*/Notes for Edited Book Chapter Contributors
_
_/*1. There is no charge for inclusion in the finished book. An
auxiliary service is available for any authors interested in Open
Access. Open Access makes the chapter visible free of charge to anyone
in the world who has Internet access.
2. There are no page charges for black and white submissions. Chapters
containing color are billed a flat fee regardless of number of
publisher-accepted color reproductions.
3. A free copy of the e-book version of the book is sent to the
first-listed contributor of each chapter. Additional copies are
available at a 20% discount. Publication in digital form takes place at
approximately the same time as the printed version.
4. The scientific community is the intended audience. Books are marketed
by direct mail, space ads, review copies, online bookstore postings and
by our international distributors.
5. The choice of theme and approach are at the discretion of the author
but preliminary acceptance is only upon submission of the draft
abstract. The line-up of chapters is a constantly changing landscape
since discussions, commitments and submissions continue on a daily basis
right up to and sometimes beyond the close of each volume.
6. Research results (studies) are the primary type of article desired
but review articles are also welcome. The Commentary should deal with
innovative ideas, developments, directions, misdirections, areas which
need to be explored, future outlook, prior errors, problems, personnel,
funding, or trends in the field which will be published separately under
your name in a section titled Expert Commentary. The deadlines for the
abstract for the Commentary and the full Commentary are the same as for
regular articles. Please be sure to list the affiliations of the
authors. Short Communications are also subject to the abstract
requirement and submission guidelines and deadlines. References and
figures are permitted without limitation.
7. An abstract in the following form is required consisting of: 1.
150-500 words; 2. Author affiliations; and 3. Estimated date of chapter
submission and Copyright Transfer. Please include the abstract as part
of an email and not as an attachment if possible. Acceptance of topics
is based partially on which topics have already been accepted for
particular volumes. The reply to the draft abstract will contain details
about reference styles and other relevant technical details. A reply and
decision may be expected within 7 days if the word Abstract is contained
within the Subject Line of the email.
8. Contributors are encouraged to submit chapters ranging from
4,000-35,000 words (unless Expert Commentaries or Short Communications).
Longer, more extensive contributions are encouraged. In the event of
Latex or similar program use, or when a chapter contains numerous
tabular data, graphics, or mathematical formula, a page range of 10-50
pages is acceptable.
9. Coauthors may be added by you without discussion with Nova.
10. Publication is by invitation only. Reviewing is either carried out
inhouse at Nova or outside peer-reviewed at the option of the authors.
In the latter case, the peer-reviewer's name and affiliation must be
included as part of the article to be located at the end after the
References. It should be on a separate line two lines below the last
reference and start with the words
Reviewed by...................................It is the author's
responsibility to contact the reviewer and take into account any
suggestions or comments.
11. Copyright is transferred to Nova via email. Another form will be
sent via email at along with the electronic page proofs.
12. Personalized chapter offprints are available.
13. MS Word 2003 or Latex are the preferred input programs for text.
When submitting your manuscript, please indicate the program you used
(i.e., MS Word 2003) in the text of your email accompanying the attached
manuscript. If Latex, Nova requests use of the Nova macro. The Nova
macros are available from the Nova Website under the tab ?For Authors.?
This is ARTICLE.STY set at 5.5 inches (13.97 cm) and letter size (not A4
paper). Please try to use outside justified page headers. If you would
like to add any packages to this macro beyond those already specified,
it is *mandatory *that the corresponding .sty files be submitted with
the chapter. Nova currently uses the Windows Operating System.
14. Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType are the preferred input
programs for equations.
15. It is assumed that chapters have been edited for English prior to
submission. Nova can provide editorial assistance if required. A list of
optional editorial services is available upon request.
16. Video enhancements are possible using the following guidelines:
/_Guidelines for submission of video for enhanced books & enhanced
eBooks. _/Please submit your video in the one of the following formats:
QuickTime Movie, Microsoft AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or Windows Media. (The
extensions for these formats are .avi, .mpg, .mpeg, .m2v, .mov, .wmv or
.wma.). You may also submit video on a DVD from any region, VHS or
MiniDV tape. Video resolution should be /at least/ 720 x 480. Remember
