Revision
All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer
review, normally by at least two referees. If a
manuscript is returned for revision, the
corresponding author will be instructed to
complete this exercise by a specific date; if an
extension is required please contact the Editorial
Assistant. It is expected that a manuscript
accepted for publication in
Wildfowl
is in a form
which is satisfactory to the author/s and will
therefore not require changes at proof stage,
other than the correction of errors occurring
during the preparation for printing.
Pre-publication
Proofs will be sent to the correspondence author
by e-mail, as an Acrobat PDF (portable document
format) file. Acrobat Reader will be required in
order to read this file. This software can be
downloaded (free of charge) from the following
web site:
readstep2.html
Only minor alterations may be accepted at
this stage, unless approved by the Editor. Proofs
must be returned to the editorial office by first
class/air mail and by the date given. Alternatively,
authors may use email to submit amendments
providing the changes are clear and concise. The
Editor reserves the right to correct the proofs,
using the accepted version of the typescript, if
the author’s amendments are overdue and the
journal would otherwise be delayed. Proofs
should be checked very carefully. It is the
corresponding author’s responsibility to ensure
that proofs are correct in every respect.
Reprints
Following publication, an electronic (PDF) copy
of the paper will be sent to the corresponding
author by e-mail. The PDF file will be sent to
other authors of the paper on request. Papers will
also be available for download from the WWT
website at
