Applied and Computational
Harmonic Analysis,
an interdisciplinary journal, publishes high-quality papers in all areas related to the applied and computational
aspects of harmonic analysis with special emphasis on the subjects of wavelets--waveform analysis, signal processing, and numerical algorithms.
The word wavelets is considered in its broadest sense, covering methods for construction of special purpose waveforms and their
relations to signal processing, time-frequency, phase-space analysis, subband coding, fast numerical computations, and other related
areas. This journal aims to provide a common link among engineers, scientists, and mathematicians. All papers must include in the introduction
one or two paragraphs stating the goal or motivation in more general terms for the benefit of readers outside the author's specialized
field.
In addition to regular (full) papers, this journal publishes Letters to the Editors and Case Studies. Letters to the Editors
are short papers (up to 10 printed pages) of high quality. They can be submitted directly for publication to any member of the editorial
board for quick review. Case Studies are short articles (up to 4 printed pages) that briefly describe interesting applications related
to time-frequency analysis, time- scale analysis, or harmonic analysis, with reference to the full papers submitted to or published in
more specialized journals. Like Letters to the Editors, Case Studies can be submitted directly to a member of the editorial board. Authors
are also encouraged to provide software whenever available.
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be written in
clear, concise, and grammatical English. Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically by using online manuscript submission
available at http://ees.elsevier.com/acha. This site will guide authors
stepwise through the submission process. Authors can upload their articles as LaTeX, Microsoft (MS) Word, or WordPerfect files. The Elsevier
LaTeX package (including detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation) can be obtained from the Quickguide:  http://www.elsevier.com/latex.
It consists of the files: elsart.cls, guidelines for users of elsart, a template file for quick start, and the instruction booklet "reparing
articles with LaTeX".
It is also possible to submit an article in PostScript or Adobe Acrobat PDF format, but if the article is accepted,
the original source files will be needed. If you submit a word processing file, the system generates an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of
the article, which is used for the reviewing process. Authors, reviewers, and editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and
no paper correspondence is necessary.
There are no submission fees or page charges. Each manuscript should be accompanied by a letter
outlining the basic findings of the paper and their significance. Peer reviewers evaluate the quality of the manuscript and its suitability
for the journal. The structure of the refereeing process ensures the anonymity of the reviewers.
Manuscripts are accepted for review
with the understanding that no substantial portion of the study has been published or is under consideration for publication elsewhere
and that its submission for publication has been approved by all authors and by the institution where the work was carried out. Manuscripts
that do not meet the general criteria or standards for publication in Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis will immediately
be returned to authors, without detailed review. It is further understood that any person cited as a source of personal communications
has approved such citation; written authorization may be required at the discretion of an editor. Articles and any other material published
in Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis represent the opinions of the authors and should not be considered to reflect
the opinions of the editors or the publisher.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more
information on copyright, see http://www.elsevier.com/authorsrights ).This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination
of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer
of copyright will be provided after acceptance.
If material from other copyrighted works is included, the author(s) must obtain written
permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these
cases: contact Elsevier Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333,
e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com. Requests may also be completed online via the Elsevier home page (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/permissions).
Caution: Figures that reproduce copyrighted or trademarked visual images or that show objects whose design is copyrighted or trademarked
can be published only with the permission of the holder of the copyright or trademark. It is the responsibility of the author of
the article in which the figure appears to obtain this permission, and pay the necessary fees, or to determine that the image or design
is in the public domain.
Preparation of Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout. Pages should be numbered
consecutively and organized as follows:
The title page (p.1) should contain the article title, authors' names and complete
affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).
The abstract (p.2) must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in less than 150 words. After
the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
References. Arrange
references in alphabetical order according to the author's last name in the Reference list and cite in the text by Arabic numerals between
brackets: [1], [1,2], [1, Theorem 5.4], etc. Give text references in the form "As Jones [31] showed...," rather than "As [31] showed...".
Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications
should be cited as such in the text. For journal names, follow "Abbreviations of Names of Serials," reviewed in the latest volume of
Mathematical Reviews (Mathematical Reviews Annual Index, American Mathematical Society). For unpublished lectures or symposia, include
the title of the paper, the full name of the sponsoring society, and the date.

Figures. Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals. For further information on the preparation
of electronic artwork, please see http://www.elsevier.com/artwork.
Color Figures. Illustrations in color in the
printed issue can be accepted if the clarity of the presentation is significantly increased and if the authors defray the cost. However,
if together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures, then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these
figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether these illustrations are reproduced
in color in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after
receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://www.elsevier.com/artwork.
Please note: Because of technical complications that can arise in converting color figures to "gray scale" (for the printed version
should you not opt for color in print), please submit in addition usable black-and-white files corresponding to all the color illustrations.
Tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate
page with a short descriptive title typed directly above and with essential footnotes below.
PDF proofs will be sent by e-mail
to the corresponding author. To avoid delay in publication, only necessary changes should be made, and proofs should be returned promptly.
Abstracts and Software via FTP
Authors who wish to have software associated with their article available via FTP may
do so. Please see the software publication policy in the first issue of each volume or on the journal home page.
