1. General information
结构工程师欢迎提交完整的文章（或初始摘要）供考虑。首先，应提供捐款：[email protected]
始终考虑适用性的文章 - 最初由机构的出版部门，其次是至少一名编辑咨询小组成员（所有这些都是特许结构工程师）。在适当的情况下，文章还将接受专家同行评审。然后，将向作者通知该决定，以及任何必需的修订。
要求发表作者将收到一个鳍al PDF of their article for personal use, along with up to five print copies of the issue in which their article appears.
2. Copyright
All authors who are不是该机构的成员必须签署Licence to publishform as soon as their article is accepted for publication.
根据该机构的规定10.2，authors who are Institution members do not need to signa Licence to publish form。
Copyright for the text and imagery remains with the authors.
Copyright for the design and layout of the article resides with the Institution.
3. Submitting an article
结构工程师寻求在其所有五个主要部分中考虑的文章 - 详细信息如下。无论提交的文章类型如何作者和演示者的可持续性笔记。
Features
具有广泛范围的文章，通常伴随着重要的机构奖或活动。
Article length: ideally around 2500–3000 words (5000 max.) plus 10–15 accompanying diagrams/images.
Project focus
Peer-reviewed articles focusing on the structural engineering challenges faced during the design and build stages of a construction project.
鼓励作者对整个项目进行简要描述，然后更详细地关注设计最感兴趣的设计的关键方面。
Where possible, authors are also encouraged to include a 'learning point' – a more detailed explanation of a design, analysis or construction technique that peers may be able to put to use in their own work.
Article length: ideally around 2500–3000 words (5000 max.) plus 10–15 accompanying diagrams/images.
Case studies
还欢迎对小规模或国内项目（或关注大型项目的特别挑战性方面）的案例研究。如上所述，这些应该集中在同行者感兴趣的项目的任何异常或挑战性方面。
Article length: around 2000 words plus 5–10 accompanying diagrams/images.
Professional guidance
Articles that provide information and advice on everyday matters affecting the practising structural engineer.
文章长度：最多2000个单词（最大）加上伴随的图表/图像。
技术的
本质上是技术性的文章，重点是分析方法，材料特性和结构设计的各个方面。
文章长度：2000–3000字（最大）加上8–12个伴随图/图像。
Opinion
Letters or longer 'Viewpoint' articles – on topics of current interest that offer personal insight or opinion and encourage further discussion/debate.
Article length: 1500 words (max.) plus accompanying diagrams/imagery.
Letters should be short and succinct.
Research (2014)
随着发射结构（与Elsevier合作发表的新研究杂志）在2015年初，结构工程师不再接受基于研究的文章。

4. House style
一旦接受了一篇文章的出版，它将被出版部门编辑，根据该杂志的房屋风格进行编辑。团队设计和校对文章后，贡献者将提供文章“证明”，该文章为作者提供了一个机会，在本文最终确定出版之前就提交了较小的变更建议。
However, some basic stylistic guidelines should be observed by authors, prior to initial submission:
UK English
Articles should be written using UK English. If English is not the author's first language, they are strongly encouraged to seek the advice of a native English speaker as part of the article preparation process.
文件格式
Initially, both text and images should be supplied as a single PDF or Word document (with low-resolution image files inserted in the document).
同行评审和验收后,单独的,嗨gh-resolution image files should be supplied, together with the final text as aWord文档。
Authors may need to use a file-sharing service (e.g. WeTransfer) if the image files are particularly large.
作者归因和新学者
Authors can be attributed to an article using either *Christian name, Surname* or *Christian name, Initial, Surname* formats.
作者还应提供其隶属关系，包括位置。
Inclusion of author post-nominals (e.g. MIStructE, FIStructE) is at the author's discretion. Authors are responsible for supplying this information.
Spacing
Avoid the use of double spacing at the end of a sentence.
Synopses
Feature, Project focus and Technical articles should contain a synopsis (150 words max.) positioned before the introduction.
子头和结构
Authors are encouraged to structure their article clearly, using subheadings to 'signpost' the reader through the text. It is recommended that authors include a short introduction setting out the scope of the article and making clear what level of prior knowledge is assumed of readers, as well as a brief conclusion.
Figures, equations and tables
图形，方程式和表应在文本中顺序引用。缩写的“图”。和“等式”应将其用于后续提及特定的图形/方程式。
A list ofconciseFigure captions (10 words max. and avoiding the use of words like 'the' and 'a' where possible) should be provided at the end of the article.
For line drawings, a line weight of at least 0.06mm should be used to ensure clear reproduction in print.
Equations should be clearly separated from the body text through the use of line breaks and denoted by a parenthesised numeral e.g. '(1)'. Equations should be set using either the Word equation editor or MathType.
Authors must seek permission from the copyright owners of any Figures/Tables that are not their own. If these need to be credited, please supply the name/s of the copyright owner/s in a list at the end of the article.
Referencing
In-text mentions of a particular reference should be denoted using a superscript numeral. It is often unnecessary to identify the reference more than once.
References should be numbered sequentially, in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text.
A reference list, corresponding to the superscript numerals used in the text (and including all the necessary details described below), must be provided at the end of the article.
