o Biographical notes : approximately 100 words per author, maximum 150. |
|
References and notes |
|
Inderscience journal uses a numbering system in which references and notes are placed in the same sequence.
o In the text, a reference is indicated by a number in square brackets, e.g. [3]. This system avoids footnotes. Full references and short notes should then be placed in number order at the end of the text.
o 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.
o Full reference should include all authors' names and initials, year of publication, title of paper, title of publication (underlined), volume and issue number (of a journal), publisher and form (book, conference proceedings), page numbers. [see sample citations]
o Notes should make a specific point, and be short and succinct. |
|
Figures |
|
o All illustrations, whether diagrams or photographs, are referred to as Figures and are numbered sequentially. Please place them at the end of the paper, rather than interspersed in text.
o Originals of line diagrams will be photographically reduced and used directly. All artwork for figures must be black and white and prepared 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 |
|
o Difficulty often arises in translating acronyms, so it is best to spell out an acronym in English (for example, IIRP - French personal income tax).
o Similarly, labels and suffixes need careful attention where the letters refer to words which have been translated.
o The names of mathematical functions may change in translation - check against an English or American mathematical reference text. |
|
Units of measurement |
|
o Inderscience journal follows the Système International for units of measurement.
o Imperial units will be converted, except where conversion would affect the meaning of a statement, or imply a greater or lesser degree of accuracy. |

January 1, 2003
Dear Editor of the [please type in journal title or acronym]:
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
o 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]. |

ASSIGNMENT OF COPYRIGHT: EXPLANATORY NOTES |
|
Inderscience's policy is to acquire copyright for all contributions, for the following reasons:
a. ownership of copyright by a central organisation helps to ensure maximum international protection against infringement;
b. requests for permission to reproduce articles in books, course packs or for library loan can be handled efficiently and with sensitivity to changing library and reader needs. This relieves authors of a time-consuming and costly administrative burden.
c. the demand for research literature to be delivered in electronic form, whether on-line or on CD-ROM, can be met efficiently, with proper safeguards for authors, editors and journal owners.
There are opportunities to reach institutions (e.g., companies, schools and public libraries) and individual readers that are unlikely to subscribe to the printed journal. Inderscience works with other organisations to publish, where appropriate, in on-line or off-line databases and services, or to deliver copies of individual articles. It has also registered the Journal with the Copyright Licensing Agency, which offers centralised licensing arrangements for photocopying. Income received from all of these sources is used to further the interests of the Journal.
Once accepted for publication, your Article will be published in conventional printed form in the Journal, and will be stored electronically to enable Inderscience to publish the journal on-line, in order to meet increasing library and faculty demand, and to deliver it as an individual article copy or as part of a larger collection of articles to meet the specific requirements of a particular market. Assignment of copyright signifies agreement to Inderscience making such arrangements.
It may be that the Author is not able to make the assignment solely by him- or herself:
a. If it is appropriate, the Author's employer may sign this agreement. The employer may reserve the right to use the Article for internal or promotional purposes (by indicating on this agreement) and reserve all rights other than copyright.
b. If the Author is a UK Government employee, the Government will grant a non-exclusive licence to publish the Article in the Journal in any medium or form provided that Crown Copyright and user rights (including patent rights) are reserved.
c. If the Author is the employee of a government (except the UK Government) and the work was done in that capacity, the assignment applies only to the extent allowed by applicable law.
Under the UK's Copyright Design and Patents Act 1988, the Author has the moral right to be identified as the author wherever the Article is published, and to object to its derogatory treatment or distortion. Inderscience encourages assertion of this right, as it represents best publishing practice and is an important safeguard for all authors. Clause 4 asserts the Author's moral rights, as required by the Act.
The Journal will permit the Author to use the Article elsewhere after publication, provided acknowledgement is given to the Journal as the original source of publication.
Thank you for reading these notes. This assignment will enable Inderscience to ensure that the Article will reach the optimum readership. |
