Instructions to Authors
Contributions to Information Processing & Management will be welcomed from throughout the world. Manuscripts, following submission and style requirements described below, should be forwarded to the Editor-in-Chief. Manuscripts can also be submitted to Associate Editors or through any other member of the Editorial Board chosen by the author(s) on the basis of regional proximity or interest in the topic. Book reviews should be submitted to the Book Review Editor. Addresses are on the inside cover of the journal and on the IP&M web site. The contributions are to be in English; however, for those having difficulties with English IP&M can provide help with copyediting or advice.
All papers are subject to peer review. Author(s) can suggest possible referees, including their name, affiliation and email address. Copies of referees' comments will be forwarded to author(s) together with publication decision.
Only papers not previously published will be considered. Authors must agree not to publish elsewhere papers submitted to and accepted by the journal.
Copyright. All authors must sign the 'Transfer of Copyright' agreement before the article will be published. The transfer form will be sent to the authors by the publisher. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Science Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, but does not relinquish the author's proprietary rights. The copyright agreement covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microform or any other reproduction of similar nature and translation, and includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any material for which copyright exists.
Types of contribution. Submissions must fall within the Aims and Scope of IP&M. The following are invited: (i) full length papers, reporting original work generally of up to 4000 words; (ii) brief communications of original work or work in progress of up to 2000 words; (iii) critical reviews of trends in any area of IP&M coverage generally of up to 4000 words; (iv) opinion papers, discussing a contemporary issue in the area of IP&M coverage of up to 2000 words; (v) book reviews or critical literature reviews; and (vi) letters to the editor commenting on IP&M publications or editorial policies and practices.
Submission requirements. All manuscripts, sent for the first time, must be submitted unfolded and in triplicate. The first or initial submission must be hard copy, that is, on paper only - no electronic format.
Final paper and electronic submission. If a paper is accepted, the final, revised version of the manuscript should be delivered (i) in two hardcopies (paper copies) - one clean and the other with revisions marked; and (ii) in electronic format on floppy disk, CD or SyQuest (or by FTP - see below). The authors should make sure that the hardcopy and disk are identical; in case of differences, the hardcopy takes precedence. With the hardcopy, supply good quality originals of the artwork, if any; the usability of electronic graphic files cannot be guaranteed. As a general rule, the cost of color printing will be charged to the author. For the disk: (i) specify what software was used - word processing software should be used, desktop publishing software should not; (ii) specify hardware used (PC or Mac); (iii) do not mix tables and graphics, if any, with the text file - include the text as a separate file on a separate disk from table and illustration files, which should be on another disk; (iv) label disks with the name of the author, abbreviated title and file names; (v) name files clearly, including correct extensions - e.g. tb 1-6.xls, text.doc; (vi) do not use excessive layout styling - most formatting codes will be removed. For further information on electronic submission contact by email authors@elsevier.co.uk.
The electronic version of the manuscript can also be submitted to the IP&M FTP site. Please go to http://ftp.elsevier.co.uk and click on "UK Guest FTP Service". Once in the UK Guest FTP site you will need to set up an account: to do this, click on "form" (near the bottom of the text). Having completed the registration form, click "Submit Request" - you will be given a folder number and password.
Organization. The general organization of scholarly papers should be followed: the background and purpose of the study should be stated first; then the details of methods and procedures used; followed by findings, discussion, and conclusions. Mathematical expressions and algorithms should be explained in detail. Appendices may be used to amplify details where appropriate. Links to sites of files that contain extensive data or analyses, and related works can be indicated.
Title page. The title page must contain: (i) the full title of the article; (ii) name of the author(s); (iii) affiliation of the author(s) at the time the work was conducted; (iv) full corresponding address of the author(s), telephone and fax numbers; (v) e-mail addresses; and (vi) an unnumbered footnote giving addresses for reprint requests and any acknowledgements.
Abstract and keywords. All papers must be supplied with an abstract and keywords on a separate page, following the title page. The abstract should be up to 150 words, concise and complete in itself without reference to the body of the paper. Include purpose, methodology, major results and conclusions, where applicable. Immediately following the abstract should be from three to five keywords describing the main topics of the paper. The keywords should be in the style such as found in a major thesaurus. Since the abstract and keywords will be used in automatic indexing, the terminology selected should be suitable for computer analysis.
Style and references. All typing must be double-spaced, including all text, title, captions, author affiliation, notes, and references. The manuscripts should be carefully prepared using the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 4th edition, 1994, for style. All works cited must be listed under references. Avoid abbreviation of journal titles and incomplete references. The forms of references and citations are given below. No other style will be accepted.

Guidelines for Special Issues
Occasionally, IP&M commissions a Special Issue. The objective is to bring together a set of high-quality articles reporting current achievements, state, and progress in a specific area within the Aims and Scope of the journal. The stress is on novel and "hot" areas, however, a synthesis of classic areas is invited as well.
A Special Issue is the result of an agreement between Guest Editor(s) and the Editor-in-Chief of IP&M. Here are the basic guidelines for assembling such Special Issues.
Guest Editor(s). After an agreement has been reached and the Issue has been commissioned, the role of the Guest Editor is to:
1. Issue a Call for Papers for the special issue and in other ways announce the issue to prospective authors (e.g. through listserves, personal emails, personal invitations etc). IP&M will print the Call for Papers, but it takes time, thus other avenues of announcement have to be pursued.
2. Obtain the manuscripts for the issue and maintain communication with the authors.
3. Assume the authority and responsibility for handling of refereeing for all manuscripts. The decision of the Guest Editor(s) in refereeing matters is final, however, the Editor-in-Chief should be consulted.
4. Prepare a lead-in summary (article or editorial) for the Issue.
5. Provide the Editor-in-Chief with names and addresses of authors, and the title page of the manuscript, so that the editorial office could plan for publication.
6. Deliver the manuscripts, in paper and electronic format to the Editor-in-Chief, indicating the order of appearance. Two printed copies of each manuscript AND a disk (or an ftp to Elsevier) should be delivered. Instructions for disks or ftp will be provided.
Guest Editor(s) will be recognized on the cover of the Issue. They will receive from the publisher copies of the Issue.
Refereeing. Each article must be refereed by at least two referees and if circumstances warrant by more than two. Guest Editor(s) choose the referees; authors may suggest referees; Guest Editor(s) may be referees as well. Before sending a paper to a referee the referee should be contacted by email or otherwise and asked whether he/she is willing to referee. Do not send papers for refereeing unannounced! Enlarged or modified conference papers that have already been refereed for a conference, require only one referee. IP&M will provide standard refereeing forms and instructions. Referee comments, together with the Guest Editor's decision, should be provided to authors for revision, if necessary.
Copyright. The publisher, Elsevier Science Ltd., requires that each author sign a copyright transfer form. No manuscript can be published without the copyright release form signed by the author. The Publisher will send the form to the author along with the galleys, thus will handle the contacts with authors for this purpose.
Style. IP&M follows the style standards as suggested by the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, as summarized in Instructions to Contributors, that appears on the back page of every IP&M issue and can be found on the IP&M web page:
http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/infoproman. Briefly, requirements for authors are:
Double space everything.
Provide a title with name and full address of the author(s), including e-mail address.
Provide an abstract.
Provide three to five keywords.
Follow the APA style for references. E.g. in text: "Salton (1993) found... ." At the end references are arranged alphabetically, e.g. Salton, G. (1993). Title. Journal and volume (underlined or in italics), (issue - in parenthesis), pages.
Length. The issue should be up to 140 typeset pages in length. Generally, about 2.5 typed pages are one typeset page, but this is relative because fonts differ, and room has to be left for figures, tables, headings, etc. The Guest Editor(s) can determine the length of each paper, but the overall number of typeset pages has to be about 140. Usually, about 8-10 papers of average length comprise an Issue.
Timetable. There are no special deadlines connected with the assembling of a special issue. The Guest Editor should establish the deadline for submission of papers. The process of refereeing takes time, and sometimes longer than expected - this should be factored in. When the refereeing process has started, the Editor-in-Chief should be notified and an approximate completion date should be agreed upon, so that the publishing schedule can be planned and the publisher notified.
Papers from conferences. Papers already presented at a conference are acceptable, however, only if they are additionally updated, revised, or enlarged. On the title page of such a paper there must be an acknowledgement, e.g. "A shorter version of this paper was presented at...". As mentioned, if the paper was already refereed for the conference, then only one referee suffices for IP&M.
