Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
• The submission follows the Journal template, found on our website.
• The submission has not been generated by AI tools and is the original work of the authors listed. AI tools may be used to improve grammar, but not to generate "original" content.
• The initial submission file is in PDF file format. Once your paper is accepted you will be asked for either a MS Word or LaTex file of your paper.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
• You are strongly encouraged to add two/three citations from past papers of the International Journal of Fluid Power. This is to ensure that the submission is relevant to the topics covered by the journal.
• If there is a Section Policy displayed below the section to which the article is submitted, authors must adhere to the Section Policy.
