About the journal
|
The mission of the Journal of Nonlinear Science is to publish papers that augment the fundamental ways we describe, model, and predict nonlinear phenomena. Papers should make an original contribution to at least one technical area and should in addition illuminate issues beyond that area's boundaries. Even excellent papers in a narrow field of interest are not appropriate for the journal. Papers can be oriented toward theory, experimentation, algorithms, numerical simulations, or applications as long as the work is creative and sound. Excessively theoretical work in which the application to natural phenomena is not apparent (at least through similar techniques) or in which the development of fundamental methodologies is not present is probably not appropriate. In turn, papers oriented toward experimentation, numerical simulations, or applications must not simply report results without an indication of what a theoretical explanation might be.
All papers should be submitted in English and must meet common standards of usage and grammar. In addition, because ours is a multidisciplinary subject, at minimum the introduction to the paper should be readable to a broad range of scientists and not only to specialists in the subject area. The scientific importance of the paper and its conclusions should be made clear in the introduction-this means that not only should the problem you study be presented, but its historical background, its relevance to science and technology, the specific phenomena it can be used to describe or investigate, and the outstanding open issues related to it should be explained. Failure to achieve this could disqualify the paper. |

Instructions to Authors
The mission of the Journal of Nonlinear Science is to publish papers that augment the fundamental ways we describe, model, and predict nonlinear phenomena. Papers should make an original contribution to at least one technical area and must in addition illuminate issues beyond its boundaries. Excellent papers in a narrow field of interest may not be appropriate for the journal. Papers can be oriented toward theory, experimentation, algorithms, numerical simulations, or applications as long as the work is creative and sound. Excessively theoretical works in which the application to natural phenomena is not apparent (at least through similar techniques) or in which the development of fundamental methodologies is not present are probably not appropriate. In turn, papers oriented toward experimentation, numerical simulations, or applications must not simply report results without an indication of what a theoretical explanation might be.
The following are some questions to ask yourself about a paper:
|
Is the work creative or seminal? Will it inspire others with new ways of looking at things beyond its own scope?
|
|
|
Will more than a few people in a narrow subspecialty be interested in this paper? Better, will people from more than one discipline be interested in this paper? Example of a narrow topic that probably belongs in a specialty journal: proof of a new C2 closing lemma on the three-sphere. Example of a desirable topic: an explanation of the periodicity of asteroid X using a new C2 closing lemma.
|
|
|
Does this paper reflect a genuine and deep understanding of the phenomena it addresses - does it deal with fundamentals? Is the author aware of the historical context and literature on the subject that may have been published outside of his or her field of interest? If not, can the author place the work in a broader context by suitable revisions?
|
|
|
If the paper involves topics that are relevant to experimental work, is the author familiar with that work? If not, can the author bridge that gap by suitable additions?
|
|
|
If the paper is mainly computational in nature, has the author validated the result, e.g., by using finer discretizations and/or a proof of convergence or by corroborating them with alternative methods? Does the author provide sufficient information for the reader to, in principle, reproduce the numerical results? (Note that ancillary materials may be placed on the Journal's web site.)
|
|
|
Does the paper employ sound reasoning, methods, and/or models?
|
|
|
Is the exposition sufficiently clear that a non-specialist can grasp the main results and purpose of the paper? Is the introduction well written, and does it place the paper in a sufficiently broad context?
|
|
Every paper does not have to be on the level of Newton, Hilbert, or Poincar? They do have to be original, multidisciplinary in nature, and of high quality. The journal would rather err on the side of publishing innovative work in which some issues are outstanding than strive for perfect completeness.
Finally, clear writing is essential if the journal is to be truly multidisciplinary. Papers must be written in simple, direct, unambiguous sentences that scientists from other disciplines can follow. Obscure prose is a good reason to reject a paper. The Introduction in particular must be comprehensible, and the reader should be able to grasp what the main results of the paper are.
Manuscript Submission
Email your compiled paper (e.g., .PS or .PDF file) to jnlsed@math.princeton.edu. Please include the contact information for the corresponding author including current address, telephone number, and email address. Also include suggestions for suitable editors for your paper; multiple names should be supplied to assist in an even workload. Please refer to the editorial board list.
If you are not able to submit your paper by email please send four copies of the manuscript, including cover letter, to:
Journal of Nonlinear SciencePrinceton University Fine Hall, Washington Road Princeton, NJ 08544-1000 (609) 258-3008 Fax (609) 258-1735
Types of Articles
Original research articles and review articles are sought. Reviews should provide new insights and a unification of ideas concerning their subjects and should not merely be summaries of previously published papers.
In addition, preliminary research reports in the form of short letters are solicited. These must contain some new understanding, method, or technique that apparently constitutes a breakthrough in the subject area. The letters will be published in a separate section of the journal so that they can appear in print as rapidly as possible.
All papers must be submitted in English and must meet common standards of usage and grammar. In addition, because ours is a multidisciplinary subject, at minimum the introduction to the paper should be readable to a broad range of scientists and not only to specialists in the subject area. The scientific importance of the paper and its conclusions should be made clear in the introduction-this means that not only should the problem you study be presented but its historical background, its relevance to science and technology, the specific phenomena it can be used to describe or investigate, and the outstanding open issues related to it should be explained. Failure to achieve this could disqualify the paper.
Review Procedures
All papers will undergo a thorough peer review unless the Editor notes at once that the subject matter of the paper is not appropriate for the journal; in this case, it will be returned promptly to the author. Each paper is assigned to an editorial board member, who selects referees and oversees the reviewing process. Authors are encouraged to suggest suitable editors for their papers. Please refer to the editorial board list. Every effort will be made to secure a decision about the paper in 2-3 months and to publish accepted papers within a year of submission. As part of the "Online First" service offered by this journal, papers will be published online shortly after corrected proofs and copyright forms have been received. They will subsequently appear in the next available print issue.
Manuscript Preparation
Standard manuscript format is requested: double-spaced type, preferably on 8 1/2; by 11 paper, and ample margins.
TeX papers-Plain TeX or LaTeX are preferred, although other forms of TeX can be used. There is no specific style necessary for submission; the manuscript file will be modified by the compositor to the Journal style after it has been accepted.
Title page-The title should be brief, descriptive, and appropriate for indexing. Each author's name and affiliation should be listed.
Abbreviated title-On the bottom of the title page, list the essence of the title using no more than 50 characters for use as a running head.
Abstract-Provide an abstract that summarizes what was studied, the main results, and the conclusions stemming from those results. The abstract should not exceed a double-spaced typed page. Because abstracts are reproduced in abstracting and indexing services, abbreviations should be kept to a minimum, and bibliographic citations should be written out in full.
Abbreviations-Define abbreviations when they first occur in the text and then use only the abbreviation.
References-List the references on a separate sheet of paper and double-space throughout. Authors may use their own style of referencing, including style of citations in text, provided it is consistent and sensible. References must include the author(s), title, journal or series name when applicable, publisher, and place and date of publication. Please provide complete and accurate information; if a reader cannot locate the reference in less than three hours with the information you provide, your referencing is a sterile exercise at best.
Acknowledgments-Technical assistance, advice, etc. should be acknowledged in a separate section at the end of the text before the references.
Tables-Number tables consecutively in order of appearance. Each table must have a caption typed above the tabular material. Symbols and abbreviated units of measure referred to in the table must be explained in the caption. All tables must be cited in the text. Please use as few horizontal and vertical lines in the body of the table as possible.
Illustrations-Illustrations should be of professional quality, including the labeling. All illustrations must have legends; they should be double-spaced on a separate sheet and included with the manuscript. Symbols and abbreviated units of measure appearing in an illustration must be explained in the legend. All illustrations must be cited in the text. Line drawings can be submitted on plain, good-quality paper; please indicate if you have sent the originals. Photocopies are not acceptable. The preferred form for halftones is 5 by 7 unmounted, glossy photographs. Color can be published in the electronic edition of the journal, at no charge to the author, if appropriate electronic files are provided. Color will only be included in the print edition when the author covers the additional expense of color printing. For an exact quote on color printing charges please contact Bill Payne, bpayne@springer-ny.com If you have unusual requirements for your artwork, please contact the journal editorial office. Previously published illustrations must be accompanied by written permission from the author and publisher.
Mathematical Notation
Authors should provide a key to unusual or complex notation. All variables will be set in italic type and should not be marked; underbars written or typed in black under a variable will be reproduced as underbars and not italic. Unusual symbols, Greek, German, script, roman, and open letters should be clearly labeled. To indicate boldface, a wavy black line should be marked under the variable(s)-be sure that it is clear that you intend boldface and not an italic variable with an undertilde. Do not double-strike to indicate boldface. Please clarify the following: product and summation signs versus the Greek letters, null set versus phi, oh versus zero, lowercase x versus multiplication sign, one versus ell, prime versus superscript one, and capital versus lowercase letters.
Reprints
Twenty-five reprints will be provided with each article to the principal author (considered to be the author who is mailed the page proofs for correction). He or she can order additional copies using a form provided with the proofs.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print
General
Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.
Vector (line) Graphics
Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format.
Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.
No rules narrower than .25 pt.
No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%.
Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.
Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics
Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.
Halftone Illustrations
Black & white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format.
Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.
Scans*
Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.
Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.
Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.
* We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones.
Graphics from Videos
Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE
Video
Quicktime (.mov) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mpg, etc. are acceptable.
No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval
