Papers will be reviewed according to criteria set by the JVST and must meet JVST standards for both technical content and written English. All manuscripts are refereed to the same standards as regular JVST submissions. Papers will be accepted with the understanding that the authors honor the normal page charges of the JVST. Note that acceptance to present at the conference does not guarantee the acceptance of the manuscript. To be published in JVST, the manuscript must:
(1) present original findings, conclusions or analysis that have not been published previously by the authors or others,
(2) be free of errors and ambiguities,
(3) support conclusions with data and analysis,
(4) be written clearly, and
(5) have high impact in its field, which must be within the scope of topics covered by the journal.
Submit your manuscripts to the JVST journal, chosen for your specific conference, using the journals’ online manuscript submission system, the JVST Peer X-Press site:
Note: Authors should select “Regular Article” as the type of paper within the conference special issue (not Letter, Shop Note, etc.) In preparing your article, you should follow the instructions for contributors, which may be found on the Information for Contributors link at
http://avspublications.org/jvstb/authors/information_for_contributors
Authors are encouraged to use the JVST templates. The easiest way to prepare your manuscript is to use the available JVST Article Template to delete and replace text as necessary. Click here for the JVST Template for MS Word. This file and the template used to create it are attached/available through your conference site/chair and at the site above.
It is very IMPORTANT that authors indicate to which conference the paper is submitted. Online, you will have an opportunity to tell us that your paper is a part of a conference by choosing “Conference Paper” under the article type and then the conference name from a list.
Acceptable manuscript file types are MSWord, LaTeX, and PDF. For the initial submission/review process, a single PDF or MSWord file including the figures is sufficient. However, once a paper is accepted, MSWord or TeX file of the text, any tables and the list of figure captions along with the separate figure files will be required for final production. Use of color in Figures is encouraged. Your FIGURES CAN APPEAR ONLINE IN COLOR FOR FREE. Prepare illustrations in the final published size, not oversized or undersized.
For any other details about manuscript preparation, please refer to the JVST B (www.jvstb.org) journal web page, Author tab, Information for Contributors.
Manuscript deadline: June 29, 2012
Note: Please observe the deadline to allow for timely processing. JVST will try to include papers submitted after this deadline with the conference, but these papers may appear in a later issue.
