Manuscript Format

Your manuscript should be in Microsoft Word format. You are advised to download the document,  EnPress Manuscript Submission Template，as a template for more details on preparing your submissions to Thermal Science and Engineering for consideration. All manuscripts must be written in clear, comprehensible English. Both British and American English are accepted. Usage of non-English words should be kept to a minimum and all must be italicized with the exception of “e.g.”, “i.e.” and “etc.” If you have concerns about the level of English in your submission, please ensure that it is proofread before submission by a native English speaker or a scientific editing service.
