About the journal Engineering Journal is the only technical journal in the United States devoted exclusively to the design of steel structures. The Engineering Journal is dedicated to the improvement and advancement of steel construction.
Instructions to Authors
Submittal Requirements
Scope. The Engineering Journal, published by the American Institute of Steel Construction, is dedicated to the improvement and advancement of steel construction. Its pages are open to all who wish to report on new developments or techniques in steel design, research, the design and/or construction of new projects, steel fabrication methods, or new products of significance to the uses of steel in construction. Only original papers should be submitted.
General Papers intended for publication must be submitted in duplicate (electronic submission is acceptable in most cases) to:
Cynthia J. Duncan, Editor ENGINEERING JOURNAL AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION One East Wacker Drive, Suite 700 Chicago, IL 60601-2000
e-mail: duncan@aisc.org
All papers within the scope outlined above will be reviewed by engineers selected from among AISC, industry, design firms, and universities. The standard review process includes outside review by an average of three reviewers, who are experts in their respective technical areas, and volunteers in the program. The maximum number of papers sent to a single reviewer is three per year, with a frequency of not more than one per quarter. Papers not accepted will be returned to the author. Published papers become the property of the American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc., and are protected by appropriate copyrights. No proofs will be sent to authors. Each author receives three copies of the issue in which his contribution appears.
The articles published in the Engineering Journal undergo Peer Review before publication for (1) originality of contribution (2) technical value to the steel construction community (3) proper credit to others working in the same area (4) prior publication of the material and (5) justification of the conclusion based on the report.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION:
Manuscripts must be provided on PC-formatted media (CD-ROM or floppy disk) in Microsoft Word format. Fonts and spacing must be suitable for easy reading and reproduction (for the peer-review process). A laser-quality proof must accompany your submittal. Do not embed photographs, diagrams, illustrations, charts or graphs within the electronic manuscript files. Only equations may be embedded within the flow of the text. Specific requirements for electronic graphics are outlined below. Engineering Journal reserves the right not to publish a submittal if suitable graphics cannot be provided by the author.
Title and By-Line: Exact name, title and affiliation of the author or authors are required to appear on the first page of the manuscript.
Body Text: Please restrict font usage to Times, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Arial, and Symbol (for Greek and mathematical characters.)
Headings: All headings should be typed flush left, using upper and lower case, with two line spaces above.
Tables: Each table should appear on its own page. Footnotes to tables should appear below the table, identified by superscripted lower case letters (a, b, c, etc.).
Graphics (other than photographs): Provide a clear 8-1/2 inch by 11 inch laser-quality proof of each graphic element. Graphics should reproduce cleanly in black-and-white format. Graphics may be submitted and reproduced in color at the Editor’s discretion.Please restrict font usage to Helvetica, Arial or Symbol, in sizes suitable for at least 50% reduction (12 pt. minimum). Line weights must be suitable for 50% reduction. When possible, provide each graphic element in a separate electronic file. TIF or EPS file formats are preferred, with a minimum resolution of 300 dots per inch.
Photographs: Provide either original photographs or high-quality electronic files and laser-quality proofs. Electronic photographs may be submitted as grayscale TIF or JPG images, one photograph per file. Photographs may be submitted and reproduced in color at the Editor’s discretion. Minimum image resolution is 300 dots per inch. Photographs should be a minimum of 4 inches wide, so the minimum image width is 1200 pixels. Detailed photographs may require resolutions up to 1200 dots per inch. Photos embedded in word-processing documents are not acceptable.
Equations: Whenever possible, equations should be set using Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType (www.mathtype.com). Please set equations using Times New Roman, Times, and/or Symbol fonts.
Captions: Captions should be typed, double-spaced, and located at the end of the electronic manuscript. All photos and graphics must be clearly marked to indicate their corresponding caption.
References: Should be noted clearly in the text and listed, double-spaced, on a separate page in the following sample format.
