Instructions to Authors
Editorial Policies
The Review Process
APL Materials is published by the AIP Publishing LLC. The Editor, aided by the Associate Editors, is responsible for the content and other editorial matters related to the Journal. Submitted manuscripts are initially screened for their suitability and those that appear appropriate for consideration in APL Materials are sent to expert reviewers for evaluation. It is our intention to reach a decision on the disposition of a paper on the basis of no more than two rounds of reviewing. Only for exceptional situations will an additional review be undertaken. Such extended reviews are time-consuming, and should not be used as a mechanism to change an otherwise unacceptable manuscript into an acceptable publication
Criteria for Publication
Papers are accepted for publication in APL Materials according to the following criteria:
- Very high quality science with strong evidence for the conclusions.
- Original and novel (we do not consider meeting report abstracts and preprints on community servers to compromise novelty).
- Timely and of extreme importance to scientists in the specific field.
- Interesting to researchers in other, related disciplines.
Serial Submissions: Publication of ongoing work in a series of papers should be avoided. We believe that, while there is a need for rapid communication of important results, the literature becomes fractured and less accessible when serial publication of specialized advances becomes the norm. Serial submissions designed solely to meet the length requirement are not suitable for publication in APL Materials. Instead, the authors should report their results in a full-length paper for submission to a regular journal. The scientific community will be better served by a comprehensive paper than by several separate Letters.
Length: APL Materials has a firm policy of returning manuscripts that exceed the length limit of 3500 words to the author for shortening before consideration. If a manuscript requires more than this it is not a Letter and should be submitted to a regular journal. Guidelines for estimating length are included in the Author Instructions.
Format: Author Instructions are published on the Journal's website. Rapid changes in publication technology require that authors follow the instructions for preparation of figures with particular care (for detailed information, see http://publishing.aip.org/authors/journal-guidelines).
Ethics and Responsibilities of Authors
APL Materials is published as part of the charter of its publisher, American Institute of Physics, to advance and diffuse knowledge of materials science to human welfare. To that end, it is essential that all who participate in producing the journal conduct themselves as authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers in accord with the highest level of professional ethics and standards.
A detailed statement of what this journal expects can be found here.
By submitting a manuscript to APL Materials, each author implicitly confirms that it meets the highest ethical standards.
Creative Commons License (CC-BY): APL Materials is funded via an author-pays model. Authors publishing manuscripts in APL Materials retain copyright and grant the publisher a license to publish under a Creative Commons agreement.
Patents: Submission of manuscripts that contain patentable ideas is at the author's risk, and neither APL Materials nor American Institute of Physics assumes any responsibility in this regard.
Article Types
(all types are subject to the journal’s length limit)
- Letters (up to 3500 words) Short articles reporting novel and important research
- Research Updates (up to 5500 words) Succinct and helpful to new researchers in a field, these are mainly by invitation and should review progress in, emerging topics. Researchers can also enquire with the editors about the possibility of submitting a review.
- Perspectives (around 1000 words) Typically highlight a recent discovery, these are forward-looking articles. They should be accessible to a general audience and are mainly by invitation.
- Featured Articles (up to 3500 words) Short articles containing review information as well as new research. These are by invitation only.
- Commentaries (1000-5500 words) Discussions of nonscientific issues relating to materials science such as status reports and policies. Commentaries should be well-reasoned, critical descriptions that do not merely publicize a specific agenda.
- Comments and Responses (up to 1000 words) The main purpose of a Comment is to point out and correct significant errors or deficiencies in APL Materials articles or to take issue with the conclusions reached. Another purpose is to inject additional insight or corroboration even when the article is not believed to contain an error. We would like Comments to be concise, substantive, and free of polemics. They are meant to address scientific issues only. We wish to avoid controversy on all questions of priority; the scientific community at large derives insufficient benefits from such comments. In addition, calling attention to an oversight in a reference list will generally not be considered publishable. A Comment should take up no more than one journal page, roughly 1000 words. The title should read: Comment on "original title" [APL Mater. volume, page (year)]. Equations, tables, figures, and figure captions must all be considered when estimating page length. A Response to a Comment will normally be solicited from the authors of the Letter in question. Just as the Comment, the Response must also conform to the above requirements, and can only contain 1000 words or less. The title of the response should read: Response to 'Comment on "original title"' [APL Mater. volume, page (year)]. Both Comment and Response will be reviewed by an anonymous referee. If the Comment is rejected, neither will be published. If the Response alone is rejected, the Comment will be published without the Response. No further exchange beyond this point can be considered for publication. If both are accepted, the Comment and the Response will appear in the same issue. As these processes can be time consuming, we cannot guarantee as rapid a publication schedule as we maintain for regular submissions. Since a Comment is published only if it is informative to the readership and if the same result cannot be achieved either by an Erratum or by a separate article in another journal, authors of a Comment are encouraged to first contact the authors of the Letter in question for a direct response before submitting their Comment to APL Materials. However, the Editor does not require such a step.
- Special Topic Sections Special topic sections will be published occasionally and on no fixed schedule. They will contain a grouping of articles on a topic of current or emerging interest. These are intended to be reports of new research results that significantly advance our understanding of the field, and they will be reviewed using the usual criteria for Letters in the journal. A special topic section may be assembled by the regular Editors or by a guest Editor. In all cases, the final decision regarding acceptance of a manuscript will be with the regular Editors. All special topic articles and Special Articles will be reviewed using criteria appropriate to the Article.
Appeal
An author may appeal an editor's decision to reject a manuscript by making a request to the editor that the paper be reconsidered. If the editor is not persuaded that (further) review is warranted, he/she will consult one of the Associate Editors for a second opinion. If the decision to reject is upheld, any subsequent appeal will be reviewed by the Publisher at AIP Publishing. The Publisher will not make direct decisions whether or not a paper should be accepted for publication, but rather will assess whether procedures were followed properly. Additional rounds of review or adjudication would only be called for if proper procedures were not followed.
Retraction and Correction Policies
AIP takes its responsibility to maintain the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record of our content for all end users very seriously. AIP places great importance on the authority of articles after they have been published and our policy is based on best practice in the academic publishing community. Changes to articles after they have been published online may only be made under the circumstances outlined in AIP's Retraction and Correction Policies which can be accessed here.
