Manuscript Submission
Manuscripts should be prepared following the "New Manuscript Submission" guidelines below, and submitted to the online manuscript system Manuscript Central. After acceptance, finalized manuscripts should be prepared following the "Final Manuscript Submission Guidelines" below. Do not send original submissions or revisions directly to the Editor-in-Chief or the Guest Editors; they will access your manuscript electronically via the Manuscript Central system.
Please follow the steps below:
Account in Manuscript Central: If necessary, create an account in the on-line manuscript system Manuscript Central. Please check first if you already have an existing account which is based on your e-mail address and may have been created for you when you reviewed or authored a previous paper.
Electronic manuscript: Prepare a PDF file containing your manuscript in double-spaced format (one full blank line between lines of type) using a font size of 11 points or larger, having a margin of at least 1 inch on all sides. There is no specific page limit, but as mentioned above, the length of the final manuscript may need to be adjusted in order to meet the page limits of the special issue. Note that currently there are no page charges for papers published in J-STSP. Upload your manuscript as a PDF file "manuscript.pdf" to the Manuscript Central web site, then proofread your submission, confirming that all figures and equations are visible in your document before pressing the button. Proofreading is critical; once you press the button, your manuscript cannot be changed in any way. You may also submit your manuscript as a PostScript or MS Word file. The system has the capability of converting your files to PDF, however it is your responsibility to confirm that the conversion is correct and there are no font or graphics issues prior to completing the submission process.
IEEE-THEMES Submission Requirements: Please follow the Step-by-Step Instructions on the Author Instructions page for the IEEE-THEMES Submission Requirements such as the indication of who will be presenting this paper and the Consent and Release forms.
