dear Mr. Land,

thank you for your enquiry. At Elektor Magazine we do not generally
prescribe the text format, length or style to our contributors, and we
do not have or distribute an Author Guide. We have opted not to
because:

1. over half of our contributors are not native speakers of English
and cannot be expected to comply with complex requirements in terms of
language and word processing;

2. rather than seeking compliance with rules for technical writing we
have a strong focus on the engineering quality and uniqueness of the
article proposals received;

3. we do no desire to have all our articles have the same look and
feel textually (straightjacket effect);

4. some authors are put off rather than assisted by, a strict author
guide.

In practice nearly all the text components of our publication are
written by our experienced editors, based on a bare minimum of
technical specifications for the project, supplied by the authors. For
example, the circuit operation theory in outline, which most appear to
manage. All writing and editing is done in one of four languages, in
close collaboration with the authors.

sincerely,
Jan Buiting MA

My original query:
bruce land | Jul 23, 2018
I teach a course in technical writing at Cornell University. Students in the course are expected to write an article for publication based on a project they have done. The students must target specific journals/magazines, download the style guide, and write to the style guide. I am requesting information on how to do this for Elektor.
