Your submissions should be accompanied by a covering email/letter stating that: a) the submitted paper comprises original, unpublished material and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; b) the study on which the paper has been based has received full ethical approval by an appropriate Research Ethics Committee.
3. Preparation of Manuscripts
Manuscripts must be written in English. Authors are referred to recent copies of the Journal and are encouraged to copy exactly the published format of papers therein.
Text should be supplied in a format compatible with Microsoft Word for Windows (PC). Charts and tables are considered textual and should also be supplied in a format compatible with Word. All figures––illustrations, diagrams, photographs––should be supplied in jpg format.
All manuscripts must be typed in 12pt font and in double space with margins of at least 2.5 cm.
Please also note the following:
• Please write clearly and concisely, stating your objectives clearly and defining your terms. Your arguments should be substantiated with well reasoned supporting evidence.
• In writing your paper, you are encouraged to review articles in the area you are addressing which have been previously published in the Journal, and where you feel appropriate, to reference them. This will enhance context, coherence, and continuity for readers.
• For all manuscripts, gender-, race-, and creed-inclusive language is mandatory.
• Ethics of Experimentation: submissions to the Journal are required to have followed the procedures in force in their countries which govern the ethics of work done with human subjects. The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) represents a minimal requirement.
Phonetic Symbols
To ensure that phonetic fonts convert to pdf correctly, use the font DoulosSIL. This can be downloaded free of charge from www.sil.org. Fonts must also be embedded. To do this click Tools from the top menu bar, go to Options and select the Save tab. Tick the box to ‘Embed TrueType Fonts’ and click OK. Authors are also asked to upload a pdf copy of their manuscript, designated as ‘file not for review’. In the event that phonetic fonts do not convert properly, this will expedite the review process.

Declaration of Interest
Structured Abstracts. Authors submitting papers should note that structured abstracts (between 150–400 words) are now required for all papers. Please do not include references in the abstracts. There is good evidence that structured abstracts are clearer for readers and facilitate better appropriate indexing and citation of papers. The essential features of the structured abstract are given below. Note in particular that any clinical implications should be clearly stated. Note also that the headings should be included in the text, as section markers.
For Research Reports, Short Reports and Clinical Forum papers
Background. Describe the background to the study.
Aims. State the aims and objectives of the study including any clear research questions or hypotheses.
Methods & Procedures. Outline the methodology and design of experiments, the participants targeted and how they were recruited, the materials employed and the nature of the analyses performed.
Outcomes & Results. Outline the participants characteristics with basic relevant demographic information and the important and relevant results of the analyses.
Conclusions & Implications. State the basic conclusions and implications of the study. State, clearly and usefully, if there are implications for management, treatment or service delivery.
For Reviews and Discussions
Background. Outline the background to the review.
Aims. State the primary objective of the paper; the reasons behind your critical review and analyses of the literature;
Methods: State your approach and methods if relevant and the sources you used to retrieve references
Main Contribution. The main outcomes of the paper and results of analyses; and any implications for future research and for management, treatment or service delivery.
Conclusions. State your main conclusions.
Text. This should in general, but not necessarily, be divided into sections with the headings: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Summary and/or Conclusion(s). The text must be in the exact format of the Journal.
‘What this paper adds’.. Please include a box offering the main points your paper adds to the literature, for readers who would like an overview without reading the whole paper. We recommend that this is divided into two short sections, each with 1–3 short sentences.
Section 1: What is already known on this subject In a couple of short sentences say what was already known on this subject before you did your study and why your study needed to be done. Be clear and specific, not vague.
Section 2: What this study adds In a couple of short sentences give a simple answer to the question ‘What do we now know as a result of this study that we did not know before?’ Be brief, succinct, specific and accurate. You might use the last sentence to summarise any clinical or theoretical implications that your study has.
Tables and Figures. Tables and figures should be referred to in text as follows: figure 1, table 1. The place at which a table or figure is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on the manuscript. Each table and/or figure must have a legend that explains its purpose without reference to the text.
Artwork submitted for publication will not be returned and will be destroyed after publication, unless otherwise requested.
Colour figures.
a. Any figure submitted as a colour original will appear in colour in the journal's online edition free of charge and can be downloaded.
b. Paper copy colour reproduction will only be considered on condition that authors contribute to the associated costs. Charges are: £500/US$1030 for the first colour page and £250/US$515 for each colour page after per article. (Colour costs will be waived for invited Review Articles.)
