Copyright

An author, when quoting from someone else's work or when considering reproducing an illustration or table from a book or journal article, should make sure that he is not infringing a copyright.

Although in general an author may quote from other published works, one should obtain permission from the holder of the copyright if he or she wishes to make substantial extracts or to reproduce tables, plates, or other illustrations. If the copyright-holder is not the author of the quoted or reproduced material, it is recommended that the permission of the author should also be sought.

Material in unpublished letters and manuscripts is also protected and must not be published unless permission has been obtained.

A suitable acknowledgment of any borrowed material must always be made.

Proofs

One set of page proofs in PDF format will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author, to be checked for typesetting/editing. No changes in, or additions to, the accepted (and subsequently edited) manuscript will be allowed at this stage. Proofreading is solely the author’s responsibility.

A form with queries from the editor may accompany your proofs. Please answer all queries and make any corrections or additions required.

The Publisher reserves the right to proceed with publication if corrections are not communicated. Return corrections need be within two working days of receipt of the proofs. Should there be no corrections, please confirm this.
