Nexus Network Journal: Architecture and Mathematics Online
CFP Ratio and Proportion
The Nexus Network Journal is pleased to announce a Call for Papers
Ratio and Proportion in Architecture
Guest Editor:
Stephen R. Wassell
To commemorate the 450th anniversary of the publication of Silvio Belli’s treatise "On Ratio and Proportion", the Nexus Network Journal is dedicating a special issue to ratio and proportion in architecture. We hope to be able to present, through a collection of diverse research papers, a broad overview of the many facets of this fundamental concept. We welcome papers covering any cultures and any historical periods. We especially encourage a focus on contemporary architects and their works in which proportion has played a key role.
This Call for Papers can be downloaded here: NNJ_Call for Papers_Ratio-Proportion.
Deadline for submissions for review: 15 January 2022.
SpringerNature recognizes the NNJ for Editorial Excellence
SpringerNature, co-publisher with Kim Williams Books of the Nexus Network Journal, has recognized the NNJ for editorial excellence.
The recognition says:
Your journal is in the top 25% of qualifying journals* for editorial excellence.
Journal authors have the chance to tell us about their publishing experience throughout the year with the journal author satisfaction survey. The survey results reflect how highly your authors rate their experience publishing with Nexus Network Journal.
2020 was an exceptionally trying year. We appreciate the work, commitment, and passion that you and your Editorial Board continued to bring to your journal, resulting in these extraordinary accomplishments. Thank you!
*Qualifying criteria: Only journals with an external editorial board that receive ten or more responses from published corresponding authors in 2020 were considered in the analysis. The journal also had to receive an overall satisfaction score of or over the mean average for the year. From this selection of journals the top performing journals were chosen based on their mean score for the two statements “The editorial advice and comments throughout the process helped to improve the paper" and "The editors managed the peer review process well", asked about on a 5 point scale: strongly disagree (1), disagree (2), neutral (3), agree (4), strongly agree (5).
Co-Editors-in-Chief Kim Williams and Michael Ostwald extend our warmest thanks to Editorial Board, the authors and the peer reviewers who have made the NNJ the high-quality journal that it is today.

Sharing your article in the NNJ
We want authors to know how to efficiently and legally share the research that they have published the Nexus Network Journal.
Springer makes it easy for authors to share their work with a content-sharing initiative called "SharedIt". All information can be found here:
https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/sharedit
On this site the author is asked for the DOI of the article and an email address, and Springer will send a link. Alternately, on the webpage of the article, clicking on the tab "About this article" takes you to a page where there is a button "Get Shareable Link". The link that appears can be posted on all self-archiving sites (such as ResearchGate and Academia) and allows other researchers to access and read the article, even if they are not subscribers to the journal.
Springer's full policy on sharing can be found here:

Reproducing images
Although it is very easy to find and download material (including drawings, prints, illustrations, charts, tables, photographs and text) from the Internet, this does not mean that it can automatically be published as part of an article in the Nexus Network Journal. Authors are responsible for obtaining (and, where required, paying for) permissions to reproduce images to be included in their papers. We cannot include material where these rights have not been obtained. We encourage authors use original, unpublished figures, photographs, tables, and other content where possible. One alternative to use of images for which permission cannot be obtained is to provide a link to the content on the Internet.
