Text

For initial submissions, please review the Author Guidelines' page of the specific journal homepage using the link at the right. 

• For journals not using an Electronic Editorial Office system (e.g. ScholarOne Manuscripts), the final hard copy version and the file on disk must be the same
• Include all parts of the text of the paper in a single file. The ideal sequence is: 
  • Header (title, short title, authors, addresses, correspondence details including e-mail address, abstract, keywords, etc.)
  • Body of article
  • Acknowledgements
  • References
  • Figure legends
  • Table legends and tables
  • Appendices  
• Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero) or ß (German esszett) for ß (beta) 
• Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables If you use a table editor, do not use carriage returns within cells  

Unless specified otherwise in the journal instructions, the text should be sent in an MS Word-compatible format (not as a PDF).

Figures

Where possible, digital versions of your figures should also be sent, with each figure saved as a separate file in TIFF or EPS format. See our Electronic Artwork guidelines for full details.

Supporting Information (formerly known as Supplementary Material)

Wiley-Blackwell is able to host online approved supporting information that authors submit with their paper. Supporting information must be important, ancillary information that is relevant to the parent article but which does not or cannot appear in the printed edition of the journal. Authors should consult the individual journal's author guidelines to see whether supporting information is accepted.
