Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor). While the manuscript is undergoing the peer review phase, the authors will not submit the manuscript to another journal without notifying the editor.
• The submission file is in Microsoft Word, RTF, or PDF document file format.
• The text is double-spaced; uses a 11-point Arial font; employs justified paragraphs; and all figures and tables are placed within the text, including also progressive numbered captions. If material which has already been published is used, a copy of the written permission for the reproduction and adaptation has to be provided before publication. The procedure for requesting the permission is the responsibility of the Authors. If abbreviations are used in the text, authors are required to write full name+abbreviation in brackets [e.g., integrated water flow model (IWFM)] the first time they are used, then only abbreviations can be written (apart from titles; in this case authors have to write always the full name).
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
• Authors are kindly required to suggest at least four potential reviewers (name, affiliation and e-mail) for their manuscript in the "Comments to the Editor" field (Step 1. Submission Process).
