Once you have submitted the final version of your article to the Executive Editor, it will be typeset and a first proof will be sent as soon as possible as a pdf file. This will consist of the copy‐edited text, followed by the figures and tables. Queries from the Executive Editor may be embedded within the file. At this stage, authors are expected not to request any changes to the text, tables or figures aside from those required in response to queries from the Executive Editor, due to spelling or grammatical errors, or due to factual errors. Authors are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of proof corrections.
A final proof will then be prepared with the figures and tables placed appropriately within the text. Authors will be sent a copy as a pdf file but are expected not to request any changes aside from any lingering spelling or grammatical corrections, or corrections of fact.
On publication, authors will receive, free‐of‐charge, a pdf version of the article and one hard‐copy of the journal.
