Language:
Art Tomorrow’s style of writing is according to scientific method, and language is base on British words and rules of writing. 
Length:
Articles should be no longer than 15 pages, including illustrations.  One OSIA page of contains approximately 500 words of text. Thus, for example, one article might consist of 5,000 words of text (including notes) and 10 half-page line-drawings or black-and-white plates. We shall be as accommodating and flexible as possible within the limits of our extremely tight budget.
Format:
The manuscript should comprise:
1.    the main text of the article including the notes as endnotes (not footnotes)
2.    a bibliography of works cited in the references
3.    illustrations (please see below)
4.    the captions for the illustrations
Please format your text as little as possible: e.g. left-aligned (not justified); single spaced; no indentation; continuous text (without automatic numbering, automatic hyphenation, etc.); etcetera. Please avoid abbreviations. Numbers up to ninety-nine should be written out in full, excepting measurements. Note numbers are to be placed after the punctuation mark and preferably at the end of the sentence. Italics should only be used to accentuate individual words (e.g. words in a foreign language and not in the OED), and the titles of books and journals. Please do not use bold, small caps, underlining, and etcetera.

Non-Roman fonts: If you use non-Roman fonts (Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Persian, etc.) please use a Unicode font.

Transliteration: Arabic, Persian and Ottoman Turkish in Arabic script will be transliterated according to the system used by the International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies http://www8.georgetown.edu/departments/history/ijmes/Book_Reviewer_Instructions.pdf
If you use transliteration, please employ a Unicode font. The editors will impose a standard system of transliteration throughout the volume (except, of course, in passages of transliteration quoted from referenced sources).
Persian words and terms and phrases as well as title of books should be fully translated except for familiar forms of certain Persian names and places and names of cities. Names in Arabic especially those from before the twentieth century should transliterate strictly. Spelling of Persian words is according to modern Persian and should be base on Roman alphabet.

Notes should be restricted to references. The editors will seek to incorporate any comment in notes into the text. References will be at the endnote. For works authored or edited by more than one author or editor, only the name of the first author should be used . For works published in more than one year, only the first year should be used.

Bibliography: should be presented according to the following format:
Articles   
                        Surname, name of author, “name of article”, name of book or magazine, vol., no., (year), pp.  .
Books   
                         Surname,name of author, name of book, publication, city, year,p.  .

Other categories of publication (e.g. exhibition catalogues) should wherever possible be adapted to one of the preceding formats (e.g. an entry in an exhibition catalogue should be treated as a chapter in an edited book).

The editors will prepare a consolidated bibliography at the end of the volume.

Title
The title of the article may be no longer than 85 characters, including subtitle.
Text
Double-space ALL copy: text, quotations, endnotes, captions, bibliography, abstract, author's biographical statement. Print out on one side of the page only. Use 12-point Times New Roman type for all elements. Being each section or element (text, endnotes, bibliography, etc.) on a new page. Number all pages. Leave a margin of 1½ inches all around. Do not break words (hyphenate) at ends of lines. Do not justify the right-hand margin. Use italic type for words to be set in italics. Do not use boldface or other sizes or styles or font.

Endnotes
Notes should be numbered consecutively and submitted as endnotes, not footnotes. Captions should also be on separate pages, double-spaced. Endnote numbers in the text should use superscript figures placed after punctuation.

Quotations
Quotations must be absolutely accurate and carefully transcribed. An ellipsis (three spaced dots) indicates words dropped within a sentence. A period and three spaced dots indicates a deletion between sentences.
Authors must obtain permission to quote published material.
If you are responsible for some of the translations, add at the head of the notes: "Unless otherwise indicated, translations are mine."
Foreign-language quotations in both text and notes should be translated into English, unless the significance of the quotation will be lost. The original text may be included in a note if it is unpublished, difficult to access, or of philological relevance to the article.
"Emphasis added" indicates your addition to quoted matter.
Brackets in quoted material indicate author's interpolation; in inscriptions they indicate letters lost through damage. Parentheses indicate letters omitted as the result of abbreviation in inscriptions.
All references to publications and the like should appear in full form (including place of publication and publisher) only once.

Diagrams, charts, and line images
These images cannot be incorporated into text; each must be treated as a figure. Original diagrams, photographs copied from a book, and very sharp enlarged photocopies may all be acceptable. (Remember that you will need written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce these, unless the work is in the public domain.) They should be larger than the desired size of the reproduction. Any markings, such as i.d. letters or numbers, labels, keys, or other text added to a diagram or map must be in type, not handwritten. If the image requires longer text labels, the author is responsible for supplying a final image (usually in digital format). Art Tomorrow cannot create or insert such data into images.

Spelling and Punctuation:
-    British spelling and punctuation
-    Double quotation marks
-    Em-dash should be used within sentences, e.g. “Periods of contentious politics in modern Iran—during the constitutional era, in the immediate post-WWII period—have been crucial in shaping collective answers to the questions”
-    En-dash should be used for page, date and other numerical ranges, e.g. 24–36.

Numbers:
-    Dates: day-month-year without internal punctuation, e.g. 14 April 1977. Centuries should be written out: nineteenth NOT 19th. Year ranges should be contracted when the century is the same, e.g. 1997–98.
-    Numbers: In nonscientific usage numbers from one to one hundred should be spelled out. Units in larger numbers should be divided by commas, e.g. 2,230.
-    Percentages: Numerals should be used, but followed by “percent” rather than “%” in nonscientific copy.
