Instructions to Authors
Information for Contributors to Noise Control Engineering Journal
Submission of manuscripts Submit four copies of a manuscript to the NCEJ Associate Editor having cognizance of the subject matter, or to the Editor-in-Chief if necessary. See the inside front cover of each issue for names and addresses. All articles will be examined under the peer review system by experts in the subject of the manuscript.
For multiply-authored manuscripts, the letter transmitting the initial manuscript should be signed by each co-author, preferably at the time of initial submittal. Submission of a manuscript is a representation by the author(s) that the manuscript in its present form is an original work of the author(s), except where suitably referenced, has not been published previously nor currently submitted for publication elsewhere, and has been cleared for publication by sponsors, if appropriate.
Before submitting a manuscript, authors for whom English is not a native language are encouraged to ask at least one colleague, who is a native English speaker, to review the manuscript for writing style and clarity. Re-write the text as required to accommodate the comments, until it is clear to all readers.
Technical papers, reviews, case histories, and technical notes are all welcome. All contributions shall contain the results of experiments or measurements to demonstrate an engineering solution to a noise or vibration problem; they may combine theoretical and experimental information. Experiments may include computer simulations. Unsubstantiated statements and commercial claims are not acceptable in any contribution. Letters to the Editor and opinions related to noise control engineering topics are also welcome.
A form for transfer of copyright will be supplied to the first author to be signed and returned before publication. An Order Form for offprints or reprints and a Form for payment of the INCE Voluntary Page Contribution will also be provided.
Compuscript at AIP Submittal of the final hard-copy version of a manuscript to the NCEJ Associate Editor or to the Editor-in-Chief should be accompanied by a soft-copy version in an electronic file on a 90-mm (3.5-in.) diskette. Files prepared by Microsoft WORD or Novell WordPerfect are preferred. Files prepared by REVTeX or LaTeX may also be provided.
For WORD or WordPerfect files, the diskette is preferably formatted for the Microsoft or IBM disk operating system (DOS). Diskettes for the Macintosh operating system may also be provided.
AIP uses translation software to convert WORD, WordPerfect, REVTeX, or LaTeX files into Xyvision composition files for production. Guidelines documented in the AIP WORD/WordPerfect toolbox or REVTeX toolbox should be followed precisely.
The WORD/WordPerfect toolbox is available via anonymous file transfer protocol on the INTERNET from ftp.aip.org. The REVTeX toolbox is available from ftp.aip.org in the directory pubrevtex. Move to the directory ems, then follow the instructions given on the screen. The WORD/WordPerfect toolbox may be accessed via the AIP Home Page at (http://www.aip.org). If electronic retrieval is not possible, you may obtain the WORD/WordPerfect toolbox or the REVTeX toolbox on a diskette. Contact Katie Bell at the American Institute of Physics, 500 Sunnyside Boulevard, Woodbury, New York 11797-2999 (e-mail: katie@aip.org; phone: +1 516 576 2262; fax: +1 516 349 9704).
Manuscript preparation Submit manuscripts on A4 (210 x 297 mm) or 8 1/2 x 11 inch white paper. Only English-language manuscripts are acceptable. All text, tables, equations, and illustrations must be in black ink. Manuscripts generated by a laser printer are preferred. No color photographs or color illustrations are acceptable.
Enter the text in a single column on one side of the page only. Use double spacing for the abstract, text, references, tables, and figure legends, with at least a 25-mm margin all around. Number every page consecutively starting with page 1 for the title and abstract page. Give the name of the first author on each page in a running header or running footer.
Consult the American National Standard Acoustical Terminology, ANSI S1.1-1994, for definitions of acoustical terms. Symbols and abbreviations shall be consistent with American National Standard Letter Symbols and Abbreviations for Quantities Used in Acoustics, ANSI Y10.11-1984.
Units of measure, unit symbols, and prefixes for multiples of 10 from the International System of Units are required for articles in NCEJ. The SI unit of length is the metre; note the preferred international spelling. The unit for the level of quantity is usually the decibel (dB). Indicate a frequency weighting in the name of the quantity, not in its unit symbol. Expressions such as dBA, dBSPL, or dBm for the unit symbol of the decibel are not acceptable.
Format Divide the text of the manuscript into numbered sections, beginning with 1 for an Introduction that places the subject of the manuscript into context and cites references to previous related work. Typical main headings for other numbered sections include: Theory, Model, Method, Experiments, Procedures, Results, Discussion, Conclusions or Summary, Appendixes (if needed), and References. Main sections may include several subsections. Consult recent issues of NCEJ for the format of headings and subheadings.
Recognition of significant personal contributions or financial support should appear in an Acknowledgments section after Conclusions.
In the main text, refer at least once, and in consecutive order, to every table, figure, reference, and appendix. Refer at least once to all numbered equations.
Title Page and Abstract The title page contains the title of the manuscript; the name(s) of the author(s); the received, revised, and accepted dates; the abstract in boldface type; the INCE copyright notice; the primary and secondary INCE subject classification numbers; and the affiliation of each author. Author affiliations should be given in a footnote below a separator line. Provide adequate mailing addresses; include postal code and country. Entries for the received, revised, and accepted dates will be supplied when the final version of the manuscript is ready for submittal to AIP.
The title should be explicit, descriptive, and preferably not contain more than 10 words. Begin the first word of the title with a capital letter. Thereafter, capitalize only proper names, abbreviations, and acronyms.
To simplify later indexing and database retrieval, each author of a submission to NCEJ should adopt and maintain one form of name, e.g., John A. Doe and avoid J.A. Doe, John Doe, and J. Arthur Doe for subsequent manuscripts. Librarians and literature researchers prefer that author's first names always be spelled out.
In the single-paragraph abstract of not more than 200 words, mention the subject of the manuscript and new methods used; describe qualitatively new observations or conclusions. Include brief numerical results and their accuracy, as applicable. Do not cite references in the abstract.
In the abstract as well as the main text, avoid the pronouns "I" and "we;" use passive construction instead. End the abstract with the standard statement showing the Institute of Noise Control Engineering as the owner of the copyright to the publication. A Letter to the Editor requires an abstract of approximately 100 words.
Select appropriate primary and secondary subject classification numbers from the INCE Classification of Subjects found in each issue of NCEJ.
Mathematical expressions Enter mathematical expressions by means of an electronic equation editor or word processor program. If an equation editor or word processor is not available for the equations, then write them carefully by hand in black ink. Identify special symbols in the margin the first time they are used. Take care to distinguish between upper- and lower-case symbols. Distinguish between lower-case "el" and "one" or a script "el", and between "oh" and "zero".
Write equations on one line whenever possible. Use the solidus (/) to avoid multi-line built-up fractions, except where clarity would be sacrificed.
Equations and other mathematical expressions use letter symbols, with subscripts and superscripts as appropriate. Do not use abbreviations in equations. Use italic type for letter symbols and to represent physical quantities such as sound pressure or acceleration and for index counters such as i, j, k. Use roman (upright) type to represent labels and parameters.
The dot on the line (period) is used as the decimal sign, not the comma.
Number each relevant mathematical expression consecutively throughout the text and at the right-hand margin within parentheses. Numbering starts anew within each appendix: Eq. (A1), Eq. (B4a), etc. Place parentheses around equation numbers mentioned in the text.
Define each letter symbol and abbreviation the first time it is used in the manuscript. Include the relevant SI units. If a list of symbols and abbreviations is provided, place it as section 1 before the Introduction and do not redefine a symbol or abbreviation in the text. A separate list is not required when there are only a few symbols and abbreviations.
Consult the AIP Style Manual or recent issues of NCEJ for additional guidance on mathematical expressions.
References In a separate section after the text and any appendixes and before the tables and figures, list the references in the order cited with author names and titles exactly as published. Number the references consecutively in order of appearance. Alternatively, references may be listed alphabetically by author with the last name of the first author followed by the publication date as needed for multiple citations by the same author.
Cite any direct quotes from other sources. Include the page number where the quoted material appears. Avoid references to theses, personal communications, and hard to obtain documents.
Note carefully the difference between the order and style of the information required for periodical and book references and for published and unpublished references such as Proceedings of Meetings or Conferences or company or laboratory reports. Consult the AIP Style Manual and recent issues of NCEJ for guidance on the format and style for listing of references. Examples of listings for references are:

Tables Place each table, typed double spaced, on a separate numbered page after the references and before the list of figure legends. Do not insert tabular material within the text. Tables, like figures, are consecutively numbered with arabic numerals; see a recent issue of NCEJ for the preferred format of presentation and layout. Numbering of tables starts anew with each Appendix as Table A1, Table B4, etc.
Every table shall have a caption placed above the table. Each caption for a table should be complete and intelligible without reference to the accompanying text. Tables have horizontal rules only. Enclose units of measure within parentheses in column headings.
Enter references or notes to entries in a table in left-to-right and top-to-bottom order and placed below and outside the table. See recent issues of NCEJ for additional guidance on preparation of tables.
Illustrations
Place the illustrations after the list of figure legends and sub-legends, not integrated within the text.
Prepare all illustrations in the final published size, not oversized. The maximum width of a final version of a figure is 85 mm for a figure to be included in a single column of text or 165 mm for a figure to be spread across two columns.
Each illustration will be scanned at 100% at AIP by a digital scanner and incorporated into the text of the article, creating completely electronic pages. The scanner reproduces all flaws (e.g., correction fluid, tape, smudges, and dust). AIP does not accept Postscript figures.
Maximum black-white contrast is necessary in the original figures. Laser-generated graphics are acceptable only if the lettering and lines are dark enough, and thick enough, to reproduce clearly. Fine lines in laser-generated graphics tend to disappear upon reduction, even if the original looks fine.
Line weights should be consistent throughout each illustration. Line weights should fall between 0.2 mm (0.6 pt.) and 0.3 mm (0.85 pt.) for illustrations submitted with the final manuscript. Photocopies of artwork usually are not acceptable. Lettering and symbols shall not be handwritten. Avoid opaquing-out extraneous material with correction fluid. Avoid small open symbols and narrow cross hatching that tend to fill in upon reduction to the standard width for an illustration.
Place only one figure per page. Place separate parts of the same figure on one page, spaced 6 to 7 mm apart and labeled. Label all figure parts with (a), (b), etc. within the body of the figure, preferably the bottom left. Mount small illustrations on white bond paper using a glue stick or wax on the back of the illustration, leaving at least a 50-mm margin to the bottom of the page. Taping a figure onto a page is only acceptable when the tape is placed well outside the image area.
Number the figures in the order that they are cited in the text. In Appendixes, numbering of figures starts anew as Fig. A1, Fig. B2, etc. Identify each figure by its number and the name of the first author on the front of the page well outside the figure's image area. Do not write on the back of the figure because that writing will be picked up by the scanner. Make sure each figure is straight on the page.
Avoid gross disparities in lettering size within one figure. Recommended fonts, in the event that type requires modifying, are Helvetica (or Arial) and Times New Roman (or Times Roman). The minimum height is 1.5 mm for a lower-case letter such as an "e" or an "o" in the final version of a figure.
Enclose X-Y graphs with a border line on all sides. Place tic marks at appropriate locations on all four sides or use light-weight grid lines at major scale markings. Do not plot data points in the border lines. Avoid the various forms of bar charts. Place all nongraphic material in the figure's legend (or sub-legend), not in the figure, except where such placement is needed to enhance understanding of the figure.
Type all figure legends (and sub-legends) on a separate numbered page. Use arabic numerals for figure numbers; see recent issues of NCEJ for examples of figure legends and sub-legends. Make the legend for each figure complete and intelligible without reference to the accompanying text.
For each figure that presents data in graphical format, center the scale labels on the ordinate and abscissa axes; for example, sound pressure level (dB) and frequency (kHz). Use unit multiples from the Sl system or scale multipliers if the range of scale values is large. Do not multiply the units of the scale label; e.g., mm rather than m x 10{superscript}[-3]. Use data symbols that are large enough to be legible after reduction. Enclose unit symbols within parentheses.
Continuous-tone photographs should be printed on glossy paper, but matte prints scan well and are acceptable. Avoid glossy paper stock that is off-white, ivory, or colored because contrast is lost in reproduction. Print photographs with more contrast than is desired on the printed page. The quality of the paper stock will also influence the detail of an illustration. A dull, textured paper stock will lose contrast and detail when reproduced.
Special note: Photographs that have already been screened (not continuous tone) will be reproduced as line art. Prepare your screened (or shaded) illustrations for the 85 or 165-mm standard maximum widths. Adjustments will be made to reproduce the illustration as close to the original size as possible.
