NEURAL NETWORKS: Instructions To Authors
NEURAL NETWORKS Aims & Scope: Topics Include: The Journal Features: Neural Networks Letter Submission: A Letter is submitted directly to an action editor who is an expert in its subject matter. Research areas and addresses of action editors are listed in the first issue each year. A Letter may only be submitted to and reviewed by one action editor. A rejected Letter that is resubmitted and then accepted by another action editor will still be rejected by the Editor-in-Chief. Authors are encouraged to contact prospective action editors by email before submission. Please do not submit a Letter to one of the three Editors-in-Chief, but only to an action editor who has agreed to handle the submission. The action editor provides a rapid review within four weeks and may recommend acceptance or rejection to the editor-in-chief in the corresponding geographical area, or may immediately decline to review the Letter. The action editor may also elect to request revisions from the author(s) before making a final recommendation. The editor-in-chief determines publication based on the importance of the Letter, as reflected by its priority rating. Accepted Letters are published on an accelerated basis in the next available issue. Current Opinion Submissions: Contributed Article Submission:
Full-length papers should be submitted, in quadruplicate, typed double-spaced, in English with an abstract summarizing briefly the essential contents. The original manuscript (including figure captions and references), and 3 complete copies of the manuscript and figures should be submitted with one set of camera-ready figures or photographs (original artwork or glossy prints). Manuscripts should be accompanied by (a) a cover letter including the name, address, and phone number of the author to whom correspondence should be sent; (b) copies of any published reports that may duplicate material in the submitted manuscript; and (c) written permission of author(s) and publisher(s) to use any previously published material (figures, tables, or quotations of more than 100 words). Authors should retain an additional copy of the manuscript and figures for their own files. Upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, a copyright transfer form will be sent to the author(s). This form must be signed and dated and returned to the publisher.
