Manuscript Submission

Submissions should follow the format and conventions described below.

Authors should submit their text files in Word format.

Submitted files should include a cover sheet giving the author’s name, postal address, telephone number, email address, and competing interests declaration. To ensure anonymity during the refereeing process, the article itself should not display the name of the author.

Articles should normally be between 6,000 and 12,000 words in length (main text); authors proposing longer or shorter submissions should seek the advice of the editors.

Submissions will be read initially by one of the two co-editors. They may be rejected at this stage, or be sent on for review by two independent assessors, who may or may not be members of the Editorial Board. Submissions are considered on the understanding that they are not currently being considered for publication elsewhere. The Editors aim to notify authors within two months as to whether their submission has been accepted for publication.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON PERMISSIONS : Contributors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any material for which they do not hold copyright and for ensuring that the appropriate acknowledgements are included in their typescript. For information about seeking permission to use copyrighted material, please see here. We advise all authors to start the process of obtaining permissions as soon as their article is provisionally accepted, as any delay may cause significant delay in publication. No article will be put into press until all relevant permissions have been obtained. Please refer to the guidelines in the author publishing agreement form here.
