Articles are normally between 4000 and 6000 words long, but longer articles will be accepted if the topic demands this length of treatment. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all manuscripts (whether original or revised) are accurately typed before final submission. Manuscripts will be returned to the author with a set of instructions if they are not submitted according to our style.
Contributions are normally received with the understanding that they comprise original, unpublished material and are not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Translated material, which has not been published in English, will also be considered.
All articles are refereed to ensure both accuracy and relevance, and amendments to the script may thus be required before final acceptance. On acceptance contributions are subject to editorial amendment to suit house style, but authors will receive proofs for approval before publication.
TEXT PREPARATION ON DISK
The publisher encourages submission to the journal on disk. The electronic version on disk should only be sent with the final accepted version of the paper to the Editor. The hard copy and electronic files must match exactly. Please contact the editorial offices for full guidelines on disk submission.
SHORTER ITEMS
The Viewpoint section exists for the expression of opinion, and allows authors to submit material which might not be appropriate for full-length articles but which contains ideas worthy of publication (1500-2500 words).
Book reviews are welcomed (800-1200 words).
Conference reports (1000-1500 words).
Notices of forthcoming meetings for listing in the Calendar section are also welcomed. Entries must be received at least four months before publication.

Manuscripts must be typed in journal style, double spaced. Number every sheet. Footnotes, abstract and references should be double spaced on one side only. International Standard Size A4 paper, with a left-hand margin of 40 mm should be used.
Arrangement of papers
1. Short title (up to 40 characters including spaces), subtitle (if desired), author(s) name(s), affiliation, full postal address and telephone and fax number of each author.
2. Self-contained abstract of up to 100 words outlining in a single paragraph the aims, scope and conclusions of the paper; acknowledgements (if any; article title abbreviated appropriately for use as a running headline.

The text should be organized under appropriate section headings which, ideally, should be no more than 600 words apart. All headings should be placed on the left-hand side of the text, with a double line space above and below.
Authors are urged to write as concisely as possible, but not at the expense of clarity. Descriptive or explanatory passages, necessary as information but which tend to break up the flow of text, should be put into footnotes or appendices. Where possible, however, footnotes should be avoided.
All measurements should be given in metric SI units.

References and footnotes should be separate and indicated by Arabic numerals which run consecutively through the text.

Footnotes should be quoted by superscript numbers, and run consecutively through the article. They should be typed at the bottom of the page on which they appear.
TABLES
Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and given a suitable caption. Notes and references within tables should be included with the tables, separately from the main text. Notes should be referred to by superscript letters. All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Tables should not repeat data available elsewhere in the article, e.g., in an illustration.
ILLUSTRATIONS
All graphs, diagrams and other drawings should be referred to as Figures, which should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and placed on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript. Their position should be indicated in the text. All illustrations must have captions, which should be typed on a separate sheet.
Illustrations should be provided in a form suitable for reproduction without retouching: that is, they should be camera-ready. Three copies of the illustrations should be provided: the original and two photocopies. Illustrations should permit reduction, with lines drawn proportionally thicker and symbols larger than required in the printed version.
Photographs are welcomed, where they add materially to the text. Please note that all photographs will be reproduced in black and white. Colour reproduction is available if the author is willing to bear the additional printing costs. These are to be referred to in the text as Plates, and numbered. Only the original need be submitted: it should be identified on a label (by number, article title and journal) on the back. Captions should be provided, on a separate sheet.
Authors should minimize the amount of descriptive matter on graphs or drawings, and refer to curves, points, etc., by their symbols. Descriptive matter should be placed in the caption. Scale grids should not be used in the graphs, unless required for actual measurements.
