About the journal
|
The aim of the Journal of Alloys and Compounds is identical to the journal's aim under its previous title: Journal of the Less-Common Metals. The journal was originally intended to serve as an international medium for the publication of work on the physical sciences of usually called less-common-metals, their compounds and their alloys. Its great strength lies in the diversity of discipline which it encompasses, drawing together results from materials science, solid-state chemistry and physics. The interdisciplinary nature of the journal is evident in many subject areas. Experimental and theoretical approaches to materials problems require an active interplay between a variety of traditional and novel scientific disciplines. In much of the work published in the journal, synthetic and structural studies are combined with investigations of chemical and physical properties of alloys and compounds, contributing to the development of areas of current scientific interest. The Journal of Alloys and Compounds provides a unique international forum where materials scientists, chemists and physicists can present their results both to workers in their own fields and to others active in related areas.

Instructions to Authors
Types of contributions
- Original research work not already published
- Plenary lectures and/or individual papers given at conferences
- Review articles; authors should first consult one of the Editors
- Letters
- Book reviews
Submission of contributions Authors should submit a disk together with three copies of their manuscripts, one complete set of original illustrations and two copies to the Editor responsible for the corresponding field of research. Manuscripts may also be submitted to a member of the Editorial Advisory Board who is familiar with the research presented. In the latter case, two complete copies of the manuscript, plus the original figures, should be sent to the appropriate Advisory Editor while simultaneously a third complete copy of the manuscript should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief.
Contributions are accepted on the understanding that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication. Submission of an article must be accompanied by a statement that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance of an article by the Journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. Authors are reminded that delays in publication may occur if the instructions for submission and disk and manuscript preparation are not strictly followed. Authors are strongly recommended to submit disks to aid rapid processing. To facilitate communication, authors are requested to provide their current e-mail address, telephone and fax number.
There are no page charges
Preparation of manuscripts on disk Main Text Articles prepared using any of the more popular word-processing packages are acceptable but please note the following points.
- Submissions should be made on a double-density or high-density 3.5" disk.
- The disk format, word-processor format, file name(s) and the title and authors of the article must be indicated on the disk.
- The disk must always be accompanied by a hard-copy version of the article, and the content of the two must be identical.
- The disk text must be the same as that of the final refereed, revised manuscript.
- Disks formatted for either IBM PC compatibles or Apple Macintosh are preferred. If you can provide either of these, our preference is for the former.
- The article must be saved in the native format of the word processor used, e.g. WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, etc.
- Although most popular word processor file formats are acceptable, we cannot guarantee the usability of all formats. If the disk you send us proves to be unusable, we will publish your article from the hard copy.
- Please do not send ASCII files as relevant data may be lost.
- There is no need to spend time formatting your article so that the printout is visually attractive (e.g. by making headings bold or creating a page layout with figures), as most formatting instructions will be removed upon processing.
- Leave a blank line between each paragraph and between each entry in the list of bibliographic references.
- Tables should preferably be placed in the same electronic file as the text. Authors should consult a recent issue of the Journal for table layout.
Graphics General Although there are still a large number of technical difficulties to overcome, we are processing graphic files in a growing number of cases. Both scanned and computer-generated illustrations, either in colour or black and white are acceptable. Requirements The following requirements are to be met: Hard copy in all cases. Since we cannot a priori guarantee the usability of your graphic file(s), hard copies of all illustrations should accompany the accepted printout of the manuscript in all cases. One set should be in a publishable condition. Disks: Files should preferably be submitted on disk, either IBM or Macintosh. Submission via e-mail is not recommended for large files. Format: TIFF or EPS files are preferred. TIFF files should preferably be compressed, but only LZW (Macintosh) compression is acceptable. Please note that corrections in EPS figures are only possible if they have been prepared withAdobe Illustrator 3.0 or higher versions. The usability of other formats is to a large extent dependent on the information you supply us with concerning the soft- and hardware used. It is a good idea to put the relevant information in the header of the file. Resolution: Drawings made with Adobe Illustrator and Aldus Freehand (Macintosh) and CorelDraw (IBM/DOS) generally give good results. Drawings made in WordPerfect or Word generally have a too low resolution; only if made at a much higher resolution (1016 dpi) can they be used. Files of scanned line drawings are acceptable if done at a minimum of 1016 dpi. For scanned halftone figures a resolution of 300 dpi is sufficient. Scanned figures compressed with JPEG usually give no problems. Please note that scanned figures cannot be enlarged, only reduced.
Manuscript preparation Language Papers will be published in English. Authors' manuscripts must be consistent in style, spelling and syntax. Authors in Japan please note that information about how to have the English of your paper checked, corrected and improved (before submission) is available from:
Elsevier Science Japan Higashi Azabu 1-chome Building 4F 1-9-5, Higashi Azabu, Minato-ku Tokyo 106 Tel: +81 (03) 5561 5032 Fax: +81 (03) 5561 5045
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
Keywords: Authors should select a maximum of five keywords from the Keywords List at the end of these instructions. Each Keyword should be accompanied by the capital letter denoting the category from which the keyword has been selected.
Colour illustrations Illustrations can be printed in colour when they are judged by the Editor to be essential to the presentation. The publisher and author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. The charge to be passed on to authors of articles containing colour figures is Dfl 1300 (approx. US$ 800) for the first page containing colour and Dfl.650 (approx. US$ 400) for each additional page containing colour. Authors will be billed in Dutch Guilders; the dollar price is for guidance only and is based on the exchange rate at the time of the preparation of these instructions.
Author Enquiries For enquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission), author Frequently Asked Questions and any other enquiries relating to Elsevier Science, please consult http://authors.elsevier.com
Authors can keep a track on the progress of their accepted article, and set up e-mail alerts informing them of changes to their manuscript's status, by using the "Track a Paper" feature of Elsevier's Author Gateway.
For specific enquires on the preparation of electronic artwork, please also consult http://authors.elsevier.com.
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.
Proofs Authors will receive proofs, which they are requested to correct and return as soon as possible. No new material may be inserted in the text at the time of proof-reading. A Note added in proof must be dated and the author must have requested and received the Editor's approval.
Offprints Twenty-five offprints are supplied to authors free of charge. Additional offprints may be ordered at prices shown on the offprint order form which will accompany the proofs. This order form should be returned promptly since the price of offprints ordered after publication is substantially higher.
