-====== Setting expectations ======
+====== Instructions for submission ======
 We are pleased that you decided to submit a paper (based on your talk at CSSP 2021) to the volume EISS 14. Below, you have **seven points** that you should take into account before you start writing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
-  - **Your submission should be based on original work which has not been previously published.** It takes a lot of effort to edit a volume, and so we would naturally like for the volume to be as unique as possible. If you plan to include the essential content of your paper later in a longer journal article or book chapter, this is acceptable.
+  - **Your submission should be based on original work which has not been previously published.** If you plan to include the essential content of your paper later in a longer journal article or book chapter, this is acceptable to us.
-  - **When preparing the first version of your submission, we invite you to already incorporate the comments you received on the abstracts. For the second submission, we invite you to include a cover letter with your revised manuscript detailing how you have revised the manuscript.**
+  - **Every paper will be reviewed by two referees external to the volume.** When preparing the first version of your submission, we encourage you to already incorporate the comments you received on the abstracts. For the second submission, we ask you to include a cover letter with your revised manuscript detailing how you have incorporated the reviewers' suggestions.
-  - **Every paper will be reviewed by two referees external to the volume.** If both external reviews of a paper are negative, the editors may decide to reject the paper for publication. However, we anticipate to rejecting papers only on the basis of content only in an extreme case where the author has been careless or negligent, so the main point is simply that papers are reviewed and aren't accepted in advance.
   - **There are two main deadlines to respect, [[start|the first]] (31 May 2022) for the initial version of your paper, and the second (15 September 2022), for the revised version.** Deadlines are strict; however, in the exceptional case you need a few extra days, please contact the editors about this.
   - **There is a [[style_sheet|style sheet]] for the volume that you should do your best to follow when writing your paper.**
-  - **There is a [[latex_template|LaTeX template]] for the volume that you should use when writing your paper.**((In this connection, see also [[latex_bibtex_advice|LaTeX and BibTeX advice]].)) The use of LaTeX is a near-hard requirement, but exceptions can be made, if necessary. If your paper needs to be an exception, please get in touch with the editors beforehand.

   - **The [[start|page limit]] for your paper will be strictly enforced.** In the interest of fairness and in order to keep the volume manageable, no exceptions to the page limit will be made.
   - **If you're uncertain about your written English, we strongly encourage you to have your paper proofread by a native speaker before submission.**
-Our initial aim is to complete the volume by the end of 2022, but whether this is feasible also depends on the timing and work of the authors and reviewers, so please help us to be able to complete the volume by the end of 2022.
+Our aim is to complete the volume by the end of 2022, and we thank you in advance for complying with the  deadlines and the submission requirements.
