Instructions for Accepted Authors

Please follow the guidelines below in preparing your manuscript for production.

Add the following below the title of your paper:

1. Up to six key words
2. Each author’s Name, Department, University, and E-mail.
3. Any acknowledgments
4. Instructions for accessing reproducibility package (unless exempted)

Separate your paper into separate files as follows:

1. Text
   • Any supplemental material should be submitted in a separate file, as detailed below.
   • The desired approximate placement of tables and figures should be referenced in the text (e.g.) – Figure 1 about here –, preferably between paragraphs.
   • Any tables or figures should be placed at the end of the document.
2. Bibliography
   • References in the file should be formatted according to ASR format
3. Tables
   • Closely follow the instructions in the “Guidelines for Table Preparation”
   • Tables may be submitted as Word files, Excel files, or LaTeX files. Do not submit tables as PDF files.
4. Supplemental Materials (appendixes) if applicable
   • One file with any supplementary materials (appendixes)
   • Be sure to edit paper text to refer to supplemental materials when appropriate since they will be published as separate documents.
   • Please refer to any supplemental materials in the main text as an “online supplement”
   • Supplemental materials will not be copy-edited or typeset in LaTeX; we will make PDFs of the materials you submit, so please make sure you are comfortable with your supplement as is.
5. Figures
   1. Figures must be submitted in EPS, PNG or PDF image file formats.
   2. We encourage the use of colors in figures.
   3. Each line should be a different sequence( e.g. Line 1 – solid, Line 2 – dotted) This method insures readers will be able to distinguish each line when printed in black and white.
   4. Do not include figure captions in the submitted image file; these will be added in typesetting.
   5. Please avoid including borders around the margins of the figure.

After preparing all of your files, please combine them into a single zip-file for upload. 

To upload the final files, please use the link provided in the email you received after submitting the publication agreement.
