Papers must be submitted in machine-readable Microsoft Word format (.doc or .rtf), Postscript (.ps) or Portable Document Format (.pdf). The cover page of the paper must identify the kind of manuscript being provided and the key areas that are the subject of the paper. See Editorial Policy for a list of manuscript types and key areas.
Please note the JOPT uses a double-blind process for review. As such, prior to manuscript acceptance for publication, the management requests that any identifying information, such as the authors' names, email address, or contact information are withheld from documents which will be provided to referees. Furthermore, bibliographic references should be adjusted to maintain the anonymity of the authors.
A single author or point of contact must be designated by the submitter(s) to receive further correspondence. When a paper is received, its receipt is acknowledged. It is examined by the Editors for general suitability and conformance to editorial policy and then passed to one or more members of the Editorial Board, who referee the submission and/or pass it on to other suitable reviewers. The reviews are anonymous; that is, the identity of the reviewers is not known to the Editors.When at least three favorable reviews have been received, the submission is ripe for consideration by the Editors. When a submission is accepted, the author(s) are notified and publication occurs immediately after final editing of the manuscript for typographical errors, correct citations, and the like. Normally, submissions are acted upon within 60 days.
While authors are encouraged to make reference in their submissions to material available on the Internet, the ephemeral nature of such material may interfere with the Journal's mission as an archived publication of record. Therefore, no URLs may appear in a final published paper unless they are persistent or unless permission has been secured by the author for the Journal to retain an online copy of the referenced content in perpetuity.
Publication
Publication is rolling in the sense that accepted submissions are published immediately upon acceptance after peer and editorial review. The Journal does not have separate volumes and issues in the traditional sense. Articles will be numbered by date of publication in the format YYYYMMDDXXX, where XXX is a sequence number. For example, 20040302003 indicates the third research paper published on March 2, 2004.
The University Libraries of Carnegie Mellon University have undertaken to provide a permanent online archive for the Journal with persistent URLs so that the entire contents of the Journal will be available free of charge in perpetuity.
Tenure Qualification. Because the research papers in the Journal will be subjected to thorough peer review, it is expected that the online nature of publication will positively reflect on the quality of its papers in the eyes of tenure and promotion review committees. Toward this goal, the Institute for Software Research International, a division of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, has agreed to regard publication in the Journal as the equivalent of publication in a print journal.
Copyright
The author(s) retain any copyright in submitted material. The Journal receives only a non-exclusive License, for the term of any copyright, to reproduce, distribute, perform, index, archive and display publicly any works submitted, either online, in print or in any other form. The Journal neither receives nor pays any fee for submitted articles, regardless of whether they are eventually published.
By submitting an article, the author(s) certify (1) that they have the right to submit the article for publication and to grant the above License to the Journal; and (2) except as may be noted in writing accompanying the submission, that the article has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. In general, the Journal will accept suitable papers that may have appeared previously as technical reports or in other non-archival forms, but will not publish articles that have been published in archival journals.
