About the journal
Published since 1929, this monthly journal publishes research and review articles, rapid communications, and thematic issues on atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter, elementary particles and nuclear physics, gases, fluid dynamics and plasmas, electromagnetism and optics, mathematical physics, and interdisciplinary, classical and applied physics, and physics education.
Instructions to Authors
The Canadian Journal of Physics publishes reports representing significant contributions to physics. Reports may be submitted in English or in French for publication as an article, a research note, a tutorial, or a rapid communication. Research notes and rapid communications are papers of not more than eight journal pages including tables and figures. A rapid communication reports research of sufficient significance to merit rapid publication. A tutorial is an article whose particular significance is to elucidate or explain previously obtained results and has original research. Review articles are published by invitation only and not more than one such article may appear in any issue. Occasionally the Journal publishes a special issue on a theme chosen by a guest Editor. Anyone contemplating editing a supplement should seek the advice of the Editor at an early stage of consideration. The Journal does not make page charges.
Authors must check the symbols, abbreviations, and technical terms for accuracy, consistency, and readability and ensure that manuscripts and illustrations meet the Journal requirements outlined below. NRC Research Press maintains the right to preserve the technical quality of the Journal. Authors are requested to refer to a recent issue of the Journal for details of layout, especially for tables and reference lists. For general matters of style, authors may consult the American Institute of Physics Style Manual (available from the American Institute of Physics, 335 East 45th Street, New York, NY 10017, U.S.A., or at http://publish.aps.org/STYLE), but for specific regulations, these Instructions to Authors must be followed. Authors who do not have native fluency in English or French are encouraged to consult with a native English- or French-speaking colleague regarding language usage.
Delays in publication can be avoided by adherence to the instructions below.
Ethics
Authors must give assurance that no part of their manuscript reporting original work is being considered for publication, in whole or in part, elsewhere. The corresponding author must affirm that all of the authors have read and approved the manuscript.
Conflict of interest and disclosure
The Editor recognizes that authors and peer reviewers may have real or perceived conflicts of interest arising from intellectual, personal, or financial circumstances of their research. Submitted manuscripts should include full disclosure of funding sources for the research and the letter of transmission should include an explanation of any real or perceived conflicts of interest that may arise during the peer review process. Failure to disclose such conflicts may lead to refusal of a submitted manuscript.
The Manuscript
Manuscripts may be prepared using LaTeX (or REVTeX). Authors are encouraged to use the CJP LaTeX style file nrc1.sty, which can be downloaded and installed from ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/nrc/. A link to this web site, and other information for authors, including the Copyright Transfer Form, can be obtained by starting from the CJP web page http://cjp.nrc.ca and following the links indicated there. Manuscripts can also be prepared as WordPerfect or MS Word files.
All manuscripts, except those prepared using nrc1.sty, must be typed double-spaced, on one side only of quality paper 8.5 ?11 in. (or ISO A4) with 1 in. (2.5 cm) margins. A manuscript printed on a dot-matrix printer is not acceptable. The manuscript will include, in the following order, the title page, the abstract, a brief introduction, main text, concluding section, acknowledgments, reference list, any appendices, tables (each starting on a separate page and including a title), and figure captions (typed on a separate page in numerical order). Each page of the manuscript must be numbered at the top of the page, beginning with the title page. Use an italic font for material that is to be set in italics. Manuscripts that do not conform to this format may be returned to the author for correction before review.
Spelling should follow that of Webster抯 Third New International Dictionary or the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors are responsible for consistency in spelling.
Symbols, units, and nomenclature should conform to international recommendations. SI units (Syst鑝e international d抲nit閟) should be used or SI equivalents should be given. This system is explained and other useful information is given in the Canadian Metric Practice Guide (2000) published by CSA International (178 Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON M9W 1A3, Canada, at http://www.csa-intl.org/onlinestore/GetCatalogItemDetails.asp?mat=000000000002414516). For practical reasons, some exceptions to SI units are allowed. Superscripts and subscripts must be legible and appropriately placed, and unusual and Greek characters must be identified clearly.
The title page, alone on p. 1, of the manuscript should contain only the title; the authors?names; the institute and address (with postal code) at which the research was done; corresponding author抯 address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address; any necessary footnotes; and the index classification of the paper according to the current Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme (PACS)?/SUP>. The Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme, developed by the American Institute of Physics, is used with its permission by the Canadian Journal of Physics. Detailed listing is at http://publish.aps.org/PACS/.
A one-paragraph abstract (p. 2) of 300 words or less is required for articles and tutorials; an abstract of less than 150 words should be provided for rapid communications and research notes. Authors who can submit abstracts in both fluent English and French are encouraged to do so. Titles and abstracts provide information for information-retrieval and alerting services, and should therefore be informative but brief. Authors should bear in mind that many colleagues will decide whether to read the article on the basis of the information presented in the abstract. Abstracts must not contain references but may include abbreviations and symbols only if they are generally familiar to physicists.
An introduction explaining in precise terms the problem with which the article is concerned, the motivation for the work, and its relation to existing knowledge must constitute the first section of each article.
A concluding section summarizing the contribution made to knowledge and explaining its significance must constitute the last section of the body of each article.
Acknowledgments follow the body of the paper in a separate section.
References should be verified by checking the original publications. In the bibliography, which follows the acknowledgments, references are numbered and listed in the order in which they are first cited in the text. Each reference must be cited in the text and designated therein by its unique key number typed on the line and in square brackets. In a reference to the periodical literature, initials precede the surnames of the authors, followed by the name of the periodical (abbreviated in the form used in CASSI, Chemical Abstracts Service, P.O. Box 3012, Columbus, OH 43210, U.S.A.), the volume number, initial page number, and year in parentheses. A very extensive list of journal abbreviations from both CASSI and the American Mathematical Society is available at http://publish.aps.org/STYLE/style_jabbr.html. If in doubt, authors should write the full name of the periodical. References to books, conference proceedings, theses, etc., should include the name(s) and initials of the author(s), the title of the publication, the name(s) and initials of the editor(s), if any, the name of the publisher, the city and year of publication, and the page or chapter cited. For examples of the appropriate format, see a recent issue of the Journal. References to e-print archives may also be included, along with the hard copy version if available.
A manuscript known to be in press, with the name of the journal, book, or conference proceedings, may be used as a reference. Papers submitted but not yet accepted for publication should be denoted as unpublished as a footnote. Other forms of material may be denoted as a private communication as a footnote.
Footnotes to material in the text should not be used unless they are unavoidable, but their use is encouraged in tables. Where used in the text, footnotes should be cited in the manuscript by superscript Arabic numbers (except in the tables, see below) and should be numbered serially beginning with any that appear on the title page. Each footnote should be typed on the manuscript page upon which the reference is made; footnotes should not be included in the list of references.
Equations should be clearly typed; triple-spacing should be used if superscripts and (or) subscripts are involved. Superscripts and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed. Distinguish between lowercase l and the numeral one, and between capital O and the numeral zero. A letter or symbol should represent only one entity and be used consistently throughout the paper. Each variable must be defined in the text, or in a List of symbols to appear after the reference list. Variables representing vectors, matrices, vector matrices, and tensors must be clearly identified. Numbers identifying equations must be in parentheses and placed flush with the right margin. In numbering, no distinction is made between mathematical and chemical equations.
Tables should be numbered in Arabic numerals in the order cited in the text and each should have a brief title. All information in the tables should be typewritten and double-spaced, except for mathematical or chemical equations, chemical structures, or a large number of complicated entries, which should be triple-spaced. Each table must be on a separate sheet and should not be more than three times the size of the final reproduction. Abbreviations may be used in the column headings with explanatory footnotes where necessary. Footnotes are indicated by lowercase italic superscript letters or by symbols (*, ? ? ? ||, ? #). Descriptive material not designated by a footnote may be placed under a table as a Note. Tables must not contain vertical or superfluous horizontal lines.
Appendices ?Figures and tables used in an appendix should be numbered sequentially but separately from those used in the main body of the paper, such as Fig. A1, Table A1, etc.
Supplementary material ?The National Research Council of Canada maintains a depository in which supplementary material may be placed, either at the request of the author or suggestion of the Editor. In addition, supplementary material can now be made available in its native file format on the journal Web site. It will be linked from the Web page of the associated article. Such material may include extensive tables of data, detailed calculations, and maps not essential for understanding and evaluating the paper. Such material must be clearly marked when the manuscript is submitted. Tables and figures should be numbered in sequence separate from those published with the paper (e.g., Fig. D1, Table D1). The supplemental material should be referred to by footnotes. Copies of material in the depository may be purchased from the Depository of Unpublished Data, CISTI, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6, Canada.
Illustrations
Figures, individually or in groups, should fit on one page after reduction. The page size is 14.4 x 21.2 cm (5.7 x 8.3 in). The figures (including halftones) must be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals, and each one must be referred to in the text and must be self-explanatory. All terms, abbreviations, and symbols must correspond with those in the text. Only essential labelling should be used, with detailed information given in the caption. The same information should not be presented in both graphical and tabular form. Each illustration must be identified by the figure number and the authors?names on the back of the page or in the left-hand corner, well away from the illustration area.
Line drawings should be made with black ink or computer-generated in black on high-quality white paper or other comparable material. For computer-generated graphics, supply a laser print at the highest resolution available. Photocopies are not acceptable.
All lines must be sufficiently thick (0.5 points minimum) to reproduce well, and all symbols, superscripts, subscripts, and decimal points must be in good proportion to the rest of the drawing and large enough to allow for any necessary reduction without loss of detail. Avoid small open symbols; these tend to fill in upon reproduction. Lettering produced by dot matrix printers or typewriters, or by hand, is not acceptable. The same font style and lettering sizes should be used for all figures of similar size in any one paper.
Photographs should be continuous tone on glossy paper. Prints must be of high quality, on glossy paper, with strong contrast. The copies for reproduction should only show essential features, be trimmed, and mounted on thin flexible white bristol board with no space between those arranged in groups. A photograph, or group of them, should be planned to fit into the area of either one or two columns of text with no further reduction. Electron micrographs or photomicrographs should include a scale bar directly on the print. The best results will be obtained if the authors match the contrast and density of all figures arranged as a single plate.
Colour illustrations will be at the author抯 expense. Further details on prices are available from Evelyn Kidd, Managing Editor, NRC Research Press (613-998-3789; fax: 613-952-7656; e-mail: evelyn.kidd@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
NRC Research Press prefers the submission of electronic illustration files for accepted manuscripts and will use these electronic files whenever possible. Three sets of paper versions of figures must be submitted to the Editorial Office, even if electronic versions are to be submitted for use in production. If electronic files are not available, paper versions of the figures will be scanned. Note that the scanner will easily reproduce flaws (e.g., correction fluid, smudges). Submission of noncontinuous (screened) photographs and scanned illustrations printed out on laser printers is not recommended as moir閟 develop; a moir?is a noticeable, unwanted pattern generated by rescanning or rescreening an illustration that already contains a dot pattern.
Preparation of Electronic Illustration Files
Authors must supply electronic graphic files and high-quality, hard-copy originals. Electronic files (i.e., figure number and figure content) should match the originals. On the disk label, identify (i) the software application and version and (ii) file name(s), size, and extension. If you have compressed your files, indicate what compression format was used. PC or Macintosh versions of True Type or Type 1 fonts should be used. Do not use bitmap or nonstandard fonts. Electronic graphics can be accepted on the following disks: 3? disks, 100 MB Zip cartridge, and CD-ROM.
The preferred graphic application of NRC Research Press is CorelDraw! For other applications that can be used, see the electronic graphics list at http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/cgi-bin/rp/rp2_prog_e?cjp_graphics_e.html. Figures may be sent as encapsulated PostScript (*.eps) files, with one figure per file. For LaTeX submissions this is the required format.
All figures should be submitted at their final published size. For figures with several parts (e.g., a, b, c, d, etc.) created using the same software application, assemble them into one file rather than sending several files.
Remember that the more complex your artwork becomes, the greater the possibility for problems at output time. Avoid complicated textures and shadings, especially in vector illustration programs; this increases the chance for a poor-quality final product.
Bitmap (raster) files ?Bitmaps are image files produced using a grid format in which each square (or pixel) is set to one level of black, colour or grey. A bitmap (rasterized) file is broken down into the number of pixels or picture elements per inch (ppi). Pixels per inch is sometimes referred to as dots per inch (dpi). The higher the resolution of an image, the larger the number of pixels contained within the rectangular grid.
The proper resolution should be used when submitting bitmap artwork. The minimum requirements for resolution are 600 dpi for line art, 1200 dpi for finelines (line art with fine lines or shading), 300 dpi for halftones and colour, and 600 dpi for combinations (halftones with lettering outside the photo area).
All colour files submitted must be as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). These colours are used in full-colour commercial printing. RGB graphics (red, green, and blue; colours specifically used to produce an image on a monitor) will not print correctly.
Vector files ?Vector files are image files produced using elements such as lines and shapes. Typically these files are used for line drawings.
Bitmaps inside vector files ?Bitmaps can be imported into vector/draw applications only for the purpose of adding and overlaying information, lines, text, etc. Bitmaps should not be resized, cropped, rotated, or otherwise manipulated after importing.
The Publication Process
Hard copy submission ?The original and three copies of a manuscript should be submitted to the appropriate Associate Editor (see p. iii of each issue). Acknowledgment of receipt of a manuscript will normally be sent to the authors within 2 working days.
Electronic submission ?A LaTeX file may be sent as an attachment, together with separate attachments for each of the figures, to the appropriate Associate Editor, or to the CJP Editorial Office at cjp@uwindsor.ca. Manuscripts can also be submitted as WordPerfect or MS Word files.
Review ?Authors are invited to suggest names with addresses of up to six referees whom they believe to be competent arms-length reviewers. (An arms-length reviewer cannot be a relative, a colleague in the same department, a former or current supervisor or student, or a recent research collaborator.) The Associate Editor will arrange for the review of each manuscript, normally by two referees. Referees suggested by the authors may or may not be used. It is not uncommon for authors to be requested to revise manuscripts in response to the referees?comments. If the revisions are extensive the revised manuscript may be reviewed again. The Editor of the Journal makes the final decision as to whether a paper is accepted or rejected.
Accepted manuscripts ?Once a paper has been accepted, all correspondence should be with NRC Research Press, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6, Canada.
Submission of electronic copy ?Authors who are using any form of TeX may send the final accepted version of their manuscript electronically to cjp@uwindsor.ca, following the procedures described above under Electronic submission, or text (including tables) may be provided in any form of TeX using either IBM compatible or Macintosh disks. TeX macros for preparing papers for submission are available at ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/nrc/, ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/nrc, and ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/nrc. Authors not using some form of TeX or LaTeX are required to send the final accepted manuscript in both hard copy format and on disk. Text files and figure files should be submitted on separate disks. All disks must be labelled clearly with the authors?names. Identify the wordprocessing software, version number, and type of computer used (IBM or Macintosh). For figures, see the section "Preparation of Electronic Illustration Files." Include a statement in the letter accompanying the manuscript that the version on the disk exactly matches the final hard copy version.
Copyright material ?Whenever a manuscript contains material (figures, tables, etc.) that is protected by copyright, it is the obligation of the author to secure written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material for both the print and electronic formats. Photocopies of letters of permission must be forwarded to NRC Research Press, as soon as the manuscript has been accepted.
Galley proofs ?For articles, research notes, and tutorials, a galley proof, illustration proofs, and a reprint order form are sent to the author. Galley proofs of rapid communications are not sent to the author; authors of research notes may waive their privilege of receiving galley proofs. Galley proofs must be checked very carefully, as they will not be proofread by NRC Research Press, and must be returned within 48 hours of receipt. The proof stage is not the time to make extensive corrections, additions, or deletions. The cost of changes introduced by the author and deemed to be excessive will be charged to the author. Questions concerning galley proofs should be addressed to Frances Flavelle (613-993-5780; fax: 613-952-7656; e-mail: fran.flavelle@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
Reprints ?To order reprints, the completed order form must be returned with payment (cheque, credit card number, purchase order number, or journal voucher) together with the corrected proofs and manuscript, or in the case of a communication, as soon as possible. Orders submitted after the Journal has been printed are subject to considerably higher prices. The Journal does not provide free reprints, and reprints are not mailed until a purchase order number or payment is received.
Copyright transfer ?As soon as the article is published, the author is considered to have transferred all rights to the publisher. Copyright transfer forms are available from the Editor, in the January issue of the Journal, or on the web site of NRC Research Press.
Requests for permission to republish the article, in whole or in part, should be sent to the NRC Publishing Office.
