Style Guidelines

File Guidelines

• Please submit only PDF files (or other listed filetypes), up to 10 MB in size.
• Please format your submissions as 8.5 in. X 11 in. (standard letter) sized pages.
• Filenames must end in .pdf (or zip, mov, mp3, avi, or mpg) and can only include periods, underscores, dashes, and alphanumeric characters (a-zA-Z0-9). Files cannot contain spaces, slashes (/, \), commas, or single/double quotes (',").
• Filenames must be shorter than 40 characters including the file suffix (.pdf counts as 4 characters).
• FOR NON-PDF SUBMISSIONS: We suggest you submit a written description for hyperlinked files (ie- your name, the title of the piece, and a short statement) in consideration of how the hyperlink to your file will appear on the page. This additional information should be submitted in PDF format.

Style Guidelines

• Spacing: Single Spaced
• Fonts:Body of Text should be 8-12 pt. font
• Length: Keep your submissions under 5 pages.
• Margins: Please remember that this is all printed on printers that do not allow full-bleeds, which means you should keep about half an inch of whitespace around the documents.
• Contact Info: Please identify yourself on your work somewhere. SCALE prefers that you put your name, e-mail, and personal website URL and a short (like 1-3 sentence) bio at the end of your submission. NOTE: This journal is a great place to get exposure and how will folks know whom to lookup if their is no pointer to an individual or group ID?
• Page Numbers: Do not put page numbers on your pages. The page page numbers for each issue are automatically generated onto each page for each issue.
