Submission Guidelines

SUBMISSION FORM
To submit a manuscript or invited resubmission to be considered for publication, fill out the form below and click the Submit Information button at the bottom of your screen. The last name and first name entered below should be those of the corresponding author. [Note: The document being uploaded must not be open on your local computer.]

Unless a revision was expressly invited by the associate editor, do not select "Revised" as your submission type.  If you are submitting a revised version of a previously rejected manuscript, please click “New” and include in your cover letter how you responded to the previous reviews and action letter, making sure to reference your previous manuscript number.

MANUSCRIPT FILE
The manuscript file should be named with the corresponding author's first initial(s) and last name (e.g. JSmith.rtf) and should adhere to the journal's guidelines in all respects, including file format (.rtf or .doc).

The manuscript file should contain all figures. Do not submit figure files separately from the manuscript itself.

Your manuscript file need not contain high resolution figures at this time.  Please do not submit a manuscript file larger than 5 mb for ease of transmission to reviewers.

If submitting a commentary or commentary reply, please send the target article to Andrew Cantine at experimental.lmc@gmail.com.

ABSTRACT
When entering your abstract into the text box below, please enter it directly into the box or copy it from a text file. Any formatting that you try to copy from a formatted document (e.g., a Word document) will be lost.

When submitting your manuscript, please include your cover letter in its entirety by copying it to the text box provided by the Manuscript Submission Portal. Unfortunately, the portal cannot currently accept formatted cover letters. Even if you send a formatted version of your letter to the Journal, we must also have a text version of your cover letter. If you are submitting a revision, feel free to email the Journal a formatted version of your cover letter, though you must still also send a text version of your cover letter through the portal as you're uploading your revision.

Please also include the type of article you are submitting – a brief report (3,000 to 5,000 words in length including references, excluding abstract and footnotes), comment, or regular article.
