ADVERTISING POLICY
FOR 'CRYSTALLOGRAPHY NEWS' 2000

( http://bca.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/BCA/CNews/ad2000.html )

CRYSTALLOGRAPHY NEWS is a unique quarterly publication in that it represents and reaches almost all crystallographers and crystallography laboratories in the UK and is also sent to a number of crystallographers across the world; we usually print 900 copies. It is an ideal medium for advertising meetings and commercial products used for such things as:

Crystal growth, crystal/molecular models Crystallography Books
X-ray and neutron diffraction cameras Crystallographic databases
X-ray generators, safety systems Structure refinement software
X-ray and neutron detectors Data analysis software
X-ray diffractometers, special sample holders Molecular graphics software
Electron diffraction systems Educational materials, or software

The charging policy for full page (A5) commercial advertisements is that original display material, normally contributed to the editor at A4 size, will be included at the following rates, (price per page, per issue, in £ sterling):

For monochrome printing:

Colour printing is possible on the covers and centre pages, which are printed on glossier paper.
Add £150 per page for any colour printing. Our printer finds that best colour reproduction comes from photographic prints or negatives, (not digitally made prints) which the printer will scan. Images may also be submitted electronically on PC disc, GIF, TIFF, JPEG or PostScript format. However, you probably get better reproduction from :


The following sizes are suggested:

Special positions: these are booked a year in advance; the inside covers and centre spread are surcharged 15%, the back cover 20%. In the event that more than one advertiser asks for a particular position, preference will be given to those who have fully paid all the invoices the BCA has sent out during the current year.

Advertising leaflets and brochures can be mailed with the March and June issues only; they should be A5 size or A4 already folded; rates are twice the current single page rate for monochrome printing for each item, (2 x £220 = £440) but if their extra weight causes us to pay increased postage, an additional £60 is charged.

Advertising copy should preferably be in the form of complete line/text artwork with generous margins which reduces well. Contrasty half-tone illustrations and photographs can be reproduced, but this is not always entirely successful. Display Copy can be accepted on PC disks, as TIFF or colour PostScript files which the editor (or printer) will print on an A4 or A5 page. Files may also be sent electronically to [email protected]; contact the editor for details.
