With the continued development of online publishing methods and technology, there is an increasing demand from authors and the research community to offer supplementary content along with the final published article. Supplementary content may take the form of data sets or multimedia files, allowing the online version of an article to deliver significant enhancements compared to the printed copy. informaworld^TM is able to support a variety of file types, thereby offering a flexible approach to hosting supplementary content across the entire Taylor & Francis Group journal list.

Where possible, you should include the supplementary content when submitting your manuscript. Upon acceptance, supplementary content will enter the production workflow together with the manuscript, providing ample opportunity for us to liaise with you to resolve any queries prior to publication. Typically you may have queries regarding the type of files that may be submitted and guidelines on file size where audiovisual files are submitted. Both these points will be addressed in more detail below.

For articles with supplementary content, informaworld^TM features a Multimedia tab which holds the content and provides links from which the reader may download the content (Figure 1). The supplementary material is accessible via the Multimedia tab or by clicking on the film clip icon appended to the article title, as in the example available at www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a777683955. Any files hosted on a Multimedia tab are subject to the same access control system as the article itself, thereby restricting access to legitimate users. Depending on the requirements of the particular article, it is also possible to incorporate a URL into the article text which will link directly to a supplementary file hosted on informaworld^TM.

Where possible, individual supplementary files should be kept to 10 MB or less in order to help ensure reasonable download speeds. However, we do appreciate that in some circumstances individual files may exceed 10 MB in size and we are as flexible as possible in accommodating our authors and readers alike.
