Electronic page proofs will be sent to authors if time permits, in PDF format, via email. Any essential corrections must be notified immediately to the publisher. Major corrections are not acceptable.

Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or alternatively, corresponding authors may receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author’s preferential rate of £15/US$25 per copy.
