9、iversity, University Park, PA 16802, USA, fax +1 814-863-7040, emailmatresinnovpsu.edu.Submission by email is preferred.The initial submission (in PDF or Word format) must conform to the guidelines laid out below and must include: a complete manuscript of the paper, which must include a paragraph sp

10、ecifically indicating how the literature was searched and, in the light of that, what is distinctively innovative or new about the contents a structured extended abstract (13001800 words) a bibliography listing the published work of a principal author (the benchmark for scientists in academia is 30

11、papers; fewer for those in industry).Incomplete submissions will not be considered.On acceptance of a contribution for publication, authors must provide text files suitable for typesetting and high resolution image files. Page proofs will be emailed to authors in PDF format and should be corrected a

12、nd returned as quickly as possible.Full paperThe full manuscript must conform to the presentation, formatting and style guidelines laid out below. The guide length is 3500 words, excluding tables and figures, but may be varied with the agreement of the Editor. There is no restriction in the use of c

13、olour in illustrations.Formatting and style guidelinesFormatting of manuscriptIn preparing the manuscript as a Word or rtf file, there is no need to format the article to a specific template, but please include italic or bold type where necessary.Use hard returns at the end of paragraphs only; switc

14、h auto hyphenation off; and do not justify text.Consistency in spacing, punctuation, and spelling is essential. The journal uses UK and ise spellings, e.g. characterise rather than characterize.Tables should be included within the manuscript file, not provided as separate files. Use Word Table mode,

15、 not tabs or spaces between columns. Do not provide tables as image files.Equations should be produced using Word Equation Editor.Structure of submissionThe submitted manuscript must contain: a title page giving full contact details for all authors. Pages should be numbered consecutively with the ti

16、tle page as page 1 an abstract of no more than 150 words, giving a concise summary of the aims, content, and conclusions up to 10 keywords to be used for indexing purposes list of symbols (if appropriate) text: section and subsection headings should be clearly differentiated, using a structured numb

17、ering system if necessary (note that this numbering is to guide typesetting and will not appear in the printed version): typically a paper will include, as a minimum, an Introduction (including Relation to previous work); Experimental methods and materials; Results and discussion; and Conclusions ap

18、pendices (if any) acknowledgements (if any) references (see below) a list of figure captions. Each figure should have a caption that is intelligible without reference to the text; discussion of figures should appear in the text of the paper, not the caption. Where appropriate, scales or magnificatio

19、ns must be provided tables figures.Following acceptance for publicationOn acceptance, authors must supply an electronic version of the final text in Word or a compatible word processor format, to the specification below (together with high resolution digital image files, as described below). Failure

20、 to conform to these requirements may delay typesetting and publication of the paper.Style guidelinesUse of SI units is mandatory. Journal style is to use the form S m-1, A m-2, W m-1K-1,notS/m, A/m2, W/m.K. The full form of any abbreviation or acronym should be given in the text when the term is fi

21、rst used. Do not use full points within abbreviations (e.g. SEM, XRD).Be careful not to use the same symbol to represent more than one variable. Ensure that Greek symbols are clear and that similar characters, e.g. the letter el and the number one and the letter oh and the number zero, are clearly d

22、istinguished and used consistently. A list of symbols should be provided if helpful to the reader.Figures should be cited in a single sequence throughout the text as Fig.1, Fig.2, Equations and tables should also be numbered in sequence and referred to in the text as, for example, equation (1) and T

23、able 1 respectively.Important note on equations in Word 2007:equations generated in Word 2007 cannot be used for typesetting because they are stored as images (unlike in previous versions of Word). Papers that include equations must be prepared in Word 2007 compatibility mode (as described below) or

24、 in an earlier version of Word, or using the MathType package to set the equations.Compatibility mode must be used from the outset to typeset equations; it is not possible to convert equations retrospectively. To use compatibility mode: (1) Using a new document, turn on compatibility mode by saving

25、as a Word 97-2003 document (use the Office button in the top left corner, select Save As, then choose Word 97-2003 document from the dropdown menu when naming the document). (2) It should be possible to paste text (but not equations) into the document without loss of formatting, although some Word 2

26、007 features are not available in compatibility mode. (3) To insert an equation, click Insert/Object/Microsoft Equation 3.0 to access the equation editor. The editor can be used for both displayed and inline equations, though for single symbols Insert/Symbol may be used. Inline equations must be on

27、one line only. (4) Continue to save the document as a Word 97-2003 document (this should happen automatically once step 1 has been completed).Reference and notes should be numbered serially in a single sequence. Citations in the text should be as superior characters, thus,1,2,4-6outside any punctuat

28、ion marks.References cited for the first time in a table or figure caption should be numbered as if they appeared in the text where the table or figure is first mentioned. References should be set out in a complete list at the end of the paper, numbered according to their appearance in the text, not

29、 positioned as footnotes.All references given must be complete, including all authors where known, and should be verified at source.Journalabbreviations in references follow the ISO system, e.g.G. Gogotsi:Mater. Res. Innov., 2006,10, (2), 179186.D. Zhong, B. Mishra, J. J. Moore and A. Madan:Surf. En

30、g., 2004,20, 196204.R. Sinclair, M. Preuss and P. J. Withers:Mater. Sci. Technol., 2005,21, 2734.M. M. Stack:Int. Mater. Rev., 2005,50, 118.If the abbreviation is not known, the journal title should be given in full. Where pagination is not consecutive through the volume, it is essential to give the

31、 month or part number.Bookreferences should give full bibliographic details, e.g.H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia: Bainite in steels, 2nd edn, 240; 2001, London, IoM Communications.J. V. Wood: in Future developments of metals and ceramics, (ed. J. A. Charleset al.), Vol.1, 235239; 1992, London, The Institute o

32、f Materials.Standard texts should not be cited in their entirety: indicate the appropriate page or section.Conferencereferences must include the date, location, and organiser or publisher of the meeting, e.g.M. H. Loretto: Proc. 2nd Int. Conf. on Research and development in net shape manufacturing, Birmingham, UK, March 1999, University of Birmingham, Paper 23.Reports, theses, etc. should be pre
