Notice to contributorsThe British Journal of Industrial Medicine is intendedfor the publication of original contributions relevant tooccupational and environmental medicine, includingfundamental toxicological studies of industrial and ag-ricultural chemicals. Short papers relating to particularexperience in occupational medicine may be submitted.Ethical considerations will be taken into account whena paper is considered for publication.Notes and miscellanea will deal with brief observa-

tions relevant to industrial medicine which do notwarrant a full paper, such as individual case histories,preliminary reports, or modifications to analyticalmethods. Extended book reviews may also be included.

All papers submitted for publication should be referredto The Editor, British Journal of Industrial Medicine,Nuffield Department of Industrial Health, 21 ClaremontPlace, The University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4AA.

Papers are accepted on the understanding that theyare contributed solely to this Journal, and that they aresubject to editorial revision. Papers should be prefacedby an abstract of the argument and findings; this abstractshould be more comprehensive than a summary, whichwill not be required. Papers must be typewritten on oneside of the paper only, in double spacing, and with awide margin. Both SI units and their equivalents shouldbe given throughout (Baron et al., Journal of ClinicalPathology, 27, 590). Photographs and photomicrographsshould be printed on glossy paper and should beunmarked. Charts and graphs accompanying papersshould be carefully drawn in black ink on tracing linenor Bristol board or stout, smooth, white paper; anylettering should be lightly inserted in pencil.

References References will not be checked by theeditorial office; responsibility for the accuracy andcompleteness of references lies with the author. In thetext the year of publication in brackets must follow theauthor's name. At the end of the paper, referencesshould be arranged in alphabetical order of authors'names. Such references should give the iuthor's name,followed by initials and year of publication in brackets,the title of the article, the name of the journal (in full)in which the article appeared, the volume number inarabic numerals, followed by the numbers of the firstand last pages of the article. When a book is referred to,the place and year of publication, edition, and pagenumber of the reference quoted should be given.

Proofs Contributors will receive one proof, but it isassumed that all but verbal corrections have been madein the original manuscript.

Reprints Twenty-five free reprints of articles will besent to contributors. A limited number of additionalreprints at cost price can be supplied if application ismade when returning proofs. An estimate of costs willbe given on application to the Publishing Manager,British Medical Association.
