About the journal
IJHVS provides an authoritative source of information and an international forum in the field of on/off road heavy vehicle systems, including buses. It is a highly professional and refereed journal which forms part of the proceedings of the International Association for Vehicle Design. IAVD is an independent, non-profit, learned society which provides a forum for professionals in both industry and academic institutions to meet, exchange ideas and disseminate knowledge in the field of automotive engineering, technology, and management.
Objectives
The objectives of the IJHVS are to develop, promote and coordinate the science and practice of vehicle design. It also aims to help professionals working in the field, engineering and business educators and policy-makers to contribute, to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating technological change and changes in the global economy.
Readership
Professionals and academics in the field of automotive engineering, technology and management.
Contents

| Typescript preparation
N.B. The sample issues available may show formatting different to that which is requested here; if in doubt, please follow the instructions on this page. The sample issues show the finished version, not necessarily the one required for the production process
- The original typescript should be submitted electronically in A4 size format, with a word count of 5000-7000 (excluding figures), following the submission requirements described on the Journal's website.
- A final paper which would exceed 7000 words or occupy more than 20 pages of the Journal may be returned for abridgement.
- If you are submitting your paper via e-mail, three files should be included together in the electronic version emailed:
File 1. The title of the paper, plus the names, affiliation and complete addresses, e-mail and fax number of authors, and an abstract , keywords and brief biographical notes about authors File 2. The text of the paper, including text, acknowledgements, references and notes, tables, figure captions, figures, but without the names of authors or their biographical notes File 3. The cover letter, for which a sample is provided (PDF version), which includes answers to questions about the relevance of the paper to the submitted journal, and nominations of four experts (including their names, full organisational and email addresses and expertise) in the subject of your paper. These experts
. must be personally unknown to you* . at least two of them must be from a different country from you* . must not be members of the editorial board of the journal . must not be from your* institution (* "you" refers to all authors of the paper) Also include the the Author Agreement (Copyright) (PDF version), which may be downloaded from this website.
- If you are submitting your paper via our web-based On-line System, you need to upload only one file. This file must include the title of your paper, the abstract, the keywords and the full-text of the paper, including text, acknowledgements, references and notes, tables, figure captions and figures. DO NOT include in this file the names of authors or their biographical notes.
- All papers must be written in UK English. If English is not your first language, please ask an English-speaking colleague to proofread your paper.
- View sample copies of articles published in:
Electronic copy
- The preferred electronic document format is MS Word. Templates for both A4 size (double column) journals (see list) or 240 mm x 165 mm size (single column) journals, are available to download, should you wish to use one. Templates in both sizes for users of LaTex are also available to download. (If you use LaTex, you must please save your LaTex file as a PDF file, to ensure that those reviewing your manuscript will be able to view it). All templates for download can be found here. Although the templates will allow you to estimate the total number of pages if typed in single line spacing, it is not essential that you use one, since all papers, if accepted, will be correctly formatted for publication by Inderscience Publishers.
- Figures in the final accepted manuscript may be included in the electronic text file and also provided as separate files, but must also be accompanied by high-resolution hard copy printout.
International context
- It should not be assumed that the reader is familiar with specific national institutions or corporations. Authors are encouraged to approach their chosen topic with an international perspective.
- Countries and groupings of countries should be referred to by their full title (for example, 'China', 'Europe' and 'America' are all ambiguous).
- Special attention should be paid to identifying units of currency by nationality.
- Acronyms should be translated in full into English. (See also 'Translated works' below.)
Title, abstract, keywords, addresses, biographical notes Please assist us by following these guidelines:
- Title : as short as possible
- Abstract: approximately 100 words, maximum 150
- Keywords : approximately 10-15 words or phrases. Keywords are important for online searching; please click here for further keyword requirements
- Address : position, department, name of institution, full postal address
- Biographical notes : approximately 100 words per author, maximum 150.
References and notes
- Inderscience journals use the Harvard (name and date) short reference system for citations in the text with a detailed alphabetical list at the end of the paper. For example 'Hamel (2000) suggests ...' or 'Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) found that ...' or 'A study of economic change (Nelson and Winter, 1982) has shown that ...'
- Footnotes should be avoided, but any short, succinct notes making a specific point, may be placed in number order following the alphabetical list of references.
- 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.
- Full reference should include all authors' names and initials, date of publication, title of paper, title of publication (italics), volume and issue number (of a journal), publisher and form (books, conference proceedings), page numbers.
- [N.B. Some of the sample copies have references in our previous Numerical format; please use our new Harvard format above for all references now]
Figures
- All illustrations, whether diagrams or photographs, are referred to as Figures. They should be black and white, not colour, and numbered sequentially. Please place them at the end of the paper, rather than interspersed in text.
- Originals of line diagrams will be reduced and used directly, so please prepare them 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. Electronic copies of the figures are also required.
Translated works
- Difficulty often arises in translating acronyms, so it is best to spell out an acronym in English (for example, IIRP - French personal income tax).
- Similarly, labels and suffixes need careful attention where the letters refer to words which have been translated.
- The names of mathematical functions may change in translation - check against an English or American mathematical reference text.
Units of measurement
- Inderscience journals follow the Syste`me International for units of measurement.
- Imperial units will be converted, except where conversion would affect the meaning of a statement, or imply a greater or lesser degree of accuracy.
