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.
  • IMPORTANT—If you are logged in under the general NWRA member account sign-on, you MUST log out before submitting a paper.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format. All text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, tables and legends are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end; supplementary material (if applicable) is placed at the end of the manuscript, following the references.
  • Where available, URLs or DOIs for the references have been provided.
  • The paper adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • When possible, suggest reviewers and provide name, contact information, and reason for reviewer recommendation.
  • I confirm that I am willing to pay the journal's article processing fees (APF) or will submit a request for waiver to the journal editor if the APF poses a distinct burden to the author(s). APFs are not charged for supplementary materials.
