4.0 Administration

Receipt of a paper will be acknowledged, and the paper will be given a reference number, which authors are asked to quote on all their subsequent correspondence. If no such acknowledgement has been received after a reasonable period of time, authors should check with the Editorial Office as to whether the paper or the acknowledgement has gone astray.

4.1 Editorial policy

Every paper will be considered by the Editor-in-Chief, and then passed to the relevant Associate Editor, who will then consult with at least two referees, by whose advice the Editorial Board will be guided as to its acceptability. Submission of a manuscript will be regarded as an undertaking that the same material is not being considered for publication by another journal.
