How to submit your paper
When you first log on to our online manuscript submission system,
http://groundwater.msubmit.net/
, you will be required to create a user profile and a password. After your user profile is accepted, choose the "Submit Manuscript" option, making sure you have the following information ready for uploading:
All authors' first and last names, postal addresses, work telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses
Title, which you can cut and paste from your manuscript
Abstract, which you can also cut and paste from your manuscript
Manuscript files in PDF, Word, EPS, Text, Postscript, or RTF format (
PLEASE NOTE that if your paper is accepted for publication, the publisher will need to have it sent as a Microsoft Word file—the other formats are acceptable only for the review process
)
Figures/images embedded in the manuscript file, or in external files in TIF, PDF, or EPS format (
PLEASE NOTE that if your paper is accepted for publication, the publisher will need them sent in the manner described in high-quality figures
)
E-mail address and institution of desired peer reviewers (if any).
After pressing the "continue" button, you will be presented with four screens that gather detailed information about your manuscript and allow you to upload the pertinent files.
The sequence of screens is:
A long form asking for author, title, abstract, and file quantities
A screen asking for the actual file locations via an open file dialog (after completing this screen, your files will be uploaded to our server)
A completion screen that will provide you with a specific manuscript number for your manuscript
An approval screen that will allow you to verify your manuscript uploaded and converted correctly.
While you will be notified via e-mail when a decision is reached on your manuscript, you may log in to the online manuscript submission system at any time to check on the status of your manuscript.
You may also log in to the online manuscript submission system at any time to change your user profile or registration. Please note, however, that changes to the online manuscript submission system do not update your NGWA membership records.
