About the journal
Applied Surface Science is concerned with applied physics and chemistry of surfaces and interfaces and with the atomistic description of processing, modification and characterization of surfaces, interfaces and thin films. These include growth and epitaxy, oxidation, reactivity as well as surface modification by directed energy deposition (lasers, ion or electron beams) or other techniques (i.e. plasma etching). Important areas in the field are electronic materials, (i.e. semiconductors, organic films, ceramics) and chemical processes at surfaces, (i.e. catalysis, corrosion, reactivity).

Structure. Please adhere to the following order of presentation: Article title, Author(s), Affiliation(s), Abstract, PACS codes and keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendices, References,Figure captions, Tables.
Corresponding author. The name,complete postal address, telephone and fax numbers and the E-mail address of the corresponding author should be given on the first page of the manuscript.
PACS codes/keywords. Please supply one or more relevant PACS-2003 classification codes and 1-6 keywords of your own choice for indexing purposes. PACS codes available via http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pacs and from the AIP (http://www.aip.org/).
References. References to other work should be consecutively numbered in the text using square brackets and listed by number in the reference list. Please refer to a recent issue of the journal or to the more detailed instructions for examples.
Vectors. Vectors should be indicated by a wavy underlining in the manuscript, and will be printed in bold-face italics. If necessary, unusual symbols should be explained in pencil in the margin.
Illustrations
Illustrations should also be submitted in triplicate: one master set and two sets of copies. Micrographs must always be submitted in triplicate for refereeing purposes. The line drawings in the master set should be original laser printer or plotter output or drawn in black india ink, with careful lettering, large enough(3-5 mm) to remain legible after reduction for printing. The photographs should be originals, with somewhat more contrast than is required in the printed version. They should be unmounted unless part of a composite figure. Any scale markers should be inserted on the photograph itself, not drawn below it.
Colour plates. 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://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork.
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.
After acceptance
Important. When page proofs are made and sent out to authors, this is in order to check that no undetected errors have arisen in the typesetting (or file conversion) process. No changes in, or additions to, the edited manuscript will be accepted.
Copyright transfer. In the course of the production process you will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Author benefits
No page charges. Publishing in Applied Surface Science is free.
Free offprints. The corresponding author will receive 25 offprints free of charge. An offprint order form will be supplied by the publisher for ordering additional paid offprints.
Discount. Contributors to Elsevier Science journals are entitled to a 30% discount on all Elsevier Science books.
Authors enquiries
Authors can also 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.
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.
Additional author support is available from the Author Support Department (authorsupport@elsevier.com.
Online Submission Introduction
This service has been designed to be as easy as possible to use. Authors can upload their article as a LaTeX, Microsoft?(MS) Word?/B> or WordPerfect?/B>. It is also possible to submit an article in PostScript or Adobe?Acrobat?PDF format, but if the article is accepted it will be necessary to send in the original source files.
The system generates an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article which is used for the reviewing process. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is necessary. Note: articles are converted into PDF for the review process but may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards.
Journal specific guidelines on types of article accepted and how to prepare your article can be found in the Author Gateway journal page, in the Guide for Authors.
Word Processor Formats
Please submit your article as a file in one of the following formats:
- MS Word 6
- MS Word 97
- MS Word 98 for Macintosh?
- MS Word 2000
- WordPerfect 6.1 or higher
- RTF
Important notes on word processor file preparation
- For review purposes you must submit your article as a SINGLE FILE. You need to embed all your figures and tables within this file.
- Fonts: Please choose Times, Times New Roman, Courier, Arial or Helvetica fonts as much as possible. Other fonts (e.g. Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) character fonts) may cause the PDF conversion to fail. If your manuscript does not correctly convert to PDF, replace the font(s) where necessary and try again.
- Most formatting codes will be removed or replaced on processing your article so there is no need for you to apply excessive layout styling. In addition, avoid options such as automatic word breaking, justified layout, double columns, automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references). However, do use bold face, italic, subscripts, superscripts, etc.
- For the production of your article you will also have to submit your graphic files separately as high resolution graphics. (See also the section on Electronic Artwork below.)
LaTex
For general instructions on how to prepare an article using LaTeX, see the Latex file guidelines. In addition, please note the following:
- Include all your graphics in the LaTeX file, e.g. with the \includegraphics from the graphics package.
- Submit any special class (or style) files and other macro files with your article. We are using an up-to-date TeX installation (TeXLive5d), so you need not include any of the standard packages.
PDF
If possible, please submit the original LaTeX or word processor files: this website will take care of converting them into a PDF file.
If you wish to create your own PDF, download the ES_review.joboptions to the "Settings" folder of your Acrobat Distiller and choose the "ES_review" joboptions before converting your file.
Note: This joboptions file is for Adobe Distiller v4.05 and later. If you are still working with an older version, or if you need more help, see. PDF settings .
File naming
To avoid confusion, please make sure your file has a short, descriptive name. Short means less than 30 characters and descriptive means names like figure1.tif and smith-article-version1.doc.
For the production of your paper in the journal we need high-resolution graphic files in either TIFF or EPS. For information on how to prepare your artwork for electronic submission, see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
