%% EXPLANATORY NOTES AND GUIDELINES
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


% Here is some general guidance on what we are looking for:

% A referee should assess the originality, correctness, importance and
% interest of an article. Ultimately, responsibility for correctness
% lies with the author but we do ask that referees evaluate the
% correctness of the major results. Editors also expect to receive
% views on matters such as the balance between achievement and
% length, how a paper compares with other work on related subjects
% published in leading journals, and the quality of exposition.
% Referees should bear in mind that the Society receives
% significantly more good material than it has resources to print.
% In view of the competition for publication space, the Editors must
% turn away some well-recommended items. Objective and carefully
% reasoned referees' reports are therefore greatly valued by the
% Editors. The LMS will respect the confidentiality of your identity
% as a referee and you should not, under any circumstances,
% communicate directly with the author(s) yourself. Under data
% protection legislation, any part of the report may be requested by
% the authors but information will only be given after all possible
% features have been removed from the report that could identify you
% as the referee. Parts of the report that are considered helpful to
% the authors in preparing a better paper may be sent to them by the
% Editors.

% If, for any reason, you are now unwilling or unable to review the paper,
% please let us know immediately. In this case, we would be grateful
% if you could suggest another suitable referee.

% Yours sincerely,


% Ben Holmes
% Senior Assistant Editor
