AUS Affiliation Standard

AUS authors should follow a standard method for stating their affiliation when submitting journal or conference papers. Author affiliation must be correct so publications can be correctly attributed to authors and AUS in journals and in citation indexes.
The following guidelines should help:
  • Names and titles should be spelled out in full, i.e. American University of Sharjah.  Not AUS or American Univ Sharjah.
  • Use your ORCiD when submitting a journal article.  Make sure ORCiD profile is correct and up to date.
An example of a correct affiliation:
  • Author, Initial., Department, College/School, American University of Sharjah, Sharjah, PO Box 26666, United Arab Emirates
  • Example: Faculty, M., Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, American University of Sharjah, Sharjah, PO Box 26666, United Arab Emirates
