Copyright Authors will be asked before publication to assign the world copyright of their manuscript to Nature Publishing Group. All manuscripts submitted must be accompanied by a statement, signed to all authors that the article is original, is not under consideration or has not been previously published elsewhere and its contents have not been anticipated by any previous publication.
Preparation of Papers You should write in clear and concise English. Spelling should follow the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors whose native tongue is not English are assured that in-house editorial attention to their contributions will improve clarity and acceptability to readers. Your contribution should be typed in double-line spacing, on one side only of A4 paper. Do not underline anything. Leave wide margins. Number every sheet. A running title of not more than 50 letters and spaces must be provided.
Arrangement of papers
You should arrange your contribution in the following order:
1 Title page including the article title, author(s), affiliation(s), keywords, and one author identified for correspondence.
2 A 50-100 word abstract outlining the purpose, scope and conclusions of the paper and 3 to 6 keywords.
3 The text suitably divided under headings.
4 Acknowledgements if any.
5 References.
6 Tables (each on a separate sheet).
7 Captions to illustrations (grouped on a separate sheet or sheets). 8 Illustrations, each on a separate sheet containing no text.
Text
Subdivide your paper in the simplest way possible, consistently and with clarity. Avoid numbering sections. Trade names should have an initial capital.
Tables
Number tables consecutively throughout the paper with Arabic numerals, referring to them in the text as Table 1, Table 2 etc with a caption at the top of each table. Avoid the use of vertical rules. Tables should not duplicate results presented in graphs.
Illustrations All illustrations should be identified with the author¡¯s name and figure number marked in pencil. Ensure that the position for each illustration is indicated in the text.
Line illustrations Articles may be published more quickly if illustrations are supplied to the required standards, but authors should not be deterred if they are unable to meet these standards as illustrations can be redrawn in house. The originals must be supplied on separate sheets, with 3 photocopies.
Illustrations will be photographically reduced in size, typically to fit one or two columns of the journal and this should be borne in mind to ensure that lines and lettering remain clear and do not break up on reduction. If you label the original illustrations do so in black ink using a suitable stencil. Lowercase letters should be used throughout, with an initial capital letter for the first word only. If suitable stencils are unavailable label a photocopy, not the original illustrations, and our studio will complete the work to the correct standard. If your illustrations are computer generated follow the lettering standards as above and supply the blackest possible laser printout.
Graphs The minimum amount of descriptive text should be used on graphs and drawings (label curves, points etc with single letter symbols). Descriptive matter should be placed in the figure caption. Scale grids should not be used in graphs, unless required for actual measurements. Graph axes should be labelled with variables written out in full, along the length of the axes, with the units in parentheses (for example, Time (s)). A table is usually more satisfactory for recording data.
Photographs plus two photocopies. A scale where appropriate should be marked on the photograph or included in the caption. Colour reproduction is available if the author is willing to bear the additional printing costs.
References
Indicate references to the literature in the text by Arabic numerals which run consecutively through the paper. Where you cite a reference more than once in the text, use the same number each time. In the reference list at the end of the paper, list the authors¡¯ names for papers with up to four authors; for papers with more than four authors the first author only should be quoted followed by et al.

Please ensure that references are complete, ie that they include, where relevant, author¡¯s name, article or book title, volume and issue number, publisher, year and page reference. Abbreviations for titles of medical periodicals should follow Index Medicus.
Proofs The corresponding author will receive page proofs which must be carefully checked. Extensive alterations should not be made. Changes in proof are time consuming and expensive and may result in publication delay. Authors may be charged for alterations in excess of 10% of the original setting.
Offprints Twenty five offprints will be supplied free of charge to the principal author. Additional offprints may be ordered on the form accompanying proofs.
