Editorial Policy

Length of regular research papers should be less than 4000 words; total number of figures is limited to 6.

Submissions not in compliance with the limits will be automatically “rejected without review”.

If the editors feel the submission has scientific merits but over the page/figure limits, they can suggest that the authors reformat the article (reduce or combine figures, reduce length) and resubmit. In that case, the authors should resubmit to the same editor since the submission may be flagged for “duplicate submission”.

Lessons Learned from 14 years as an Editor-In-Chief (for Elsevier)

As some of you may know, I recently announced that I would be stepping down as the Editor-In-Chief (EIC) for the Elsevier journal titled Finite Elements in Analysis and Design (FINEL).  I had served in that capacity since 2010, so roughly 14 years, and the team at Elsevier indicated that it was time for someone new to take over the role.  Although I would have been more than happy to stay on, in time I did appreciate that it was probably better for the community to pass the reins on to someone else.
