Submission Guidelines
The address for submission is: jeanloup (at) richet (dot) it
The subject line should be “JSTI Submission”.
1. Original submission
The submission should be made as an attachment to the email, along with a separate cover letter furnished as another attachment.
The paper to be sent for a double-blind review should be provided in the MS Word or PDF format. The paper and the file should be fully anonymized so that the authors are not identified anywhere in the work. Self-references may be, however, left in the reference list. All figures, tables, etc., should be included at the end of the paper, in the same file. Their placement should be indicated in the text. When a survey instrument is used, but not included in the paper, it should be provided for the benefit of the referees as a separate anonymized attachment.
The cover letter should provide full affiliation, the postal and e-mail addresses, and telephone number(s) of the authors, with the corresponding author indicated. Brief biographical statements of all authors should be included. The cover letter should include the title page of the paper, with the names and affiliations of all the authors. The title page should acknowledge any funding sources.
Every manuscript should contain an abstract (up to 150 words), and a set of key words and phrases to serve as indicators of the paper’s content. No citations should be included in the abstract.
The text should be in 12-point typeface, double-spaced, and left-justified. The pages should be numbered.
The length of the complete MS should generally not surpass 40 pages, unless there is a persuasive justification provided in the cover letter. The intention to shorten the paper at later time is not a persuasive justification. An online appendix may be supplied in a separate file.
Optionally, non-conflicting reviewer nominations can be made. These may be taken into account when the reviewer panel is appointed. Submission of a paper to JMIS is a certification by the authors that the manuscript is not copyrighted, and is not and will not be under a simultaneous review by any other journal or proceedings.
2. Revisions
Revised papers should follow the above guidelines. In addition, they should contain the responses to the reviewers in a single file. All the files should be anonymous.
3. Accepted papers
The final submissions should be made in an editable format, preferably MS Word. The cover page should contain the full postal and e-addresses of all the authors, and should be followed by the page with the authors’ bio sketches.
The online appendixes should be submitted in a separate file.
References
The reference list should be provided at the end of the paper. The references should be arranged alphabetically according to the name of the first author or editor, and numbered. Citations in the text, referring to this list, should be made in APA Style.
