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.

1. 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).

2. The submitted manuscript is written in good English (American or British) and has been 'spell-checked' and 'grammar-checked'. After a manuscript has been accepted by reviewers, we require from our authors to provide us with a manuscript version that is copyedited for English. Without this step the manuscript can not be processed by a layout editor.

3. The submitted manuscript is in PDF format and the size of the PDF file is less than 8MB. Additional files (data, code, large images, ...) may be provided as supplementary files after finishing the submission.

4. The submitted manuscript includes on its title page

   • manuscript title,
   • all authors, including their affiliations,
   • the corresponding author and her/his contact information (full postal address, e-mail address),
   • abstract,
   • key words (at least 3).

5. The submitted PDF proof text is single-spaced and single-column; uses a 12-point font for both text and mathematics; employs italics, rather than underlining; and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

6. If submitting a revised manuscript, a separate PDF document is to be submitted, explaining comment by comment the response to the reviewers' comments and changes made in the paper.

7. Algorithms have been typeset appropriately, according to guidelines given in sample.pdf, Section 3 (Algorithms).

8. Mathematics (both equations and math within the text and figures) has been typeset appropriately, according to guidelines given in sample.pdf, Section 4 (Equations).

9. No table in the manuscript spans multiple pages, see guidelines in sample.pdf, Section 2.1 (Tables).

10. If submitting the final PDF manuscript version, also

    • the LaTeX source of the submission shall be  provided; if you have troubles working with LaTeX, Microsoft Word document file can be accepted instead of LaTeX source; note however, that conversion from MS Word to LaTeX is a manual, slow and error-prone process that may significantly prolong the layout editing time,
    • all tables are typeset within the text and not provided as images,
    • all images are provided as separate PDF or EPS files according to guidelines in Section 2 (Figures and Tables) of sample.pdf,
    • the list of references has been formatted according the rules outlined in Section 5 (References) in sample.pdf.
