In the case of rejection the manuscript will be returned to the author if requested. Authors should suggest competent reviewers in their field and may also suggest individuals whom they wish to have excluded from the review process. The corresponding author will receive a decision letter from the Executive Editor. Revised manuscripts and correspondence concerning such manuscripts should be sent to the Executive Editor at the address indicated on the decision letter. Revised manuscripts should be accompanied by a copy of the unrevised version.
Many acceptable papers require minor revision or condensation.
It is in the mutual interest of both the authors and the journal that amended manuscripts be returned promptly. A revised paper will retain its original date of receipt only if it is received by the Executive Editor within 2 months of the date of return to the author. Submit one original hard copy of the manuscript and one original set of figures both electronically and by mail. Conform to the general style of the journal. Write in clear and grammatical English.
