Proofs
Proofs will be sent directly to the authors by the publisher and should be returned immediately after correction. The corresponding author will receive an email containing the proof as a PDF (portable document format) file.

This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following website: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and/or printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof.

Offprints
A PDF offprint will be provided to each contributor. Printed offprints may be purchased from the publisher according to a scale of charges.

Text
Text, References and a list of Figure captions should be included, without any character and paragraph style formatting. The preferred format is Microsoft Word 2007 or earlier. Turn off hyphenation; one font size throughout; do not justify at the right; do not indent paragraphs; do not use bold text in headings.

Headings and subheadings: type these at the left margin (do not center nor indent), utilizing the following simplified hierarchy:

(a) uppercase throughout (no full point at the end), preceded and followed by two hard returns

(b) upper (first letter of the first word) and then lower case (no full point at the end) preceded and followed by two hard returns

(c) upper (first letter of the first word) and then lower case (no full point at the end), preceded and followed by two spaces, then text.


Separate all paragraphs with two hard returns.

References

Separate all references by two hard returns; do not indent turnover lines (the second and subsequent lines of a reference). Tables must be in separate files from the text: the preferred format is Microsoft EXCEL. Figures must be in separate files from the text: the preferred formats are TIFF or EPS (see above).
