Instructions to Authors
Submission process
Authors presenting papers at TAPPI conferences, students or professors reporting academic research in pulp and paper-related fields, or any authors performing relevant pulp and paper industry-related research may submit their manuscripts for possible publication as reviewed papers in TAPPI JOURNAL. (Submissions may also be considered for publication as articles in Solutions! for People, Processes and Paper magazine). Authors MUST submit papers directly to the journal staff for consideration. Conference papers are no longer automatically considered for peer review.
Papers should be submitted by email to Lisa Hightower (lhightower@tappi.org) or to Janice Bottiglieri (jbottiglieri@tappi.org). Papers may also be submitted on CD-ROM or IBM-formatted diskette, with one printed copy of the paper, to: Editor, TAPPI JOURNAL, 15 Technology Parkway South, Norcross, GA 30092 USA.
Authors should limit the text of their paper to a maximum of 4500 words, with fewer than 15 figures, tables or charts. Authors must include a one- or two-sentence "application statement" that describes how readers may be able to use the information in the study or how it relates to research conducted within the topic area. Authors should also submit a 300-word summary that highlights the problem researched, the results of the study and conclusions.
If necessary, authors should obtain company approval before submitting a final manuscript.
Format
Submit papers electronically in MS Word. Use a one-column/full page format. Include captions for all figures and tables. Note that tables and figures must be reproducible in black-and-white. (Papers published as Online Exclusives can use full-color art.) Send images as separate files. High resolution (300 dpi or greater) electronic images are required. They should be in TIF or JPEG format.
Author information
Be sure to include full contact information and email addresses for all authors. Please also send photos of each of the authors.
Style
An electronic style guide for TAPPI publications is posted on TAPPI¡¯s web site within the publications section, click here for more information. For industry terms, see the 5th edition of TAPPI¡¯s "Dictionary of Paper" and Gary Smook¡¯s "Handbook of Pulp & Paper Terminology." As a general guide, refer to "The New York Public Library Writers Guide to Style and Usage." Papers should be written in American English. Authors should use a first person construction (i.e., "...in our work, we found...") and avoid excessive use of passive voice.
References
Literature references are necessary for all peer-reviewed papers. References enhance the usefulness of papers to readers and identify previously published materials for an in-depth understanding of the topic. All literature references must have a citation within the text of the paper and be in proper numerical sequence. References to papers in other technical journals are in the form: author(s) name (last name first with both initials), journal name, volume number, issue number, initial paper number, and year. The format for Conference Proceedings is author(s) name (last name first with both initials), conference name and year, sponsor, sponsor¡¯s headquarters city, and initial page number. Two examples follow:
Hurley, P. J., Chem. Eng. Progr. 76(2):43(1980).
Krogh, G. N. E., TAPPI 1985 International Chemical Recovery Conference Proceedings, TAPPI PRESS, Atlanta, p. 235.
Units of measure
Papers in TAPPI JOURNAL should use SI units. In cases where English or other units are customary or necessary to understand the topic, the SI equivalent quantities and units should follow in parentheses. Examples of correct SI units for many usual paper properties and their English or common equivalent are in the TAPPI Technical Information Paper TIP 0800-01 "Units of Measurement and Conversion Factors." This is available from the TAPPI web site (www.tappi.org) or by calling +1 770 446-1400, 1-800-332-8686 (U.S.), or 1-800-446-9431 (Canada).
Review process
Not every paper submitted for consideration will be peer reviewed. Manuscripts accepted for peer review are sent to selected Editorial Board members to coordinate the reviews. A minimum of two reviewers familiar with the topic area evaluate the paper. Papers that are promotional, poorly written, excessively long, insufficiently documented, previously published, or not clearly within the focus of TAPPI JOURNAL will likely be rejected. Expect the process to take several months.
Reviewers may request revisions to the paper before publication. Papers that successfully pass the peer review process will not be moved to the publication stage until TAPPI JOURNAL staff has received all required information, including an abstract, summary, author responses, and any requested revisions.
Publication
Papers recommended for publication by the reviewers are scheduled as soon as possible, based primarily on topic, available space, and processing requirements. It sometimes becomes necessary to reschedule a paper. Accepted papers are recommended for one of two possible publication methods:
Print publication
Papers accepted for print publication are published in full in TAPPI JOURNAL and also published on TAPPI¡¯s web site (www.tappi.org). A short summary of each accepted paper is also printed in the Solutions! for People, Processes and Paper magazine during the same month.
Online Exclusive publication:
Papers accepted as Online Exclusives are published in full only on TAPPI¡¯s website (www.tappi.org). A short summary is also published in both the print edition of TAPPI JOURNAL and the print edition of Solutions! for People, Processes and Paper that month. Papers published as Online Exclusives are archived and indexed the same as papers receiving regular print publication. Online Publication may be recommended for papers that are long, use artwork in full color, or that are deemed academically important but have a more narrow scope of application.
Editorial Board
Papers should be submitted by email to Lisa Hightower (lhightower@tappi.org) or to Janice Bottiglieri (jbottiglieri@tappi.org). Papers may also be submitted on CD-ROM or IBM-formatted diskette, with one printed copy of the paper, to: Editor, TAPPI JOURNAL, 15 Technology Parkway South, Norcross, GA 30092 USA.
