 What spelling standards should I follow?
Since American English is acceptable internationally, the UbiCC will continue to use American English grammar and spelling in its standards. This should pose no difficulty to groups developing international standards. In cases where British spelling is used in an internationally recognized term (e.g., “Fibre Distributed Data Interface”), that spelling may be retained.
 What reference style should I use?
References should be indicated in the text by consecutive numbers in square brackets, as [1], [2] etc.
All references should appear together at the end of the paper. The full references are cited in a numbered list of the following style:
In cases of journals
[1] J. M. Davis: Simplified Diaphragm Analysis, Journal of Structural Div., ASCE, Vol. 103, pp. 2098-2109 (1977).
In cases of books
[2] F. R. Shanley: Basic Structures, John Willey & Sons Inc., pp. 291-314 (1947)
Authors are allowed to use such abbreviations of academic societies as ACI, ASCE, ASTM, CEB, ISO, RILEM, WCEE, JCI, JSCE, AIJ
 How long will it take for my paper to get published in the journal?
 We try to review paper within two months of submission.
 Where can I find Manuscript Preparation Guidelines?
UBICC Journal provides a style file for MSWord. Please prepare your manuscript according to this style. Do not use other templates. Most formatting codes are removed and replaced when we prepare your manuscript for printing, so please input your material as simply as possible and avoid excessive use of special formatting. For editing and print preparation we will use your MSWord document.

 Where can I find Copyrights Transfer Form?
With each manuscript you must submit an UBICC Journal Copyright form which transfers the copyright to the unpublished article to UBICC Journal and which warrants that the article is original with the author and does not infringe the copyright of any other parties. Before publication, the Editorial and Publication Office must receive a signed hard copy of the Copyright form.

 How does the 'author search' work?
A query is interpreted as a set of prefixes of name parts. If you enter a few words, you get the names which include these words as prefixes of some name parts:  UbiCC Xplore Search
  • The query and the names stored in UbiCC are broken in parts. The delimiters of this 'tokenizing' are spaces and punctuation marks. The punctuation marks are not relevant for the matching. "Ar-b-c." produces the same result as "Ar b c".
  • The matching is NOT case-sensitive.
  • The order of the query words does not matter, i.e. the queries "Petra M A" and "M Petra A" are equivalent.
  • If you end a query word with a $-sign, only exact matches of this word are shown. Try the queries "xi li" vs. "xi$li" vs. "xi li$" vs. "xi$li$" ("xi$ li" and "xi$li" are equivalent).
 How can I correct errors?
  • After review, if modifications are required in paper, the article will be assigned  to 'Modify Paper' panel.
  • If option is not active, E-Mail camera ready paper to 'submit@ubicc.org'. Don't forget to mention your paper ID and Paper Title.
  • PDF File size must not be more than 5 MB.
