The maximum length for papers is 1500 words; correspondence should not be longer than 500 words.  The Harvard system of referencing should be used. 

A declaration of interest must be given and should list fees and grants from, employment by, consultancy for, shared ownership in, or any close relationship with, any organisation whose interests, financial or otherwise, may be affected by the publication of your submission.

Manuscripts accepted for publication are copy-edited to improve readability and to ensure conformity with house style. Contributions are accepted for publication on the condition that their substance has not been published or submitted elsewhere.

About our peer-review process

All articles submitted as 'Special Papers' will be peer-reviewed to ensure that their content, methodology, length and structure are appropriate for the journal. Although not all papers will be accepted for publication, our peer-review process is intended to assist our authors in producing articles for worldwide dissemination. Wherever possible, our expert panel of assessors will help authors to improve their papers to maximise their impact when published.
