About the journal
|
 |
This journal is an international medium for the rapid publication of original research papers, short communications and subject reviews dealing with research on and applications of electronic polymers and electronic molecular materials including novel carbon architectures. These functional materials have the properties of metals, semiconductors or magnets and are distinguishable from elemental and alloy/binary metals, semiconductors and magnets.
Materials considered to be within the purview of this journal include:
•low-dimensional conductors and superconductors such as organic charge-transfer compounds and metal chain compounds
•conducting and semiconducting polymers and molecular materials
•fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and related novel carbon architectures
•supramolecular conjugated architectures
•nanoscale electronic molecular and electronic polymer materials
•molecule- and polymer-based magnets.
Experimental, theoretical and application papers on the chemistry, physics and engineering of these materials are encouraged for submission. Original manuscripts on their chemical, electrochemical, electrical, photonic and magnetic properties will be considered for publication. Papers on electronic, electroluminescent, lasing, solar cell, anticorrosion, sensor, actuator, biological and other potential device applications of these materials are encouraged.

Author Enquiries
For enquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission), the status of accepted articles via our Author Gateway ,electronic artwork, Frequently Asked Questions and any other enquiries relating to Elsevier Science, please consult the Author Gateway http://authors.elsevier.com.
Authors can keep a track on the progress of their accepted article, and set up e-mail alerts informing them of changes to their manuscript's status, by using the "Track a Paper" feature of Elsevier's Author Gateway.
For specific enquires on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.USA

Contributions are accepted on the understanding that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication. Submission of an article must be accompanied by a statement that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance of an article by the Journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.Authors are reminded that delays in publication may occur if the instructions for submission and disk and manuscript preparation are not strictly followed. Authors are strongly recommended to submit disks to aid rapid processing. To facilitate communication, authors are requested to provide their current e-mail address, telephone and fax number.
There are no page charges
Preparation of manuscripts on disk
Main Text
Articles prepared using any of the more popular word-processing packages are acceptable but please note the following points.
Submissions should be made on a double-density or high-density 3.5" disk.
The disk format, word-processor format, file name(s) and the title and authors of the article must be indicated on the disk.
The disk must always be accompanied by a hard-copy version of the article, and the content of the two must be identical.
The disk text must be the same as that of the final refereed, revised manuscript.
Disks formatted for either IBM PC compatibles or Apple Macintosh are preferred. If you can provide either of these, our preference is for the former.
The article must be saved in the native format of the word processor used, e.g. WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, etc.
Although most popular word processor file formats are acceptable, we cannot guarantee the usability of all formats. If the disk you send us proves to be unusable, we will publish your article from the hard copy.
Please do not send ASCII files as relevant data may be lost.
There is no need to spend time formatting your article so that the printout is visually attractive (e.g. by making headings bold or creating a page layout with figures), as most formatting instructions will be removed upon processing.
Leave a blank line between each paragraph and between each entry in the list of bibliographic references.
Tables should preferably be placed in the same electronic file as the text. Authors should consult a recent issue of the Journal for table layout.
Graphics
General
Although there are still a large number of technical difficulties to overcome, we are processing graphic files in a growing number of cases. Both scanned and computer-generated illustrations, either in colour or black and white are acceptable.
Requirements
The following requirements are to be met:
Hard copy in all cases. Since we cannot a priori guarantee the usability of your graphic file(s), hard copies of all illustrations should accompany the accepted printout of the manuscript in all cases. One set should be in a publishable condition.
Disks: Files should preferably be submitted on disk, either IBM or Macintosh. Submission via e-mail is not recommended for large files.
Format: TIFF or EPS files are preferred. TIFF files should preferably be compressed, but only LZW (Macintosh) compression is acceptable. Please note that corrections in EPS figures are only possible if they have been prepared with Adobe Illustrator 3.0 or higher versions. The usability of other formats is to a large extent dependent on the information you supply us with concerning the soft- and hardware used. It is a good idea to put the relevant information in the header of the file.
Resolution: Drawings made with Adobe Illustrator and Aldus Freehand (Macintosh) and CorelDraw (IBM/DOS) generally give good results. Drawings made in WordPerfect or Word generally have a too low resolution; only if made at a much higher resolution (1016 dpi) can they be used. Files of scanned line drawings are acceptable if done at a minimum of 1016 dpi. For scanned halftone figures a resolution of 300 dpi is sufficient. Scanned figures compressed with JPEG usually give no problems. Please note that scanned figures cannot be enlarged, only reduced.
Manuscript preparation
Language
Papers will be published in English. Authors' manuscripts must be consistent in style, spelling and syntax. Authors in Japan please note that information about how to have the English of your paper checked, corrected and improved (before submission) is available from:

Estimation of length
For a rough estimate of the final length of their printed article, authors should count 850 words per full two-column page and four illustrations per page.
Keywords
A maximum of six keywords should be indicated below the abstract to describe the contents of the manuscript. Keywords should be selected, if appropriate, from the following classes: theoretical methods, experimental methods, phenomena, materials, and applications. A recommended list of current keywords used in the Journal are published regularly. This list may also be obtained from the Editor or publisher.
Colour illustrations
Illustrations can be printed in colour when they are judged by the Editor to be essential to the presentation. The publisher and author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. The charge to be passed on to authors of articles containing colour figures is Dfl 1300 (approx. US$ 800) for the first page containing colour and Dfl 650 (approx. US$ 400) for each additional page containing colour. Authors will be billed in Dutch Guilders; the dollar price is for guidance only and is based on the exchange rate at the time of the preparation of these instructions.
Author Enquiries
For enquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission), the status of accepted manuscripts through our Online Article Status Information System (OASIS), author Frequently Asked Questions and any other enquiries relating to Elsevier Science, please consult http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authors/
For specific enquires on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork/.
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication. Proofs
Authors will receive proofs, which they are requested to correct and return as soon as possible. No new material may be inserted in the text at the time of proof-reading. A Note added in proof must be dated and the author must have requested and received the Editor's approval.
Offprints
Twenty-five offprints are supplied to authors free of charge. Additional offprints may be ordered at prices shown on the offprint order form which will accompany the proofs. This order form should be returned promptly since the price of offprints ordered after publication is substantially higher.
