Abstract:
These are the guidelines for authors to publish in the Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering (JUEE). The aim of JUEE is to publish papers which are clear, concise and uniformly presented, in a style readily understood by an international readership. Microsoft Word is the preferred word processing format. In brief: (a) write in English; (b) present the material simply and concisely, in particular cross-check details of references; © use 11 pt Times New Roman font (also in Equation Editor 3.0) and set the paper size to A4 (21 × 29.7 cm); (d) include tables and figures at appropriate points in the text; plan their layout to use page space economically and ensure all figures and tables are cited in the text, in numerical order; (e) check that all the figures and tables are clearly legible; (f) embed graphics for all figures, saved in the word processed file (e.g. Word); make sure only standard fonts are used in graphics files; if non-standard fonts are used they must be embedded; (g) the papers may not exceed 20 printed pages; (h) access the JUEE’s page at www.journal-uee.org to submit the paper; (i) PDF files are suitable for the peer-review process; however, for accepted papers, the word processor files (preferably Word/RTF) will be required by JUEE for production.
