Journal Details
Instructions for AuthorsThe instructions below are specifically directed at authors that wish to submit a manuscript to Structure and Infrastructure Engineering. For general information, please visit the Publish With Us section of our website. Structure and Infrastructure Engineering considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged with all costs which Structure and Infrastructure Engineering incurs and their papers will not be published. Contributions to Structure and Infrastructure Engineering must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editorial Office. Manuscript preparation 1. General guidelines
2. Style guidelines
3. Figures
4. Colour The Journal has no free colour pages within its annual page allowance. Authors of accepted papers who propose publishing figures in colour in the print version should consult Taylor & Francis at proof stage to agree a financial contribution to colour reproduction costs. Figures that appear in black-and-white in the print edition of the Journal will appear in colour in the online edition, assuming colour originals are supplied. 5. Reproduction of copyright material Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table or extensive extract (more than fifty words) from the text of a source that is copyrighted or owned by a party other than Taylor & Francis or the contributor. This applies to direct reproduction as well as ‘derivative reproduction', where the contributor has created a new figure or table that derives substantially from a copyrighted source. Authors are themselves responsible for the payment of any permission fees required by the copyright owner. Copies of permission letters should be sent with the manuscript upon submission to the Editor(s). 6. Supplementary online material Authors are welcome to submit animations, movie files, sound files or any additional information for online publication. Manuscript Submission All submissions should be made online at the Structure and Infrastructure Engineering Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre. Manuscripts should be uploaded in Word or LaTeX format. LaTeX files should be converted to PDF prior to submission because Manuscript Central is not able to convert LaTeX files into PDFs directly and this PDF should be uploaded as the main document. The original LaTeX files should also be uploaded as supplementary data. Copyright and authors' rights It is a condition of publication that authors vest or license copyright in their articles, including abstracts, in Taylor & Francis Ltd. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and the Journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors may, of course, use the material elsewhere after publication providing that prior permission is obtained from Taylor & Francis Ltd. Exceptions are made for authors of Crown or US Government employees whose policies require that copyright cannot be transferred to other parties. We ask that a signed statement to this effect is submitted when returning proofs for accepted papers. Reprints Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website (http://www.informaworld.com/). Reprints of articles published in the Journal can be purchased through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk. Page charges There are no page charges to individuals or institutions. |
