Papers presented before the SOCIF. T¾ OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS or one of its sections are the property of the SOCIETY and may not be published in or submitted to other journals. Only if the JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS is unable to publish a presented paper may it be published in another journal of the author's choice. The Publication Committee will attempt to process all manuscripts within 8 weeks of their receipt by the Editor and will advise the author of acceptance, rejection or need for revision. The JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS publishes papers concerned with cosmetics or one of the sciences underlying cosmetics as well as other papers of interest to its members. It is the function of the Publication Committee to set standards, to judge the scientific merit of a paper, and to help in the editing of the paper and its preparation for press. The Publication Committee is charged with the authority to maintain high standards in this JOURNAL. It is, therefore, not the policy of the JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS to guarantee publication of all submitted papers. The JOURNAL publishes i, short preliminary communications (find- ings the interpretation or significance of which are not yet estab- lished), ii, original papers, and iii, review papers. 133
