About the journal
The increasing requirement for high technology materials with specific performance characteristics in various types of environments has dictated that these materials possess near-surface properties different from their bulk properties. Surface and Coatings Technology is a principal forum for the interchange of information on the science, technology and applications of thin and thick coatings and modified surfaces which alter the properties of materials. The scope includes all types of coatings and surface modification techniques (including physical vapour deposition, chemical vapour deposition, electroplating and surface modification by directed energy techniques). Of particular emphasis are the emerging advanced processes such as thermal spraying, sputter deposition, activated reactive evaporation, ion plating, molecular beam epitaxy, ion implantation and pulsed laser surface deposition. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with applied research or direct applications of coatings to reviews of current technology in specific areas. Articles are solicited on topics which include one or more of the following areas: (1) characterization of coatings and modified surfaces, which includes the determination of composition, structure, adhesion, and internal stresses; (2) the application of coatings and modified surfaces to alter the mechanical, chemical or optical properties of materials. Mechanical properties include friction, wear, erosion, hardness and load bearing capacity. Chemical properties include corrosion and oxidation. Optical and electro-optical properties include reflectivity, selective absorption and electroluminescence. Particular emphasis is also placed on the emerging surface engineering technologies and coatings with a diversity of applications such as diamond, diamond-like carbon, and cubic borin nitride. Other interdisciplinary areas include thermal barrier coatings and coatings for biomedical applications, materials conservation, and environmental applications. Technical Notes are also solicited for the Current Industrial Practices section which is intended for more engineering-oriented articles which should include, for example, developments of coatings deposition equipment (including production systems) and cost/benefit analysis for specific types of coatings.

For articles from the rest of the World Professor A. Matthews, The Research Centre in Surface Engineering, The University of Hull, Cottingham Road, North Humberside, HU6 7RX, UK. Tel.: +44 (1482) 465 073, Fax: +44 (1482) 466 477, e-mail: A.Matthews@surfcoat.com
Original material: Submission of a manuscript implies it is not being simultaneously considered for publication elsewhere and that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication.
Manuscript preparation
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) please contact our Tokyo office who will provide you with a list of language polishing services, Elsevier Japan KK, Editorial Service, 4F Higashi Azabu 1-chome Bldg., 9-15, Higashi Azabu 1-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0044, Japan. Tel. +81 3 5561 5032; Fax +81 3 5561 5045; E-mail: jp.info@elsevier.com
Structure. Please adhere to the following order of presentation: Article title, Author(s), Affiliation(s), Abstract, PACS codes and keywords, Main text, Acknowledgments, Appendices, References, Figure captions, Tables.
Corresponding author. The name complete postal address, telephone and fax numbers and the E-mail address of the corresponding author should be given on the first page of the manuscript.
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 will be published regularly in the Journal. Click to go to the keyword list
References. References to other work should be consecutively numbered in the text using square brackets and listed by number in the reference list. Please refer to a recent issue of the journal or to the more detailed instructions for examples.
Vectors. Vectors should be indicated by a wavy underlining in the manuscript, and will be printed in bold-face italics. If necessary, unusual symbols should be explained in pencil in the margin.
Illustrations
Illustrations should also be submitted in triplicate: one master set and two sets of copies. Micrographs must always be submitted in triplicate for refereeing purposes. The line drawings in the master set should be original laser printer or plotter output or drawn in black india ink, with careful lettering, large enough (3-5 mm) to remain legible after reduction for printing. The photographs should be originals, with somewhat more contrast than is required in the printed version. They should be unmounted unless part of a composite figure. Any scale markers should be inserted on the photograph itself, not drawn below it. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork
Colour plates. Figures may be published in colour, if this is judged essential by the editor. The publisher and the author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. Further information is available from the publisher. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork.
Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting colour figures to grey scale (for the printed version should you not opt for colour in print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the colour illustrations.
After acceptance
Important. When page proofs are made and sent out to authors, this is in order to check that no undetected errors have arisen in the typesetting (or file conversion) process. No changes in, or additions to, the edited manuscript will be accepted.
Copyright transfer. In the course of the production process you will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Author benefits
No page charges. Publishing in Surface and Coatings Technology is free.
Free offprints. The corresponding author will receive 25 offprints free of charge. An offprint order form will be supplied by the publisher for ordering additional paid offprints.
Discount. Contributors to Elsevier Science journals are entitled to a 30% discount on all Elsevier Science books.
Authors enquiries
Authors can keep track on the progress of their accepted article, and set up e-mail alerts informing them of changes to their manuscript's status, by using the "Track a Paper" feature of Elsevier's Author Gateway.
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.
