JCAL ‘standard’ keywords

Just to provide some kind of rationalisation, I have created (with input from previous authors) a list of ‘standard’ terms. It is just a DRAFT and will be updated with the suggestions of future authors.

Please select at least one keyword from each of the first five groups and maybe one from the last group. Also, DO NOT restrict yourself to these words if there is something in your paper better described by another word but try to keep to the standard set as much as possible.

Overall, I have space for six or seven keywords for each published paper.

Thanks for your help over this, Bob Lewis
