Their technical understanding must not rely on any unpublished material. OPTICA PUBLISHING GROUP Plagiarism GuidelinesĪuthors acknowledge adherence to these regulations through execution of the IEEE Copyright Form upon online submission through ScholarOne Manuscripts.Īll JLT submissions are expected to be self-contained. Please also check the following links for more information: – Note that “significant added value” can take many forms, including a more elaborate placement into the context of previously reported results within a field, more elaborate technical descriptions, discussions, and interpretations of methods or results, results that go beyond those previously reported, important intermediate results or non-trivial derivations that were not previously shown, etc. This is the guideline that our Editorial Board uses to determine whether or not a JLT submission contains enough new material or not.

In order to determine whether your JLT submission contains enough new material compared to any of your previously published journal or conference, please self-assess whether a reader who has access to your JLT paper in addition to all of your previously published work would consider the JLT paper of significant added value. While IEEE and OPTICA PUBLISHING GROUP do support evolutionary publishing of an author's own body of work, it is mandatory in such cases to (1) minimize direct 1:1 overlap in text and figures wherever possible, (2) properly reference the earlier paper(s) whenever copies of text and figures are made, and (3) highlight in the introduction the technical advances of the submission to JLT with respect to earlier work.

An essentially similar copy of the same paper must not have been submitted nor must it be submitted at a later point in time to any other journal or conference. Examples of activities that alone (without the other three contributions) do not qualify a contributor for authorship are acquisition of funding general supervision of a research group or general administrative support and writing assistance, technical editing, language editing, and proofreading.Īll JLT manuscripts have to be original and the authors’ own body of work. (This implies an agreement of accountability for the published work.)Ĭontributors who meet fewer than all 3 of the above criteria for authorship should not be listed as co-authors, but may be acknowledged. Approved the final version of the article as accepted for publication, including references.Contributed to drafting the article or reviewing and/or revising it for intellectual content AND.Made a significant intellectual contribution to the theoretical development, system or experimental design, prototype development, and/or the analysis and interpretation of data associated with the work contained in the article AND.

If so, please review our author instructions for format, naming convention and size guidelines found here. The abstract must be written as one paragraph, and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material. In particular, the abstract must be self-contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. The abstract must be a concise yet comprehensive reflection of the main statements made in your article. Contributed submissions may be 7 pages in length, optionally including author biographies, before incurring mandatory over length page charges (see below).
