Authors should confirm they have cleared all copyrighted work for publication and agree that they will indemnify the editors against claims for defamation, copyright infringement or plagiarism. All authors will be asked to sign a contract confirming this.
Process:
Papers are sent to at least two referees for comment. On return, your paper will be accepted, accepted following editing as identified by the referees, or refused.
