UPS standards for books and articles

1. Essential principles

 

1. The publication should be of benefit to its readers.

 

2. We do not engage in redundant publications.

 

3. Authors must take responsibility for the content, equity, accuracy and style of their paper.

 

4. We consider submissions which are sent according to this guideline.

 

 

2. General requirements

 

1. The proposal should be submitted with a synopsis, all contributors’ short curriculum vitae, the table of contents and up to ten keywords. If the book requires an index, it should be attached as well.

 

2. Only relevant and well-formatted tables and figures can be used, and must be sent in separate files and at the right resolution. If the submitted material contains any table or figure that has not been originated by the author(s) of the proposal, permission for use needs to be obtained from the copyright holder, and needs to be referred to.

 

3. If any part of the text or any of the chapters have been previously published, permission must be granted by the original source, and proof of permission should be delivered with the proposal.

 

 

3. Style guide and examples

 

1. Formatting

 

The proposal must be in Times New Roman font type (the body of the text at 12 point font size, footnotes at 10 point), normal margins, single space and justified in a standard, single-column format.

 

2. Structuring

 

The text should contain a logical sequence of main sections, preceded by a heading. To use parts, sections and sub-sections, you should have at least two of them at any level. Keep headings and sub-headings short. Use sentence-style capitalisation.

Quotations

Punctuation follows the closing quotation mark, unless the whole sentence is a quotation. The footnote marker comes last. If you add emphasis to a quotation, put ‘(emphasis added)’ into the footnote.

Incorporate quotations of up to four lines into the text. Quotations longer than four lines should be in indented paragraphs; leave additional line spacing above and below indented quotes.

 

Citation

Either directly or indirectly citing any source, put the reference in footnote. Do not use endnotes.

David Hume, in the section Of the Origin of Our Ideas of A Treatise of Human Nature, wrote that:

 

All the perceptions of the human mind resolve themselves into two distinct kinds, which I shall call impressions and ideas. The difference betwixt these consists in the degrees of force and liveliness, with which they strike upon the mind, and make their way into our thought or consciousness. Those perceptions, which enter with most force and violence, we may name impressions: and under this name I comprehend all our sensations, passions and emotions, as they make their first appearance in the soul.¹

 

Shortly after this definition, starting to prove the precedency of our impressions or ideas,¹ he put that “our ideas are images of our impressions, so we can form secondary ideas, which are images of the primary”.² Arguing that…

Cases:

Citing cases in the body text, at first, use the ‘Doe v. Wade’ form, later on, an unambiguous short version is enough (‘in Wade’). In footnotes, when it is first mentioned, give the name of the case in full – thereafter it may be shortened. Do not forget to give the law report and page or paragraph number.

¹ Virginia v. Black 538 US 343 (2003).

 

¹⁴ Virginia. 345.

Citing sources of law, use full forms in the body text [for example, Article 8 and Section 9(1)(a) of Human Rights Act 1998], and abbreviations in footnotes [Human Rights Act 1998, art. 8 and s. 9(1)(a)].

Footnotes

Footnotes can be a form of citation or can provide relevant additional information. Indicate footnotes with a superscript number which should appear after the relevant punctuation in the text – for clarity, it can also be put directly after the word or phrase to which it relates. If a subsequent citation immediately follows, do not use ‘Ibid’, use the subsequent citation form. Separate citations with semi-colons. Pinpoints to pages come at the end of the citation. Close footnotes with a full stop. Italicise titles of books, capitalise the first letter in all major words in a title. Footnotes must contain all available data of the cited sources. Do not insert ‘at’, ‘page’, ‘p’ or ‘pp’, and avoid ‘ff’. Use ‘Press’ referring to university publishing houses (for example, Edinburgh University Press).

Italicising

For laying emphasis on a word or some words, use italics. Avoid over-emphasis. Italicise foreign words and phrases as well, but not quotations and words that are in common usage in English. Referring to foreign terms, next to the English translation, provide the original expression in brackets.

The being-in-the-world (in der Welt-Sein) …

The expression ‘general rule’ (à la règle générale) …

Everyday autarky (αὐτάρκεια) in this context means …

Listing

Lists with less than five items preferably should be in paragraph format, and marked with letters a); b); c) or if necessary numbers 1.; 2.; 3.; 4. Put a period at the end of items in a vertical list only if the items are complete sentences. Otherwise, omit terminal periods, even for the last item, and do not capitalise the first words.

 

Punctuation and abbreviation

 

Contractions ending with the same letter as the original word do not take terminal full stops (Mr, edn), but abbreviations where the last letter of the word is not included do (ch., ed.). Use preferably abbreviations: i.e., e.g., etc.

article, articles                                    art., arts

chapter, chapters                    ch., chs

number, numbers                    no., nos

paragraph, paragraphs            para., paras

part, parts                               pt., pts

section, sections                     s., ss

Commas should be omitted before the final ‘and’ and ‘or’ in lists unless they help understanding.

Introducing a span or range with words, do not use the en dash. Use en dash reporting contest scores or results, and between words representing conflict, connection or direction.

Omissions should be indicated by […].

Winston Churchill in his historic speech, We Shall Fight on the Beaches, said that:

That was the prospect a week ago. […] The King of the Belgians had called upon us to come to his aid. Had not this Ruler and his Government severed themselves from the Allies, who rescued their country from extinction in the late war, […] the French and British Armies might well at the outset have saved not only Belgium but perhaps even Poland.

Symbols

 

For ‘per cent’, use preferably its symbol: %.

Use & symbol only if it is a legacy, for example, in titles and names (William & Mary Quarterly, Simon & Schuster).

The order of brackets: ([{}]).
