1. Articles.
This journal publishes two types of articles: original research reports comprising a complete, detailed, self-contained description of a research effort and Critical Review papers that provide an updating of an area of science or technology pertinent to the scope of this journal. All articles must contain an abstract (see item 5).
2. Brief Reports and Comments.
These are short submissions that either report a brief item of research or technology that does not require extensive descriptive writing or that comment on an item previously published in the journal. Brief Reports and Comments do not require the format structure of regular journal articles and do not require an abstract.
3. Rapid Communications.
These are short submissions which contain important new results and are intended for accelerated publication. Rapid Communications are given priority in handling and do not require an abstract.
4. Shop Notes.
These are "how to do it" papers. They should be written and illustrated so that the reader may easily follow whatever instruction or advice is being given. An abstract is not required for a Shop Note.
5. Abstracts.
An abstract must accompany each article. The abstract should be typed (double-spaced) on a separate page. It should be adequate as an index and as a summary. It should give all subjects, major and minor, concerning which new information is presented. It should give the conclusions of the article and all numerical results of general interest. An abstract is usually reprinted verbatim in abstract journals. Therefore, great care should be used in writing it.
6. Manuscripts.
Manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that they have not been copyrighted, published, or accepted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts must be in English, typewritten, double-spaced on one side of the page, on 11 in. durable, opaque, white paper. An original and two (2) copies must be submitted. Wide margins should be provided to permit editorial instructions to the printer. Authors should adopt a particular way of writing their names in the "by-line" and use the same name for all publications. This practice makes indexes more useful and less confusing. Upon acceptance, a copy of the text portion of the manuscript on computer disk is requested. See item 15 below.
7. Style.
Authors are expected to follow the conventional writing, notation, and illustration style prescribed in the American Institute of Physics Style Manual which is available from the AIP. For ordering information, visit http://www.aip.org/pubservs/style.html. Authors should also study the form and style of printed material in this journal. The SI units should be used.
8. Illustrations.
Illustrations published in the journal are either scanned by AIP using a digital scanner or received electronically from the author, and integrated with the text of the article, creating completely electronic pages. To receive optimal quality, we strongly encourage you to send electronic graphics files to AIP, rather than laser output. (Note: If you are submitting electronic graphics files, you are still required to send hardcopies of the figures to the Editorial Office. Adherence to electronic submission instructions is crucial. If your electronic files are received after AIP has already processed the hardcopy illustrations, the electronic files will not be used). Please adhere to the following guidelines when preparing your illustrations for submission:
Sizing Illustrations (Electronic Graphics Files and Hardcopy )
Prepare illustrations in the final published size, not oversized or undersized.
Size your illustrations according to your journal's specifications. Submit each illustration at the final size in which it will appear in the journal. The standard is 8.5-cm maximum width (3-3/89 or 20.5 picas) for one column. This is especially important for screened or shaded illustrations; reduction of screened/shaded originals during the digitizing process introduces an unacceptable moir¨¦ pattern.
Ensure a minimum of 8-point type size ( 2.8 mm high; 1/8( high )
and 1-point line width within illustrations.
Ensure that line weights will be 0.5 points or greater in the final published size. Line weights below 0.5 points will reproduce poorly. Avoid inconsistencies in lettering within individual figures, and from one figure to the next. Lettering and symbols cannot be handwritten. Avoid small open symbols that tend to fill in if any reduction is necessary.
Preparation of Hardcopy Illustrations for Scanning
Number figures in the order in which they appear in text.
Label illustrations with their number, the name of the first author, and the journal, on the front of the figure well outside the image area.
Place only one figure per page (including all parts ).
Place all parts of the same figure on one sheet of white bond paper, spaced 1/4 in. apart, using a glue stick or wax on the back of the illustration and leaving a 2-in. bottom margin. Label all figure parts with (a), (b), etc. Make sure each figure is straight on the page. Photocopies of artwork are not acceptable.
Do not use correction fluid or tape on illustrations.
The scanner is extremely sensitive and reproduces all flaws e.g., correction fluid, tape, smudges, dust!. Do not write on the back of the figure because it will be picked up by the scanner.
Authors' laser-generated graphics are acceptable only if the lettering and lines are dark enough, and thick enough, to reproduce clearly,
especially if reduction is required. Maximum black-white contrast is necessary. Choose a laser printer with the highest dot-per-inch (dpi) available (i.e., the highest resolution possible). Remember that fine lines in laser-generated graphics tend to disappear upon reduction, even if the oversized original looks acceptable.
Submit continuous-tone photographs in final published size on white glossy or matte paper.
Avoid glossy paper stock that is off-white, ivory, or colored because contrast within the illustration will be lost in reproduction. Print the photograph with more contrast than is desired in the final printed journal page. Avoid dull, textured paper stock, which will cause illustrations to lose contrast and detail when reproduced.
Preparation of Electronic Graphics Files
We recommend that all halftone art (screened art), shaded figures, and combinations (line art + halftone) be submitted electronically. Computer-generated illustrations output to desktop printers produce a screen. These figures are most problematic in the scanning process, because scanning screened output produces an unacceptable moir¨¦ pattern.
Acceptable formats:
Graphics must be submitted as PostScript, EPS (using either Arial or Times Roman fonts), or TIFF (lzw compressed). Do not send application files, e.g., Corel Draw, etc.
Settings:
Set the graphic for 600 dpi resolution for line art, 264 dpi for halftones (non compressed), and 600 dpi for combinations (line art + halftone). Save the files to grayscale (B/W), not color.
Make sure there is only ONE figure per file. Each figure file should include all parts of the figure. For example, if Figure 1 contains three parts (a, b, c), then all of the parts should be combined in a single file for Figure 1.
You are still required to send hardcopies of all figures to the Editorial Office, along with a hardcopy of the manuscript.
Do not FTP the graphics files to the Editorial Office or AIP unless otherwise instructed to do so. Full instructions will be sent to you twice: Once on a hardcopy form after initial submission of your article, and once via e-mail after your article has been accepted for publication.
Detailed instructions for submitting electronic graphics to AIP and a glossary of terms may be found on the AIP Physics Information Netsite at www.aip.org/epub/submitgraph.html
9. Mathematics.
Mathematical expressions should be typewritten as completely as possible, with unavailable symbols being carefully inserted in ink. Special care should be given to make equations and formulas clear to the typesetter, and all handwritten letters and symbols that cannot be typed should be identified in the margin and only the first time that such occur. Clearly distinguish capital and lowercase letters where there could be confusion. Use fractional exponents to avoid root signs. Extra symbols should be introduced to avoid complicated exponents or where it is necessary to repeat a complicated expression a number of times. Use the solidus (/) wherever possible for fractions. Do not repeat mathematical derivations that are easily found elsewhere in the literature; merely cite the references.
10. References.
References should be collected and typed (double-spaced) on a separate page. They should be numbered consecutively and arranged thus:
--- A. B. Smith, Phys. Rev. 41, 852 (1932).
--- H. Lamb, Hydrodynamics, 6th ed. (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, England, 1940), pp. 573, 645.
A list of the abbreviations for the names of journals appears in the Style Manual.
11. Tables.
All but the simplest tabular material should be organized into separate tables. Tables should be numbered with Roman numerals and typed on sheets at the end of the running text. Each table must have a caption typed at the top of the table, which makes the data in the table intelligible without reference to the text. Avoid complicated column headings. If necessary, use symbols which are explained in the caption. Type a double horizontal line below the caption, a single line below the headings, and another double line at the end of the table. Long tables should, if possible, be submitted in a form ready for direct photo reproduction. Photo reproducible tables (including captions) are typed single-spaced on an electric typewriter with Elite type or an equivalent proportional-spaced typeface, and have been designed to fit in one journal column (85 mm or 3in.) or across two columns (180 mm, or 7 in.). Since they will be photo reduced by a factor of 0.75 anticipate photo reduction by making the typing-area dimensions of the tables 4/3 larger than the final column and page dimensions given above. Detailed instructions for preparing camera-ready tables are available from the Editorial Office.
12. Publication Charges
comprise the major source of income for this journal. Consequently, author's institutions or companies are asked and urged to pay a publication charge of $95 per printed page which entitles them to 100 reprints without covers.

13. Correspondence and Alterations.
Send manuscripts to the JVST Editorial Office, Caller Box 13994, 100 Park Drive, Suite 105, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, ph: 919 361-2787, fax: 919 361-1378, e-mail: JVST@jvst.org
Manuscripts to be published in special issues (papers from conferences) should be sent to the Guest Editor appointed for the particular Conference. Please do not send the Editor any correspondence about proofs, reprints, or publication charges. If your paper is accepted for publication, you will be notified by the Editor. Any alterations can be made at this time. You will also be notified when your paper is sent to the American Institute of Physics. All subsequent correspondence about your paper should be addressed to the Editorial Supervisor, JVST A JVST B, American Institute of Physics, Suite 1NO1, 2 Huntington Quadrangle, Melville, NY 11747-4502. Reference must be made to the author, journal, and scheduled date of issue.
14. Proofs of Articles
will be sent to you and should be returned promptly to the Editorial Supervisor, JVST A or JVST B, AIP. A few alterations in proof are unavoidable, but the cost of making extensive alterations or of correcting mistakes caused by careless preparation of the manuscript will be charged to the author. Unless corrected proofs are returned punctually, your paper will be published in uncorrected form and will be so labeled.
15. Compu scripts
AIP is accepting computer files for use in production. If you have used REVTeX/LaTeX or Word/WordPerfect to compose your manuscript, AIP may be able to use your files to produce author proofs. If you are interested in participating in the program, please indicate so in the cover letter that accompanies your original manuscript submission to the editorial office. Please include your electronic mail address is available. Do not send a disk with your original submission. Wait for further instructions from the editorial office on when to send the disk (or, if the office accepts electronic submissions, when to e-mail the file). Do not send the file directly to AIP Production unless otherwise requested. AIP uses translation software to convert REVTeX, LaTeX, Word, or WordPerfect files into a format necessary to produce galley proofs on the Xyvision system. For this project to be of benefit for both the author and the production staff, it is imperative that the guidelines as documented in either the REVTeX toolbox or the MS Word/WordPerfect toolbox be followed precisely. The REVTeX toolbox is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.aip.org in the directory /pub/revtex. The MS Word/WordPerfect toolkits are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.aip.org under the directory /ems. Move to the /ems directory, then follow the instructions given on the screen. If electronic retrieval is not possible, you may receive the toolbox or toolkit on disk by contacting toolkits@aip.org. The REVTeX toolbox and the Word/WP toolkit, as well as general information regarding the compuscript program, are accessible via the AIP Physics Information Netsite (www.aip.org/epub/compuscripts.info.html). The Word/WP author toolkit FAQ ("Frequently Asked Questions") may be found at www.aip.org/pubservs/toolkit.html."
