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

% The Editorial Board is anxious to reach decisions as quickly as
% possible. Firstly, please acknowledge receipt of this form by e-mail
% to jcm@lms.ac.uk and at the same time tell us your estimate of when
% you will return the report. The default time, when we send out the
% first reminder, is 8 weeks, but we can change this according to your
% estimate. Please send your report by e-mail to jcm@lms.ac.uk. This
% is a text version of the referee's form, and there is also a LaTeX
% version, available on request from jcm@lms.ac.uk.
%
% You should receive thanks and an acknowledgement from us within
% seven days of the receipt of your report. If you do not hear from
% us, the report may have been lost in transit, so please contact
% jcm@lms.ac.uk.
%
% Here is some more 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. Objective and
% carefully reasoned referees' reports are 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 to review the paper,
% please let us know immediately. In this case, we would be grateful
% if you could suggest another suitable referee.
%
% On completion, please send this report to jcm@lms.ac.uk.
