Welcome to Autosoft Journal

Instructions for Contributors

The journal will consider two types of papers: articles and short papers. Articles will be full-length papers (between 9-16 pages in length) reporting original contributions or significant results. Short papers (between 5-8 pages in length) present new ideas, preliminary and brief results. Papers emphasizing applications are especially welcome.

To facilitate communication, the address, phone number, fax number, and email address of the corresponding author should be given at the time of paper submission. Papers should be written in English and arranged in the following order:
1) title of the paper
2) name of all authors with affiliations and mailing address for each author
3) an abstract (50-100 words) containing the purpose, scope, contribution of the paper
4) up to 10 keywords with the first keyword being the most pertinent one
5) introduction
6) main body of the paper divided into sections and subsections where appropriate
7) conclusion
8) references
9) appendices (if any).

Submitted papers should be prepared electronically in PDF format using a Roman typeface for your manuscript whenever possible (i.e., Times or Times Roman). All paragraphs in the manuscript should be double spaced and typed flush with the left. Do not indent paragraphs, but allow extra space between them. Italicize words to be printed in italics and bold words to be printed in bold.

Both equations and figures must be numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals. Captions for figures should be in sentence format with the format with the first word capitalized and a period at the end. Please provide a separate list (separate from the text) of all captions. Equations should be numbered sequentially with the number enclosed in parenthesis and placed at the right margin.

References should be listed separately at the back of the paper and numbered sequentially to match the notes within the text. Type each reference note using brackets, e.g. [2]. Please remember that every note in the text should have a corresponding note in the reference list. Type the reference list in the following manner:

(for books, single author) 1. Author’s Last Name, First Name/Initial. Title of Book (italicized). Publisher’s Name, Year of Publication, pp.222-233.
(for journals, two or more authors) 2. Author’s Last Name, First Name/Initial, and Second Author’s First Name, Last Name. "Title of Article (in quotes)." Name of Journal (italicized). Publisher’s Name, Month and Year, pp.23-26.

The paper should be uploaded on this website by logging in as an author.
