Submission of Manuscripts

Each manuscript should be submitted by e-mail (jhsb@scri.ac.uk) attached to a covering letter confirming that it describes original research not submitted for publication or already published elsewhere. The text and all Tables must be in Microsoft Word (Version 98 or newer), not as a pdf file. Each Figure should be attached separately, prepared as follows: half-tones (300 dpi at finished/printed size); line-work (1,200 dpi at the finished/printed size). No compression should be applied to Figures which should be either Tiff or EPS file types.

Any submission will be taken to imply that all the named co-authors have agreed to the work being sent out for peerreview and possibly published, and that they have no undeclared competing financial interests. Please include any special requests or printing instructions, and/or any forthcoming address change(s) for the corresponding author. All authors are responsible for the accuracy of the facts presented, and for their opinions, which will not necessarily be those of the Journal or its Trustees.

NEW WORD-COUNT and FIGURE/TABLE NUMBER LIMITS

With immediate effect, each submitted manuscripts should be no longer than 4,500 words (in total) including Title, authors’ names & addresses, Summary and main text, References, and Figure legends. Each manuscript should have no more than five Figures or TABLES designed to occupy no more than 2.5 A4 pages (in total) within an overall final limit of 5 published pages. As a guide, the total number of words should be reduced by approx. 500 for each Table or Figure included. Please indicate the total word count on the title page.
