All manuscripts will be reviewed by competent scientists. Papers are judged on their contribution of original data, ideas or interpretations, and on their conciseness, scientific accuracy and clarity. Numerous and long tables, large numbers of figures, and pages in excess of 10 per article may be charged to the author at the current cost per page. Information concerning page costs will be transmitted to the author during the manuscript review process. All articles must contain a concise but adequate abstract, which should be an informative digest of significant content and should be able to stand alone as a brief statement of the conclusions of the paper.
Manuscripts are to be submitted in duplicate.
Papers are accepted on condition that copyright is vested in the journal. No part of any article published in the Journal for Medical and Applied Malacology may be reproduced without the written permission of the publishers. All statements made and opinions expressed in any article are the responsibility of the author. The publishers will set the text in the style adopted for the journal, and it would be helpful if authors would follow this style as closely as possible in the manuscript. Prospective authors who type their manuscripts on computers are encouraged to submit a computer disk version of their manuscripts in addition to normal paper copies.
