About the journal
Description
Computers, Environment and Urban Systems is an integrated, interdisciplinary journal focusing on the development, application and enhancement of computer-based methodologies for understanding and improving environmental and urban systems. Original high quality scholarship is of an applied, theoretical or technological nature, and provides a lively presentation of perspectives, research developments, overviews of important new technologies and uses of major computing innovations. Applied contributions demonstrate the scope of computer-based analysis of environmental and urban systems. Interdisciplinary perspectives are strongly encouraged. Application areas include communications, environmental issues and problems, urban planning, economic development, education, health care, housing, infrastructure and facilities management, physical planning and urban design, tourism and recreation, transportation and business and service planning.
Theoretical papers focus on (1) appropriate and context sensitive use of computer technology, and/or (2) the scientific foundations of computer-based technology in the analysis and improvement of environmental and urban systems. Papers on the general role of computers in organistations, effective computer utilization, professional practice, measurement and evaluation standards, policy statement, and ethical or philosophical concerns are especially welcome. Scholarship in this area is particularly meaningful if placed alongside broad societal policies and political processes of decision making and implementation, or micro level administrative and organizational structures and decision processes. Demonstrations involving scientific concepts and tools of analysis (e.g. decision support systems, new technologies, the Internet, database design, modelling and simulation, social accounting and other analytical foundations of general systems theory) in computerized form provide further insight into the form and functioning of environmental and urban systems.
Contributions emphasising the development and enhancement of computer-based technology for analysis and improvement of environmental and urban systems are especially sought. Technology contributions utilise, among others, geographic information systems, computer-aided design, networks and internet portals, innovative client - server architectures, expert and knowledge engineering systems. The nature and practicalities of human-computer interactions are also frequently emphasised.

Submission of Papers
Authors are requested to submit their articles online. Please prepare your manuscript in accordance with the guidelines below, and then go to the online submission page of this journal at  http://ees.elsevier.com/ceus/. Authors will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process.
General
It is essential to give a fax number and e-mail address when submitting a manuscript. Articles must be written in good English and should be no longer than 8000 words.
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.
Preparation of text
General
The entire manuscript should be double spaced and have wide (3 cm) margins. (Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively.
Provide the following data on the title page (in the order given).
Covering letter: Briefly state the word count (including bibliography, abstract, captions), the scientific significance of your submission, and the fit of your submission with the stated objectives of the journal.
Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract. A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length 200 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list.
Keywords. Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
References
Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors.
Citations in the text. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
Text. Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association. You are referred to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, ISBN 1-55798-790-4, copies of which may be ordered from http://www.apa.org/books/4200061.html or APA Order Dept., P.O.B. 2710, Hyattsville, MD 20784, USA or APA, 3 Henrietta Street, London, WC3E 8LU, UK. Details concerning this referencing style can also be found at http://humanities.byu.edu/linguistics/Henrichsen/APA/APA01.html.
List. References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.
Examples:
Reference to a journal publication:
Van der Geer, J., Hanraads, J. A. J., ?Lupton R. A. (2000). The art of writing a scientific article. Journal of Scientific Communications, 163, 51-59.
Reference to a book:
Strunk, W., Jr., ?White, E. B. (1979). The elements of style. (3rd ed.). New York: Macmillan, (Chapter 4).
Reference to a chapter in an edited book:
Mettam, G. R., ?Adams, L. B. (1994). How to prepare an electronic version of your article. In B. S. Jones, ?R. Z. Smith (Eds.), Introduction to the electronic age (pp. 281-304). New York: E-Publishing Inc.
Citing and listing of Web references. The full URL should be given and any further information such as (author names, date accessed etc. should also be given. Multiple Web references should be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading, 2-3 websites can be included in the reference list.
The digital object identifier (DOI) may be used to cite and link to electronic documents. The DOI consists of a unique alphanumeric character string which is assigned to a document by the publisher upon the initial electronic publication. The assigned DOI never changes. Therefore, it is an ideal medium for citing a document, particularly "Articles in press" because they have not yet received their full bibliographic information. The correct format for citing a DOI is shown as follows (example taken from a document from Computers, Environment and Urban Systems): doi:10.1016/j.compenvurbsys.2007.10.002
When you use the DOI to create URL hyperlinks to documents on the web, they are guaranteed never to change. To open, put the following DOI site in your browser: http://dx.doi.org Enter the entire DOI citation in the text box provided, and then click Go.
Preparation of illustrations
Submitting your artwork in an electronic format helps us to produce your work to the best possible standards, ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of detail.
General points
•Always supply high-quality artwork. •Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.•Save text in illustrations as "graphics" or enclose the font. •Only use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Times, Symbol.•Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.•Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files, and supply a separate listing of the files and the software used.•Provide all illustrations as separate files.•Provide captions to illustrations separately. •Produce images near to the desired size of the printed version.
A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our website: http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions
Formats
When your electronic artwork is finalised, please "save as" or convert the images to one of the following formats (Note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below.):
EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as "graphics".
TIFF: Colour or greyscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi.
TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (colour or greyscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.
DOC, XLS or PPT: If your electronic artwork is created in any of these Microsoft Office applications please supply "as is".
Please do not:
•Supply embedded graphics in your wordprocessor (spreadsheet, presentation) document;
•Supply files that are optimised for screen use (like GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); the resolution is too low;
•Supply files that are too low in resolution;
•Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.
Captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions on a separate sheet, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Line drawings
Supply high-quality images. The lettering and symbols, as well as other details, should have proportionate dimensions, so as not to become illegible or unclear after possible reduction; in general, the figures should be designed for a reduction factor of two to three. The degree of reduction will be determined by the Publisher. Illustrations will not be enlarged. Consider the page format of the journal when designing the illustrations.
Photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs (halftones)
Please supply original photographs for reproduction, very sharp and with good contrast. Remove non-essential areas of a photograph. Do not mount photographs unless they form part of a composite figure. Where necessary, insert a scale bar in the illustration (not below it), as opposed to giving a magnification factor in the legend.
Note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour illustrations Submit colour illustrations as original photographs, close to the size expected in publication. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions.
Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting colour figures to 'grey scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for colour in print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the colour illustrations.
Supplementary material
Elsevier and Editors of Computers, Environment and Urban Systems invite authors of articles submitted for publication to provide supplementary material in electronic form. Supplementary material that does not appear in the print version of an article can be found online on ScienceDirect http://www.sciencedirect.com
Supplementary material (even though not printed) is an integral part of a journal article and therefore will be sent to the reviewers along with the manuscript. Because this material will be mounted exactly as submitted by the author, we recommend that the material be presented in an electronic format that is readily accessible. To ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please provide the data in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. Please note, however, that supplementary material will not appear in the printed journal. For more detailed instructions, please visit http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstruction, and then click on "Multimedia files."
Copyright guidelines
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright see http://www.elsevier.com/copyright). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided. If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact ES Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford, OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com
Proofs
When your manuscript is received by the Publisher it is considered to be in its final form. Proofs are not to be regarded as 'drafts'.
One set of page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author, to be checked for typesetting/editing. No changes in, or additions to, the accepted (and subsequently edited) manuscript will be allowed at this stage. Proofreading is solely your responsibility.
A form with queries from the copyeditor may accompany your proofs. Please answer all queries and make any corrections or additions required.
The Publisher reserves the right to proceed with publication if corrections are not communicated. Return corrections within 3 days of receipt of the proofs. Should there be no corrections, please confirm this.
Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. In order to do this we need your help. When you receive the (PDF) proof of your article for correction, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication. Subsequent corrections will not be possible, so please ensure your first sending is complete. Note that this does not mean you have any less time to make your corrections, just that only one set of corrections will be accepted.
Offprints
The corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail or, alternatively, 25 free paper offprints. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use. Additional paper offprints can be ordered by the authors. An order form with prices will be sent to the corresponding author.
