8. Should we like your proposal, we will ask to see further material, but please do not assume that your manuscript has been accepted for publication. All that it means is that we would like to see the complete manuscript before taking a final decision.

9. If we accept your manuscript, you will be formally notified by one of our editors and terms will then be agreed and contracts signed. Until then, please note that we cannot assume any liability whatsoever for your proposal/manuscript.

10. If your submission has been turned down, please do not resubmit it as it will not be looked at.
