• Formatting for Peer Review

The text of your submission should be no longer than 2,500 words including references, tables, and figure text/captions; however, in the case of research papers for master’s and Ph.D. projects, the maximum word limit is 6000. If your thesis has a higher word count then contact the Research Lead prior to your submission. Each page should be numbered. On the first page, list the title and the name(s) of the author(s); please include full contact information for the corresponding author (the author who will interact with the managing editor). For expediency and efficiency, we request that all correspondence regarding the submission come solely from the designated corresponding author. Authors’ names should be listed in the order you wish them to be published considering the contribution of the authors. Use as little word processing formatting as possible—no more than is needed for clarity.

• References

References are only required for the Research Manuscripts. Your reference list, which should be submitted on a separate page, should include complete citations for only those references cited in the text. Number your references sequentially in the text using superscript. Note: You may “jump around” with references (e.g., 1, 2, 14, 5). Do not label references as footnotes or endnotes. Simply list them at the end of your manuscript in a reference list. Please use the following guidelines when compiling your reference list. Book references should include the following:

1. Name of the author(s), the editor(s), or the institution responsible for writing the book
2. Full title of the book, including any subtitle
3. Volume number or total number of volumes of a multi-volume work;
4. Edition number (if not the original)
5. City, state/province, and country of publication
6. Publisher’s name
7. Date of publication.

Example 1. Stover, V.G. and F.J. Koepke. Transportation and Land Development. Washington, DC, USA: Institute of Transportation Engineers, 1987.

Authors’ names should be spelled and listed as they appear on the title pages of their books; degrees or affiliations should be omitted. In the case of multiple authors, all authors should be listed; the first author’s name is listed last name first (Stover, V.G.), and the other authors are listed normally (F.J. Koepke). If a publication issued by an organization lists no author’s name on the title page, then the organization should be listed as the author. 

Journal/Magazine References

References for items published in a journal or magazine should include the following:

1. Name of the authors(s)
2. Article title in quotes
3. Title of journal/magazine
4. Volume, number, and issue date
5. Inclusive page numbers.

Example 2. Jain, R. “Traffic Management During Reconstruction of I-91 in Connecticut.” ITE Journal, Vol. 57, No. 10 (October 1987): 29–32.

 All unsolicited submissions undergo a peer review. Following the ethical guidelines. After acknowledgement and in-house review (including plagiarism check) by ITE Pakistan staff, each submission selected for peer review is sent to three to five transportation professionals considered experts in the topic area. The review process takes some time, although it sometimes may take longer due to issues such as reviewer availability. After the review process, the Research Lead makes a final decision (e.g., acceptance, minor revision needed, major revision needed, or rejection) and informs the author. Once a submission has been accepted for publication; it is scheduled in the next available issue of ITE Pakistan Journal, with consideration given to the topic’s relationship to an editorial theme.

All manuscripts are then edited for clarity, grammar, readability, and style. If your submission is accepted, you will be asked to submit additional items needed for publication.
