Submission Guidelines

  1. Manuscripts are to be submitted online via Editorial Manager (EM), a fully web-based submission, peer-review, and tracking system. Manuscripts submitted by email to nano@wspc.com will be accepted only when there are problems in the online submission system.
  2. New Authors: If you are submitting via the online system for the first time, you will first be required to register. From the account you create, you will be able to monitor your submission and make subsequent submissions.
  3. Manuscripts are to be prepared according to the instructions provided. They should preferably be prepared using a TEX style file or MS Word file. Authors are allowed to check their proofs before publication. Free TEX program is available at http://www.tug.org/interest.html#free.

  7. All manuscripts will be subjected to a prescreening process by the Editors for novelty, scope, and quality. If the Editors find that a paper does not meet the scope or the quality standards of NANO or lacks novelty, it may be rejected without peer review.
