Author Guidelines

Manuscripts have to be submitted electronically using our Electronic Submission System at http://ojs.nnw.cz. In order to submit a manuscript, an author has to register with the OJS system as an Author first.

If you have troubles logging in or if you are unsure of how to submit a manuscript, please check the related FAQ items first. If you still need help after consulting the FAQ, contact the technical support at nnw.ojs@fd.cvut.cz.

Manuscript preparation

The complete instruction for authors are available as a part of our sample document, which can be downloaded here in PDF format.

We recommend using LaTeX (part of MikTeX on Windows, or TeXLive on Windows and Unixes) for preparing your manuscript, and BibLaTeX+Biber (or BibTeX) to generate your bibliography. Please note that all Microsoft Word files have to be manually converted before publication, and that the conversion is a time consuming and error-prone process. Thus, in general, LaTeX submissions need less time for technical redaction and are therefore being published faster.

The LaTeX class nnw.cls is a part of NNW author's package nnw_author_pack.zip that can be downloaded here.

Template for Word can be downloaded here.

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

Articles

Original unpublished theoretical papers dealing with the above stated problem areas.

Applications

Papers containing innovative applications of the above mentioned problem areas in science, medicine, economy or technology.

In order to make these applications easily understood and reproduced, the scientific journal Neural Network World must insist on the published papers being supported by complete sets of input data as well as source codes related to the applications (a model, a simulation, etc.) There must be a thorough documentation of the data and the code available to enable the possibility of further replication of the results. In case the authors are for some justifiable reason unable to provide either the data or the code or both, this must be clearly stated at the beginning of the submission process. Otherwise, all relevant information has to be made accessible together with a clear description of how it can be obtained. It is solely the authors who are fully responsible for distributing these materials. Consequently, it is the right of the editors not to accept a manuscript for publication if provision of the data and/or the code and/or the details to access these has been considered insufficient.
