Authors’ checklist for presentation of final version

Before sending us your final version, please be sure that the presentation of the paper conforms to the following basic guidelines. Please also refer to the submission guidelines at www.ippublishing.com

 

• The text should be double-spaced.

• Sections should not be numbered: the text should be divided by subheadings, as detailed in our notes for authors.

• The title page must include author names as they are to appear in the journal and full contact details (full mailing address, phone, fax, e-mail) for at least the corresponding author. For all non-corresponding authors, at minimum there should be an affiliation (department and institution or equivalent, city and country). Fuller details are not essential for non-corresponding authors, but will be welcome and will be reproduced in the published version.

• Tables and figures should be presented on separate pages (using ‘page breaks’) at the end of the paper and not in the body of the text. We shall place them as near as possible to the first textual reference to them. Tables and figures must all have captions. Colour coding is best avoided in figures, as the print edition of the journal is in black and white. If figures were originally prepared in Excel, we can often get better results from the Excel file than from the imported graphic in the Word document, so it is advisable to supply the Excel files as well in such cases.

• Tables should be prepared using the Word ‘insert Table’ tool and not using the text tabs, which cause instability and alignment errors. They should also not be presented as graphics as this can cause editing problems.

• Numbering of tables and figures. Tables and figures should be numbered separately (that is, Table 1 and Figure 1, not Table 1 and Figure 2). In all cases they should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in the paper. Please note that maps, photos, charts etc. should all be called figures (not Map 1, Photo 1, etc.). There must be a textual reference to all figures and tables.

• All acronyms should be spelt out in full the first time they are used, with the acronym in parentheses.

• All references to the work or comments of others should be supported by full bibliographical citations in the reference list (please see our notes for authors for referencing style).

• Please make sure that your paper has an abstract of around 100-150 words and between 3 and 6 keywords.

• The paper should be submitted in Word. A PDF would also be appreciated so that we can use this as a reference copy in case of software glitches.

• Please ensure that you have included any acknowledgements you may wish to make.

 

We look forward to receiving your full papers.

Haiyan, ShiNa and Steve
