We are pleased to present several articles in this issue that have been submitted by Reliability Edge readers. Providing a forum for this type of exchange of information is one of our goals for this publication. If you are interested in submitting an article for a future issue of Reliability Edge, this brief summary of our submission guidelines may be of interest to you.

*********************

We welcome guest submission articles to Reliability Edge on topics of interest within reliability engineering and related fields. We expect guest submission articles to be relevant, readable and theoretically sound. The decision to publish a specific article is made by our editorial review panel. ReliaSoft does not guarantee that all submissions will be published.

To submit an article for consideration, please prepare the article in Microsoft Word and send it via e-mail to ReliabilityEdge@ReliaSoft.com. We will review the article and notify you of our intention to publish, then cooperate with you on any proofreading or editorial changes that may be required in order to prepare the article for publication. If the article includes illustrations, we may request that you provide the original graphics in electronic format.

Prior to publication, we will always provide you with a file for your review and approval that shows how the finished article will appear in the newsletter. We also require authors to sign and submit a publication release form.
