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 We encourage authors use original, unpublished figures, photographs, tables, and other content where possible.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.
Criteria for acceptance
The peer review system, with all its defects and advantages, is the system used to maintain the integrity and high quality that readers and authors of the Nexus Network Journal have come to expect. To help authors evaluate their own papers before they are submitted to the NNJ and sent for review, we have posted a set of characteristics that can contribute to a paper's acceptance, and a second list of characteristics that often lead to rejection.
Nexus: Leonardo's reciprocal structures on YouTube!
The Italian scientific news program "TGR Leonardo" aired a segment about a Nexus workshop dedicated to Leonardo's reciprocal structures.
The "Leonardo: Architecture and Mathematics" took place in Vinci, Leonardo's birthplace, in the heart of Tuscany, in summer 2003 (the hottest summer on record in Italy). Participants included sculptor Rinus Roelofs (Netherlands), artist Mark Reynolds (USA), architects Joao Pedro Xavier (Portugal), Kim Williams (Italy), Vesna Petresin (Slovenia-UK) and her husband Laurent Paul Robert, Christopher Glass (USA), Biagio Di Carlo (Italy) and Sylvie Duvernoy (Italy), with others joining us for the construction project. The workshop was composed of a seminar, held in the Biblioteca Leonardiana in Vinci, during which participants assembled to discuss the use of geometry in the architecture of Leonardo as found in his sketchbooks, followed by the actual construction of four dome structures based upon Leonardo's system, which took place in Ponte a Egola, 14 km from Vinci. The seminar and the construction were filmed in order to produce a documentary.
