The Society is pleased to announce, effective November 1, 2003, the availability of online manuscript submission for both ECS journals. This system, called Peer-X-Press (PXP), allows authors to upload manuscripts directly into a peer-review system that takes advantage of the internet and e-mail systems to streamline the review process, reducing the time necessary to obtain reviews by weeks or months in some cases. In addition, PXP allows authors to check the status of their manuscript by simply logging into the system. For more on PXP, please review the author instructions listed above for the appropriate journal.
Manuscripts submitted to the ECS journals, as well as papers presented at ECS meetings, become the property of ECS and may not be published elsewhere in whole or in part without written permission of ECS. Statements and opinions given in articles and papers published in the ECS journals are those of the contributors, and ECS assumes no responsibility for them.
Authors presenting papers at ECS meetings are encouraged to submit their papers to the ECS journals within six months of the meeting, including those papers that will be published in an ECS proceedings volume.
The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is the official journal of the Society. All manuscripts submitted are considered for publication, with the understanding that they have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts published in a Society proceedings volume may be submitted to the Journal within six months of the Society symposium.
1. Types of Papers--The Journal contains two technical sections.
Technical Papers:Technical papers describe fundamental or applied studies in depth. They contain new data and/or new interpretations of existing data. Papers are published in the areas of electrochemical science and technology, and solid-state science and technology. Technical papers may be divided into the following subsections. Authors should recommend the most appropriate subsection.
* Batteries and Energy Conversion
* Corrosion, Passivation, and Anodic Films
* Electrochemical/Chemical Deposition and Etching
* Electrochemical Synthesis and Engineering
* Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry
* Dielectric Science and Materials
* Semiconductor Devices, Materials, and Processing
* Sensors and Displays: Principles, Materials, and Processing
* General Topics
Review Papers: Review papers furnish critical analyses of topical subjects.
2. Submission of Papers--Manuscripts (in English) should be submitted using the online manuscript submission and peer-review system Peer-X-Press (PXP), available at
http://jes.peerx-press.org
A detailed set of author instructions, including an explanation of the full peer review process, is available on the site; requirements for manuscript submission include:
* Address, fax, and e-mail address of corresponding author.
* Original electronic files of all figures used in the paper.
* Text file (preferably in Microsoft Word form) of the paper.
* Statement of acceptance of page charges.
* Birth dates for all authors (please list in the cover letter)
* Recommendation of the most appropriate subsection (see list above).
3. Registering for an Account--Authors entering the system for the first time must first register for an account using the link listed in the lower left corner of the opening screen. New registrants must specify a main e-mail address (which will serve for all communication and as their login ID), and a password of their choosing (which allows for secure access to the author's account). Once this account is created, the author may access the system to track any manuscripts submitted for publication to determine their status, and to access papers for review.
4. Publication Charges--To help meet the publication costs, there is a charge of $70 per printed page. If at least one author is an ECS member, or the member representative of an ECS Contributing Member, a 10% discount is given. In the event that an author is unable to pay page charges due to a serious lack of funds, a waiver of the page charges may be requested. If page charges are waived, the publication of the manuscript may be delayed. No waivers will be allowed for papers published with color figures.
5. Color--Color is available for figures and photographs. Color can be an effective tool in conveying complex graphs and photographs. There is an additional charge for color papers, which is needed to cover the cost of printing. The additional charge for publication is approximately $1000-1500 per manuscript and $155 per figure, with the exact charge calculated at the time of publication.
6. Presentation--Organization and clarity are essential elements of successful publications. Identify the subject matter in the title with words useful for indexing. State the purpose of the work early in the text. Present the work and the arguments in an order that leads naturally to clearly specified conclusions. Provide enough information for the work to be reproduced and the logic to be understood. Identify and justify any assumptions that are made. Define unusual technical terms and all abbreviations or acronyms at their first use. Once an acronym has been defined, use it in place of the full-length term. Where symbols are used extensively, list them with their definitions at the end of the paper. Edit and proofread the manuscript carefully before submission.
7. Manuscript Preparation--All manuscripts must be:
* typewritten, double-spaced throughout, and must contain:
* concise title--no more than 20 words
* Abstract--limited to 200 words, on a separate page
* References--in the proper format, on a separate page
* Tables and figures--each on a separate page
* Figure captions on a separate page
For figures that are taken from other sources, it is the author's responsibility to obtain permission from the original author and publisher to reproduce the material. Please supply the editorial office with a copy of the written permission. The following specific items should be noted.
* SI units should be used whenever possible. The ACS Style Guide (2nd edition) can be used as a general reference on matters of grammar, units, and formatting.
* Mathematical equations should be written on a single line, if possible, using parentheses, brackets, negative exponents, and the like.
* References must be listed at the end of the paper in the order they are cited in the text, using each author's first initials and last name. Do not use et al. in the references section. CAS abbreviations must be used. Citations of other than the generally available literature should be avoided if possible. For example:

* Drawings and graphs will ordinarily be reduced to column width (3 1/4 in. or 8.2 cm) and after such reduction should have lettering, of letter-grade quality, at least 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) high. When several curves are shown, each should be lettered and identified in the caption. When a figure contains a number of parts, for example several micrographs or graphs, use a lower-case letter ("a", "b", etc.) in the body of each part, and use the letter in the figure caption to identify each part.
8. Discussion Section--Comments or discussion on any paper published in the Journal may be submitted to the editorial office. Relevant comments will be published in a later issue.
