Tables, footnotes and figures

Tables should be clear and self-explanatory, without vertical rules. Any footnotes required should be indicated using superscripted symbols.

Footnotes to the main text are acceptable and should be identified by superscripted numbers. Footnotes should also appear on the page of citation.

In Word files, figures can be presented within the text of the paper; however, all figures should be supplied in an electronic format as well (postscript, EPS and TIFF preferred). Figures should be formatted to fit into, or be reduced to, a single (85 mm) or double (178 mm) column width. Please also supply a legend for each figure.

Line illustrations or camera-ready text: these must be of sufficient quality for publication as submitted i.e. clear, clean, sharp and of an even density. Figures will not be redrawn or relabelled. Any lettering or text should be in proportion to the rest of the figure.

Halftones (photographs): halftones should be of sufficient quality with respect to detail, contrast and fineness of grain to withstand the unavoidable loss of contrast inherent in the printing process.

Colour: colour figures are acceptable for publication.
