About the journal
The objectives of IJWGS are to establish an effective channel of communication between decision makers, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the practical deployment of web services in industry. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments in the field of web services and grid services. By tackling issues of current research, standardisation, and deployment, it brings together people from both academia and industry. By allowing them to share new ideas and exchange best practice approaches, it creates a vital resource for both to drive future work and leverage web service usage. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating technological and ecological change and changes in the global economy.

International context
It should not be assumed that the reader is familiar with specific national institutions or corporations. Authors are encouraged to approach their chosen topic with an international perspective.
Countries and groupings of countries should be referred to by their full title (for example, 'China', 'Europe' and 'America' are all ambiguous).
Special attention should be paid to identifying units of currency by nationality.
Acronyms should be translated in full into English. (See also 'Translated works' below.)
Title, abstract, keywords, addresses, biographical notes
Please assist us by following these guidelines:
Title : as short as possible
Abstract: approximately 100 words, maximum 150
Keywords : approximately 10-15 words or phrases. Keywords are important for online searching; please click here for further keyword requirements
Address : position, department, name of institution, full postal address and email address for each author
Biographical notes : approximately 100 words per author, maximum 150.
References and notes
Inderscience journals use the Harvard (name and date) short reference system for citations in the text with a detailed alphabetical list at the end of the paper. For example 'Hamel (2000) suggests ...' or 'Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) found that ...' or 'A study of economic change (Nelson and Winter, 1982) has shown that ...'
Footnotes should be avoided, but any short, succinct notes making a specific point, may be placed in number order following the alphabetical list of references.
References should be made only to works that are published, accepted for publication (not merely 'submitted'), or available through libraries or institutions. Any other source should be qualified by a note regarding availability.
Full reference should include all authors' names and initials, date of publication, title of paper, title of publication (italics), volume and issue number (of a journal), publisher and form (books, conference proceedings), page numbers.
For examples of how to reference materials, please click here
Further examples of references may be found in papers from our Samples Journals page.
Figures
All illustrations, whether diagrams or photographs, are referred to as Figures. If any figures appear in colour, please note that they will only appear in colour in the online version but in the printed version they will be in black and white. If the quality of the colour figure supplied is not suitable to be produced in colour, it will also be shown in black and white in the online version. However, if colour is essential to the figure please send a good quality colour image. Figures should be black and white, not colour, and numbered sequentially. Please place them at the end of the paper, rather than interspersed in text.
Please prepare all figures, especially line diagrams, to the highest possible standards. Bear in mind that lettering may be reduced in size by a factor of 2 or 3, and that fine lines may disappear.
Translated works
Difficulty often arises in translating acronyms, so it is best to spell out an acronym in English (for example, IIRP - French personal income tax).
Similarly, labels and suffixes need careful attention where the letters refer to words which have been translated.
The names of mathematical functions may change in translation - check against an English or American mathematical reference text.
Units of measurement
Inderscience journals follow the Système International for units of measurement.
Imperial units will be converted, except where conversion would affect the meaning of a statement, or imply a greater or lesser degree of accuracy.

Dear Editor of the [please type in journal title or acronym]: [the example used is the IJEB]
Enclosed is a paper, entitled "Mobile Agents for Network Management." Please accept it as a candidate for publication in the [journal title]. Below are our responses to your submission requirements.
1. Title and the central theme of the article.
Paper title: "Mobile Agents for Network Management." This study reviews the concepts of mobile agents and distributed network management system. It proposes a mobile agent-based implementation framework and creates a prototype system to demonstrate the superior performance of a mobile agent-based network over the conventional client-server architecture in a large network environment.
2. Which subject/theme of the Journal the material fits
New enabling technologies (if no matching subject/theme, enter 'Subject highly related to [subject of journal] but not listed by [please type in journal title or acronym])
3. Why the material is important in its field and why the material should be published in [please type in journal title or acronym]?
The necessity of having an effective computer network is rapidly growing alongside the implementation of information technology. Finding an appropriate network management system has become increasingly important today's distributed environment. However, the conventional centralized architecture, which routinely requests the status information of local units by the central server, is not sufficient to manage the growing requests. Recently, a new framework that uses mobile agent technology to assist the distributed management has emerged. The mobile agent reduces network traffic, distributes management tasks, and improves operational performance. Given today's bandwidth demand over the Internet, it is important for the [journal title/acronym] readers to understand this technology and its benefits. This study gives a real-life example of how to use mobile agents for distributed network management. It is the first in the literature that reports the analysis of network performance based on an operational prototype of mobile agent-based distributed network. We strongly believe the contribution of this study warrants its publication in the [journal title/acronym].
4. Names, addresses, and email addresses of four experts in the subject of your paper who are personally unknown to you*, are not members of the editorial board of the journal, are not from your* institution and at least two of whom must be from a different country from you*.
(*"you" refers to all authors of the paper) N.B. For The Botulinum Journal only, instead of the criteria above, the criteria for these experts is that they should not have any conflict of interest with authors and institutions.
