Copyright: It is a condition of publication that the authors transfer the world copyright of their manuscripts to the Society. All manuscripts should therefore be accompanied by a signed statement that the article is original, is not under consideration or has not been previously published in another journal. Authors will normally be entitled to publish any part of their paper elsewhere provided permission is requested and the usual acknowledgements are given. The assignment of the copyright will not affect subsisting patent rights or arrangements relating to them. Illustrations, tables or quotations from other publications are already copyrighted and can be reproduced only with written permission from the copyright owner. Written permission to use these should accompany the manuscript.
Ethical review: The Editor and Publisher support the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and expect that the authors of papers submitted to the Journal will have obtained ethical consent and followed those legal and regulatory requirements for human experimentation with drugs, including informed consent, according to procedures which apply in their institution and country.
Authority and responsibility: The intellectual content of the paper is the responsibility of the authors. The Editor and the Publisher accept no responsibility for opinions and statements of authors. While every effort will be made by the Editor and Publisher to avoid inaccurate and misleading data, they accept no liability whatsoever for the consequences of wrong information. The authors agree to keep the Editor and Publisher fully and effectually indemnified against any liability or claims that may arise out of the publication of inaccurate and/or misleading data.
Submission of manuscripts: Articles will be published in the following classifications: Original research articles, Reviews, Case reports, and Letters to the Editor. Authors should submit three copies of their manuscript and three sets of original illustrations and retain one copy for reference. The manuscript should clearly designate one author as correspondent to whom proofs will also be sent, and the full postal address, telephone number and facsimile number of this individual should be given. Manuscripts may be submitted on 3.5 inch disk using any standard program, but a hard copy of the manuscript is always required. Please specify which type of computer and program has been used and label the disk with your name, the name of the file on the disk and the Journal title. It is important that the file on disk is identical to the hard copy submitted.
