Guidelines for Article Preparation for the Transactions on Rough Sets

This document focuses on how to prepare a research article for submission to the Transactions on Rough Sets (TRS), which is a journal subline of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) published by Springer. The TRS journal is an outgrowth of the pioneering work on rough sets by Zdzis law Pawlak and many others during the past 25 years. This journal is the primary publication of the International Rough Set Society (IRSS). These Guidelines present the requirements, in general, for the style and structure for TRS articles. In particular, this document illustrates each of the parts (e.g., abstract, keywords, introduction, organization of sections, notation, algorithms, theory, formulas, figures, tables, conclusion, acknowledgements and references) of a typical TRS article. In addition, there are also instructions for those authors of TRS articles whose native language is not English. LTEX and the Springer llncs document class are to be used to prepare an article for submission to the TRS. Details about how to obtain and use LTEX are also given in these Guidelines. The principal contribution of these Guidelines is an integrated approach to the preparation of research papers for the TRS.
