Instructions for authors

Submission of Papers
Earthquake Engineering & Engineering Vibration operates an
online submission and peer review system that allows authors to
submit articles online and track their progress via a web interface.
Please visit http://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/eeev and navigate
to the Earthquake Engineering & Engineering Vibration online
submission site. By using the online form to submit your
manuscript, you can minimize the delay until your work will be
considered by the Editorial Office and reviewed by the referees.
Acceptance for publication is subject to the manuscript being an
unpublished work presenting a significant original contribution in
earthquake engineering and/or engineering vibration. Submission
of a manuscript is taken to imply that it is not being considered
for publication elsewhere. The author is responsible for obtaining
any necessary permission to publish from contracting agencies
involved in the work or from holders of copyrights on material
used in the paper.
Manuscript Preparation
Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration conducts
blinded peer-review. When uploading your manuscript you
will need to upload a manuscript file with no identifying author
information (designate as Main Document) and a separate title
page (designate as Title Page) with author details.
Title Page:
The title page should contain: Title, Authors, Affiliations,
Acknowledgement, and Footnotes supplying: Correspondent
authors information including: the full name, complete mailing
address, telephone and fax number, and, if available, e-mail
address; Job titles of all authors; and The name(s) of sponsor(s) of
the research contained in the paper, along with grant number(s),
if any.
General: The manuscript should be provided in single-spaced
typing Time New Roman, 10.5 pt., on A4 size pages in electronic
format using Microsoft Word. It must be written in English and
should not exceed 13,000 word-equivalents. (A journal page
contains approximately 1,300 words.) Technical notes should
not exceed 4,000 word-equivalents. If it is necessary to include
additional information, such as appendices, these should be
submitted electronically for inclusion on a web site for the
journal.
Abstracts: Each paper should include an Abstract of 150-200
words, reporting concisely on the purpose of the work, the scope
of the effort, the procedures used to execute the work (if of special
interest), the major findings, and a list of three to eight keywords.
The abstract must be self-contained, and it must not require
reference to the paper to be understood.
Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Abstract,
Keywords, Main text, Appendix, References, Vitage, Figures
(including captions) and then Tables. Footnotes are to be avoided
(except for table footnotes). Please complete text minus the title
page, acknowledgment, and any running headers with author
names, to allow blinded review.
Units: The SI system is to be used throughout; if it is necessary to
use other units, these should be added in parentheses.

References
References should appear within the text as the author name(s)
followed by the year of publication in parentheses. A list of all
references must be given at the end of the text in alphabetical
order by last name of first author. Make sure the reference
information is complete and accurate, including as necessary
and in the following order: last names and initials of all authors;
year of publication; title of paper, report or book chapter (in
quotes); title of book or periodical (in italic); volume and issue
numbers; name and location of publisher (for books), name and
location of publisher or sponsor for proceedings), or city of
publication (for non-U.S. journals); and inclusive page numbers.
The references should be listed in the following style:

World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, Vol. IX, Istanbul,

Illustrations
All illustrations must be suitable for reproduction (which may
include reduction) without further modifications. Photographs,
charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as Figure(s)" and
must be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are
referred. They can be integrated into the text, in final size, if
possible. Alternatively, they can be grouped together at the end
of the manuscript.
Line drawings: All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs
should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when
the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the
journal. It is recommended to use a sans-serif font, at a 12 pt. size
to ensure clarity when reproduced.
Tables: Tables must be numbered consecutively and given a
suitable caption and can also be integrated into the text with a
suitable size, if possible. Footnotes should be typed below the
table and referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical
rules should be used.
Further information
Proofs will be sent to the author (first named author if no
corresponding author is identified of multi-authored papers) and
should be corrected and returned without delay. The preferred
method of the return of corrections is by e-mail. Corrections
should be restricted to typesetting errors; any others may be
charged to the author.
