Notes for authors

Editorial acceptance form

Before publishing your article, we must be in receipt of your signed acceptance form.

Language

Articles should be written in the English language.

Content

Please avoid commercial bias in the article. Only refer to individual products/processes if it is essential to support the technical content of the text.

Word count

Unless stated otherwise, your article should be no less than 1500 words and no more than 2500 words, not including captions or references.

References

References should be numbered and listed at the end of your copy.

Images, graphs and tables

Any digital images must be high resolution: at least 300 dpi and saved in either a JPEG or TIFF format as separate files, not embedded in a MS Word document or similar.

Author’s biography & photograph

Please supply a brief biography and high resolution (at least 300 dpi) photograph of the author(s) to accompany your article.

Editing

The publisher reserves the right to edit any article if necessary, whilst retaining its context.

We are not a peer-reviewed publication.

Once the article has been received by us, it is not our standard practice to send a proof back to the author prior to publication.

Your cooperation on these points will ensure that your article is included at the first available opportunity and reproduced to the highest possible standard.

If you have any further queries regarding the above, please contact Helen Difford on +44(0) 1959 563311.
