About the journal
Artificial Life is devoted to a new discipline that investigates the scientific, engineering, philosophical, and social issues involved in our rapidly increasing technological ability to synthesize life-like behaviors from scratch in computers, machines, molecules, and other alternative media. By extending the horizons of empirical research in biology beyond the territory currently circumscribed by life-as-we-know-it, the study of artificial life gives us access to the domain of life-as-it-could-be. Relevant topics span the hierarchy of biological organization, including studies of the origin of life, self-assembly, growth and development, evolutionary and ecological dynamics, animal and robot behavior, social organization, and cultural evolution.
Instructions to Authors
Artificial Life is intended to be the primary vehicle for the dissemination of original scientific and engineering research involving the synthesis of biological phenomena in wetware, hardware, and software, and the application of such techniques towards the enhancement of our theoretical understanding of biology. It is also intended to serve as a forum for the discussion and evaluation of the many technological, philosophical, social, and ethical issues involved in our attempts to synthesize biological phenomena artificially.
Contributions will be accepted in the following categories.
- Notes - Extremely brief communications announcing research results or responding to previously published articles, typically containing under 500 words.
- Letters - Short communications detailing original research results, typically containing under 2,000 words.
- Articles - Manuscripts reporting original research containing on the order of 6,000 to 12,000 words.
- Reviews - Major overviews of domains of intellectual inquiry relevant to the field of Artificial Life, typically containing more than 12,000 words.
- Reports - Objective summaries of conferences, workshops, and other intellectual gatherings that would be of interest to the Artificial Life community, typically under 2,000 words.
All manuscripts are to be submitted directly to the editor-in- chief at the address listed below. Reviews will generally be solicited by the editors, but proposals for reviews will be accepted for consideration, in which case a brief summary and outline consisting of no more than 10 pages should be sent first.
Submissions should include five (5) hard copies of the manuscript printed double-spaced on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. The first page should include the title, the authors' names, affiliations, mailing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, the abstract, and 5-6 keywords. Indicate the corresponding author. The text should start on the second page. References should be numeric, and the reference list should be in alphabetical order by first author, formatted per journal style (consult a recent issue). Electronic submission in postscript, pdf, or Microsoft Word format is possible; e-mail editor@alife.santafe.edu for instructions.
Once accepted for publication, we will need three (3) hard copies of the entire final manuscript printed single-sided on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. The entire manuscript including abstract, references, and figure captions should be double-spaced, and copies of all tables and figures should appear on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. At least one original camera-ready version of each figure should be included with the manuscripts. Color plates are possible at no charge to the author, but these must be discussed with the Editors first. With the hard copies include a copyright form signed by the paper's first author. Copyright forms can be obtained over the Internet at http://mitpress.mit.edu/authors/journals/ARTL.pdf.
We will also need an electronic copy of the final manuscript. TeX or LaTeX submissions are strongly encouraged, but Microsoft Word submissions are acceptable. TeX or LaTeX submissions should include: (i) a postscript file of the entire manuscript, (ii) the text file (*.tex), and (iii) files for each figure (in postscript or some other familiar graphics format). Color figures should be in CMYK (four color) rather than RGB format. Please name the text and figure files with the last name of the first author (e.g., smith.tex, smith.fig1.ps).
