About the journal
Diamond and Related Materials is an international, interdisciplinary journal which publishes articles covering both basic and applied research on diamond materials and related materials. These include cubic boron nitride and materials with characteristics and properties approaching or possibly exceeding those of diamond. The primary emphasis is on vapour-deposited materials; equally important are high-temperature/high-pressure synthetic materials, as well as relevant natural diamond research and characterization. Papers published cover all fundamental and technological aspects of synthesis, characterization, properties, devices and generic applications of these materials.
The Diamond Films Conference Series has evolved into the largest and most well attended European forum in the field of diamond, diamond-like materials, nitrides and silicon carbide. Run annually in association with Diamond & Related Materials the conference provides researchers and practitioners with an opportunity to exchange the latest results in their particular field and to review progress and problems in neighbouring fields.

3. Scope
Diamond and Related Materials is an international, interdisciplinary journal which publishes articles covering both basic and applied research on diamond materials and related materials. These include cubic boron nitride and materials with characteristics and properties approaching or possibly exceeding those of diamond. The primary emphasis is on vapour-deposited materials; equally important are high-temperature/high-pressure synthetic materials, as well as relevant natural diamond research and characterisation. Papers published cover all fundamental and technological aspects of synthesis, characterisation, properties, devices and generic applications of these materials.
4. Submission of contributions
Authors are encouraged to submit their articles using the online submission system at http://www.elsubmit.com/esubmit/diamat. On-line submission removes the need to submit hard copy. However, we recognise that some authors are unable to use on-line submission, and for this reason hard copy will still be accepted.
Authors should submit their manuscript (original and two copies), illustrations (original and two copies), electronic copies of the manuscript and illustrations (on separate discs) and a copy of the prime novelty statement (see below), to the Editor-in-Chief at the Editorial Office address, or to one of the Associate Editors.
The prime novelty of submitted papers and projected interest to the scientific community is very important to the journal and will be considered during the review process. To this end, authors are requested to provide with their manuscripts a short (1-2 line) statement of the new information contained therein.
Contributions are accepted on the understanding that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication. Submission of a manuscript implies that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. All communications must indicate the name, e-mail, fax, telephone and full postal address of the author to whom proofs should be sent. This author is responsible for informing all co-authors that the manuscript has been submitted to this journal.
In order to achieve rapid publication, it is essential to precisely follow these instructions. Failure to do so can result in a delay in publication.
5. Preparation of Manuscripts
5.1 Language
Papers will be published in English. Authors' manuscripts must be consistent in style, spelling and syntax.
5.2 Estimation of length
For a rough estimate of the final length of their printed article, authors should count 850 words per full two-column page and four illustrations per page.
5.3 Title
Papers should be headed by a concise and informative title. This should be followed by the name(s) of the author(s) and by the name and complete address of the laboratory in which the work was performed. If the address of the author at the time when the paper will appear will be other than that where the work was carried out, this may be stated in a footnote, but footnotes should otherwise be avoided. Recognition for financial support should not be made by a footnote to the title or name of the author but should be included in Acknowledgements at the end of the paper.
5.4 Abstract
An abstract of 50-200 words should be included at the beginning of a paper. The abstract should comprise a brief and factual account of the contents and conclusions of the paper as well as an indication of any new information presented and its relevance. Abstracts should be understandable in isolation, and reference to formulae, equations or references that appear in the main text is thus not permissible.
5.5 Keywords
A maximum of four keywords should be indicated below the abstract to describe the content of the manuscript. Keywords should be selected from the recommended list published regularly in the Journal. The list may also be obtained from an Editor or the publisher, and can be found at the end of these instructions, Keyword Listing.
5.6 Introduction
A full-length paper should have a short Introduction. This should state the reasons for the work, with brief reference to previous work on the subject.
5.7 References
The references should be brought together at the end of the article, and numbered in the order of their appearance in the text. Footnotes should not include bibliographic material, and reference lists should not include material that could more appropriately appear as a footnote. Authors should check whether every reference in the text appears in the list of references and vice versa. Numerals for references are given in square brackets. In the reference list, journals [1], books [2], and edited multi-author books [3] should be cited in accordance with the following examples:
[1] R.K. Singh, D.-G. Lee, J. Electron. Mater. 25 (1996) 137.
[2] D. Palik, Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids II, Academic Press, New York, 1991.
[3] G. Turrel, P. Dhamelincourt, in: J.J. Laserna (Ed.), Modern Techniques in Raman Spectroscopy, Wiley, Chichester, 1996, p.109.
Each reference should be complete; thus the use of ibid., idem., et al., etc. is not permitted. Abbreviations for the titles of journals should follow the system used by the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index and Supplements.
References to books should include the following information: title, publisher, town of publication, year of publication and page number. This information should also be given for published proceedings or abstracts of conferences, together with the location and date of the meeting, e.g.
[4] M. Frenklach, in: Proc. 2nd Int. Symp. on Diamond Materials, 1991, Electrochemical Society, Pennington, 1991, p. 142.
Articles not yet published should be given as "in press", "submitted for publication" or "in preparation". Details of personal communications or unpublished results should be given as a reference, e.g.
[5] A. Jones, personal communication, 1986.
5.8 Tables
Tables should be typed in double spacing on separate sheets and provided with a suitable heading. Tables should be clearly referred to in the text using Arabic numerals. Considerable thought should be given to layout so that the significance of the results can be easily grasped. Each table should have a title which makes the general meaning understandable without reference to the text.
5.9 Illustrations
- Figures will generally be reduced in size before printing and any lettering should be sufficiently large (minimum height, 3-5 mm) to remain legible. All illustrations should preferably require the same degree of reduction.
- Legends to illustrations should be typed in sequence on a separate page or pages and be understandable without reference to the text.
5.10 Colour Illustrations
Illustrations can be printed in colour when they are judged by the Editor to be essential to the presentation. The publisher and author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. The charge to be passed onto authors of articles containing colour figures is EUR 635 (USD 728) for the first page containing colour and EUR 318 (USD 364) for each additional page containing colour.
6. Preparation of Manuscripts and Illustrations on disc
6.1. Main Text
Articles prepared using any of the more popular word-processing packages are acceptable. Please note the following points.
- Submissions can be made on 3.5" floppy disc, ZIP, or CD-ROM.
- Label all disks with your name, journal to be published in, and filenames. Please also include details of the word-processing software, compression software, and platform (PC, Mac, UNIX etc) used in the creation of your files.
- The article should be saved in the native format of the word processor used, e.g. WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, etc. We cannot guarantee the usability of all formats, therefore the disk should always be accompanied by a hard-copy version of the final refereed, revised manuscript and the content of the two should be identical.
- Avoid excessive layout styling as most formatting codes will be removed or replaced during the processing of your article.
- Do not import the illustrations into the text file, save the graphics files on separate discs.
6.2. Graphics
For specific enquiries on the preparation of electronic artwork, including preferred formats, consult http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork
- Submissions can be made on 3.5" floppy disc, ZIP, or CD-ROM.
- Label all disks with your name, journal to be published in, and filenames. Please also include details of the software, compression software, and platform (PC, Mac, UNIX etc) used in the creation of your files. ?
- TIFF or EPS files are the preferred format. The usability of other formats is to a large extent dependent on the information you supply us with concerning the software and platform used.
- Drawings made with Adobe Illustrator, Aldus Freehand and CorelDraw generally give good results. Drawings made in WordPerfect or Word generally have too low a resolution. The minimum acceptable resolution for line art images is 1000 dpi. For halftones and halftone/line art combinations, the minimum resolutions are 300dpi (500dpi if lettering is present).
Since we cannot a priori guarantee the usability of your graphic file(s), hard copies of all illustrations should accompany the accepted printout of the manuscript in all cases. One set should be suitable for direct reproduction.
7. Proofs
Proofs in PDF format will be sent to the corresponding author via e-mail and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors.
8. Copyright
All authors must sign the "Transfer of Copyright" agreement before the article can be published. This will be sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript is accepted for publication. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any figure for which copyright exists.
9. Offprints
Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge. Further offprints can be ordered at a specially reduced rate using the order form sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted. Orders for reprints will incur a 50% surcharge.
10. Further information
For enquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission), the status of accepted articles through our online Tracking Feature, author Frequently Asked Questions and any other enquiries relating to Elsevier Science, please consult http://authors.elsevier.com. For specific enquiries on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult the journal homepage via the Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com.
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.

Guide to Online Submission
Welcome to the Elsevier online submission service. This service has been designed to be as easy as possible to use. Authors can upload their article as a LaTeX, Microsoft® (MS) Word® or WordPerfect®. It is also possible to submit an article in PostScript or Adobe® Acrobat® PDF format, but if the article is accepted it will be necessary to send in the original source files.
The system generates an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article which is used for the reviewing process. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is necessary. Note: articles are converted into PDF for the review process but may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards.
Journal specific guidelines on types of article accepted and how to prepare your article can be found in the Author Gateway journal page, in the Guide for Authors.
Word Processor Formats
Please submit your article as a file in one of the following formats:
- MS Word 6
- MS Word 97
- MS Word 98 for Macintosh®
- MS Word 2000
- WordPerfect 6.1 or higher
- RTF
Important notes on word processor file preparation
- For review purposes you must submit your article as a SINGLE FILE. You need to embed all your figures and tables within this file.
- Fonts: Please choose Times, Times New Roman, Courier, Arial or Helvetica fonts as much as possible. Other fonts (e.g. Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) character fonts) may cause the PDF conversion to fail. If your manuscript does not correctly convert to PDF, replace the font(s) where necessary and try again.
- Most formatting codes will be removed or replaced on processing your article so there is no need for you to apply excessive layout styling. In addition, avoid options such as automatic word breaking, justified layout, double columns, automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references). However, do use bold face, italic, subscripts, superscripts, etc.
- For the production of your article you will also have to submit your graphic files separately as high resolution graphics. (See also the section on Electronic Artwork below.)
LaTex
For general instructions on how to prepare an article using LaTeX, see the Latex file guidelines. In addition, please note the following:
- Include all your graphics in the LaTeX file, e.g. with the \includegraphics from the graphics package.
- Submit any special class (or style) files and other macro files with your article. We are using an up-to-date TeX installation (TeXLive5d), so you need not include any of the standard packages.
PDF
If possible, please submit the original LaTeX or word processor files: this website will take care of converting them into a PDF file.
If you wish to create your own PDF, download the ES_review.joboptions to the "Settings" folder of your Acrobat Distiller and choose the "ES_review" joboptions before converting your file.
Note: This joboptions file is for Adobe Distiller v4.05 and later. If you are still working with an older version, or if you need more help, see. PDF settings .
PDF Settings
Here is how you can find the folder where Adobe Distiller keeps its option files.
i. Open Adobe Distiller
ii. Choose Settings | Job Options...
iii. Click on Save as...
iv. The Save in: box shows you the name and the location of the folder where you should save ES_review.joboptions.
v. Click Cancel twice to leave the Job Options screen.
Distiller version 4
The following screen shots will help you set up your Adobe Distiller for the creation of a usable PDF file. If you are using an older version of Distiller, choose settings as closely as possible to the ones shown in the screenshots.
File naming
To avoid confusion, please make sure your file has a short, descriptive name. Short means less than 30 characters and descriptive means names like figure1.tif and smith-article-version1.doc.
For the production of your paper in the journal we need high-resolution graphic files in either TIFF or EPS. For information on how to prepare your artwork for electronic submission, see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
