Journal of Cave and Karst Studies
ONLINE SUBMISSION SYSTEM
https://www.editorialmanager.com/jcks
The Journal of Cave and Karst Studies accepts
all manuscript submissions via the PeerTrack Editorial Manager, a
web-based system for on-line submission. Reviewers will also complete and
submit their reviews online using the same management system. The system is
fully integrated allowing for electronic uploads, database management and
e-mail notifications to keep the process moving smoothly and sustainably for an
easier, faster, and less expensive publication process. Manuscripts, CDs, and
USB drives no longer need to be mailed around the world nor will there be
problems with overfull e-mail boxes resulting from very large graphics files.
PeerTrack is available from any computer, operating system, and
platform anywhere in the world with an internet connection. This arrangement
has allowed for increased international submissions to all North American-based
earth-science journals that have adopted web-based submission systems. Access
by authors, editors, or reviewers can continue even while traveling, so delays
should become a thing of the past.
Authors submitting
a manuscript to the Journal
of Cave and Karst Studies can access the system at the
link below and will need to first establish a login username and password.
Once logged in, just ollow the prompts to upload your
manuscript, figures, and tables. The web site will then create a PDF of the
manuscript with line numbers for the author to review and approve. Once
approved by the author, the manuscript will then be assigned an associate
editor and the review process will be initiated.
