About the journal
Computational Materials Science aims to enhance the communication between experimental materials
research and computational work on both existing and new, advanced materials and their applications. It publishes articles of interest to physicists, chemists and materials researchers and engineers and to other scientists involved with materials phenomena and computational modelling.
The journal covers computational modelling of materials properties and phenomena, ranging from the synthesis, characterisation and processing of materials, structures and devices to the numerical methodology of materials simulations. Computational Materials Science invites contributions on quantum, classical and statistical mechanical studies, such as, but not limited to:
semi-empirical, e.g. tight-binding and embedded-atom methods; first-principle calculations; density-functional theory; atomic and molecular-scale simulations, e.g. MC and MD techniques; other modelling techniques using macroscopic input, e.g. FE-methods, and contributions on properties of materials including electronic, dynamical, transport, mechanical, growth and thermodynamical properties of materials such as metals and alloys, semiconductors, insulators, superconductors, biomaterials, polymers, ceramics and composites in liquid, crystal, amorphous and cluster-like states.
Instructions to Authors
Submission of papers
Manuscripts (one original + two copies), accompanied by a covering letter, should be sent to one of the Editors:
Hugues Dreyss¨¦, IPCMS-GEMME, 23 rue du Loess, BP 20 Cr, F-67037 Strasbourg, France
Siegfried Schmauder, MPA, University of Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 32, 70569 Stuttgart (Vaihingen), Germany.
Original material. By submitting a paper for publication in Computational Materials Science the authors imply that the material has not been published previously nor has been submitted for publication elsewhere and that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication.
Refereeing. Submitted papers will be refereed and, if necessary, authors may be invited to revise their manuscript. If a submitted paper relies heavily on unpublished material, it would be helpful to have a copy of that material for the use of the referee.
Types of contribution
Original research papers, review, letters to the editor and commentaries are welcome. They should contain an Abstract (of up to 200 words) and a Conclusions section which, particularly in the case of theoretical papers, translates the results into terms readily accessible to most readers.
Manuscript preparation
All manuscripts should be written in good English. The paper copies of the text should be prepared with double line spacing and wide margins, on numbered sheets. See notes opposite on electronic versions of manuscripts.
Structure. Please adhere to the following order of presentation: Article title, Author(s), Affiliations(s), Abstract, PACS codes and keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, 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.
PACS codes/keywords. Please supply one or more relevant PACS-1995 classification codes and 6-8 keywords of your own choice for indexing purposes.
References. References to other work should be consecutively numbered in the text using square brackets and listed by number in the Reference list.
Illustrations
Illustrations should also be submitted in triplicate: one master set and two sets of copies. 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, not drawn below it.
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.
After acceptance
Notification. You will be notified by the Editor of the journal of the acceptance of your article and invited to supply an electronic version of the accepted text, if this is not already available.
Copyright transfer. You will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of the information.
Electronic manuscripts
The Publisher welcomes the receipt of an electronic version of your accepted manuscript (encoded in LaTeX). If you have not already supplied the final, revised version of your article (on diskette) to the Journal Editor, you are requested herewith to send a file with the text of the accepted manuscript directly to the Publisher by e-mail or on diskette (allowed formats 3.5" or 5.25" MS-DOS, or 3.5" Macintosh) to the address given below. Please note that no deviations from the version accepted by the Editor of the journal are permissible without the prior and explicit approval by the Editor. Such changes should be clearly indicated on an accompanying printout of the file.
LaTeX articles should preferably use the Elsevier document class 'elsart', or alternatively the standard document class 'article' or the document class 'revtex'.
The Elsevier LaTeX package (including detailed instructions to authors) can be obtained using anonymous FTP from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) from the directory: /texarchive/macros/LaTeX/contrib/supported/elsevier. The participating hosts in the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network are: ftp.dante.de (Germany), ftp.tex.ac.uk (UK). For a WWW interface to CTAN with the possibility to search the archive, visit http://www.ucc.ie/cgi-bin/ctan/.. For a list of hosts maintaining a (partial) mirror of the CTAN archive, see the file '/tex-archive/CTAN.sites' on CTAN. In order to reduce network load, it is recommended that you use the CTAN host which is located in the closest network proximity to your site. Alternatively, you may wish to obtain a copy of the CTAN via CD-ROM (see 'help/CTAN.cdrom' on CTAN for details). Questions concerning the LaTeX author-prepared article project and requests for the booklet with instructions to authors should be directed to the address below.
If sent via electronic mail, files should be accompanied by a clear identification of the article (name of journal, editor's reference number) in the 'subject field' of the electronic mail message. An ASCII table (available from the publisher) should be included in the files, to enable any transmission errors to be detected.
