Notes to the text should be kept to a minimum and appear as Endnotes. Sections in the manuscript should be clearly sub-titled.

Each article should be accompanied by an abstract/summary of 100 – 150 words on a separate page, followed by Key Words, and a short note of biographical details. This file should be named “Title Page (not for review)” All pages should be numbered.
The full postal address and email address of the corresponding author should be included in the “Title Page (not for review)”. He/she will be notified of the selection outcome after submission of the manuscript to an anonymous peer review process, and if selected, will check proofs, and receive correspondence and off-prints
