Advantages to Publishing in Connections

Second, publishing in Connections does not prevent you from publishing the same material elsewhere; we automatically grant permission. Third, hardcopy circulation of Connections is over 1,100. The web versions of articles in Connections receive a lot of attention: articles in recent issues were viewed more than 34,000 times in 2005; more than 45,000 times in 2006.
Instructions for Authors
CONNECTIONS publishes original empirical, theoretical, tutorial, and methodological articles that use social network analysis. The journal seeks to publish significant work from any domain that is relevant to social network applications and methods. Review articles that critically review and synthesize a body of published research, are normally by invitation only. Commentaries or short papers in response to previous articles published in the journal are also considered for publication. Authors who wish to submit a commentary, book review, network image or review article should first e-mail the editors with a brief description. Overlap between submitted manuscripts and published abstracts will be allowed, provided that such abstracts are not verbatim reproductions of the previously published abstract.

Submitting Manuscripts
Authors are required to submit manuscripts online to the editor, Tom Valente at tvalente@usc.edu. Expect a notice of receipt of your manuscript via email within one week. Feedback from the editor and reviewers will be sent to the corresponding author within six months after receipt. Revised or resubmitted manuscripts should include a detailed explanation of how the author has dealt with each of the reviewer's and Editor's comments. For questions or concerns about the submission process, authors should contact the editor.

Manuscripts must be in MS Word or WordPerfect format and should not exceed 40 pages including tables, figures and references. Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order: title page, acknowledgments, abstract, text, references, appendices, and figure legends. Format and style of manuscript and references should conform to the conventions specified in the latest edition of Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Include author's contact information in the title page. Abstracts should be limited to 250 words. Please embed all images, tables and figures in the document. If you have a large figure, you may also send it as a separate file. A figure and its legend should be sufficiently informative that the results can be understood without reference to the text.
