Matthews CH, Borgato S, Beck-Peccoz P, Adams M, Tone Y, Gambino G et al . Please note that papers with incorrectly formatted references will be returned and the acceptance date changed to the date of receipt of the correctly formatted paper. Figures should be supplied separately from their legends, and each figure should be clearly numbered and on a separate page. Good quality laser-printed output is ideal for line drawings, and this should not be photographed to give a glossy print. Avoid the use of shading and stripes as these are difficult to reproduce.
Original photographs are essential for all half-tone images and colour work.
Please mark the reverse of all copies of any figure that needs to be wider than this for clear presentation. Authors will be asked to pay the costs of any colour reproduction, but these will be kept to a minimum. EPS and TIF files can be accepted provided they are accompanied by good quality paper copies. Figure legends should enable the figure to be understood in isolation from the main text. Unusual abbreviations should be defined.
