Articles should preferably be typed in Microsoft Word and saved as a .doc file (no .rtf files etc.)
You can submit your article by emailing it to the relevant section editor.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of writing for the paper, feel free to email any of the editors (if you wish, you can make an appointment to meet them in advance by emailing the relevant editor).
