good news for authors about the printing of colour figures

For the remainder of 2007, colour figures in JTH will be charged at a rate of US $800 per page. This is a reduction from the previous fee of $800 per figure, benefitting authors publishing multiple colour figures that can be arranged on one page.

We are also pleased to announce Colour on the Web. This free service enables authors to publish in black and white in the printed journal but in full colour in the online version. Authors wishing to take advantage of this service need only inform the editorial office upon acceptance of their manuscript.
