Please ensure that you submit editable/source files only (Microsoft Word or RTF) and that your document does not include page numbers; the [journal name] SAGETRACK system will generate them for you, and then automatically convert your manuscript to PDF for peer review. Furthermore, it is imperative that authors remove from their submissions any information that will identify them or their affiliations to reviewers. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revisions, will be by email.
If you would like to discuss your paper prior to submission, or seek advice on the submission process please contact the Editor, h.h.sciences@durham.ac.uk, at the following email address:
Revisions
Authors submitting revised manuscripts should follow the instructions above to submit through the SAGETRACK system. However, if the first versions were submitted prior to SAGETRACK, the system will not know automatically about the previous version. In such cases, authors should check the 'Has this manuscript been submitted previously?' box and give the previous manuscript number in the space below. (If the previous version was submitted through the SAGETRACK
system, following the instructions to submit a revised manuscript will automatically associate your revised version with the original submission) Authors of all revised submissions should when prompted provide information explaining the changes in your manuscript. As this will be provided to reviewers it is important that authors do not identify themselves in these responses.
Preparing your manuscript

- We will also require an abstract; five keywords; and a biographical note of no more than 50 words.
- Your name and details of your institutional affiliation should be provided on a sheet separate from the manuscript, to facilitate the reviewing procedure.
- Finally, it is important that you furnish us with a word-count of your paper.
