These permissions should be sent upon acceptance of manuscripts for publication.

The title of the paper, all author names and corresponding affiliations, and name and complete address for mailing proofs should be included on a separate page, because manuscripts are sent out for blind review. Include telephone and fax numbers and email address for the corresponding author.
