Instructions for Authors
This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.
For Manuscript Central technical support, you may contact them by e-mail or phone support via http://scholarone.com/services/support/. If you have any other requests please contact the journal's Managing Editor at Managingeditor.fio@gmail.com.
General Information. The text of the manuscript should be prepared using MS Word and should be clearly labeled with the authors' names, file name and software program.
Illustrations, figures and tables should be separated from the text and submitted electronically as described in a foregoing paragraph. Each manuscript must be accompanied with a signed agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher and a short biography of each author. An electronic copyright form can be found at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/copyright.asp. If you experience trouble retrieving this form, please email the Managing Editor directly at Managingeditor.fio@gmail.com to request one.
Affiliation. On the title page include (in the following order) manuscript title, names of authors, affiliations and the address of the author to whom proofs and correspondence should be sent, including an email address and telephone number.
Abstract and Keywords. Each article should be summarized in an Abstract of no more than one hundred (100) words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams and reference to the text. Manuscript Central will guide you through each step of the submission process including a section specifically for keywords. Spelling,Hyphenation and Scientific Notation. All manuscripts should be thoroughly checked for spelling and grammatical errors prior to submission. The spelling and hyphenation authority is Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (most current edition). The System International (SI) or modern metric units are to be used. If some data are traditionally quoted in the English system, they can be put in parentheses following the metric unit, e.g. 0.47 GN/m2 (68,000 psi).
Equations. Equations should be neatly typed, punctuated, aligned to bring out their structure, and numbered on the right. Use “X” rather than a centered dot, except when using scalar products of vectors. The diagonal line (/) should be used instead of built-up fractions in the running text, and in display unless the denominator is complicated. The symbol exp [ ] instead of e( ) should be used for complicated arguments of the exponential function.
