About the journal
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research relating to the structure, properties and processing of ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. Papers may cover any of the branches of ceramic science and technology and may relate to any of the so-called categories: structural, functional and traditional ceramics. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
In addition to the monthly regular issues, the journal publishes Refereed Reports from important conferences usually related to the European Ceramic Society.
Instructions to Authors
The Journal will publish the results of original research relating to the structure, properties and processing of ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. Papers may cover any of the branches of ceramic science and may relate to any of the so-called categories, structural, functional and traditional ceramics. The central objective will be to sustain a high standard with rigorous reviewing procedures. Submission of papers Submission of a manuscript implies that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Submission of a multi-authored manuscript implies the consent of all the participating authors. All papers should be written in English. Upon acceptance of an article by the journal the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. Contributors should submit their papers to Professor R. J. Brook, University of Oxford, Department of Materials, Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PH, UK. Tel: +44 (0)1865-273781; Fax: +44 (0) 1865-273783. Contributors in the Americas may send their papers to the North American Co-ordinator, Dr R. N. Katz, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 100 Institute Road, Worcester, Massachusetts 01609-2280, USA, and those in Asia to the Japanese Co-ordinator, Professor S. Somiya, Nishi Tokyo University, 3-7-19 Seijo, Setagaya, Tokyo 157, Japan. All authors must sign the 'Transfer of Copyright' agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Science Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, but does not relinquish the author's proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microform or any other reproductions of similar nature and translations, and includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any figures for which copyright exists. Types of contributions Original papers, short reports and state-of-the-art review articles. Short reports can be up to four printed pages in extent and will be published as rapidly as possible. All papers will be independently refereed. Manuscript preparation Three copies should be provided, in double-spaced typing on pages of uniform size, with a wide margin at the left. Generally, the size of the manuscript should be a minimum consistent with clarity. Each paper should be provided with an Abstract of about 100-150 words, reporting concisely on the purpose and results of the paper. Authors should consult an issue of the journal for style and layout if possible. The Editor reserves the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. The title of the paper should unambiguously reflect its contents. Where the title exceeds 70 characters a suggestion for an abbreviated running title should be given. The name(s) and address(es) should follow the title. Where an author has moved permanently or temporarily to a new address, this should be indicated as a footnote on the first page. All joint communications must indicate the author to whom correspondence should be addressed if this is not the first-mentioned author. The SI system should be used for all scientific and laboratory data; if, in certain instances, it is necessary to quote other units, these should be added in parentheses. Temperatures should be given in degrees Celsius. The unit 'billion' (109 in America, 1012 in Europe) is ambiguous and should not be used. Abbreviations for units should follow the suggestions of the British Standards publication BS 1991. The full stop should not be included in abbreviations, e.g. m (not m.), ppm (not p.p.m.),'%' and '/' should be used in preference to 'per cent' and 'per'. Where abbreviations are likely to cause ambiguity or not be readily understood by an international readership, units should be put in full. Tables (numbered consecutively with arabic numerals), references and legends to illustrations should be typed on separate sheets and placed at the end of the paper. Footnotes should be avoided especially if they contain information which could equally well be included in the text. The use of proprietary names should be avoided. Papers essentially of an advertising nature will not be accepted. Authors should choose up to five Keywords from the standard list below(or four standard keywords, and one of their own choosing). Electronic submission Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper with the final version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Full details of electronic submission and formats can be obtained from http://authors.elsevier.com References References should be cited at the appropriate point in the text by a superscript numeral. A list of references, in numerical order, should appear at the end of the paper. All references in this list should be indicated at some point in the text and vice versa. Unpublished data or private communications should not appear in the list. Examples of layout of references are given below. 1. Lee, J. G. & Cutler, I.

Illustrations The original and two copies, which may be of a reduced size, of each illustration should be provided. Line drawings may be submitted in any medium providing that the image is black and very sharp. They should preferably all require the same degree of reduction; large diagrams, more than four times final size, are discouraged due to handling difficulties. The type area of the journal is 177 mm wide x 240 mm deep, in two columns per page, each 85 mm wide, and lettering should therefore be large enough to be legible after reduction of the illustration to fit (ideally 7pt lettering after reduction). Photographs should be submitted as contrasting black-and-white prints on glossy paper. Each illustration must be clearly numbered and the name(s) of the author(s) of the paper written on the reverse side. Proofs The author (or the selected author where several are involved) will receive a set of proofs for checking. No new material may be inserted in the text at the time of proof reading unless accepted by the Editor. Page charges and offprints There will be no page charges. Twenty-five offprints of each paper will be supplied free of charge. Additional copies can be ordered at current printing prices.
