Author’s Guide Line Springer, therefore, needs all the electronic files, most importantly the source files, of all parts of the manuscript (including front matter pages) as advised in the instructions Springer enters into the source files to smooth out any formatting or capitalization discrepancies and to insert running heads, page numbers and a reference line at the bottom of the first page of every paper

Author’s Guide Line Springer also require a final pdf of each paper created and checked by the authors. Once data processing has been finished, Springer will contact the corresponding authors and ask them to check their papers
