SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts, or the essence of their content, must be previously unpublished and should not be under simultaneous consideration by another journal. By virtue of the submitted manuscript, the corresponding author acknowledges that all the co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript. Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does not justify authorship. Manuscripts are only accepted for publication on the understanding that the authors will permit editorial amendments, though proofs will always be submitted to authors before being sent finally to press. When sending in manuscripts, authors are requested to send a cheque for 200SR to cover the cost of processing the manuscript (e.g. mailing costs I.e. Fed Express, etc.)

Pages should be numbered consecutively, beginning with the title page and continuing through the last page of typewritten material. One original and three photocopies of the entire manuscript should be submitted along with four sets of photographs. Manuscript and figures for review will not be returned to authors whether the editorial decision is to accept, revise, or reject. The only exception will occur when the Editor returns a manuscript with handwritten editorial suggestions to authors to aid them in making revisions. Manuscripts must be accompanied by a covering letter signed by the author and all co-authors. All Case Reports must include at least one figure.
