Paper Structure and Submission Guidelines
As a potential author, you should review the most recent issues of FastTIMES at https://fasttimesonline.co to get a feel for article style and length. Length is open, but it is best not to make your paper overly long or overly technical to encourage the broadest possible readership. Roughly speaking, four to six pages of manuscript text and a few compelling figures are reasonable goals. Submissions can be longer or shorter.
The FastTIMES staff prefers to receive a single Microsoft Word file with text and inserted figures included as raster images rather than graphic vector objects. Text will be uploaded using a simple cut-and-paste operation, and figures will be positioned at the location indicated in the author’s Word file. Figures inserted in the Word file as image files typically work well. Figures that contain a superposition of graphic vectors, even if ‘grouped’ in the Word file, are likely to have errors.
Please send your figures as separate image files in addition to the Word file, with obvious file names such as ‘Figure1.jpg’, ‘Figure2.tif’, etc. Color is strongly encouraged. Raster images (jpg or tiff, for example) at a resolution of 300 pixels per inch (120 pixels per cm) or greater at final size are best; images should be at least 1800 pixels in both dimensions. You may send a pdf version of your manuscript to accompany the separate text files and graphic images. Figures and tables should have complete captions.
For citations and references, please follow this format:

References such as this one should be cited in the text as “Smith and others, 2008.”
