Submitting manuscript |
| The Manuscript will be published in a special issue of Progress in Organic Coatings. The manuscript first has to be send to the Managing Editor. The manuscript will be submitted to Elsevier by the Organizing Committee. | |
|
It is essential to give a fax
number and e-mail address when submitting a manuscript. Articles must be
written in good English. Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher. |
|
| Electronic submission | |
| Authors should submit preferably by email their manuscripts in both word as pdf file. | |
| Electronic Submission | |
|
Authors should send an electronic version of their article by e-mail to the address given in the "Submission addresses" below. This electronic version will be used for the reviewing process. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is necessary. Note: electronic articles submitted for the review process may need to be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards. For this an "editable" file format is necessary. See the section on "Electronic format requirements for accepted articles" and the further general instructions on how to prepare your article below |

| Electronic format requirements | |
| We accept most wordprocessing formats, but Word, preferred. An electronic version of the text should be submitted together with the final hardcopy of the manuscript. The electronic version must match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Label storage media with your name, journal title, and software used. Save your files using the default extension of the program used. No changes to the accepted version are permissible without the explicit approval of the Editor. Electronic files can be stored on 3? inch diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh). | |
| Preparation of text | |
| Presentation of manuscript | |
|
Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these). Italics are not to be used for expressions of Latin origin, for example, in vivo, et al., per se. Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above). Print the entire manuscript on one side of the paper only, using double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. (Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively. |
|
| 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. | |
| Abstract | |
| A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length 500 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand-alone. | |
| Keywords | |
| A maximum of six keywords should be indicated below the abstract to describe the contents of the manuscript. | |
| Colour illustrations | |
|
Submit colour illustrations as original photographs, high-quality computer prints or transparencies, close to the size expected in publication, or as 35 mm slides. Polaroid colour prints are not suitable. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork. Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting colour figures to 'grey scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for colour in print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the colour illustrations. |
|
| Preparation of supplementary data | |
|
Elsevier now accepts
electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific
research. Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to
publish supporting applications, movies, animation sequences,
high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and more.
Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the
electronic version of your article in Elsevier web products, including
ScienceDirect:
http://www.sciencedirect.com. In order
to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure
that data is provided in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should
submit the material in electronic format together with the article and
supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed
instructions please visit our Author Gateway at
http://authors.elsevier.com. Files can be stored on 3?-inch diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh). |
|
| Submission checklist | |
|
It is hoped that this list
will be useful during the final checking of an article prior to sending it
to the journal's editor for review. Please consult this Guide for Authors
for further details of any item.
