Abstract. The aims, scope and conclusions of the paper must be in a self-contained abstract of a single paragraph
with 60-120 words. The abstract must be informative and not just indicative and contain a summary of the
significant results reported in the paper. No references should be cited. Avoid mathematical expressions as far as
possible. Just below the abstract, up to six keywords should be provided.
1. Introduction
This Guide has been prepared for authors of papers submitted to JACM (Journal of Applied and Computational
Mechanics). Prospective authors are invited to submit papers that fit within the scope of the journal.
2. Submission of Manuscripts
The submission process for Journal of Applied and Computational Mechanics is handled electronically. The manuscript
should be submitted through JACM Editorial office at: jacm.scu.ac.ir. The manuscripts should be in English. Submission of a
paper implies that the work described has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication
elsewhere, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form without the written consent of the
Publisher.
3. Types of Papers
3.1 Original Paper
A paper that reports technically original research output, which has academic and/or industrial contributions. Original
papers undergo full peer review.
3.2 Review Paper
A brief evaluation of a current technology, application or product. Publication of a submitted review paper is determined by
the editor.
4. Copyright
JACM copyright form should accompany your submission. You can get the .PDF form version on-line. All authors have to

sign the copyright transfer form. The signed copyright form has to be scanned and uploaded by using the corresponding
interface on the web-site.
5. Manuscript Preparation
Detailed instructions on manuscript preparation are listed below. The editor reserves the right to return manuscripts that do
not conform to the instructions for manuscript preparation, as well as paper that do not fit the scope of the journal, prior to
refereeing.
The manuscript should be prepared using the present template.
6.1 General
The manuscript should be submitted in a word 2007 .doc file. Although we set no strict maximum number of pages, it is
recommended to summarize the content within 12 pages in the present single column format. Colored figures can be included
but it is recommended to set the file size to be 1MB/10 pages with the maximum of 3MB/10 pages, considering the time
required to download the paper.
6.2 Layout
Place figures and tables where they are referred to for the first time in the main text. Use the current spacing, font size and
types. Number all pages consecutively.
6.3 Elements of a Paper
The basic elements of a paper are title, author names and affiliations, abstract and keywords, body of paper,
acknowledgments, nomenclature, appendices, references, which should be presented in the order suggested.
6. Body of Paper
7.1 Originality
If the material has been published elsewhere and the paper does not include new understanding of the material or new idea,
it cannot be accepted.
7.2 Reliability
The paper should not include any apparent errors in the main body of theory, equations, experiments and understanding of
the results.
7.3 Expression and Structure
The expressions and the structure should be clear and concise. The paper should present proper logics and discussions on
the results obtained.
7.4 Mathematics
Particular care should be exercised in identifying all symbols and in avoiding ambiguities. Equation numbers should appear
in parenthesis and be numbered consecutively. All equation numbers must appear on the right-hand side of the equation.
Equations can be referenced within the text as “eq. (1).” When the reference to an equation begins a sentence, the abbreviation
“eq.” should be spelled out, e.g., “Equation (1).”

7.5 Figures
The figures should be clear and large enough so that all letters in the figures are readable. All figures should be placed
where they are referred to for the first time and be numbered consecutively and have a proper caption. This number should be
used when referring to the figure in text. Figure references should be included within the text in numerical order according to
their order of appearance. Figures should be referenced within the text as “Fig. 1.” When the reference to a figure begins a
sentence, the abbreviation “Fig.” should be spelled out, e.g., “Figure 1.”
7.6 Tables
All tables should be placed where they appear in the text for the first time and should be numbered consecutively and have
a proper caption. This number should be used when referring to the table in text. Table references should be included within
the text in numerical order according to their order of appearance.
8. Conclusion
The nomenclature list should be in alphabetical order with Greek symbols, also in alphabetical order and with a separate
heading, following the alphabetical listing. Subscripts and superscripts should follow Greek symbols and should be identified
with separate headings.
All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text,
make references using a number in square brackets on the line (e.g. Shishesaz and Moradi [1]) and the full reference should be
given in a numerical list at the end of the text. References should be styled according to the following examples: journal article
[1], book [2], thesis [3], report [4]; proceedings [5], and patent [6].
