Drugs of the Future - Advanced Publication

With the goal of disseminating its content as quickly as possible, Drugs of the Future now posts articles on its World Wide Web site in advance of publication in the print journal.
An article is posted online after it has been accepted for publication in the journal.

All articles will appear in a print issue as well as on the World Wide Web site and will be posted on the Advanced Publication page prior to assignment to a particular print issue.

Electronic Submission
Diskette The final hard copy of the manuscript and version on diskette must be the same. If they differ, the hard copy will be used.
Forward the files on a 3 1/2" HD (1.44 MB) diskette formatted for use on a PC. Save the "text" files in one of the following word-processing formats: WordPerfect for DOS or Microsoft Word for Windows. If the files are submitted on a Macintosh diskette, the only acceptable word-processing format is Word. Clearly label the diskette with the name of the document(s), the format in which they have been saved and the diskette type (PC or Mac).
Whenever possible, electronic versions of figures should be sent, preferably as BMP, WMF, TIF or GIF files.
The diskette must be accompanied by one print copy of the article with original figures and tables and sent by airmail or courier service.
Package the diskette so as to avoid damage in transit and mark the envelope: "Magnetic media ?Do not x-ray."
E-mail Save the document(s) in one of the above-mentioned formats and mail to journals@prous.com. Send an accompanying message advising the document length (X words plus Y references + Z tables + N figures) and giving the name of the document(s), the format in which created and the format in which saved for sending.
If transmission does not work, you will be advised to send the manuscript by airmail or courier service.
