Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in PDF or Microsoft Word document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the Journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.
  • All co-authors of the manuscript have been added in the system.

Author Guidelines

Manuscripts should be written in English. Whenever applicable, submissions should include the following elements: title, abstract, index terms, main text, and references; but not include authors' names and affiliations. Submitted manuscripts (in PDF) should be formatted into A4-size, single-spaced, single-column pages, using a 12-point font for main text. Regular research paper submissions should ideally not exceed 15 single-spaced pages in length, including tables and figures. This length should correspond roughly to 7 pages in print (single-spaced, two-column format). Authors are recommended to use the LaTeX template.

Revised and Final Version Submission

Submissions of revised manuscripts should follow the same guidelines as for manuscript submissions, plus that revised manuscript submissions must include a short summary about the modifications the authors have made and their response to reviewers' comments. 

Upon formal acceptance of a manuscript for publication, instructions for providing the final materials required for publication will be sent to the Corresponding Author. Final version of a paper accepted for publication should be prepared in LaTeX or WORD.
