EDITORIAL GUIDELINES

We are an independent publication, offering an entirely objective view of the industry. We do not buy, sell, trade or receive any sort of goods in return for printing editorial which features any given company.

We don’t allow our editorial to be used as a means of promoting a company. Articles may present the newsworthy acts and/or opinions of named companies, but all measures are taken to ensure that articles within KDS magazine reports the objective facts without bias.

Submissions
Submissions may take the form of letters, interviews, articles, news or press releases. All editorial received from third parties is subject to the editor-in chief’s ultimate approval, and submission of an article is no guarantee of publication. All submissions should be made in British English.

Successful submissions will be subject to editing and alteration as the editor-in-chief sees fit. No contact details for any featured company will be published; that is what advertising is for. Where possible, we place a link to the contributing company’s website in the byline for all our features.

Please advise us at the time of submission if any article is time sensitive. If it has been accepted for publication but has an expiry date, it is the responsibility of the contributor to inform us at the time of submission.

Where possible, submissions should be accompanied by a selection of high-resolution images (minimum 300 dpi, in *.png, *.eps or *.jpg format) which should be relevant to the article. Accompanying images should not show any company logo, or at least seek to make any logo present as unobtrusive and indiscernible as possible. Positioning of an article within the magazine is at the discretion of the editorial team.
