Manuscripts should be paginated consecutively beginning with the title page. Content of the paper should be indicated by appropriate headings and subheadings.

The space used by photographs, line art, and tables is included in the page allowance for the manuscript length (see below). Authors are requested to keep all original illustrations until these materials are requested by the Editor. Kiva is not responsible for lost or damaged artwork.
