Each original and review article must have an ABSTRACT of about 100 words and KEYWORDS (not used in the title) for indexing purposes. Each page of the manuscript must be consecutively numbered. Be consistent in use of abbreviations, terminology, and reference citing throughout the manuscript. If your paper is accepted (contingent upon changes that are mandated by referees and/or members of the Editorial Board) you are responsible for all revisions and the return of your revised manuscript to the Editor. Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere nor submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher. Prior to publication, all accepted papers are edited for style and grammar by Taylor & Francis's editors.
