Aims and Scope

This bimonthly journal, now featuring an international editorial board, offers refereed papers that span the entire broad field of electromagnetics and serve as exceptional reference sources of permanent archival value. Included in this wide ranging scope of materials are developments in electromagnetic theory, high frequency techniques, antennas and randomes, arrays, numerical techniques, scattering and diffraction, materials, and printed circuits. The journal also serves as a forum for deliberations on innovations in the field. Additionally, special issues give more in-depth coverage to topics of immediate importance.

Submission of Manuscripts

Submit three copies of the complete manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief: Dr. H. Y. David Yang, 1020 SEO 851 S. Morgan St.,
Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, U. of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60607, USA. E-mail:
hyang@ece.uic.edu

 

Authors are strongly encouraged to submit manuscripts on disk. The disk should be prepared using MS Word or WordPerfect and should be clearly labeled with the authors' names, file name, and software program. A hardcopy printout that exactly matches the disk must be supplied. Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.

All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. All titles should be as brief as possible, 6 to 12 words. Authors should also supply a short version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more than 100 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text.

References

 

References should be listed in alphabetical order and follow the examples listed below with consideration to the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th Edition. In text, reference citations should include author, year of publication, and where needed, page
numbers (Brown 1978, 54). Identity subsequent citations of the source in the same way as the first, not using ibid., op. cit, or loc. cit. Give both last names for dual authors; for more than three use “et al.” in the text. When two authors have the same last name, use identifying initials in the text. Examples:

References to unpublished work or to work not properly indexed should not be used.

Illustrations

 

Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:

Color Reproduction

 

Color illustrations will be considered for publication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in color art reproduction. Color art can be purchased for online only reproduction or for print + online reproduction. Color reprints can only be ordered if print + online reproduction costs are paid. Rates for color art reproduction are: Online Only Reproduction: $225 for the first page of color; $100 for the next three pages of color. A custom quote will be provided for articles with more than four pages of color. A maximum charge of $525 applies. Print +  Online Reproduction: $900 for the first page of color; $450 for the next three pages of color. A custom quote will be provided for articles with more than four pages of color. Art not
supplied at a minimum of 300 dpi will not be considered for print.
 

Tables and Figures

 

Tables and figures/illustrations should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend, with any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number,
author's name, and top edge indicated.

 

Reprints

 

Each corresponding author will receive one copy of the issue in which the article appears. Reprints of individual articles are available for order at the time authors review page proofs. A discount on reprints in available to authors who order before print publication.
