese and Korean names, the first name listed is the family name (for Kim Jong Il, use Kim).
For Spanish names, use the first of the two last names (for Carlos Pastora de Fiello, use Pastora) Double (or Em) Dashes
Ellipses
Separate ellipsis points from each other and any contiguous punctuation by 3-to-em spaces.
10.52 (page 372)
The glottal stop . . . is marked by an apostrophe.
Measurements/Currency Units/Scientific Symbols
Use
- abbreviate metric tons as MT
- mt and kt in lowercase for megatons and kilotons
- miles instead of mi
- seconds instead of sec
- a.m. vs. am or AM
- percent instead of %
- kilograms abbreviate as kg
No "US" by the "$" sign, unless distinguishing it from Canadian or other dollars.
Write isotope numbers using superscript (i.e., Pu239). Write chemical formulae with subscripts (use U3O8).
Use symbols only for the elements U and Pu and only when specifying type (i.e., Pu-239). However, spell out plutonium and uranium when referring to amount (i.e., 20 pounds of plutonium). Always spell out the names of all other elements, e.g.
cesium, copper, etc.
Hyphenation
Do Not Hyphenate the following:
decisionmaker (or -ing)
Director General (IAEA)
early 1995 or late 1995
heavy water
highly enriched uranium [spell out for first reference, followed by (HEU)]
light water reactor
Nodong (but Nodong-1, etc.)
nonproliferation (except for Non-Proliferation Treaty)
nuclear weapon state
policymaker (or -ing)
Secretary General (UN)
START II
weapons of mass destruction
Taepodong
