Before submitting a manuscript, please gather the following information:
- All authors' first and last names, postal addresses, work telephone numbers, and e-mail adresses.
- Title. You can cut and paste this from your manuscript.
- Abstract. You can cut and paste this from your manuscript.
- Manuscript files in PDF, Word, EPS, Text, Postscript, or RTF format. PLEASE NOTE -- if your paper is accepted for publication, the publisher will need to have it sent as a Microsoft Word file (the other formats are acceptable only for the review process).
- Figures/images embedded in the manuscript file, or in external files in TIFF, GIF, JPG, PDF, Postscript, or EPS format. Again, PLEASE NOTE -- if your paper is accepted for publication, the publisher will need them sent in the manner described in high-quality figures.

After pressing the "Continue" button, you will be presented with four screens that gather detailed information about your manuscript and allow you to upload the pertinent files.
The sequence of screens is:
- A long form asking for author, title, abstract, and file quantities.
- A screen asking for the actual file locations via an open file dialog. After completing this screen, your files will be uploaded to our server.
- A completion screen that will provide you with a specific manuscript number for your manuscript.
- An approval screen that will allow you to verify your manuscript uploaded and converted correctly.
