Note for contributors

The editors of the Food and Nutrition Bulletin welcome contributions of relevance to its concerns (see the statement of editorial policy on the inside of the front cover). Submission of an article does not guarantee publication - which depends on the judgement of the editors as to its relevance and quality. Contributors should review recent issues of the Bulletin for content and style.

Language. Contributions may be in English, French, or Spanish. If French or Spanish is used, the author should submit an abstract in English if possible.

Format. Contributions should be typed, double spaced, with ample margins. (When a manuscript has been prepared on a word processor, it will be appreciated if a floppy disk, either 3 -inch or 5 1/4-inch, can be included with the manuscript, with an indication of the disk format and the word-processing program used.) Length. Ordinarily contributions should not exceed 4,000 words.

Tables and figures. Any tables and figures should be on separate sheets of paper. Figures should be clearly and accurately drawn and clearly labelled.Photographs. Ideally photographic materials should be submitted in the form of black and white negatives or black and white glossy prints.

Photographs will not be returned unless a specific request is made.

References. References should be listed at the end of the article, numbered in the order of their appearance in the article, also double-spaced. A reference to a book or other separately published work should include full indication of the name(s) of the author(s), title of the work, and publisher and place and year of publication.
