Submission
To ensure your response to a published article is timely, please submit your letter as soon as possible after publication of the original paper and the Editors will endeavor to include your letter in the next issue of the journal.
All letters submitted to Expert Series journals are subject to review by members of the Editorial Board. This is to ensure that only letters of high quality and sound scientific principles are published. The Editorial Board members are not expected to comment on whether or not they agree with the content of the letter.
Once the letter has been accepted for publication the author can expect a galley proof.
It is at the Editor’s discretion whether or not to publish the letter. The Editors reserve the right to abridge and edit the letter in any way necessary. We will not publish responses, for example, that are, or appear to be, obscene, libellous, in some other way illegal or incomprehensible.
Author response
All Letters to the Editor will be sent to the author of the original article, who will have 28 days to provide a response to be published alongside the Letter.
Copyright
You will be asked to transfer copyright to Informa UK Limited following acceptance of the letter for publication.
