About the journal
PROGRESS IN ORGANIC COATINGS
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal's requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as: |
|
Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
Performance, testing and analysis.

Instructions to Authors
Types of contributions

Contributions are accepted on the understanding that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication. Submission of an article must be accompanied by a statement that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. 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.
Authors are reminded that delays in publication may occur if the instructions for submission and disk and manuscript preparation are not strictly followed. To facilitate communication, authors are requested to provide their current e-mail adddress, phone and fax number.
There are no page charges
Preparation of manuscripts on disk Main Text Articles prepared using any of the more popular word-processing packages are acceptable but please note the following points.
- Submissions should be made on a double-density or high-density 3.5" disk.
- The disk format, word-processor format, file name(s) and the title and authors of the article must be indicated on the disk.
- The disk must always be accompanied by a hard-copy version of the article, and the content of the two must be identical.
- The disk text must be the same as that of the final refereed, revised manuscript.
- Disks formatted for either IBM PC compatibles or Apple Macintosh are preferred. If you can provide either of these, our preference is for the former.
- The article must be saved in the native format of the word processor used, e.g. WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, etc.
- Although most popular word processor file formats are acceptable, we cannot guarantee the usability of all formats. If the disk you send us proves to be unusable, we will publish your article from the hard copy.
- Please do not send ASCII files as relevant data may be lost.
- There is no need to spend time formatting your article so that the printout is visually attractive (e.g. by making headings bold or creating a page layout with figures), as most formatting instructions will be removed upon processing.
- Leave a blank line between each paragraph and between each entry in the list of bibliographic references.
Graphics General Although there are still a large number of technical difficulties to overcome, we are processing graphic files in a growing number of cases. Both scanned and computer-generated illustrations, either in colour or black and white are acceptable. Requirements The following requirements are to be met: Hard copy in all cases. 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 setshould be in a publishable condition. Disks: Files should preferably be submitted on disk, either IBM or Macintosh. Submission via e-mail is not recommended for large files. Format: TIFF or EPS files are preferred. TIFF files should preferably be compressed, but only LZW (Macintosh) compression is acceptable. Please note that corrections in EPS figures are only possible if they have been prepared with Adobe Illustrator 3.0 or higher versions. The usability of other formats is to a large extent dependent on the information you supply us with concerning the soft- and hardware used. It is a good idea to put the relevant information in the header of the file. Resolution: Drawings made with Adobe Illustrator and Aldus Freehand (Macintosh) and CorelDraw (IBM/DOS) generally give good results. Drawings made in WordPerfect or Word generally have too low a resolution; only if made at a much higher resolution (1016 dpi) can they be used. Files of scanned line drawings are acceptable if done at a minimum of 1016 dpi. For scanned halftone figures a resolution of 300 dpi is sufficient. Scanned figures compressed with JPEG usually give no problems. Please note that scanned figures cannot be enlarged, only reduced.
Manuscript preparation Language Papers will be published in English. Authors' manuscripts must be consistent in style, spelling and syntax. Authors in Japan please note that information about how to have the English of your paper checked, corrected and improved (before submission) is available from:
Elsevier Science Japan Higashi Azabu 1-chome Building 4F 1-9-5 higashi Azabu, Minato-ku Tokyo 106 Tel: (03) 3833-3821 Fax: (03) 3836-3064
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.
Keywords A maximum of six keywords should be indicated below the abstract to describe the contents of the manuscript. Keywords should be selected, if appropriate, from the following classes: theoretical methods, experimental methods, phenomena, materials, and applications. A recommended list of current keywords used in the Journal are published regularly. This list may also be obtained from the Editor or publisher.
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 on to authors of articles containing colour figures is Dfl 1300 (approx. US$ 800) for the first page containing colour and Dfl 650 (approx. US$ 400) for each additional page containing colour. Authors will be billed in Dutch Guilder; the dollar price is for guidance only and is based on the exchange rate at the time of the preparation of these instructions.
Further information All questions arising after acceptance of a paper, especially those concerning proofs, should be directed to:
Elsevier Science S.A.. Editorial Office. P.O Box 564 1001 Lausanne Switzerland Tel: +41 (21) 320 73 81 Fax: +41 (21) 323 54 44 E-mail: essa-o@elsevier.ch
Proofs Authors will receive proofs, which they are requested to correct and return as soon as possible. No new material may be inserted in the text at the time of proof-reading. A Note added in proof must be dated and the author must have requested and received the Editor's approval.
Offprints Twenty-five offprints are supplied to authors free of charge. Additional offprints may be ordered at prices shown on the offprint order form which will accompany the proofs. This order form should be returned promptly since the price of offprints ordered after publication is substantially higher.
