About the journal
Journal of Applied Physics is the American Institute of Physics' (AIP) archival journal for significant new results in applied physics; there are two issues per month. The journal publishes articles that emphasize understanding of the physics underlying modern technology, but distinguished from technology on the one side and pure physics on the other. Applied Physics Reviews is a series of occasional review articles on topics within this scope. The Proceedings of the Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials is an annual feature.
Instructions to Authors

How to Prepare Your Manuscript

For general format and style, consult recent issues of the Journal and the 1990 Fourth Edition of the AIP Style Manual, published by the American Institute of Physics and available free-of-charge for downloading in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF).

Two types of manuscripts are acceptable: full length and Communications. The latter are short contributions not exceeding in length three printed pages including allowances for illustrations, references, and tables. Abstracts are required for manuscripts of both types.

The Manuscript, including the abstract, references, and captions, should be neatly typed in English, double-spaced, on one side only of 21.6 x 28 cm (8-1/2 x 11 in. or A4) white paper with ample margins. It should be carefully proofread by the author. The manuscript must be in good scientific American English; this is the authors' responsibility. Unclear or excessive handwritten insertions are not acceptable. Number all pages in single sequence beginning with the title and abstract page. Authors should submit three clear copies of the manuscript, including original (high-quality) illustrations, and, if necessary for the reviewer's use, a second set of high-quality illustrations.

The Title should be concise but informative enough to facilitate information retrieval. "Part I," or simply "I," will not be included as part of the title of an article unless Part II has already been submitted for publication in the Journal. Part III, IV, etc., are likewise unacceptable unless the prior parts have already been accepted or have appeared in this Journal, and are properly identified in the references.

The Abstract should be self-contained (contain no footnotes). It should be adequate as an index (giving all subjects, major and minor, about which new information is given) and as a summary (giving the conclusions and all results of general interest in the article). It should be about 5% of the length of the article, but less than 500 words for full-length articles and correspondingly shorter for Communications. It must appear on its own sheet(s) separate from the text.

Authors' names should preferably be written in a standard form for all publications to facilitate indexing and avoid ambiguities.

Equations should be neatly typed, punctuated and aligned to bring out their structure, and numbered on the right. Mathematical operation signs indicating continuity of the expression should be placed at the left of the second and succeeding lines. Use ¡Á rather than a centered dot, except for scalar products of vectors. The solidus (/) should be used instead of built-up fractions in running text, and in display wherever clarity would not be jeopardized. Use "exp" for complicated exponents.

Notation must be legible, clear, compact, and consistent with standard usage. All unusual or handwritten symbols whose identity may not be obvious must be identified in the margin the first time they appear, and at all subsequent times when confusion might arise. Superscripts are normally set directly over subscripts; authors should note where readability or the meaning requires a special order. If there is any possibility of confusion, indicate superscripts by a black penciled V underneath the superscript and subscripts by a black penciled ^ over the subscript.

References and footnotes are treated alike. They must be numbered consecutively in order of first appearance in the text and should be given in a separate double-spaced list at the end of the text material. Reference should be made to the full list of authors rather than to first author followed by an abbreviation such as et al. References within tables should be designated by lowercase Roman letter superscripts and given at the end of the table. For the proper form, see the AIP Style Manual and recent issues of this journal. The number of a grant or contract is meaningless to our readers and should be omitted unless its inclusion is required by the agency that supports the research. Preprints of cited unpublished work by the authors should be sent with the manuscript.

Separate Tables (numbered in the order of their appearance by Roman numerals) should be used for all but the simplest tabular material; they should have captions that make the tables intelligible without references to the text. The structure should be clear, with simple column headings giving all units. Unaltered computer output and notation are generally unacceptable.

Electronic Physics Auxiliary Publication Service (EPAPS) is a low-cost electronic depository for material that is supplemental to a journal article. Appropriate items for deposit include multimedia (e.g., movie files, audio files, 3D rendering files), color figures, data tables, and text (e.g., appendices) that are too lengthy or of too limited interest for inclusion in the printed journal. Retrieval instructions are footnoted in the related published paper. Prominent links in the online journal article allow users to navigate directly to the associated EPAPS deposit. EPAPS deposits may also be retrieved by users free of charge via command-line FTP or via the EPAPS homepage. Authors are encouraged to deposit multimedia files with EPAPS, and should consider depositing in EPAPS color versions of illustrations that will appear in black and white in the journal.

All deposits to EPAPS must be approved by the Journal Editor as part of a manuscript's normal review cycle and require a nominal deposit fee. Obtain deposit forms from the Journal Editor. For additional information about depositing or retrieving EPAPS files, see the EPAPS homepage.

Illustrations: Authors must submit high-quality (publication quality) hardcopies of all illustrations to the Editorial Office. Upon acceptance of your manuscript, authors are strongly encouraged to send electronic graphics files to AIP. You will receive electronic submission instructions with your acceptance notification. Please adhere to the following guidelines when preparing your illustrations for submission:

  • Prepare illustrations in the final published size, not oversized or undersized. Size your illustrations according to the journal's specifications. Submit each illustration at the final size in which it will be published. The standard is 8.5 cm maximum width (3-3/8 in.).
  • Ensure a minimum of 8-point type size (2.8 mm high; 1/8 in. high) and 1-point line width within illustrations. Ensure that line weighs will be 0.5 points or greater in the final published size. Line weights below 0.5 points will reproduce poorly. Avoid inconsistencies in lettering within individual figures, and from one figure to the next. Lettering and symbols cannot be handwritten. Avoid small open symbols that tend to fill in if any reduction is necessary.
  • Number figures in the order in which they appear in text. Label illustrations with their number, the name of the first author, and the journal, on the front of the figure well outside the image area.
  • Place only one figure per page (including all parts). Place all parts of the same figure on one sheet of white bond paper, spaced 1/4 in. apart, leaving a 2 in. bottom margin. Label all figure parts with (a), (b), etc. Photocopies of artwork are not acceptable.
  • Do not use correction fluid or tape on hardcopy illustrations. Do not write on the back of the figure.
  • Laser-generated graphics are acceptable only if the lettering and lines are dark enough, and thick enough, to reproduce clearly, especially if reduction is required. Maximum black-white contrast is necessary. Choose a laser printer with the highest dot-per-inch (dpi) available (i.e., the highest resolution possible). Remember that fine lines in laser-generated graphics tend to disappear upon reduction.
  • Use white glossy or matte paper. Avoid paper stock that is off-white, ivory, colored, or textured because contrast within the illustration will be lost in reproduction. Print the photograph with more contrast than is desired in the final printed journal page.
Submission of Electronic Graphics Files to AIP
  • We recommend that all halftone art (screened art), shaded figures, and combinations (line art + halftone) be submitted to AIP Production electronically. (You are still required to send hardcopies of all figures to the Editorial Office, along with a hardcopy of the manuscript.)
  • Acceptable formats: Graphics must be submitted as PostScript, EPS (using either Arial or Times Roman fonts), or TIFF (lzw compressed). Do not send application files, e.g., Corel Draw, etc.
  • Settings: Set the graphic for 600 dpi resolution for line art, 264 dpi for halftones (noncompressed), and 600 dpi for combinations (line art + halftone). For those figures to be printed in black and white, save the files to grayscale (B/W), not color.
  • Make sure there is only ONE figure per file. Each figure file should include all parts of the figure. For example, if Figure 1 contains three parts (a, b, c), then all of the parts should be combined in a single file for Figure 1.
  • Do not FTP the graphics files to AIP unless otherwise instructed to do so.
  • Detailed instructions for submitting electronic graphics to AIP and a glossary of terms may be found here.
