Accepted papers are to be prepared on disk using software acceptable to the managing editor , but disks need not be included at the point of initial submission. Disclosure Together with the paper being submitted, authors are asked to include a copy of any other paper, whether or not published elsewhere , that shares data or modelling analysis with the submitted paper. The contribution of the submitted manuscript must be clearly distinguishable from other such papers. If the submitted paper is based on an experiment, survey, or other data manipulations, participants, or variables involved in that collection are reflected in the paper, authors are asked to include a memo describing and explaining the circumstances and estimating any effects on the results. The memo may be sent to reviewers.
All reviews are blind reviews .
Only papers containing original, unpublished work, which is not being considered for publication elsewhere, will be received.
