Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration.
    In the case of an extended version of a conference paper, the Authors must explain the main points of extension in the cover letter or in the 'Comments for the Editor'.
  • The submission fulfils the requirement of originality in the sense that the paper or parts of it are
    - not plagiarized and
    - not derivative (AI-generated content must be declared by the authors and its use approved by the editor(s)).
  • Authors should use the Acta IMEKO Templates:
    - The preferred template is in MS Word format and contains built-in styles. Adding new styles should be avoided. All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end. Only papers in MS Word should be uploaded, no PDF.

    - Another option is our LaTeX class. Authors should produce a PDF and upload it for review and copyediting. When everything is accepted, the whole class with all necessary files should be uploaded to make the production of the PDF by the production editor possible.
  • Where available, DOIs or URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, and included in the Acta IMEKO MS Word Template or the LaTeX class.
