Specifications of an Full Paper

Paper Acceptance Criteria

  1. The paper must represent an original work; review papers must present original insights of general interest.
  2. The paper must be complete, concise and clear. It must have clearly stated objectives, clear descriptions of methods and equipment used, results and conclusions. Related prior work must be acknowledged and the advances made beyond prior work by the author(s) must be stated. References must be specific; specific statements, equations, and results must be cited with page, equation or table number, in addition to author, title, journal or report name and date.
  3. Papers presenting theoretical or experimental models, or correlations, must state explicitly all implied hypotheses, assumptions, idealizations, limitations, and the range of applicability. Results of theoretical models and of correlations must be compared with experimental results, they must include and uncertainty estimation.
  4. Papers on experiments must describe the experimental apparatus and procedures used with the detail sufficient for the reader to determine the validity of the results and whether or not the experimental results are applicable under the circumstances outside the author's test conditions. The presentation of the experimental results must be accompanied by error estimates; where possible, newly presented results should be compared with previously published results.
  5. Papers presenting solutions to current industrial problems must carefully state all implied idealizations, assumptions and limitations and can cite only publicly accessible references, which can be scrutinized by the reader.
  6. Papers presenting a new numerical solution method must include all the necessary criteria for estimating the computational error(s) and establishing the validity of the solution.
  7. Papers presenting the application of known numerical techniques or existing computer codes must include citations to fully scrutable documentation of such techniques or computer codes. The documentation must be published in the open literature and contain all the modeling equations and the algorithms needed in principle to reproduce the presented results. Such applications of existing methods qualify for publication only if complicated problems are solved, where even qualitative understanding is difficult, and only if the author derives from the results new insight of general interest. New design data or design information may be presented also from validated, documented and highly accurate computer codes. All computer code results must include estimates of computational errors.
