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 must follow the guidance appropriate to the section to which it is submitted and include all required elements, as detailed in the Journal’s Focus and Scope materials, including word limits, document sections, inclusion of ‘notes’, etc.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it under review elsewhere.
  • Submissions that extend previously published conference papers are welcome provided that the journal submission has sufficiently been extended (at least 25-30% of new contribution). Submissions that are extensions of previously published conference papers must be accompanied by a cover letter outlining the new contributions.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Journal Layout Template (Word, LaTeX), is written in English, and provides URLs and DOIs for the references where available.
  • Author lists contain all those, and only those, who meet the JLA criteria for authorship by (1) making substantial contributions to study conception, design, or analysis and interpretation; (2) being involved in the writing of the manuscript; and (3) approval of and responsibility for the final version. All authors must adhere to Journal Policies, including the Authorship Statement.
