Interfaces and Free Boundaries

Submission of manuscripts

Authors may submit their papers electronically in PDF format, according to the instructions below, using the online submission form.

The journal publishes original contributions and occasional survey articles. Intending authors of such surveys should first consult an Editorial Board member. Authors may not submit papers that are under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Each article should have an introduction that is accessible to a wide readership taking into account the interdisciplinary nature of the journal and should include a clear conclusion. The abstract should be a short, clear synopsis of the paper. It should be written as one paragraph, mathematical formulas should be avoided, and it should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material.

Peer Review

Interfaces and Free Boundaries operates a single blind peer review process conducted by external reviewers selected by the editorial board.

Open Access

Interfaces and Free Boundaries is a Subscribe to Open (S2O) journal, which means that articles may be published open access. There are no author fees or article processing charges associated with this model of open access. Open access articles are published under the CC-BY 4.0 license. The articles that are not published with proper open access, are granted the so-called green open access, meaning that the authors’ final version, not edited by the publisher yet, can be posted in institutional or other repositories, as well as on the authors’ institutional web pages without any embargo. These papers become freely accessible – but remain copyright protected – after five years. Authors may review our Terms of Digital Access for further information regarding licenses and repository deposits.

Author Guidelines

We strongly encourage authors to make available LaTeX files for typesetting purposes. Upon final acceptance of papers, authors will be asked to submit all source files and macros together with a PDF file.

Once an article has been accepted for publication, authors are kindly asked to

• download the file ems-journals-template.zip;

• follow the typesetting instructions, also included in the zip file;

• submit their article in well-structured LaTeX using the template and the style file contained in the zip file.

Authors will receive a set of galley proofs of their article for final corrections, and they will be entitled to an electronic copy of the published article.
