Authors Guidance
【官网信息】
General Guidelines
Submission
Manuscript materials should be submitted via the journal’s online manuscript submission system, linked at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/taml/default.aspx.
Acceptable formats for manuscript are LaTex (preferred) and Microsoft Word in single column, while a PDF version is required for the review process. The Latex and Microsoft Word templates can be downloaded at the journal’s website.
The status of submitted paper can be checked on throughout the whole review process.
Copyright
It must be ensured that the manuscript contributed will be submitted to nowhere else but TAML for the first time. However, TAML doesn’t forbid publishing of completed articles with details developed out of letters submitted to TAML by other journals or magazines. In that case, a Copyright-Transfer Agreement Form is required to be submitted together with the manuscript, although the transfer of copyright takes effect only on acceptance of the paper for publication in TAML. Authors can download the form download section and send a copy signed by all authors involved via the online system or email.
Ethics
Authors must follow the publishing ethics guideline of CSTAM (http://taml.cstam.org.cn/news/PublicationEthicsPolicy.htm) and present honest works. The research results should be recorded and reproducible and provable. Every paper submitted to TAML goes through international peer review process and the decision is made based on the peer review reports.
Language
Papers should be written in English, and authors are completely responsible for the language. Poor English may cause rejection of the paper or additional charge for language proofreading.
Length
For LETTER-type article, there is no heading or subheading, and the manuscript should only contain title, keywords, abstract, main body, acknowledgment, and reference. We expect your submission as letter-type to be no more than 3,000 words and up to 6 figures.
For full ARTICLE, the main body divide into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (The abstract and acknowledgement are not included in section numbering). We expect your submission as article-type to be no more than 8,000 words and up to 12 figures.
For PERSPECTIVE, the length is limited within 2 pages as 2,000 words.
Title
The title should be concise but informative.
Abstract
The abstract should be within 150 words. References cited in the abstract must include complete source information. Do not cite reference numbers in the abstract. No figures or tables can be contained in the abstract.
Keywords
3 to 5 keywords are suggested.
Copyright Reminder
If any material that is included in a paper is under copyright, the authors of the paper are responsible for obtaining copyright permissions, including any information required by the copyright holder, and be able to produce such permissions upon request
TAML Style and Notice
The PDF version of TAML style and notice guide could be downloaded.
Mathematical notation
Formulae, symbols and all subscripts, superscripts, Greek letters and other characters must be legible and carefully checked. Standard mathematical notation should be used:
- Single letters that denote mathematical constants, variables, and unknown quantities should be set in italics in both text and equations.
- Numerals, operators, and punctuation should be set in Roman type (upright), so are commonly defined functions or abbreviations, e.g., cos, det, e or exp, lim, log, max, min, sin, tan, d (for derivative).
- Vectors, tensors, and matrices should be bold italics.
Figures
Authors are encouraged to submit all figures electronically. Figures submitted on paper should be of high quality and suitable for digital scanning. All figures must be well prepared so that details can be easily seen after reproduction.
Each figure must have a caption. Groups of figures that share one same caption must be labeled "a, b," etc at the left upper corner. The figure itself should have properly labeled axes with correctly abbreviated units enclosed in parentheses. Use the lettering and style consistent with those in the body of the text (correct capitalization, unslashed zeros, proper exponential notation, superscripts and subscripts, decimal points, etc.).
Photographic images (either grayscale or color) should be submitted electronically in high-resolution JPEG or PNG files.
Tables
Each table must have a caption and be numbered in the order in which they are referred to in text. Column headings should be simple and contain all units; symbols should be explained in the caption. Use a single horizontal rule to separate headings and entries. Use horizontally running space to distinguish broad groups among entries, and extra vertically running space for columnar groups. Vertical rules should not be used. Denote footnotes in a table by superscript lower-case roman letters, and list at the end of the table.
References
Reference must provide complete information to include the author name(s), title of paper, name, volume and issue of the journal, starting and ending pages, and year of publication. They should be numbered consecutively starting with 1 in the order of appearance in text.
Publication Fee
The journal uses an author-pays model and a Publication Fee of 8300 CNY (1200 USD) will be charged to the accepted article for publication and Open Access. Following payment of this fee, the article is made universally available to all on www.sciencedirect.com and www.taml.cstam.org.cn.
Fee Waiver Guidance
The journal is funded largely by Publication Fee. Recognizing that some papers/authors cannot pay the Publication Fee, TAML established a fee waiver process for these papers. The author can apply the waiver of Publication Fee by contacting the Editorial Office via taml@cstam.org.cn.
