Manuscripts. Three complete copies of the manuscript should be submitted. Manuscripts should be typed on one side of the paper, double-spaced, with ample margins. The first page should bear the title of the contribution, the names and the affiliations of all contributors and the full postal address, together with the fax and e-mail numbers of the corresponding author. The second page should include the title, but exclude the authors' names to assist the blind review process. All articles should include an abstract of 50-100 words and up to six key words. The main text should be followed by acknowledgements, footnotes and references. All pages should be numbered consecutively.

Authors should aim for manuscripts of about 6-8000 words. Shorter and longer manuscripts will be considered only in extraordinary circumstances.
