About the journal
Occurrence of corrosion and its practical control is an area of study covering a wide range of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science provides a medium for the communication of ideas, developments and research in all aspects of this field and includes both metallic and non-metallic corrosion.The scope of this international journal is very extensive. Published papers range from the highly theoretical to the essentially practical and cover such areas as high temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and mechanisms and methods of corrosion control. This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews in the fields of pure and applied corrosion, the degradation of materials, and both surface science and engineering. It forms an important link between metallurgists, materials scientists and all investigators of corrosion and degradation phenomena.
Instructions to Authors
Short Overview
Submission of papers:
By Mail: Manuscripts (1 original and 2 copies) accompanied by a covering letter should be sent to the submission address. Only after final acceptance should a disk/CD ROM be sent with the paper copies.
Submission address: Dr G.T. Burstein Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy University of Cambridge Pembroke Street Cambridge CB2 3QZ UK
Submission Language:
Papers submitted for publication in Corrosion Science must be written in good English. Any paper written in poor English will be returned to the authors for revision, even if the paper is otherwise acceptable.
The standard spelling of English for papers published in Corrosion Science is the UK spelling. Spellings can be found in the one of the several Oxford English Dictionaries, or their UK equivalent. Authors who submit manuscripts written using a word processor should set the spelling check for UK English, not US English.
Types of contributions: Reviews, Papers, Discussions (normally on already published papers and authors' replies that follow), Short Communications, Letters.
Papers submitted to Corrosion Science should represent either original research or critical reviews not previously published in the field of pure and applied corrosion science. Papers may be of a theoretical, experimental or practical nature, provided that they make a contribution to knowledge.
Letters: All letters should be submitted direct to the Editor-in-Chief Dr G.T. Burstein. These should be short articles, up to six manuscript pages (including tables and figures) in length, which report on something which is sufficiently new, timely, exciting or otherwise merit-worthy, as to require fast publication. These will be put through a fast-track procedure when it is deemed desirable by the Editors, and publication can be expected within four months of the date of receipt of the manuscript in the Editorial Office. Three copies of the manuscript, plus a disk containing the full paper, must be submitted for this course to be adopted. Letters need not be subdivided into conventional sections with headings; they should, however, contain an Abstract. It is ultimately the Editor-in-Chief's decision whether a particular manuscript should be fast-tracked or not.
Correspondence Section: Authors should ensure that their manuscripts contain nothing which may be regarded as of a personal nature, or is capable of being perceived as such. Correspondence should discuss the science, technical or engineering content only. Any manuscript submitted which does not follow this standard will be rejected.
Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Please consult a recent journal paper for style if possible.
Original material: 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 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.
Editor's requirements:
Authors of papers published in Corrosion Science are expected to act as referees for papers submitted to the Journal when asked to do so by the Editor. Referees are expected to provide a critical unbiased assessment of manuscripts sent to them for review, and to do so promptly: review of a paper should take no longer that four weeks from the date of receipt.
The publisher and the Editor in Chief together with the Editorial Board cannot guarantee the accuracy or correctness of anything published in Corrosion Science, and cannot accept responsibility for that. Accuracy, correctness and reproducibility of any paper or of any of the work therein are the sole responsibility of the authors of that paper.
Detailed instructions on manuscript preparation and artwork instructions can be found below. The editor reserves the right to return manuscripts that do not conform to the instructions for manuscript preparation and artwork instruction, as well as papers that do not fit the scope of the journal, prior to refereeing.

Manuscript Preparation:
General: Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use. An electronic copy of the manuscript on disk should accompany the final accepted version. Please use Word, or Word Perfect files for the text of your manuscript. Back to contents list
Structure: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Figure Captions and then Tables. For submission in hardcopy, do not import figures into the text - see Illustrations. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article and do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. Back to the contents list
Text Layout: Use 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, use 12 or 10 pt font size and standard fonts. If submitting in hardcopy, print the entire manuscript on one side of the paper only. Back to the contents list
Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Please consult a recent journal paper for style if possible. Back to the contents list
Abstract: A self-contained abstract (not exceeding 100 words) outlining in a single paragraph the aims, scope and conclusions of the paper must be supplied. Back to the contents list
Keywords: Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 5 keywords from the Keywords List at the end of these instructions (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Each keyword should be accompanied by the capital letter denoting the category from which the keyword has been selected. Back to the contents list
Units: Each paper should be consistent within itself as to abbreviations, symbols and units. The SI system should be used for all scientific and laboratory data; if, in certain instances, it is necessary to quote other units, these should be added in parentheses. Temperatures should be given in degrees Celsius. The unit 'billion' (109 in America, 1012 in Europe) is ambiguous and must not be used. Axes for graphs and headings for tables should be given in quantity calculus form, e.g. times as t (s), potential as E (mV/SHE), current density as I (A/m2). Back to the contents list
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript.
Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given. Example: "..... as demonstrated [3,6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result ...."
List: Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text. Examples: Reference to a journal publication: [1] J. van der Geer, J.A.J. Hanraads, R.A. Lupton, The art of writing a scientific article, J. Sci. Commun. 163 (2000) 51-59. Reference to a book: [2] W. Strunk Jr., E.B. White, The Elements of Style, third ed., Macmillan, New York, 1979. Reference to a chapter in an edited book: [3] G.R. Mettam, L.B.
