Formatting Requirements

Early College Folio has no general rules about the formatting of articles upon initial submission. There are, however, rules governing the formatting of the final submission. See Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines and our Grammar and Style Guide for details. Although bepress can provide limited technical support, it is ultimately the responsibility of the author to produce an electronic version of the article as a high-quality PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) file, or a Microsoft Word, WordPerfect or RTF file that can be converted to a PDF file.

Multimedia submissions such as image, audio, video, and animation may require unique formatting in preparation for the final submission. The editors will advise creators on a case-by-case basis.
