| INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTRIBUTORS
The
Journal is published in English. The primary goal of Latin
American Applied Research is to act as a forum for communications
across all branches of Chemical Engineering, Applied Chemistry,
Heat & Mass Transfer, Applied Mechanics and Control &
Information Processing, and especially to facilitate interaction
between theory and experimental set-up.
Submission of a manuscript signifies that it has neither been
copyrighted, published, nor submitted or accepted for
publication elsewhere. Articles and any other material
published in Latin American Applied Research represent
the opinion of the authors and should not be construed to
reflect the opinion of the Editors and the Editorial Press.
All manuscripts will be assessed by at least two independent
referees, preferably one from Latin America and the other from
outside. The names of reviewers are kept confidential and the
manuscript will not be returned to the authors. Once a paper
is accepted for publication, the author is assumed to have
transferred its copyright to the Publisher. The Publisher will
not, however, put any limitation on the personal freedom of
the author to use material from the paper in other
publications.
TYPES OF PUBLICATIONS
a) REVIEWS
- Critiques
of important areas of the subjects of interest, written to
inform the general readers of the background, state of the
art, and outstanding research problems.
b)
RESEARCH PAPERS -
Full-length papers describing important new experimental or
theoretical
|
|
results. Multiple part papers are discouraged.
A small fraction of educational articles
will be considered if they contribute to the enhancement of
the main topics of the journal at the university level.
c) NOTES
- These
should contain comments or remarks submitted by readers or
authors in connection with previously published material.
The
manuscript should rarely exceed 10 pages in camera-ready format
for Reviews and Research papers. A charge per page will be
applied for those articles exceeding 10 printed pages in camera
ready format.
The
instructions and macros for camera-ready format can be consulted
in the web page of the journal: http://www.laar.uns.edu.ar.
The authors are strongly encouraged to follow those guidelines
to speed up the publication process. The Editorial Management
will perform a style revision of any manuscript between two
and four months of the acceptation date. The authors should
contact the Editorial Management or the Editors-in-Chief in
case they do not receive the corrections before four months
of the acceptation date.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
In order to speed up the revision process, LAAR encourages the
electronic submission of manuscripts. They should be directed
to the single address
laar@uns.edu.ar. If the authors prefer to submit
hard-copies, they should be sent directly to the
Editor-in-Chief J. Alberto Bandoni, and provide an electronic
version once the paper is accepted.
