About the journal
International Materials Reviews publishes peer reviewed critical assessments of the literature on all aspects of materials science and engineering. Its aim is to provide timely, authoritative introductions to current thinking, developments and research in carefully selected topics. Leading edge reviews provide a concise overview of rapidly developing areas of the discipline, while maintaining the journal's high standard of rigour and critical assessment. An extended series of reviews on modelling topics was launched in 2002.
Instructions to Authors
Submissions
The majority of reviews published in IMR are invited. However, proposals for new reviews are welcome. In the first instance, authors should submit a 500 word extended abstract, together with an outline structure of the review, for assessment by the Editorial Board.
Proposals should be sent to:

Notes and instructions for contributors to materials science journals
The notes below are general instructions on the preparation and submission of manuscripts for publication in the Maney/IOM3 journals.In most cases, authors wishing to submit reviews are asked in the first instance to submit a synopsis for consideration by the relevant journal Editorial Board.
Submission
Manuscripts are considered on the understanding that they present original work that has not been submitted elsewhere or previously published in the same or essentially similar form. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any material or illustrations for which they do not hold the copyright.
Typescripts/disks
Two hard copies of the manuscript must be supplied. Authors will also be expected to supply an electronic version of the final text in Word or a compatible word processor format. In preparing the electronic version there is no need to format the article, but please include italic or bold type where necessary. Automatic foot- or endnote routines should not be used: references should be typed at the end of the file as part of the text. Use hard returns only at the end of paragraphs; switch autohyphenation off; and do not justify text. Consistency in spacing, punctuation and spelling is essential. Tables should be keyed horizontally from left to right using a tab between columns, not the space bar (or keyed in Table mode in Word). Figures and tables should be grouped at the end of the paper, not included within the text.
The manuscript must contain:
1) a title page giving full contact details, including email addresses, for all authors ?
2) an abstract of no more than 150 words, giving a concise summary of the aims, content and conclusions of the paper ?
3) text: section and subsection headings should be clearly differentiated, using a structured numbering system if necessary ?references (see below) ?
4) tables and list of figure captions.
Acknowledgements should be grouped before the reference list. Pages should be numbered consecutively with the title page as page 1.
Use of SI units is mandatory. The full form of any abbreviation or acronym should be given in the text when the term is first used. Do not use the same symbol to represent more than one variable: please ensure that Greek symbols are clear and that similar characters, e.g. 'el' and 'one' and 'oh' and 'zero', are distinguished and used consistently. A list of symbols should be provided if helpful to the reader.
Figures should be cited in a single numerical sequence throughout the text as 'Fig. 1', 'Fig. 2', ?Equations and tables should also be numbered in sequence and referred to in the text as, for example, 'equation (1)' and 'Table 1' respectively. Reference and notes should be numbered serially in a single sequence. Citations in the text should be as superior characters, thus,1,2, 4-6 outside any punctuation marks. References cited for the first time in a table or figure caption should be numbered as if they appeared in the text where the table or figure is first mentioned. References should be set out in a list, numbered according to their appearance in the text. All references given must be complete, and should be verified at source.
Journal abbreviations in references follow the ISO system, e.g. S. H. Lalam, H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia and D. J. C. MacKay: Sci. Technol Weld. Joining., 2000, 5, 338-340. If the abbreviation is not known, the journal title should be given in full. Where the pagination is not consecutive through the volume, it is essential to give the month or part number.
Book references should give full bibliographic details, e.g.
H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia: 'Bainite in steels', 2nd edn, 240; 2001, London, IoM Communications. J. V. Wood: in 'Future developments of metals and ceramics', (ed. J. A. Charles et al.), Vol. 1, 235-239; 1992, London, The Institute of Materials. Standard texts should not be cited in their entirety: indicate the appropriate page or section.
Conference references must include the date, location and organizer or publisher of the meeting, e.g.
M. H. Loretto: Proc. 2nd Int. Conf. on 'Research and development in net shape manufacturing', Birmingham, UK, March 1999, University of Birmingham, Paper 23.
Reports, theses, etc. should be presented in the form:
R. D. Niel: 'Interfacial structures in intermetallic/steel joints after high temperature service', Report 1131, AVS plc, Huntingdon, UK, 2000.
Tables and figure captions should appear at the end of the paper, not within the text. Each table should have a title. Each figure should have a caption that is intelligible without reference to the text; discussion of figures should appear in the text of the paper, not the caption. Where appropriate, scales or magnifications must be provided.
Illustrations
Each figure must be supplied on a separate sheet and clearly identified. Authors are strongly encouraged also to submit electronic versions of figures to the specification given below. Illustrations must be suitable for reproduction in black and white: coloured lines, contour maps, etc. may not reproduce adequately and suitable labelling or reformatting should be used to ensure clarity. Colour reproduction of figures may be possible if the author is prepared to contribute to the additional costs.
Two sets of mounted glossy prints should be provided of any photographs (halftones). Montages of halftones should be supplied in a form suitable for scanning without reassembly. Line drawings should be provided as high quality printouts, large enough to allow reduction to 80 mm (single column width) or 168 mm (page width) for printing. Lettering should be such as to reduce to 2 mm in height at final size, i.e. wider figures generally require larger lettering, and keys must be legible when reduced to final size.
Electronic versions of figures
Each figure must be supplied as a separate file and in all cases, a hard copy should also be supplied. Halftones should be supplied as greyscale tiff or jpeg files and must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi at final size: do not save at the default screen resolution (72dpi). Halftones embedded within Word documents will not give acceptable results. Line figures should be submitted as tiff or eps files of at least 1200 dpi resolution at final size. If supplying eps files ensure that all fonts are attached.
