Submission of a paper implies that it is an original research work which has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.
If revision of the original manuscript is required, authors will have a maximum of four months (from receipt of the referees comments) to revise and re-submit. A revised manuscript received by the Editor later than four months after the authors receipt of the referees comments will be treated as a new submission. Authors are allowed to revise the original manuscript only once. If further revisions are requested the manuscript will be treated as a new submission.
Manuscript Preparation
General: Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper (22 x 28 cm or A4). High quality printouts with a font size of 12 pt are required. All pages should be numbered consecutively. The order of the manuscripts should be title, author(s) and affiliation(s), abstract, keywords, text, references, tables, figure legends (or captions), schemes, and figures. Sequences of tables, charts, and schemes should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Original drawings and photographs should be attached to the end of one copy and should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and author(s) name. The author(s) should indicate by text or marginal notations in the typescript where the figures are approximately to be inserted.
Language and Style: Manuscripts should be written in English in a clear and concise manner and follow the style of a current issue of Polymer. Authors whose native language is not English should have the spelling, grammar, and style checked by someone fully proficient in the English language.
Title: The title should be concise, informative and representative of the contents of the manuscript.
Author(s) and Affiliation(s): Full affiliations and postal addresses must be given for all authors. An asterisk should designate the author to whom correspondence is to be addressed and a footnote must provide their full e-mail address, fax and telephone numbers.
Abstract: An abstract of approximately 100 to 150 words identifying the new and significant results of the study must be provided for all manuscripts, including articles, reviews, and communications. 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 self-contained. References to formulae, equations or references that appear in the main text are not permissible.
Keywords: A maximum of three keywords are required for indexing purpose.
Text: The main text should include introduction, experimental section, results, discussion and conclusion. Figures or tables should not be imbedded in the text. All footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers. Headings and subheadings for different sections of the papers should be used and clearly identified. If each section needs to be numbered, a sequence such as 2., 2.1., 2.1.1., etc should be used. All tables and figures must be mentioned in the text. Trade names should have an initial capital letter.
For full-length manuscripts, a proper introduction is required. The purpose of the introduction is to briefly summarise previous work and recent progress in the field and not to repeat information found in previous publications. The introduction must be kept to a minimum length and only references that pertain to the information in the manuscript should be used. For shorter articles, introductions should be correspondingly brief.
The experimental section should provide sufficient detail of the materials, methods and equipment to allow repetition of the work elsewhere, but should not contain excessive detail of commonly used procedures. Precautions for handling dangerous material or for performing hazardous procedures should be explicitly stated.
References: Author(s) carry the full responsibility for the accuracy of their references. The format of references must be uniform and consistent with those found in a typical issue of Polymer. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to references by a number in square brackets on the line (e.g. Kim and Michler [1]), and full reference should be given in a numerical list at the end of the paper in the following form:
1. Kim GM, Michler GH. Polymer 1998;39(23):5689-5697.
2. Jenkins AD, Loening KL. Nomenclature. In: Allen G, Bevington JC, Booth C, Price C, editors. Comprehensive polymer science, vol. 1. Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1989. pp. 13-54.
3. Van Krevelen DW. Properties of polymers, 3rd ed. Amsterdam: Elsevier Science, 1990 (chapter 6).
Units: All measurements and data should be given in SI units.
Symbols: It is helpful to identify Greek symbols by name in the margin the first time they appear. Abbreviations and acronyms should only be used for unwieldy terms and names that occur frequently in the manuscript.
Maths: Detailed mathematical discussion should be placed in an appendix. Equations and formulae should be typewritten.
Nomenclature: Nomenclature should conform to current scientific usage. Author(s) should use systematic names similar to those used by Chemical Abstracts Service and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. Chemical Abstracts (CA) nomenclature rules can be found in Appendix IV of the Chemical Abstracts Index Guide.
Guidelines for Text Files and Formats
Most word-processing formats are accepted (ideally Microsoft Word or WordPerfect). Please check the current style of the journal, particularly the reference style, and avoid excessive layout styling as most formatting codes will be removed or replaced during the processing your article. In addition, do not use options such as automatic word breaking, justified layout, double columns or automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references). However do use bold face, italic, subscripts, superscripts etc.
When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, please use only one grid for each separate table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is being used, use tabs to align columns not spaces. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lower case letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript (e.g. in graphs).
Do not import the Figures into the text file.
Guidelines for Artwork/Illustrations
Computer-generated illustrations and halftones/line/tones (either colour or black and white) are acceptable. However, since we cannot guarantee the usability of graphic files, original hardcopies of all illustrations must accompany the accepted printout of the manuscript in all cases.
Basic guidelines for submitting artwork/illustrations: (For in-depth information about submitting electronic artwork visit the Author Gateway http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork)
1. TIFF or EPS files are the preferred format. Suggested packages for line graphics are Adobe Illustrator (version 3.0 or above), Freehand, and Corel Draw. Graphics 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).
2. Black and white photos, micrographs etc should not be saved as colour.
3. Colour reproduction is available if the author is prepared to bear the additional reproduction and printing costs. A quotation will be provided on request. At the editors discretion colour may be provided at no cost to the author, if it is deemed essential to the clarity and presentation of the article. Colour illustrations should be scanned at 300 dpi (500 dpi for halftones/line art combinations).
4. For best results, illustrations should be submitted in the actual size at which they should appear in the journal and fit a single column width. Each illustration should have a maximum width of 8.25 cm (3.25 in.) and a maximum depth of 24 cm (9.5 in.). Only if it is absolutely necessary will a two-column width be allowed; this requires a minimum width of 10.5 cm (4.1 in.), a maximum width of 17.8 cm (7.1 in.) and a maximum depth of 22 cm (8.7 in.). The minimum font size for lettering appearing in a figure should be 6 pt; lines should be no thinner than 0.5 point and of uniform density. When original illustrations do need to be reduced to fit a single or double column, use larger lettering and thicker lines so that, when reduced, the artwork meets the above-mentioned parameters.
5. Chemical Structures should be produced with the use of a commercially available drawing package. No hand-drawn chemical structures will be accepted. Structures must fit a one- or, if absolutely necessary, two-column width on the journal page. Structures using the one-column width are highly preferred. The actual size at which they should appear in the journal will provide the best publication quality.
6. Should the image files require compression then the compression software used must be indicated.
Submitting Manuscripts on Disk
Elsevier Science now publishes all manuscripts using electronic production methods, and therefore needs to receive the electronic files of your article with the hardcopy of the accepted version. Electronic files can be submitted on floppy disks, ZIP/JAZ disks, or CD-ROMs.
To ensure fast and easy processing of floppy disk submissions, please use the following guidelines:
1. Name your files using the correct extension, e.g. Fig1.cdr, tbl1-6.xls, text.doc, fig1a.eps, fig1.tif, etc.
2. Save text and graphics on separate disks.
3. 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.
4. Ensure that electronic and hardcopy versions of your manuscript are identical. In cases of a discrepancy, the hardcopy version will be used as the definitive version by the production team.
Proofs and Offprints
Proofs in PDF format will be sent to the corresponding author via e-mail (first named author if no author is identified on multi-authored papers) and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt. It is therefore essential to provide full e-mail addresses of each author. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any others may be charged to the author. Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge. Offprints and copies of the issue can be ordered at a specially reduced rate using the order form sent to the corresponding author.
Copyright
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. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any figure for which copyright exists. Elsevier Science Ltd. will send the copyright form to corresponding author for signature after the manuscript is accepted for publication.
