About the journal

The first journal for serious investigators of teleoperators and virtual environments, Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments is filled with stimulating research and designs applicable to these advanced electromechanical and computer devices. Incorporating perspectives from physics to philosophy, Presence appeals to a wide audience, particularly mechanical and electrical engineers concerned with teleoperators; computer scientists, high-tech artists, media people, and others interested in virtual environments; and psychologists involved in the study of human-machine interfaces and sensorimotor/cognitive behavior.

Instructions to Authors
Submission GuidelinesPresence is an interdisciplinary journal for the dissemination of ideas, experimental results, theoretical models, practical applications, and survey and tutorial material related to teleoperators and virtual environments. Manuscripts are accepted for consideration with the understanding that they represent original material and are not being considered for publication elsewhere.
Submissions may take the form of articles or Forum contributions.
Articles are scholarly contributions that may take several forms:
- Research papers describe new concepts, algorithms, devices, or experiments. Authors should compare and contrast the described work to related work in the field, and present documented results.
- Reports on implemented systems or applications should describe the problems to be solved, developmental difficulties, and implementations.
- Survey articles should be well-organized presentations of material that is difficult or impossible to find elsewhere. Survey articles must be relevant to the readers of Presence.
- Tutorial articles should develop to an appropriate level of detail a significant topic that is of interest to, but not well known to, a significant portion of the Presence readership.
In the Forum section of Presence, the editors wish to encourage the presentation of material that may take many forms, including short papers, technical notes, reviews, commentaries, opinion pieces, and letters that explore new concepts or propose new points of view. Forum contributions should be timely and relevant to the readers of Presence. Arguments may be speculative, but should be technically informed, and should include references to the literature as appropriate. Reports of work-in-progress should be set in context with relevant work in the field. Lab reports should provide an overview of work conducted in that laboratory. Correspondence should contribute to an informed and open dialogue and need not be related to work previously pub-lished in Presence. In general, review criteria for Forum contri-butions are less stringent than those for articles.
Publication Charges
To support the high cost of publication, a page charge of $50 per page over twelve published pages will be mandatory and is assessed at the galley stage. A voluntary page contribution of $50 per page (with a one-page minimum) for the first twelve pages of each article is also requested. Acceptance of manuscripts for publication is based entirely on technical merit, however, irrespective of ability to pay the voluntary portion of the charge. Authors who cannot pay the mandatory page charges should contact the Editor-in-Chief by email (durlach@mit.edu) or phone (617-253-2534). Reproduction of color figures is billed by the MIT Press at the rate of $1,000 per page.
Submission Instructions
Preferred format for initial submission is electronic (.pdf or PostScript with standard 13 fonts). Page format for all text, including abstract, references, footnotes, appendices, and figure captions, is single column, double-spaced, left-justified, minimum 10 margins. Text should be prepared in a 12 pt. serif font. Reference format is as specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association 4th edition. Footnotes and appendices should be kept to a minimum. Figure captions should be presented as a list on a page following text and references. Figures may be embedded in the text for review purposes, but must be separated from the text at the time an accepted manuscript is submitted in its final form.
Digital manuscripts should be rendered anonymous prior to submission. If emailed, they should be attached to a message containing full contact information for the corresponding author and sent to Presence@mit.edu. They may also be posted to an author’s website, with the appropriate permissions for downloading, and full contact information for the corresponding author, emailed to Presence@mit.edu.
The editors are committed to providing timely and anonymous peer review, with comments returned to authors within four months of submission. Authors whose work is accepted for publication will be informed by email and will be requested at that time to sign a transfer of copyright to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. All accepted manuscripts are subject to revision by the editors for greater conciseness, clarity and conformity to the journal’s style.
Although the review process is managed using digital technology, the final version of accepted manuscripts must be supplied as hard copy. Figures for articles accepted for publication must be supplied separate from the final text in camera-ready form, with labeling sufficiently large to be legible when reduced for page layout. All images should be black-and-white unless intended for color reproduction, in which case there will be a $1000 per page charge to the author. Images requiring high-resolution reproduction should be presented in the form of glossy prints. Electronic versions of figures may be included in addition to (not in place of) the camera copy. All electronic figures must be formatted as 300 dpi .tif files.
Although no guarantees can be given, it is our intention that accepted material appear in print within one year of the time it is accepted. For additional information, including information on how to submit a hard copy manuscript, please contact the Managing Editor by email at Presence@mit.edu.
