Instructions to Authors
Online manuscript submission
Kluwer Academic Publishers now offers authors, editors and reviewers of Optical and Quantum Electronics the option of using our fully web-enabled online manuscript submission and review system. To keep the review time as short as possible (no postal delays!), we encourage authors to submit manuscripts online to the journal's editorial office. Our online manuscript submission and review system offers authors the option to track the progress of the review process of manuscripts in real time. Manuscripts should be submitted to: http://www.editorialmanager.com/oqel
The online manuscript submission and review system for Optical and Quantum Electronics offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures. This system supports a wide range of submission file formats: for manuscripts - Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTex; for figures - TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, PPT, and Postscript.
NOTE: By using the online manuscript submission and review system, it is NOT necessary to submit the manuscript also in printout + disk. In case you encounter any difficulties while submitting your manuscript on line, please get in touch with the responsible Editorial Assistant by clicking on `CONTACT US'; from the tool bar.
Manuscript presentation
The journal's language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing: running head (shortened title); title; author(s); affiliation(s); full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address.
Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 200 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Key words
Please provide 3 to 6 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be explained at first occurrence. Contributors are asked to follow the recommendations of the IUPAP (Nuclear Physics 1 (1956) 539-556 and 7 (1958) 299-304).
Article Types
Optical and Quantum Electronics publishes Papers, Reviews, and Letters. Letters should communicate new and newsworthy results and should not normally exceed four printed pages (including figures). An abstract not exceeding 50 words should be included though section headings are not necessary.
Symbols and Units
It is preferred that SI units be used.
Figures and TablesSubmission of electronic figures
In addition to hard-copy printouts of figures, authors are requested to supply the electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript ( EPS ) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used and the hard copy will be scanned instead. Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g., `figure1. eps '. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25 pts and in-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman and Helvetica. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format but EPS is also acceptable. The following resolutions are optimal: black-and-white line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi ; line figures with some grey or coloured lines - 600 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is. Higher resolutions will not improve output quality but will only increase file size, which may cause problems with printing; lower resolutions may compromise output quality. Please try to provide artwork that approximately fits within the typeset area of the journal. Especially screened originals, i.e. originals with grey areas, may suffer badly from reduction by more than 10-15%. Submission of hard-copy figures
If no electronic versions of figures are available, submit only high-quality artwork that can be reproduced as is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re-typeset. The letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction. Photographs should be in black-and-white on glossy paper. If a figure contains colour, make absolutely clear whether it should be printed in black-and-white or in colour. Figures that are to be printed in black-and-white should not be submitted in colour. Authors will be charged for reproducing figures in colour.
Each figure and table should be numbered and mentioned in the text. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (first) author and the figure number should be written in pencil; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated. Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the manuscript following the Reference section. Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. The figure legends should be grouped and placed on a separate page. Figures are not returned to the author unless specifically requested.
In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.
Section Headings
Section headings should be numbered (e.g., 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 2, 2.1, etc.).
Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
Notes
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.
Cross-Referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by `et al .'. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like `a' and `b' after the date to distinguish the works. Examples: Winograd (1986, p. 204) (Winograd 1986a, b) (Winograd 1986; Flores et al . 1988) (Bullen and Bennett 1990)
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.

Moore, personal communication).
