April, 1930] INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS 473
must be adopted for determining the order in which papers presented at our semi-annual conventions shall be published. The authority to decide upon order of publication must, of course, reside in some particular individual or committee. At the recent meeting of the Board of Governors the following instructions were given to the editor of the JOURNAL: "The order of publication of papers in the JOURNAL is placed within the discretion of the editor. In case special and early publication is desired, papers will preferably be published in the order of receipt by the editorial office, of a complete manuscript for printing."
In view of these instructions from the Board of Governors, the editorial office proposes to determine in general the order in which papers are published by the chronological order in which manuscripts are received at the editorial office. We wish to emphasize that any author desiring early publication of his article should submit a manuscript complete with all drawings, diagrams, etc., at the earliest possible moment. Upon receipt at the editorial office these will be date stamped. The course which an author should follow in order to obtain early publication is therefore clearly denned and we feel that little dissatisfaction can possibly result from delay in the publication of papers depending for their greatest value upon immediate publication. This regulation, it is hoped, will stimulate contributors to exercise the utmost care in the preparation of manuscripts which are submitted, and the editorial office will consider that the necessity of returning a manuscript to the author for revision or correction or the provision of more satisfactory drawings will be sufficient reason to invalidate his precedence date and the date which will be effective in determining the order of publication will be that upon which the corrected manuscript is received again at the editorial office.
In dealing with those papers for which no particular request for promptness is made the editor will use his best judgment in arranging them so as to give JOURNAL issues of maximum interest to a maximum number of readers. The present editorial management does not feel particularly disposed to allotting some particular JOURNAL to a definite group of papers dealing with a specific subject. We feel that in general this does not serve to keep alive the interest of the maximum number of readers in all of the JOURNAL issues. In our opinion a JOURNAL carrying papers of a diversified type, all, of course, bearing on the motion picture industry, is more desirable.
