Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the corresponding author will be sent a proof copy of the paper prior to publication, however, it is the responsibility of the author(s) to ensure that their manuscript is in its definitive version prior to submission.

Please note that all articles are formatted to the 'house style' of the journal.

We recommend that authors carefully check their paper for inconsistencies in spelling, grammar and typography. British spellings should be used throughout and where there is an alternative use s- rather than z- endings.

English Language Editing
Author(s), and particularly Author(s) for whom English is not their primary language, may wish to consider having their manuscript professionally edited prior to submission. English language editing can highlight problems with grammar, spelling, punctuation and word-choice, and improve clarity of meaning, readability and suitability for publication in an academic journal.
