Submission of a paper to Maturitas is understood to imply that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere and that the Author(s) permission to publish his/her article(s) in this journal implies the exclusive authorisation of the publisher to deal with all issues concerning the copyright therein.

Electronic manuscripts. Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errorsand resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs.For the initial submission of manuscripts for consideration, hardcopies are sufficient.

Double density (DD) or high density (HD)diskettes (3 1/2 or 5 1/4 inch) are acceptable. It is important that the file saved is in the native format of the wordprocessor program used. Label the disk with the name of the computer and wordprocessing package used, your name, and the name of the file on the disk. Further information may be obtained from the Publisher.
