Authors interested in submitting this type of review article to Materials Technology & Advanced Performance Materials are advised to first contact the journal for further guidance on acceptable topics and style.
Manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that the content is original and that it has not been submitted for publication elsewhere.
Authors must provide the title, complete mailing address, phone number, facsimile number, and E-mail address of the person to whom correspondence or reader inquiries can be directed. Terminology specific for a particular field should be avoided unless first briefly explained. While the readers of Materials Technology & Advanced Performance Materials are involved in some aspect of materials science and engineering, They are not necessarily familiar with every specialized field. Therefore, jargon should not be used.
The same applies to acronyms and abbreviations. Acronyms and abbreviations should be spelled out when first used (followed by the acronym or abbreviation in parens) and kept to a minimum throughout. The objective is to make the information in the articles as accessible as possible to the reader.
Your article should be submitted both in doublespaced hard copy and on a diskette. The diskette can be formatted for either a MAC or PC, and your file saved in either Microsoft Word (MAC) or WordPerfect or MS Windows (PC). Please clearly specify on the diskette the file name, the format, and the word processing program used. Alternatively, the electronic file can be sent via the
Internet to articles @materials-technology.co.uk. If possible, it should be compressed with Stuffit (.sit) for MAC users or with ZIP (.zip) for PC users, and transmitted as a file attachment.
Graphics should be sent as PICT (Mac) or TIFF (PC) file attachments
and also compressed, if possible.
Noncomputer generated photos or graphics should be mailed. If authors want their figures returned, please note that on the back with the mailing address. The Figure will be returned as soon as the issue is ready for printing.
Subheads should be used to delineate specific sections in the article.
An abstract of about four or five lines in length (60 to 100 words) must be provided at the beginning of the article..
Units Units. Authors are requested to adhere to the SI system of units. If use of SI units would hinder reader comprehension, then alternate metric units may be used. All data are to be given in metric units with a list of conversion factors used. Examples of acceptable exceptions to SI units are:
Time Time: use h (of hours) or minutes (but not min) in place of s
Temperature Temperature: use oC instead of K (when using K, do not write oK)
Distance Distance: use km, m, mm, µm, nm whenever possible (avoid Å)
Mass Mass: use g, kg, k, mg, ng
References References. All references should be numbered in the text and listed in numerical order. Where used, citation of references is by full-size numerals in brackets before the period at the end of the sentence, e.g. [1] or [1, 2]. Examples of preferred reference style follow:

Figures Figures. Original figures must be provided, preferably in duplicate,
along with the hard copy and an electronic file. For each figure, write on a label (using a ball- point pen) the figure number, the top of the figure, and the name of the first author, and affix the label to the back of the figure. Do not write on the figure itself. Appropriate magnification markers must be drawn on the photographs preferably in the lower right-hand corner; use micrometer (µm) markers. Line drawings and graphical figures should be provided as reproducible copies, (black-ink tracings of originals are preferred). Graphs should be simple with a minimum of scale marks and coordinate lines. Lettering and data point symbols should be large enough to read with ease when the figure is reduced for the Journal page. Avoid hand lettering.
Concise descriptive captions for the figures should be typed on a separate page. Do not write anything beneath the figures. Number each figure on the back.
Tables Tables. Tables should be typewritten double-spaced, each with an Arabic number and title above the table and explanatory notes and legends below. Provide a key in alphabetical order for each table to identify all abbreviations used; this key should be placed below any explanatory notes.
Legends Legends. Type legends double-spaced. Numbers should be Arabic and correspond to the order in which the illustrations occur in the text. Identify in alphabetical order all abbreviations appearing in the illustration at the end of each legend.
Reprints Reprints. Each contributing author will receive a reprint order form.
Page charges charges. There are no page charges.
Copyright . Inclusion of previously published figures requires that the authors obtain permission to reprint each figure from the copyright holder, usually the original publisher. Authors must provide signed permission letters from the copyright holder when submitting these figures. This applies to photographs, line drawings, and graphs that remain in the precise form and format of their earlier publication. Acknowledge the permission to reprint in the legend. When a figure is altered, credit the original source in the legend. For previously published tables, cite the source in a footnote.
Preferably your review article should be submitted both in
doublespaced hard copy and on a diskette in WordPerfect or Microsoft Word for either MAC or PC. If you use another of the major word processing programs, please indicate clearly on the label which one and the version.
Electronic Files
All design considerations for typefaces, page layout, and artwork will be handled by the Publisher after receipt of the manuscript. Be especially sure to distinguish between the letters O and l and the numbers 0 and 1, respectively. A hard return results from tapping the keyboard¡¯s Enter key. Use a hard returnonly to end paragraph, or for titles, subheads, separate items on a list, etc. Rely on the word processor¡¯s word wrap ( soft return ) within paragraphs, list items, etc.
Use your word processor's capabilities for the following text attributes:
a.) bold
b.) underline and italic
c.) subscript
d.) superscript
e.) strikeout
Text that will be italic in published form can be keyboarded italic or underlined. Do not use your word processor's hyphenation capabilities.
Do not right justify text. Use two hyphens for long dashes. No headers, footers, or page numbers. In tables, use only tabs, not spaces, to align columns.
Organization and Delivery of Electronic Files
Manuscripts must be submitted on diskettes that can be PC or MAC format. The author should retain copies of all files as backup.
Diskettes should each be labeled with:
a.) author's name
b.) short title of article
c.) operating system
d.) format
e.) word processing program used including version
number
If possible, it is helpful to have additional material such as tables, figure legends, and references saved as individual files ¡ª one file for each category. A file key should accompany the diskette. It is essential that submitted electronic files exactly match the final printout.
Diskettes should be packed between cardboard (or with foam or bubble-wrap) in an envelope that states that magnetic media is enclosed.
