TopAuthor Guidelines

Risk Analysis uses an electronic manuscript submission and review management system called ScholarOneManuscripts. With this system, authors submit papers and reviewers submit reviews electronically over the Internet, and correspondence between authors and editors, and reviewers and editors is via email. To submit a manuscript, please follow these instructions: (a) log onto http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/riskanalysis, (b) click on Check for Existing Account. If you do not have an account, click on Create an Account to set up a username and password, (c) Manuscripts may be submitted as Adobe Acrobat PDF format, rich text, or postscript, although PDF is strongly preferred. The site provides a tool to convert documents to PDF, if you do not have Adobe Acrobat software. As the journal has a blind review process, please do not include a title page or any other designation of author names in the electronic submission. You will be asked to provide this information elsewhere, (d) after preparing your manuscript, click on Author Center, (e) click on Submit First Draft of New Manuscript, and (f) follow the instructions on the screen to formally submit the manuscript.

After submitting a manuscript, you should receive an e-mail confirmation that the paper was received. When the reviews are complete, the area editor will send an e-mail to you with further instructions on how to proceed. If you have any questions about this system, or are unable to submit a manuscript via the Internet, please contact the Managing Editor at:

Submission of a manuscript is a representation that it has not been published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. It is also an assurance that all persons listed as authors have made significant (not merely administrative, technical, or supervisory) contributions to the content of the paper and that they each concur with the paper as initially submitted and with all revisions.

As a result of the 1978 Copyright Law, a statement transferring copyright from the authors(s), or their employers (if they hold the copyright), to the Society for Risk Analysis will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The form can be downloaded from the Manuscript Central website.

NEW: Online production tracking is now available for your article through Blackwell's Author Services

Author Services enables authors to track their article -- once it has been accepted -- through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/ for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
