About the journal
X-Ray Spectrometry is devoted to the rapid publication of papers dealing with the theory and application of x-ray spectrometry using electron, x-ray photon, proton, Yand Y-X sources.
Covering advances in techniques, methods and equipment, this established journal provides the ideal platform for the discussion of more sophisticated X-ray analytical methods.
Both wavelength and energy dispersion systems are covered together with a range of data handling methods, from the most simple to very sophisticated software programs. Papers dealing with the application of x-ray spectrometric methods for structural analysis are also featured as well as applications papers covering a wide range of areas such as environmental analysis and monitoring, art and archaelogical studies, mineralogy, geology, surface science and materials analysis, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
Instructions to Authors
Both wavelength and energy dispersion systems will be included, and data handling methods will range from the most simple to very sophisticated software programs up to the stage of providing analytical data, i.e. excluding process control software. It is also the intention to include papers dealing with the application of x-ray spectrometric methods for structural analysis (papers which deal primarily with x-ray diffraction are not appropriate). Papers submitted must clearly be of scientific value in the field and will be submitted to two independent referees. Contributions must not have been published elsewhere and authors must agree not to communicate the same material for publication in any other journal or book unless authorized. Authors are invited to submit their papers for publication to the appropriate Regional Editor or, in all other cases, the Editor-in-Chief. In every case receipt of the paper will be acknowledged by the receiving Editor. The submission of Review articles is encouraged; the Editor-in-Chief will entertain suggestions for topics, but should be consulted prior to the preparation of such manuscripts. Review papers would be subjected to the same referee process as other contributed manuscripts.
Manuscripts Manuscripts should be typed on A4/ 8? x 11" paper; larger paper sizes are unnecessary and undesirable. Minimum white margins should be: 1 inch top and sides, ?inch bottom. Any corrections to the manuscript should be made only with a carbonless red felt pen, not with a ball-point or conventional pen. The name and full address of the author to whom page proofs should be despatched must be typed at the top of the first page. To enable prompt publication, the full postal address must be given for the author who will check proofs, along with telephone and fax numbers and email address. All manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate and a set of copies or prints of the diagrams and full spectra must be attached to each copy of the manuscript. This will enable papers to be sent to two referees simultaneously and so assist rapid publication.
Electronic submission When a paper is in its final form and has been accepted for publication, an electronic copy of the final, revised manuscript must be sent to the editor together with the paper copy. Disks should be PC or Mac formatted' write on the disk the software package used, the name of the author and the name of the journal. We are able to use word processing packages, but prefer Word or WordPerfect. Illustrations must be submitted in electronic format where possible. Save each figure as a separate file, in TIFF or EPS format preferably, and include the source file. Write on the disk the software package used to create them; we favour dedicated illustration packages over tools such as Excel or Powerpoint.
Abstract Every paper for publication must be preceded by an abstract (not more than 250 words) setting out the essential contents. For French and German papers an English translation of the title and abstract should also be provided.
Nomenclature The technique of x-ray spectrometry is used by workers from all branches of science and this, coupled with the dearth of text books in the field, almost certainly explains the wide diversity in terms and abbreviations that are employed by authors describing their work in this area. Following is a short list of the more commonly employed terms and abbreviations which authors may find useful in preparing papers for publication in X-Ray Spectrometry. It must be stressed that the use of these terms is not mandatory in the acceptance of a paper but their listing represents an attempt on the part of the Editorial Board to clarify what is rapidly becoming an almost untenable situation. The Editorial Board would be glad to receive any ideas or recommendations from subscribers regarding the use of terms and abbreviations, and correspondence regarding this matter should be directed to the Editor-in-Chief. For the more usual terms and symbols authors are recommended to follow the Report of the Commission on Symbols, Terminology and Units of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. This report is entitled `Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units' and was published in Pure and Applied Chemistry 21, 3 (1970). Reprints are available from Butterworths of London.
Illustrations Illustrations should be supplied on A4/ 8? x 11" size tracing cloth, tracing paper or white card. Larger sizes may have to be folded, which can damage the illustration and can make handling difficult. Photographs should only be included where absolutely necessary. Illustrations should be supplied separately from the text and must bear the name(s) of the author(s), figure number and caption. Where portions of spectra are reproduced, the original should be supplied if at all possible.
Tables Tables should be kept to the minimum. The same data should not be reproduced in both tabular and diagrammatic form. Essential tables should be provided with legends making them intelligible without reference to the text.
Experimental All experimental details should appear in a section at the end of the paper.
References References should be cited by superior numbers and listed at the end of the paper in the order in which they appear in the text. All references must be complete and accurate. Online citations should include date of access. If necessary, cite unpublished or personal work in the text but do not include it in the reference list. References should be listed in the following style:

Journal title abbreviations should follow the American Chemical Society system, listed in The ACS Style Guide.
Acknowledgements These are placed at the end of the text, preceding the references, and should be brief.
Proofs Page proofs, for the correction of printers' errors only, will be despatched to the author indicated on the first page of the manuscript. Any further alteration at this proof stage may seriously delay publication.
Offprints Twenty-five offprints of each paper will be provided free of charge. Additional copies may be purchased on an offprint order form which will accompany the proofs. Offprints and correspondence will be sent to the first-named author unless otherwise stated.
Copyright Upon acceptance of an article by the journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under applicable Copyright law. A copy of the Copyright Transfer Agreement to be used is reproduced in each volume and additional copies are available from the Editors or the publisher or may be printed from this Web site.
