Vol. 4 - 1982 Pharmaceuti~ch Weekblad Scientific Edition NOTICE

Introduction of Vancouver style The Editorial Board of Pharmaceutisch Weekblad Scientific Edition has decided to adopt the 'Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals'. These requirements, usually referred to as the 'Vancouver style' after the meeting in Vancouver in January 1978 where they were agreed upon, have been published in several journals, e.g. a summary appeared recently in Br. Med. J. (1982) 284, I766-I77O. Authors are advised to consult these requirements. In forthcoming issues of Pharmaceu-

tisch Weekblad Scientific Edition a summary of the requirements will be published on the inside back COVer.

We are prepared to start publishing papers in the Vancouver style from Volume 5 (I983), nr. I, so from now on we welcome manuscripts complying with these requirements. Manuscripts in the Harvard style still will be considered if received during I982 and 1983. Starting from January I, 1984 only papers in the Vancouver style will be accepted.
