General Style
Contributions suitable for Textile Progress should provide a critical and comprehensive examination of the subject matter. For most topics, a manuscript should cover the last five to ten years, using earlier relevant volumes of Textile Progress as a starting point. For more specialized or newer material that has not been covered previously in Textile Progress, it may be useful to take an earlier starting point.
Contributions should be written in such a way that they allow the non-specialist to understand the principles and applications of the topic. Articles should be broadly based and practically oriented. The appropriate style is that of a monograph, rather than that of a research paper or news article.
Contributions should aim to conform to a printed extent of 48 pp (including tables and illustrations), i.e. approximately 100 manuscript pages. If you feel that the subject requires a longer contribution, please discuss this with the Editor.
Manuscripts should include an appropriate list of references that will allow use as a resource for further study.

Professor Xiaoming Tao, Editor-in-Chief, Textile Progress, Institute of Textiles and Clothing, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Email: tctaoxm@inet.polyu.edu.hk

Language of Publication
Manuscripts must be written in English. The manuscript will be published in that version of standard English presented by the Author.

Figures
Graphs and diagrams should be computer generated when possible and should be supplied in TIF or JPEG format at a resolution of 1200 dpi at their final size. Hard copy graphs and diagrams should be drawn in black ink on good quality paper or supplied as sharp glossy prints. If black-and-white halftones are to be included, the original photographs must be supplied with the manuscript. If originals are not available, electronic files should be supplied at a resolution of 300 dpi at their final size.
If figures are taken from previous publications it is the responsibility of the author to obtain the necessary written permission from the publisher concerned.
A list of captions for figures, including their attribution, if any, must be included. Label each figure on the back with the figure number and the name of the main authors. Illustrations will be reproduced in black and white.
