If you have any questions about references or formatting your article, please contact authorqueries@tandf.co.uk
Tables and figures should be completely understandable independent of the text. Tables must be typed on separate sheets and not included as part of the text. The captions to illustrations should be gathered together and typed on a separate sheet. Tables and figures should be numbered by Arabic numerals. The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the manuscript. Maps should be treated as figures. Please supply clear copies of artwork for figures in a finished form suitable for reproduction. Figures will not normally be redrawn by the publisher. Photographs should be unmounted, high-contrast glossy prints, with as much contrast as the subject allows. Authors must obtain consent from subjects or local institutions for any photographic material. Responsibility for obtaining informed consent for any photographs submitted for publication lies solely with the corresponding author.
Proofs will be sent to the author nominated for correspondence. Proofs are supplied for checking and making essential typographical corrections, not for general revision or alteration. Proofs must be returned (by air mail or fax) within 72 hours of receipt. While reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that such proofreading is accurate, neither the Editors nor the Publishers shall be responsible for any errors.
Free article access: Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Reprints of articles published in this journal can be purchased through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
