Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
• The submission file has been prepared in LaTeX, using the class file and template provided in the Authors Guidelines. Papers prepared with other typesetting software (e.g. OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format) should adhere to the style requirements in the template. In either case (LaTeX or else) a camera-ready PDF should be provided, along with all source files (text, figures, tables, bibliography, supplementary material).
• Where available, DOIs or URLs for the references have been provided.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
