About the journal
Nanoscale Research Letters (NRL) provides an interdisciplinary forum for communication of scientific and technological advances in the creation and use of objects at the nanometer scale. The journal spans disciplines, emphasizing research that seeks to uncover the underlying science and behavior of nanostructures and further the goal of unifying nanoscale research in physics, materials science, biology, chemistry, engineering, and their expanding interfaces. Original research papers which appear rapidly following submission are published as Nano Express. Nano Ideas is a new format that focuses on well-founded and conceptually substantiated ideas which need neither elaborate theoretical verification nor experimental realization. NRL also publishes invited personal perspectives as Nano Commentaries, addressing general concerns of the nano community and highlighting new areas of science.
NRL is the first nanotechnology journal from a major publisher to be published wih Open Access. Open Access provides worldwide access to your research free of charge to anyone with an internet connection, ensuring maximum visibility.

Instructions to Authors
THE OPEN ACCESS PROCESSING FEETHE OPEN ACCESS PROCESSING FEE
Since all articles are published with immediate and full Open Access, Nanoscale Research Letters does not receive subscription revenues. Therefore, Open Access implies that the author is responsible for paying or arranging the payment of the article fee from appropriate granting or institutional sources. However, please note that effective May 1, 2009, Open Access article fees will be voluntary for papers submitted to NRL through the end of 2010. If you still wish to apply the funds to the support of open-access publishing in NRL, Springer will greatly appreciate your payment of US$950.00. You will be invoiced accordingly. In either case, your article will be published with full and immediate Open Access without delay.
CITING YOUR ARTICLECITING YOUR ARTICLE
If and when your article has been accepted for publication, you will receive notification of that fact. In the message of notification, or with the proofs, you will also receive the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) that has been assigned to your article. Use the DOI number to cite your article when it first appears in Online First. The traditional metadata, specifically the volume and issue numbers and page range, will become available for citing after the article is included as part of a monthly issue.
ONLINE SUBMISSION VIA EDITORIAL MANAGERONLINE SUBMISSION VIA EDITORIAL MANAGER
Nanoscale Research Letters (NRL) uses an online system of manuscript tracking called Editorial Manager (www.editorialmanager.com/nrlt). Authors must submit their articles to the journal ONLINE. This will allow quicker and more efficient processing of your manuscript.
Editorial Manager supports a wide range of submission file formats, including: Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, LaTeX2E, TeX, Postscript, PICT, Excel and Powerpoint. LATEX submissions are encouraged.
Please go to the link to submit your article online.To help speed the review process, authors are requested to provide a list of at least three potential reviewers.
ARTICLE TYPESARTICLE TYPES
Nano Express are original research papers which publish online approximately eight weeks following submission.
Nano Reviews bring NRL readers up to date on developments of special topics of importance in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Nano Ideas is a completely new format and focuses on the dissemination of ideas which are well-founded and conceptually substantiated, but need neither elaborate theoretical verification nor experimental realization.
Occasionally, NRL invites personal perspectives to be published as Nano Commentaries to address general concerns of the Nano community and to highlight important new areas of science.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATIONMANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Manuscript contents Manuscripts should in general contain in the following order: Title, author’s name, address of author’s institution, fax number and e-mail address, 5-7 keywords, abstract, main text, acknowledgements, list of references, list of figure and table captions, tables and figures.
Title The title of the paper should be concise but informative. A shortened version of the title consisting of a maximum of 120 characters (incl. spaces) for running headers should also be provided.
Authors and addresses The names and addresses of all authors should appear on the manuscript. There should be a number for each address and the author names should be marked with the appropriate numerical superscript(s). Footnotes relating to the authors should employ lower-case letters.
To speed up communication between authors, readers, and publisher, authors are requested to provide fax number, e-mail address, and telephone number. Unless the authors request otherwise the fax number and e-mail address will be published along with the affiliation to facilitate efficient information exchange between readers and authors.
Abstract The abstract should be informative, indicate the general scope of the paper, and contain the main results obtained and conclusions drawn. It should be complete in itself; mathematical expressions should not be included. The abstract must not exceed 200 words and should be suitable for publication without change in abstracting journals.
Main text Manuscripts should be divided into numbered sections and subsections, starting with a numbered introductory text. Subsections should be numbered 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 etc.; appendices with A, B etc. All sections must have a short descriptive title.
Figures illustrate and enrich the text and should conform to the following quality criteria: Line illustrations (only black and white elements) should have a resolution of 800 dpi; for greyscale figures 300 dpi is sufficient (with reference to final size). Please include all fonts used when saving the figures to ensure exact reproduction of special characters. The preferred figure format is .eps. Other formats such as .tif, .jpg or .doc are also acceptable. Figures should be consecutively numbered and have a brief descriptive caption. Each figure must be cited in the text.
Captions should be included in the text and not in the figure file, and figure parts (e.g., Fig. 1a,b) should have the part designation included at an appropriate place in the figure.
Color illustrations will be published online free of charge.
Footnotes in the main text should be avoided if possible. Where absolutely necessary, they should be marked with an asterisk or numerical superscript and placed at the foot of the relevant page (not at the end of the article, and not in the form of references).
References should be cited by numbers in square brackets, for example, [5], [5, 7, 10], [5--8]. They should be numbered and listed in the order in which they are cited. Please do not group two or more publications under one number. Each item in the reference list must have a separate number to enable electronic reference linking. In preparing the reference list please adhere to the following format:
for journal articles:
- 1. S. Preuss, A. Demchuk, M. Stuke, Appl. Phys. A 61, 33 (1995)
for books:
- 2. H. Ibach, H. Lüth, Solid-State Physics (Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1996)
A paper published online but not (yet) in an issue can be cited using the Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
The DOI should be added at the end of the reference in question. Example: J. Ward, P. Robinson, Eur. Radiol., DOI: 10.1007/s00330-004-1450-y (2004)
Authors may also be cited by name in the text, but without initials; here, “et al.�should be used whenever there are more than two authors, e.g., Preuss et a l. [1]. In the reference list itself the names of all authors must be given.
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications should only be mentioned in the text.
Units and abbreviations Metric SI units should be used throughout except where non-SI units are more common [e.g. (l) litre for volume].
Equations, fonts, and special symbols Equations should be typewritten sequentially numbered. The number should appear in parentheses at the right-hand side of the page and this form, e.g. (7), is sufficient to refer to the equation in the text. Special care should be taken to distinguish subscripts, superscripts and certain symbols. Symbols and letters representing physical and mathematical variables should be in italic. Units, abbreviations and special functions (Ã…, rf, dc, exp, tan, etc.) should be upright. Please add a note to explain any other special symbols.
Electronic supplementary material (optional) Electronic supplementary material (ESM) for an article in the journal will be published on SpringerLink provided the material is:
-- submitted to the Editor(s) in electronic form together with the paper and is subject to peer review
-- accepted by the journals Editor(s)
ESM may consist of
-- information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings
-- information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.
-- large original data that relate to the paper, e.g. additional tables, illustrations (color and black & white),
etc.
After acceptance by the journal’s Editor(s) ESM will be published online as received from the author.
Authors who are not fluent in written English are strongly encouraged to enlist the assistance of a colleague who is fluent. Grammatical inaccuracies can often negatively impact the review process.
