Manuscripts submitted may not be under consideration by any other journal and generally should not have been published in any journal or other citable form, excluding manuscripts deposited on a preprint server. 

Authors must ensure that no material contained in the manuscript infringes existing copyrights or the rights of a third party.

The publisher is legally obliged to ensure that journals do not publish libelous or defamatory material.  Where manuscripts appear to contain this journal editors together with the authors and the publisher if necessary will work together to ensure an appropriate resolution is found.

Upon submission authors must indicate their consent to the terms and conditions of submission, which includes points concerning suitable ethical conduct in respect to human and animal research standards.  Articles containing information or clinical photographs on individual patients must have documented consent to publish from patients available.  Authorship contributions made by scientific/medical writers must be suitably acknowledged.  Conflicts of interest must be disclosed in the published article. All incoming manuscripts are scanned by CrossCheck plagiarism detection.

All submissions excluding editorials are subject to blind peer review by two expert peer reviewers drawn from the editorial board, peer reviewer pool, or Pubmed by order of preference.  Editorial decisions are made by the Editor in Chief or Associate Editor on the basis of the peer reviewer reports received, except where the Editor in Chief or Associate Editor is in a conflict of interest, where another Editor in Chief stands-in.

The publisher maintains web-based systems enabling editorial decisions to be made efficiently, but observes a strict division between editorial decisions, which are never made by the publisher under any circumstances, and business decisions that are made by the publisher.
