Article submissions are welcome. Finished articles or abstracts can be sent to office@callabmag.com.  We regret that we cannot print all articles submitted. Article acceptance is based on relevance to the field of metrology and calibration in any discipline area and is subject to space available. Neither Cal Lab Magazine nor Cal Lab Solutions, Inc. claim copyrights to articles published within Cal Lab Magazine, in-print or online. Authors retain sole ownership over their own work.

Some basic guidelines/suggestions:

• For those who have yet to write a full article, we suggest submitting an abstract first.
• Average article length is 6 pages in Microsoft Word.
• Figures/photos should be 150+ dpi in CMYK color.
• Figures/photos need to be submitted as a separate JPG or PNG file.
• Do not use anchors or page breaks.
• Cite references!

We typically use IEEE style for citations, but will defer to the author for style. We highly recommend using the Citations & Bibliography feature under the References tab in Microsoft Word! Below are some helpful links:

• Add citations in a Word document
• IEEE Citation Tutorial – YouTube
• “Writing with SI (Metric) Units”

Show off your calibration lab to the world!  Studies show that young women are more likely to pursue STEM careers when they see representations of themselves in those roles, so we encourage labs to submit photos with their women technicians represented.

Minimum Specifications:

• Vertical aspect with headroom
