Author Guidelines

Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts written using either the provided Microsoft Word or LaTeX templates.

If accepted for publication, an archive containing all source files (*.tex, *.sty, *.cls, *.bib, *.bst, etc.) and images placed in the correct directory structure will need to be uploaded, in addition to the compiled PDF version of the manuscript, during the copyediting stage. Supplementary files such as appendices, data sets, and computer scripts may be submitted along with the manuscript.
