JOURNAL OF CLASSIFICATION

Instructions for Authors

Preparation of manuscripts

This Journal is published three yearly, and a typical issue will have four sections: articles, short notes and comments, software abstracts, and book reviews. It uses a double-blind peer-reviewing system.

Submit a fully double-spaced, single-column manuscript in English, using a font size of at least 12, with wide margins, including abstract (of at most 150 words), tables, figures, and a cover letter. The manuscript must be submitted electronically through Editorial Manager, an online submission system (http://www.editorialmanager.com/clas/). The maximum length is 50 pages for a manuscript, and 20 pages for a software abstract. Submission of a paper to this periodical will be assumed to imply that the manuscript represents original work not previously published and not being considered elsewhere for publication. Authors submitting a manuscript agree that the copyright for the article will be transferred to the publisher if and when the article is accepted for publication.

If the manuscript is accepted for publication, authors should submit attachments via email, along with a pdf file of the manuscript. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to submit LaTeX files; however Microsoft Word and WordPerfect files are also accepted. If submitting LaTeX files, please be sure to include any additional or altered style files that will be needed to run the paper. Other file formats will be subject to a $10 US per page typesetting surcharge.

With the exception of the following details, the format will conform to the style guide of the American Statistical Association. (See http://pubs.amstat.org/page/styleguide.) In the bibliography, initials rather than actual names should be used for first and middle names of authors, author names are typed in uppercase letters, the month of publication of journals should not be included unless every issue begins with page one, and for books having more than one edition, the specific edition should be given. A horizontal line should not replace authors' names for multiple references by the same authors; the names should be written each time. The first citation in the text to a paper with three or more co-authors should list all the names. Subsequent citations should give the first co-author's name followed by "et al." Citations to books or lengthy review papers for specific details and/or technical points should include page number(s) and/or chapter(s) in the citations. Note especially that no abbreviations whatsoever should be used in journal or book titles. Authors are strongly urged to check their references very carefully before submitting manuscripts so as to avoid excessive delays later, if the manuscript is accepted for publication.

This Journal requires an explicit description of appropriate types of data for proposed advances in methodology. Defining one or more data matrices as variables is highly recommended near the beginning of text in methodological contributions.

In manuscripts, it is crucial that vectors and matrices be clearly distinguishable from scalar variables.

Because the maximum size of figures and tables is a 4.8-inch width x 6.8-inch height, it is critical that letters and numbers be large enough on the original copy to remain legible after reduction to this size.

Tables should be prepared with extra wide margins; layout should be compact and conserve space, so that reduction can be moderate. It may be necessary to prepare wide tables sideways (landscape) on the page. Tables are to be numbered with Arabic numerals and referred to in the text by number, e.g., Table 2. Figures should be referred to in the text by number, e.g., Figure 3 .

Color can be published in the electronic edition of the journal, at no charge to the author, if appropriate electronic files are provided. Color will only be included in the print edition when the author covers the additional expense of color printing. For an exact quote on color printing charges, please contact the Technical Editor.

Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print

General

Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.

Vector (line) Graphics

Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format.

Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.

No rules narrower than .25 pt.

No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%.

Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.

Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics

Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.

Halftone Illustrations

Black & white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format.

Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.

Scans*

Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.

Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.

Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.

* We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones.

Graphics from Videos

Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
