Distribution

Currently there are about 500 recipients including a number of supporting organisations such as local government authorities and cycling industry organisations. Complimentary issues are also often supplied to other relevant parties such as central government agencies.

CAN members can choose to receive ChainLinks in any of three formats:

• As a paper copy, posted out to you
• As an electronic PDF file, emailed to you (typically 0.5-1.0 MB big)
• As a link to the PDF file on our website, emailed to you

An electronic version of ChainLinks is placed on the CAN website approximately 1-2 months after publication, for public viewing. Members have access to the website version without delay.

If you want to receive more than one version, that's fine! Contact Adrian at secretary@can.org.nz or c/o PO Box 6491 to change your current method of delivery.

Editorial Policy

CAN welcomes contributions to ChainLinks that are relevant to and broadly in line with CAN's aims (stated below for your information):

• To increase public and official recognition of the benefits of (more) cycling.
• To increase safety for cyclists by educating cyclists and other road users and by improving provision for cyclists in transport planning and engineering.
• To promote the development of a cycling environment that is convenient, accessible, safe, comprehensive, connected, pleasant, and constructed to standards reflecting international best practice.
• To develop cycle advocacy and cycle action. To encourage cycle tourism.
• To promote the integration of cycle and transport planning with planning in areas like housing, land use, education, health and the environment.

Contributions may include articles, reviews, notices, news, photos or pictures, letters to the Editor, and anything else considered interesting to the CAN readership. Items obtained from elsewhere (i.e. non-original) must include adequate details of their source and copyright. Publication of any item is not an endorsement of the views presented.

Articles should generally focus on issues rather than personalities and should avoid discriminatory language.

Where appropriate and practicable, the right of reply will be given in the same issue or, failing that, in the following issue.

All contributors must provide adequate contact details and any relevant affiliations. Where there is potential ambiguity, contributors should indicate whether the material represents a personal or organisational opinion.

Electronic submission of material is preferred . The Editor reserves the right to decide whether to publish material, either in full or in condensed form. Written contributions should generally be no longer than 2 A5 pages (1000 words), unless previously agreed with the Editor.

Every effort will be made to publish contributions in a timely manner. However, where space constraints dictate, the Editor may choose to publish submitted material in a later issue of ChainLinks. Contributors should advise of any "publish by date" after which publication should not occur.

Any misrepresentation by ChainLinks or CAN, through genuine error and subsequently brought to the Editor's attention, will be corrected or retracted at the earliest opportunity.
