General Information

The web-based submission and resubmission, including via e-print servers, for all manuscripts to ACSS journals, is preferred over other methods. Editorial processing of an electronic submission cannot begin until at least review-quality copies of the figures are received. A resubmission may consist of no more than a response to a referees report. Only web-based submissions are accepted. There are no publication charges for ACSS journals, but ACSS’s financial model requires publication charges to the authors or to the author’s institutions.

Manuscripts submitted to the journals must contain original work which has not been previously published in a peer-reviewed journal, and which is not currently being considered for publication elsewhere. Specific guidelines on the types of work considered for publication for each journal and their current editorial procedures are available here.

Authors should consult the ACSS Style and Notation Guide for detailed information on standards for presentation of material for publication. The individual journals may also have specific information on their requirements where they differ from the general style guide - see the "Information for Contributors" here. Please note that direct web submissions may face a limit on the size of accepted files or packages (currently 30 MB) - please use compression when transmitting your files.
