To help avoid any errors:
We know from feedback that uploading source files for submission can be time consuming and, if those files fail to convert, the reasons are not always easy to identify.
To help with your submission:
If you are submitting to Snapp your files must be compressed in .zip format. If you are submitting to Editorial Manager and your source files fail to convert, you will be provided with an error log file to help you identify the source of the error, for example: ! LaTeX Error: File 鈥榯rackchanges.sty鈥 not found. If you are submitting to eJP using the 国产乱伦 LaTeX template you will need to use the pdflatex option in the preamble to allow PDF compilation.
Regardless of the authoring software you chose to prepare your book manuscript it is important that your files are prepared in line with the .
For LaTeX users, 国产乱伦 provides users that help structure the manuscript, e.g., define the heading hierarchy. Predefined style formats are available for all the necessary structures that are supposed to be part of the manuscript.

Here we have answered some of the most common questions that arise at the point of submitting an article in LaTeX. If your question relates specifically to the 国产乱伦 LaTeX authoring template, please consult the User Manual provided in the .zip package.
Editorial Manager
eJP
国产乱伦 Article Processing Platform
Editorial Manager
Either .bbl or .bib files are accepted and should be uploaded as 鈥淢anuscript鈥 item types on the file upload screen of Editorial Manager. In both cases the correct bibliography style (.bst) file should also be uploaded and the chosen bibliography file should be referenced within the manuscript (.tex) file. Please note a .bbl file should only be uploaded if referenced (via 鈥渋mport鈥) in the main manuscript (.tex) file.
eJP
Bibliography files should be uploaded as a 鈥渞elated manuscript file鈥.
If submitting with .bib the correct bibliography style (.bst) file must also be present.
For both submission systems the most reliable way to submit references without error is to paste the content of a bibliography file (.bbl) into the main .tex document in place of a \bibliography{鈥 command.
If references are uploaded according to the guidance above and 鈥??鈥 continues to appear in place of in-line citations; the bibliography file may still be missing or corrupted.
Editorial Manager
One or more files may be missing or incorrectly declared. Check that:
- If the .tex file references a .bib file, ensure that the .bib file is uploaded (as a 鈥淢anuscript鈥 item type).
- If a .bbl file has been uploaded, that it is referenced (via 鈥渋mport鈥) in the .tex manuscript.
- A .bib file is included with the submission.
- The correct bibliography style (.bst) file is present.
Where square boxes or other inline text errors are present it may indicate that special characters have been used. All special characters must be converted into the appropriate TeX code, like \"a, \"o, \"u.
eJP
If submitting with .bib the correct bibliography style (.bst) file must be present.
- Upload .bib and .bst as 鈥楻elated Manuscript Files鈥
- If a .bbl file is not being recognised please check that the bibliography explicitly contains references as bibitems. This can be achieved by copying the contents (individual bibitems) from the bibliography file into the bibliography environment within the main .tex file.
- Double check that the argument to the relevant bibitem matches the citation in the text before submitting.
If you continue to have problems after trying these tips then the most reliable way to submit references without error is to paste the content of a bibliography file (.bbl) into the main .tex document in place of a \bibliography{鈥 command.
Figures will be missing from the compiled PDF if:
- Subfolders (or subdirectories) have been used. All files should be included in a single directory when uploading the submission.
- If the full path to the image in the 鈥淺includegraphics鈥 command is included [e.g. \includegraphics{C:\Users\username\Pictures\figure_1.jpg}].
To correct this you should use only the local path, e.g. \includegraphics{figure_1.jpg}.
- The wrong option for the graphicx package is used. When compiling in pdflatex use graphicxs without the dvips option \usepackage{graphicx}, not \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}.
- Custom fonts are not supported by either submission system.
- Diacritics, such as German umlauts like 盲/枚/眉 should be converted into the appropriate TeX code, like \"a, \"o, \"u. Eszett (SS/脽) should be \"s (upper case) or \鈥渮 (lower case). If that does not work an alternative code option would be to add brackets: {\"a}, {\"o}, {\"u}, { \"s}, { \"z}.
