The basic philosophy is to achieve a balance between experimental and theoretical approaches. Even basically theoretical contributions should be such that experimentalist will benefit from being aware of them. We would rarely consider pure "case histories", unless very difficult experimental issues were solved. We would usually also expect that theoretical aspects be supported by experimental verifications, and not just simulations. In most cases, the critical assessment of any results would be one of the major criteria looked for. These guidelines are of course somewhat general, and some flexibility in judging papers will always be a necessity.
