Articles may be submitted in either Hebrew or English. Those written in Hebrew

in English should include a Hebrew-language summary of similar length. Those
authors who find it difficult to write a summary in another language should submit a
summary in the language in which the article is written.
Articles should be typed in Word for Windows (PC) . In addition to two copies of
the typescript, please include a 144 MB (3.5) diskette containing the text. Please do not fax articles.

Articles submitted for publication are given to at least two readers for evaluation,
and authors receive written notification of acceptance or rejection. The editors
reserve the right to make minor changes ( e. g., spelling, grammar). In the case of
major changes (content, etc.), the article is returned to the author for corrections.
Authors of articles accepted for publication receive 3 copies of the issue in which
their article appears.
