Those suitable papers are then critically reviewed by usually two or three expert persons. On their advice the Editor provisionally accepts, or rejects, the paper. If acceptance is indicated the manuscript is usually returned to the author for revision. In some cases a resubmission is invited and on receipt of the new version the paper will be sent to a third referee. If the author does not return the revised or resubmitted version within six months the paper will be classified as rejected.
Final acceptance is made when the manuscript has been satisfactorily revised.
All papers should be written in English, and spelling should generally follow The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English. Abstracts in other languages will be printed if the author so desires together with an abstract in English. All abstracts must be provided by the author. Authors are strongly advised to consult a recent issue of the JTE to acquaint themselves with the general layout of articles. Main text pages should be numbered.
