Instructions for Authors

Authorship

Submission of a manuscript implies

– that the work described has not been published before;

– that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere;

– that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any;

– that, if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors agree to automatically transfer the copyright to the publisher;

– that the manuscript will not be published elsewhere in any language without the consent of the copyright holder;

– that the manuscript should be written in English.

Submission of Manuscripts

Papers for submission to GAFA should be written in English and in LaTeX, in a format similar to published articles.

The preferred method of submission is electronic submission in the form of a pdf or ps file to the Editorial Office:

e-mail: gafa1@tauex.tau.ac.il

Please note that authors should consider their papers submitted to GAFA only after receiving official confirmation from GAFA's editorial office.

Online First

Accepted manuscripts will be published electronically Online First until they are assigned to an issue.

Reprints

50 reprints of each paper will be supplied free of charge to single authors, and 25 reprints will be supplied free of charge to each co-author of a paper with more than one author. Additional reprints can be obtained through the Publisher.

Open Choice

In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Open Choice now provides an alternative publishing option. An Open Choice article receives all benefits of a regular “subscription-based” article, but in addition the full text is made available publicly through the journal’s online platform SpringerLink immediately after publication.

To publish via Open Choice upon acceptance of your article, please complete the relevant order form and provide the required payment information; the order form will be sent to you by our production department together with the page proofs of your article. Payment must be received in full before publication or articles will be published as a regular subscription-model article. For further information please see the link "Open Choice" under "For Authors and Editors" (right side of the GAFA website).

The copyright covers the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the article by means of printing, reprinting or any other method deemed appropriate by the Publisher including electronic means, photographic reproductions, microfilm or any other reproductions of similar nature, as well as translations.

How can you help improve your manuscript for publication?
