• About Wiley

Wiley has a set of naming conventions that uniquely identifies each text element of a book and each individual figure. All filenames begin with the last six digits of the book’s ISBN. In this section of our handbook, the example ISBN ends in 51234-5. If you don’t know your book’s ISBN, consult your DE or PE.

For chapters, use the book’s ISBN, followed by a space, the letters ch, and the two-digit chapter number. For Chapter 1, the filename is as follows:

512345 ch01.doc

For appendixes, use the ISBN, followed by a space, the letters app, and the appendix letter. For Appendix A, the filename is as follows:

512345 appA.doc

Part opener pages should be submitted as separate documents. Use the letters pp, followed by the part number. (Note that part numbers should be referred to in Roman numerals everywhere except in the filename.) For the Part I part opener, the filename is as follows:

512345 pp01.doc

For the front matter (author bio, dedication, preface/introduction, and acknowledgments), use the letters “fm,” without a number, as shown here:

512345 fm.doc

For a glossary, if applicable, use the letters gl, without a number. Note that a glossary is not considered an appendix. For a glossary, the filename is as follows:

512345 gl.doc

Some series have special text elements that do not fall into any of these categories. For proper filenames for these elements, consult your PE or DE.

There are several types of art elements for naming; figures in chapters, figures in appendices, and margin art.

For figures, use the ISBN, followed by a space, the letters fg, and the four-digit figure number, without a hyphen. This four-digit number is composed of the two-digit chapter number, followed by the two-digit figure number within the chapter. For example, the four-digit figure number for Figure 3-7 is 0307. The full filename for Figure 3-7 is shown here:

512345 fg0307.tif

If the figure appears in an appendix, use the appendix letter instead of the chapter number. The filename for Figure A-7 is shown here:

512345 A07.tif

Figures aren’t permitted in part openers, and should be avoided if possible in the front matter or glossary.

Occasionally, you will need to show tiny images of buttons, or icons, or list small images in a table. This is referred to as margin art. Margin art is named without regard to chapter location, and it is named consecutively throughout the entire book, so it’s a bit different. It uses the ISBN, ma in place of fg, and a three-digit number indicator, as shown here:

512345 ma001.tif

If the second piece of margin art (002) appears in chapter 9, it's still ISBN# ma002, and so on
