The JHT format page, see MS word attachment (below); all new articles will have to be formatted to this uniform style. Most of this will be done by the submitting author, with guidance and help from Libb Thims and other seasoned JHT authors.

The JHT beta is the main anchor page for coordinating the, article submission, testing, improvement, possible rejection, and "open review" stage of the newly submitted articles to the Journal of Human Thermodynamics(ISSN: 1559-386X). The JHT beta is synthesis of ArXiv.org pre-print archive + wiki-based article improvement + open peer review.

Process
If a submitted JHT article is accepted it will first be interred and formatted into its own beta stage wiki page, listed under the JHT beta (submissions) header page. Here it will be openly cleaned and formatted by the authors (as well as by JHT founder Libb Thims), during the course of which review requests will be made to respective peers germane to the subject matter of the article; reviews will be either sent to Thims and posted in a section below the beta-stage article or reviewers can openly review the article in the threads below the article; during the course of which debate and discussion may ensue in each respective thread. Following feedback and discussion absorption, further article improvement will be made in regards to that feedback. If the author wishes to retract at any time he or she may do so, simply by internal message or via thread explanation, after which the article will be archived (under the JHT beta (retractions) section) and retitled as "retracted". The article may also be filtered out, and archived under the JHT beta (filtered out) section, if for any number of reasons the submitted article fails to find JHT compatibility.

History
The JHT beta program is an open review pre-print wiki style of peer-review, initiated in a testing stage, in 2011, themed similar to that initiated by American physicist Paul Ginsparg who in 1991 started ArXiv.org at Cornell University as a preprint pre-review site for storage and facilitation of peer-review of physics papers. [1] Ginsparg started the site or method of review to replace the older multinational email distribution list for preprints operated manually by Joanne Cohn.

The JHT beta site was launched in 2011 in the testing stage by American chemical engineer Libb Thimsto replace the older manual email review exchange isolated review with open group review and open group editing on a wiki platform, herein. The central reason the JHT beta was launched is that in 2010, Thims, the JHT founding editor, began to become frozen up on the multitudes of submitted articles, which all began to sit dead in his email inbox. With open wiki-style review and article improvement stage, hopefully, the publication process will be facilitated by the hands of many and the openness of wiki editing, commenting, and communication.

In this manner, review can take place opening in the threads below each article, and the original article, as well as each edit changes to each article, made by various contributors as well as the original author, will be preserved in the history section link below each article and can thus be reverted to prior states if changes are not agree upon.

Authors
A requirement for all authors who submit articles in a given year to the JHT will be for each author to give review, commentary, feedback, suggestions, criticism, point out difficulties on theory, and even add in editing notes, sections, or references to the article, of fellow authors, most of should be done opening in the threads below each beta article or in inter-wiki personal messaging if need be. Each submitting article will need to sign in with an account at the EoHT beta wiki, so as to facilitate tracking of comments and edits opening in the threads and article history.

Authors should are also suggested to request for peer-review form established professors, authors, and researches germane to his or her article topic focus, a request that would amount to as little as a short comment in the threads on the pros and cons of the theory of the new article.

Formatting
All new articles must be formatted to JHT standards. The standard formatting template is pictured adjacent as well as found in the MS word template, attached to this page (bottom of article). Most of this formatting should be done before entering into the beta stage, i.e. before pasting the first draft into an actual beta wiki article.

Equations
For help adding equations, see the symbols page.

Final publication
Once the JHT beta article is approved it will then be published as a finalized PDF in the online JHT and will then make its way in to Google Scholar after which point, if the article if found to be of value, may begin to be cited by others, as some previously published JHT articles have.
