Aims
The intention of NETWORKS EUROPE and its staff is to promote knowledge and understanding of network communications solutions and technology across Europe. NETWORKS EUROPE aims to present news, reviews, interviews, and other kinds of information on the network communications industry in a timely and in-depth manner. In addition to our own editorial, we invite contributions of all kinds from throughout the network communications industry and beyond.
The topics covered in NETWORKS EUROPE include, but are not limited to, Copper Cable Systems / Fibre Systems /Cable Management / Switches & Routers / Green Networking / Datacentre Technology /Building Automation Systems / Pre terminated Systems / UPS and power management / Test and measurement / Enclosures / KVM /Voice over IP / Security over IP / Wireless Technology / Virtualisation. NETWORKS EUROPE is aimed at readers throughout the networks industry as well as those who are likely to invest in network communications in any sector. The magazine aims to be accessible to all its readers, from those who are fully knowledgeable about networks and their function to those who don’t know what network communication is. Articles within the magazine will therefore range from introductory to deeply technical in their nature.
Objectivity
NETWORKS EUROPE is a completely independent publication, aiming to offer an entirely objective view of the industry. In particular, we do not sell, trade or otherwise receive any sort of goods in return for printing editorial which features any given company. Nor will we ever allow our editorial to be used as a means of promoting a company. Articles may present the newsworthy acts and/or opinions of named companies, but all measures are taken to ensure that articles within NETWORKS EUROPE report the objective facts without bias.
All editorial that we receive from third parties will be subject to the editor-in-chief’s ultimate approval, and submission of an article is no guarantee of publication. No article will include any sort of contact details for any featured company; that is what advertising is for. No company or brand name will be fully capitalised unless the length of the name does not exceed three characters. Company names should only appear in articles once; repetition should be avoided wherever possible. Accompanying images should not show any company logo, or should at least seek to make any logo present as unobtrusive and indiscernible as possible. Although the publishers of NETWORKS EUROPE take no responsibility for views expressed in its articles and technical papers, articles containing libellous comments will nevertheless be excluded from publication. NETWORKS EUROPE reserves the right to edit the whole or part of any material selected for publication, in order to ensure that all articles meet its editorial policy.
Submissions
NETWORKS EUROPE welcomes any relevant submissions from companies and individuals within and without the networks industry. Submissions may take the form of letters, interviews, articles, news or press releases. All submissions will be considered, but not all submissions are guaranteed to be published. Successful submissions will be subject to editing and alteration as the editor-in-chief sees fit (although minor alterations or requests from the author will also be taken into consideration). Submissions should be made in British English, except where NETWORKS EUROPE has made clear in advance that we will undertake to translate an article into British English.
Please advise us at the time of submission if any article is time sensitive. If it has been accepted for publication but has an expiry date, it is the responsibility of the contributor to inform us at the time of submission.
Submissions should where possible be accompanied by a selection of high-resolution images (minimum 300 dpi, in *.tiff, *.eps or *.jpg format) which should be relevant to the article, and which are attractive & eye-catching. For interviews we additionally request that a high-resolution image of the interviewee be sent for inclusion. Positioning of a particular submission within the magazine is at the discretion of the editorial team.
If you have any questions, please just ask and we will be happy to help!

Advertising guidelines
Advertisements should not refer to any editorial that may be included in the magazine, and vice versa. Advertisements should be in British English (except for instance a loose insert which is targeted at a particular country/language group only). They should be designed in ‘good taste’, and should not contain any material that could have the potential to offend any of our readers. The publishers reserve the right to object to any potentially offensive material. Advertisements must meet the formatting criteria given on the order confirmation form and should be provided in high-resolution format of at least 300dpi. The following formats are preferable: *.eps, *.jpg, *.pdf, *.tiff . All advertisements should comply fully with our terms and conditions.
If you are unable to provide a high-resolution advertisement, NETWORKS EUROPE can undertake to design one for you (charges may apply). In order to do this, NETWORKS EUROPE’S design team will require high-resolution images, a high-resolution copy of the company logo, company contact details, and any text that you wish to be included in the advertisement. A low-resolution PDF proof of the advertisement will be sent to the advertising client for approval and/or alterations before publication.
For terms and conditions for advertisers, please see below.
