Prior to publication

Information on proofs and copyright.

Proofs:
When proofs are submitted to authors, they are stamped with a date for return. If not returned by this date, it cannot be guaranteed that the author's corrections will be made, so it is advisable that authors supply an address where they can be reached at all times, eg not a school address if post is not forwarded during the holidays.

Copyright:
When galley proofs are sent out, they are accompanied by a transfer of copyright form which must be signed by the author(s) and returned to us before we can publish the article. The author assigns all copyright in the article to the publishers.
