Instructions for Authors
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
Papers should normally be around 5000 words in length, but longer or shorter articles will be considered. Authors should send their papers electronically by email attachment. Where this is not possible, three complete copies of each manuscript should be submitted. They should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced, with ample margins and bear the title of the contribution. Where the submission of three copies would prove prohibitively expensive, in exceptional circumstances an e-mail attachment or computer disc (Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format) will be accepted. In order to guarantee blind review the name(s) of the author(s), a 60 word biography and the address where the work was carried out should only appear on a separate first page. Each article should be accompanied by an abstract/summary of 200-300 words, also on a separate sheet. The full postal address of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and offprints should also be included. All pages should be numbered. Footnotes to the text should be avoided. It is essential that references are laid out as shown below.
Rejected manuscripts will not normally be returned to contributors.

Tables and captions to illustrations. Tables must be typed out on separate sheets and not included as part of the text. The captions to illustrations should be gathered together and also typed out on a separate sheet. Tables should be numbered by Roman numerals and figures by Arabic numerals. The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the manuscript. Captions should include keys to symbols.
