Submission Guidelines
Submission
Contributors should prepare their manuscript in English according to the style of the journal and submit the paper via GNC’s Online Submission platform. The source files of the manuscript in the form of MS Word or LaTex2e will be required after the paper's acceptance.
Submission of a manuscript indicates a tacit understanding that the paper is not under consideration for publication with other journals. All contributions should be written in English with a brief abstract, a list of keywords and the author's mailing address. Authors are requested to put on the manuscript the e-mail address of the corresponding author to which proofs should be sent.
All figures should be submitted with clear captions in separate encapsulated post-script files or image files of at least 300 dpi.
Authors using PC- or Mac-based word-processors should follow the PDF formatting instructions in the relevant LaTeX/MS-Word package at the bottom of this page. Any manuscript, which does not conform to the instructions issued may be returned to authors for revision before review/acceptance/publication. Upon acceptance, authors are required to submit their source files — including all figure files for submission in TEX/MS-Word.
World Scientific encourages authors for whom English is not their first language to seek assistance from a fluent English speaker prior to submission. Alternatively, authors may contact organisations like Enago for assistance. This makes it easier for the editors and reviewers to check your manuscript. World Scientific reserves the right to return manuscripts written in poor English without review.
