Instructions to Authors
These Notes are intended to guide authors in details of presentation. Papers submitted to the Journal should follow the format set out in these Notes.
Papers should be submitted using the Journal of Flood Risk Management manuscript submission website http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jfrm. There is a help function on the website to guide you through the process. Files can be uploaded in Word (.doc), RTF (.rtf) or PDF (.pdf) format. However, please note that once a paper has been accepted, the text and tables must be uploaded in Word or RTF format (not PDF).
Data that are integral to the paper must be made available in such a way as to enable readers to replicate, verify and build upon the conclusions published in the paper. Any restriction on the availability of this data must be disclosed at the time of submission.
Data may be included as part of the main article where practical. We recommend that data for which public repositories are widely used, and are accessible to all, should be deposited in such a repository prior to publication. The appropriate linking details and identifier(s) should then be included in the publication and where possible the repository, to facilitate linking between the journal article and the data. If such a repository does not exist, data should be included as supporting information to the published paper or authors should agree to make their data available upon reasonable request.
Please note that if your submission exceeds 5MB it may slow down the review process. If this is the case please consider using lower resolution images and/or black and white charts and graphs. If the paper is accepted, higher quality images will be needed by the publishers. For further information please contact rosanna@ciwem.org.
Language Authors whose first language is not English should ensure that their paper is carefully checked by a fluent English speaker for language accuracy and appropriateness. English (UK) spelling should be used consistently throughout. Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
Length
Ideally papers, excluding illustrations and tables, should not exceed approximately 6,000 words in length. However in cases where the author exceeds this limit, editorial discretion will be applied. Short papers (between 1,500 and 2,500 words) are also encouraged. Authors are asked to perform a word count and state the number of words at the end of the paper.
Layout The layout of the main body of the paper will depend upon the subject, but in general a paper should follow the following format:
Title page; Abstract; Key words; Introduction (this should not repeat what has been said in the abstract); Main exposition, subdivided as appropriate for the subject; Discussion, if required, e.g. of experimental results; Conclusions, which should be numbered (they should not include tables, figures, or references); Acknowledgements; References; Word count; Appendices, if necessary; figure legends; tables.
Title page The title of the paper should be as short as possible and consistent with a clear indication of the subject matter. The name(s) and appointment(s) of the author(s) should be given. If the paper has been presented, the date and venue of the presentation should be given. In the case of multi-author papers one author should agree to act as the corresponding author to whom queries and proofs will be sent. An e-mail address and other contact details for the corresponding author must be provided.
Abstract An abstract of not more than 150 words should be included at the beginning of the paper. It should briefly indicate the subject and scope of the paper, calling attention to points of special interest, e.g. method of investigation and important results.
Key words Up to 8 key words should be listed in alphabetical order for use in retrieval systems.
Headings Not more than three levels of headings should be used. Main headings should be typed (in bold letters) centrally on the page, and secondary headings (in bold letters) at the left of the page. Third level headings should be typed in italics at the left of the page. Numbering of paragraphs and sections of a paper should be avoided.
Units The Système International (SI) should be used for all units of measurement as far as possible. The oblique stroke (e.g. m3/d) should be used instead of the negative index (m3 d–1). Temperature should be expressed in °C.
Illustrations Diagrams should be drawn without boundary boxes and should be as simple as possible, but should contain enough information to be understood without reference to the text. Any map should include a compass point. Photographs can help to enhance the overall appearance of a paper. Video files and animated models may also be submitted. Captions should be concise and be listed on a separate page at the end of the paper.
We encourage authors to publish video files and animated models. There is a maximum file size of 5 MB except in the case of video clips which are requested to be limited to 10 MB. For more information please visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/suppmat.asp.
When a paper is initially submitted all figures should be embedded into the main text file for review purposes. Please note that after acceptance separate, high resolution, print quality figures will be needed as described below.
Artwork requirements for accepted papers Close adherence to our artwork guidelines will ensure the best quality of reproduction. Our preferred electronic file type is vector-format encapsulated post script (EPS) because these images are scaleable and therefore do not lose quality in the online PDF. All line drawings or photographs with added labelling should be supplied in EPS format. It is very important that any fonts used are embedded in the file (there is usually an option in the ‘save-as’ or ‘export’ dialog).
The best results are obtained with software applications that can output EPS format (Systat SigmaPlot; Adobe Illustrator; CorelDraw; Deneba Canvas; Macromedia Freehand) rather than 'save as' EPS format.
Half tones (photographs) without any labelling can be supplied in TIFF format at 300 dots per inch minimum at the final printed size. If line drawings cannot be supplied as EPS files then they must be in TIFF format with a minimum resolution of 800 dpi, and if they do not contain any grey tones, should be saved as single-bit images. These resolutions and formats also apply to any TIFF images embedded into an EPS file.
Artwork guidelines, which provide further information on these formats, are available at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp. Please also see the illustration submission section in the ‘author resources’ section of the Wiley-Blackwell author services site (http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/). This page has some useful documents that explain why we use EPS and TIFF formats rather than JPEG or other formats.
Colour figures Colour figures are included in the journal free of charge.
Tables Tables should be as few and as simple as possible. Graphs are often preferable to tables, and the same data should not be presented in both forms. Please place tables on separate pages at the end of the file after the figure legends. Captions should appear above tables.
Acknowledgements These should be to the authority by whose permission the paper is published, any sources of grants or funds to support the work, colleagues or others who have made significant contributions to the work, and any copyright holders who have given permission for their work to be quoted. Recurrent references to proprietary names should not be given in the main body of the text; recognition should instead be made in the Acknowledgements section.
References References should be cited using the Harvard Referencing System.
Citations in the text take the form of author names and dates (e.g. Smith 1990). Sort references chronologically and then alphabetically within dates (e.g. Smith 1990; Brown 2001; Walton 2001). For references with three or more authors, use the first author's name and 'et al.' in the text.
References in the list are sorted alphabetically by author name. If two or more references have the same first author and date, use 'a', 'b', etc. after the date to distinguish them (e.g. Smith et al. 1990a,b). References for website addresses should only be used where the hardcopy reference is unavailable. Authors should ensure that website references are complete, sustainable, refer directly to the reference and are live.
Manuscripts that have not been formally accepted for publication (e.g. ‘in preparation’) should not be included in the reference list, but should be cited in the text as unpublished data. Please give the names and initials of all collaborators in such cases. Personal communications/observations may also be cited in the text.
