How to Submit a Manuscript
Length: The maximum length of a paper should be 20 typed (3,000 to 5,000 words), double-spaced pages for submission.
Organization: Manuscripts usually consist of these parts: title, authors' names and institutional affiliations, abstract, introduction, body, conclusions, references, figures, and tables. Appendixes, acknowledgments, and a list of symbols are sometimes desirable.
The title should briefly and clearly cover the subject of the paper. An abstract (of about 200 words) should be self-explanatory and summarize the paper's essential points. The introduction should spell out the problem, briefly review the relevant previous work, and clearly state the purpose and significance of the paper.
