Submissions Guidelines for Evidence Technology Magazine
The goal of Evidence Technology Magazine is to provide an open
forum for the discussion of issues surrounding evidence collection,
processing, and preservation. A well-written article should do two
things:
1) It should be understandable to every reader with any level of
knowledge and experience; and 2) it should provide useful
information to every reader with any level of knowledge and
experience.
If you have a story to tell - a case study or technical article,
for example - that you think would be useful to our readers, we
welcome your submission of materials. Here are some things to keep
in mind:
- If you haven't already written the article, send a brief
outline of your proposed article to the editor (Kristi Mayo:
kmayo@evidencemagazine.com).
Opening a dialogue with the editor will give you the opportunity to
get guidelines on length, style, and deadlines. We may also not be
able to use your article (for example, if a similar article is
already scheduled in an upcoming issue of the magazine)�so your
inquiry could save you time and effort.
- Provide photographs and/or illustrations! What you write is
most important, but readers also like to look at pictures. We like
to publish pictures. Including photos or illustrations with your
submission will make it much more attractive and increase your
likelihood of getting published. (Please note: Digital photographs
must be high resolution - 300 dpi and, if possible, no smaller than 7
inches wide. The bigger the photo and the higher the resolution, the
better. These large digital files should be burned onto a CD and
mailed to our office.)
- Please do not simultaneously send your article to other
publications. When we receive an article for consideration, we
assume it has been submitted to us exclusively.
- Please indicate whether your article has been previously
published in other magazines, newsletters, professional journals, or
websites.
- Unsolicited articles are filed for future consideration. They
may be used at any time. You are welcome to contact us (e-mail
preferred) to check on the status of your submission. If you want
your submission materials returned, please include a self-addressed
stamped envelope (SASE).
- Your article will be edited for style, content, and fit. You
will be contacted prior to publication, and you will have the
opportunity to approve any changes that are made to the article. All
articles are reviewed by the Evidence Technology Magazine Advisory
Board.
- Contributors will receive two copies of the magazine in which
their article appears.
- Just send us the article! We prefer un-illustrated, unformatted
Word documents. Photos should be in .jpg format.
