About the journal
 Fire and Materials is an international journal for scientific and technological communications directed at the fire properties of materials and the products into which they are made. This covers all aspects of the polymer field and the end uses where polymers find application; the important developments in the fields of natural products - wood and cellulosics; non-polymeric materials - metals and ceramics; as well as the chemistry and industrial applications of fire retardant chemicals.

Contributions will be particularly welcomed on heat release; properties of combustion products - smoke opacity, toxicity and corrosivity; modelling and testing.

Author Guidelines


MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION Fire and Materials operates an online submission and peer review system that allows authors to submit articles online and track their progress via a web interface. Please read the remainder of these instructions to authors and then visit http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/fam and navigate to the Fire and Materials online submission site. IMPORTANT: Please check whether you already have an account in the system before trying to create a new one. If you have reviewed or authored for the journal in the past year it is likely that you will have had an account created.

All papers must be submitted via the online system.

File types. Preferred formats for the text and tables of your manuscript are .doc, .rtf, .ppt, .xls. LaTeX files may be submitted provided that an .eps or .pdf file is provided in addition to the source files. Figures may be provided in .tiff or .eps format.

Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word’s “Save As” option to save your document as a .doc file type. If you try to upload a Word 2007 document in the online submission and review system you will be prompted to save .docx files as .doc files.

NEW MANUSCRIPT

Non-LaTeX users: Upload your manuscript files. At this stage, further source files do not need to be uploaded.
LaTeX users: For reviewing purposes you should upload a single .pdf that you have generated from your source files. You must use the File Designation "Main Document" from the dropdown box.

REVISED MANUSCRIPT

Non-LaTeX users: Editable source files must be uploaded at this stage. Tables must be on separate pages after the reference list, and not be incorporated into the main text. Figures should be uploaded as separate figure files.

LaTeX users: When submitting your revision you must still upload a single .pdf that you have generated from your revised source files. You must use the File Designation "Main Document" from the dropdown box. In addition you must upload your TeX source files. For all your source files you must use the File Designation "Supplemental Material not for review". Previous versions of uploaded documents must be deleted. If your manuscript is accepted for publication we will use the files you upload to typeset your article within a totally digital workflow.

COPYRIGHT AND PERMISSIONS

Authors must sign, scan and upload to the online system:

  • To enable the publisher to disseminate the author’s work to the fullest extent, the author must sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement transferring copyright in the article from the author to the publisher. Without this we are unable to accept the submission. A copy of the agreement to be used (which may be photocopied) can be found on the Wiley InterScience website and through links in the online submission system. Copies may also be obtained from the journal editors or publisher. 28:
  • Permission grants - if the manuscript contains extracts, including illustrations, from other copyright works (including material from on-line or intranet sources) it is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from the owners of the publishing rights to reproduce such extracts using the Wiley Permission Request Form .

The Copyright Transfer Agreement Form and the Permissions Request Form should be uploaded as “Supplementary files not for review” with the online submission of your article.


If you do not have access to a scanner, further instructions will be given to you after acceptance of the manuscript.

Submission of a manuscript will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere at the same time.


MANUSCRIPT STYLE.

The language of the journal is English. 12-point type in one of the standard fonts: Times, Helvetica, or Courier is preferred. It is not necessary to double-line space your manuscript. Tables must be on separate pages after the reference list, and not be incorporated into the main text. Figures should be uploaded as separate figure files.

  • During the submission process you must enter the full title, short title of up to 70 characters and names and affiliations of all authors. Give the full address, including email, telephone and fax, of the author who is to check the proofs.
  • Include the name(s) of any sponsor(s) of the research contained in the paper, along with grant number(s) .
  • Enter an abstract of up to 250 words for all articles. An abstract is a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions, and is understandable without reference to the rest of the paper. It should contain no citation to other published work.
  • Include up to eight keywords that describe your paper for indexing purposes.
  • Experimental. This should be presented as a clear and detailed description of experimental procedures and analytical conditions to enable readers to carry out similar work. All experimental details should appear in a separate section. If a method has been published previously in a readily available publication reference to the technique only is required. Any departure from previously published methods should be fully documented.
  • Nomenclature, units and abbreviations. Where abbreviations are used, the full name must be given when the abbreviation is first used in the text. Abbreviations should not be used in the abstract. For terms and abbreviations authors are recommended to follow the recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) with e.g. Pure Appl. Chem. 21, 3 (1970). The use of S.I. Units is strongly recommended, and S.I. equivalents should be given for all non-S.I. Units.
  • Acknowledgements. These must be brief and placed at the end of the paper.
  • Short Notes and Correspondence. A separate section of the journal will be devoted to short notes. These should not exceed about one printed page in length (approximately three manuscript pages). In other respects the notes should follow the normal manuscript style of presentation, except that no abstract is required. Such notes will be processed rapidly and although a proof will be supplied the Editor may decide to publish without awaiting return of the proof. Correspondence designed to provoke discussion and airing of contentious issues is welcomed. Correspondence on this and other matters is invited for publication as swiftly as possible. Where letters comment on the work of others, the Editor will offer the right of reply and give the opportunity to publish comments at the same time.
  • Guidelines for Chemical Structures . Chemical structures should be prepared in either 84 mm (one column) or 176 mm (two column) widths. However, the one-column format should be used whenever possible as this allows greater flexibility in the layout of the manuscript. Chemical structures should be supplied at the same size as the intended printed version (so no enlargement or reduction is required). For drawings prepared with ChemDraw please use the following settings:
    Drawing settings Text settings
    chain angle 120° font Helvetica
    bond spacing 18% of length size 8 pt
    fixed length 14.4 pt
    bond width 2 pt
    line width 0.6 pt Preferences
    margin width 1.6 pt units points
    hash spacing 2.5 pt tolerances 3 pixels

    Authors using different structural drawing programs should choose settings consistent with those above. Compound numbers should be bold, but not atom labels or captions.

Reference style. References should be cited in the text by number within square brackets 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. If necessary, cite unpublished or personal work in the text but do not include it in the reference list. Where possible the DOI* for the reference should be included at the end of the reference. Online citations should include date of access. References should be listed in the following style:
  1. Jin WG, Cheung YK, Zienkiewicz OC. Trefftz method for Kirchhoff plate bending problems. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering 1991; 36 : 765-781.
  2. Reismann H. Elastic Plates: Theory and Application . Wiley: New York, 1988;1-10. Oestreicher, N., The cost of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with early-stage breast carcinoma, Cancer 2005:104(10) , pp. 2054 - 2062, DOI: 10.1002/cncr.21464.
*The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is an identification system for intellectual property in the digital environment. Developed by the International DOI Foundation on behalf of the publishing industry, its goals are to provide a framework for managing intellectual content, link customers with publishers, facilitate electronic commerce, and enable automated copyright management.

Illustrations. Upload each figure as a separate file in either .tiff or .eps format, with the lead author's name, the figure number and the top of the figure indicated. Compound figures e.g. 1a, b, c should be uploaded as one figure. Tints are not acceptable. Lettering must be of a reasonable size that would still be clearly legible upon reduction, and consistent within each figure and set of figures. Where a key to symbols is required, please include this in the artwork itself, not in the figure legend. All illustrations must be supplied at the correct resolution:

  • Black and white and colour photos - 300 dpi
  • Graphs, drawings, etc - 800 dpi preferred; 600 dpi minimum
  • Combinations of photos and drawings (black and white and colour) - 500 dpi

Colour policy: The cost of printing colour illustrations in the journal will be charged to the author If colour illustrations are supplied electronically in either TIFF or EPS format they may be used in the PDF of the article at no cost to the author, even if this illustration was printed in black and white in the journal. The PDF will appear on the Wiley Interscience site.

POST ACCEPTANCE

Further information. For accepted manuscripts the publisher will supply proofs to the corresponding author prior to publication. This stage is to be used only to correct errors that may have been introduced during the production process. Prompt return of the corrected proofs, preferably within two days of receipt, will minimise the risk of the paper being held over to a later issue. Once your article is published online no further amendments can be made. Free access to the final PDF offprint of your article will be available via Author Services only. Please therefore sign up for Author Services if you would like to access your article PDF offprint and enjoy the many other benefits the service offers. Additional copies of the journal may be ordered. There is no page charge to authors.
