Instructions to Authors
At Taylor & Francis we are dedicated to facilitating and improving scholarly communication and our staff are committed to providing the best possible service to our authors. Publishing articles should be a trouble-free and rewarding experience for authors and we value their comments and feedback. For further information, please view the authors charter.
The instructions below are specifically directed at authors that wish to submit a manuscript to Vehicle System Dynamics. For general information, please visit the Publish With Us section of our website.
Vehicle System Dynamics considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Vehicle System Dynamics, that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged with all costs which Vehicle System Dynamics incurs and their papers will not be published.
Contributions to Vehicle System Dynamics must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editorial Office.
Manuscript preparation
1. General guidelines
- Papers are accepted only in English. British English spelling and punctuation is preferred.
- A typical article will not exceed 7500 words. Papers that greatly exceed this will be critically reviewed with respect to length. Authors should include a word count with their manuscript.
- Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text; acknowledgments; appendixes (as appropriate); references; table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figure caption(s) (as a list).
- Abstracts of 100-150 words are required for all papers submitted.
- Each paper should have three to six keywords.
- Section headings should be concise and numbered sequentially, using a decimal system for subsections.
- All the authors of a paper should include their full names, affiliations, postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers and email addresses on the cover page of the manuscript. One author should be identified as the Corresponding Author.
- Biographical notes on contributors are not required for this journal.
- For all manuscripts non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms should not be used.
- Authors must adhere to SI units. Units are not italicised.
- When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark, authors must use the symbol ® or TM.
2. Style guidelines
3. Figures
- It is in the author's interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please be sure that all imported scanned material is scanned at the appropriate resolution: 1200 dpi for line art, 600 dpi for grayscale and 300 dpi for colour.
- Figures must be saved separate to text. Please do not embed figures in the paper file.
- Files should be saved as one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
- All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b)).
- Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the paper, and numbered correspondingly.
- The filename for a graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
4. Colour
There are a limited number of colour pages within the annual page allowance. Authors should restrict their use of colour to situations where it is necessary on scientific, and not merely cosmetic, grounds. Authors of accepted papers who propose publishing figures in colour in the print version should consult Taylor & Francis at proof stage to agree on an appropriate number of colour pages. If the colour page budget is exceeded, authors will be given the option to provide a financial contribution to additional colour reproduction costs. Figures that appear in black-and-white in the print edition of the Journal will appear in colour in the online edition, assuming colour originals are supplied.
5. Reproduction of copyright material
Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table or extensive extract (more than fifty words) from the text of a source that is copyrighted or owned by a party other than Taylor & Francis or the contributor. This applies to direct reproduction as well as ‘derivative reproduction', where the contributor has created a new figure or table that derives substantially from a copyrighted source. Authors are themselves responsible for the payment of any permission fees required by the copyright owner. Copies of permission letters should be sent with the manuscript upon submission to the Editor(s).

6. Supplementary online material
Authors are welcome to submit animations, movie files, sound files or any additional information for online publication.
Information about supplementary online material
Manuscript submission
All submissions should be made online at the Vehicle System Dynamics Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once logged on to the site, submissions should be made via the Author Centre. Online user guides and access to a helpdesk are available on this website.
Manuscripts may be submitted in any standard format, including Word, PostScript and PDF. These files will be automatically converted into a PDF file for the review process. LaTeX files should be converted to PDF prior to submission because Manuscript Central is not able to convert LaTeX files into PDFs directly. The original LaTeX files should also be uploaded as supplementary data.
Authors of regular papers should nominate their preferred Editor according to the subject of their paper:
Road Related Topics
M. Ahmadian - suspension dynamics, steering systems, tyre dynamics
S. Horiuchi - vehicle handling, control
M. Plöchl - driver models, control related topics, tyre modelling, motorcycles, general road topics
Rail Related Topics
S. Iwnicki
Authors of papers intended for special issues should nominate the appropriate special issue Editor and enter the name of the special issue where indicated during the submission process.
