Submission Guidelines

Manuscripts of regular issues are submitted online via Editorial Manager (EM), a fully web-based submission, peer-review, and tracking system.
  • If you are submitting via this system for the first time, you will first be required to register. You are encouraged to include in your user information the ORCID (http://orcid.org/) or register for one if you don't have it already. This ID will help to identify you in the researcher community and make it easier to keep track of all your publications.
  • From the account you create, you will be able to monitor your submission and make subsequent submissions.
  • Submission of a manuscript indicates a tacit understanding that the paper is not under consideration for publication with other journals. Once a paper is accepted, authors are assumed to have transferred the copyright of the paper to World Scientific. Authors are encouraged to include their funding information in the submission to facilitate the potential conversion to open access once the paper is accepted.
  • There is no page charge to publish in JNOPM. On the other hand, we offer the option to publish in Gold Open Access for US$2200 per article.

    For more information, please visit https://www.worldscientific.com/jnopm/openaccess or contact jnopm@wspc.com.

  • Authors are encouraged to format their contributions using Latex2e according to the detailed instructions provided in this download (readme).
  • Authors receive FREE PDFs of their published articles (rather than free paper offprints). Authors who would like paper offprints will still be able to order them at reasonable rates (please request an order form).
  • Further details on the manuscript requirements are given below.
IMPORTANT: Visit our Author Rights page to find out about the permissions given to authors to use their PDFs as well as their submitted or accepted preprint articles.

The manuscript, including an abstract of not more than 100 words, references, tables, figures and figure captions, should be typed in English, double-spaced with ample margins around the text.

Legible, compact notation should be used, conforming to current practice. Each symbol must be clear, either typed neatly or written in ink and properly aligned to distinguish superscripts and subscripts. Numerical fractions are preferably put on one line, e.g. 1/2. Section headings are numbered in arabic; so are tables and figures. Each page of the manuscript should be numbered at the top.

Footnotes should be indicated consecutively in the text with superscript lower case letters. References are numbered consecutively using superscript arabic numerals in the order of citation. Footnotes and references should be listed separately at the end of the text material. The preferred format of the references is indicated below:

  1. N. Bloembergen and P. S. Pershan, Light waves at the boundary of nonlinear media, Phys. Rev. 128 (1962) 606.
  2. N. Bloembergen, Nonlinear Optics 4th Ed. (World Scientific, Singapore, 2005).
  3. R. W. Lucky, Communication with urceolate signal, in Palimpsest on Communications, ed. N. C. Baskerville (Pleasantville, New York, 1978) chp. 2,pp. 74–76.
  4. W. K. Chen, Design considerations of the impedance-matching networks having the elliptic gain response — Proc. 18th Midwest Symp. Circuits and Systems,Montreal, Canada (Aug. 1975), pp. 322–326.
Tables and figures are also numbered in the order in which they are cited in the text. Each table and each figure should occupy a separate page. Original indian-ink drawings or glossy prints are preferred and they should be large enough for reduction to a minimum of 50% of their original size. The final printed size of the figure cannot exceed 5 in. × 7.5 in. At the bottom of each figure the names of the authors, the title of the paper and the figure number should be clearly typed. A list of figure captions should be given on a separate sheet.

Detailed instructions for preparation of manuscripts are available in: Latex2e (readme / Download)
