Philosophical Magazine Letters
|
Philosophical Magazine Letters is the rapid communications part of the highly respected Philosophical Magazine which was first published in 1798. It publishes short and timely contributions in the field of condensed matter describing original results, theories and concepts relating to the structure and properties of crystalline materials, ceramics, polymers, glasses, amorphous films, composites and soft matter. Articles emphasising experimental, theoretical and modelling studies on solids, especially those that interpret their behaviours on an atomic or microscopic scale, are particularly appropriate |

1. The Scope of the Journal
Philosophical Magazine Letters is the rapid communications part of the highly respected Philosophical Magazine which was first published in 1798. It publishes short and timely contributions in the field of condensed matter describing original results, theories and concepts relating to the structure and properties of crystalline materials, ceramics, polymers, glasses, amorphous films, composites and soft matter. Articles emphasising experimental, theoretical and modelling studies on solids, especially those that interpret their behaviours on an atomic or microscopic scale, are particularly appropriate.

2. Submitting a paper to Philosophical Magazine Letters
Please read these Guidelines with care and attention: failure to follow them may result in your paper being delayed. Note especially the referencing conventions used by Philosophical Magazine Letters.
Philosophical Magazine Letters considers all manuscripts on condition they are the property (copyright) of the submitting author(s) and that copyright will be transferred to Philosophical Magazine Letters and Taylor & Francis Ltd if the paper is accepted.
Philosophical Magazine Letters considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Philosophical Magazine Letters, that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication, nor in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged all costs which Philosophical Magazine Letters incurs, and their papers will not be published.
- Please write clearly and concisely, stating your objectives clearly and defining your terms. Your arguments should be substantiated with well-reasoned supporting evidence.
- For all manuscripts, non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms should not be used.
- Abstracts of around 50-100 words are required for all manuscripts submitted and should precede the text of a paper.
- Manuscripts should be printed on single sides of A4 or 8 x 11 inch white good quality paper, double-spaced throughout, including the reference section.
- The total length of manuscripts should not exceed ten pages, including figures, references etc., when printed in the journal. The number of figures should not normally exceed four.
- Three copies of the manuscript should be sent for consideration to either of the Editors.
- Authors must include email, telephone and fax numbers on the cover page of manuscripts.
- Section headings, if used, should be concise and numbered sequentially, using a decimal system for subsections.
- In writing your paper, you are encouraged to refer to articles in the area you are addressing which have been previously published in the journal. This will enhance context, coherence, and continuity for our readers.
- Accepted manuscripts in their final, revised versions, should also be submitted as electronic files - see section 12, 'Electronic Processing'.
3. Abstracts
Structured abstracts are required for all papers, and should be submitted as detailed below, following the title and authors' names and addresses, preceding the main text.
State the primary objective and any hypothesis tested; describe the research design and your reasons for adopting that methodology; state the methods and procedures employed, including where appropriate tools, hardware, software, the selection and number of study areas/subjects, state the main outcomes and results, including relevant data; and state the conclusions that might be drawn from these data and results, including their implications for further research or application/practice.
Abstracts should not exceed 100 words.
4. Copyright permission
Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table, or extensive (more than fifty word) extract from the text, from a source which is copyrighted - or owned - by a party other than Taylor & Francis or the contributor.
Taylor & Francis Copyright Policy
This applies both to direct reproduction or 'derivative reproduction' - when the contributor has created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source.
Copies of the permission letters should be sent, with the manuscript, to the Editors.
5. Mathematics
Special care should be taken with mathematical scripts, especially subscripts and superscripts and differentiation between the letter 'ell' and the figure one, and the letter 'oh 'and the figure zero. If your keyboard does not have the characters you need, it is preferable to use longhand, in which case it is important to differentiate between capital and small letters, for example K, k and x and other similar groups of letters. Special symbols should be marked in the text and highlighted in the margin. In some cases it is helpful to supply annotated lists of symbols for the guidance of the sub-editor and the typesetter.
For simple fractions in the text, the solidus / should be used instead of a horizontal line, care being taken to insert parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity, for example, 1 / (n - 1). Exceptions are the proper fractions available as single type on a keyboard.
Full formulae or equations should be displayed, that is, written on a separate line. Horizontal lines are preferable to solidi.
The solidus is never used for units: m s-1 not m/s, but note electrons/s, counts/channel, etc.
Displayed equations referred to in the text should be numbered serially on the right hand side of the page. Short expressions not referred to by any number will usually be incorporated in the text, but are discouraged.
¦Ò= m2 - ¦Â ¡ú ¦Á (2)
In-text references to equations should be in the form ' ... as shown in equation (2) ...'
Symbols should be in italics and not underlined to indicate fonts except for tensors, vectors and matrices, which are indicated with a wavy line in the manuscript (not with a straight line or arrow above) or rendered in heavy type in print: upright sans serif r (tensor) or sloping serif r (vector) upright serif r (matrix).
Typographical requirements must be clearly indicated at their first occurrence, e.g. Greek, Roman, script, sans serif, bold, italic.
Braces, brackets and parentheses are used in the order {[( )]}, except where mathematical convention dictates otherwise (i.e. square brackets for commutators and anticommutators)
