About the journal
|
Ferroelectrics is designed to provide a forum for people working in ferroelectrics and related materials such as ferroelastics, ferroelectric-ferromagnetics, electrooptics, piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics, nonlinear dielectrics, and liquid crystals. Ferroelectrics publishes experimental and theoretical papers aimed at the understanding of ferroelectricity and associated phenomena and applied papers dealing with the utilization of these materials in devices and systems. An important aspect of Ferroelectrics is to provide a vehicle for the publication of interdisciplinary papers involving ferroelectricity.
The editor invites original papers and short communications on the theory, fabrication, properties, and applications of ferroelectrics and related materials. In addition to research papers, Ferroelectrics publishes appropriate and timely review articles.

Instructions to Authors
Click here to check your article status
No paper will be published without a transfer of copyright form and a transmittal form., Please send signed forms along with your manuscript to either the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor (if a regular submission) or to the appropriate conference organizer (if a conference proceeding).
INTRODUCTION It is essential that authors prepare their manuscripts according to established specifications. The effectiveness of the search capabilities offered by electronic delivery will depend upon the care used by authors in preparing their manuscripts. Therefore, contributors are strongly encouraged to follow these instructions closely while preparing a manuscript for submission, and to check the manuscript for compliance with these notes before submitting it for publication.
MANUSCRIPTS Manuscripts should be typed with double-spacing and submitted in triplicate. In addition, authors are requested to supply one extra copy of the article-opening page (should include the paper title, list of author(s) and affliation(s), abstract and keywords) and the article reference section, for publication in Ferroelectrics Communications. (Further information on Ferroelectrics Communications, which previews the research of more detailed papers submitted for possible publication in Ferroelectrics, Ferroelectrics Letters Section, and Integrated Ferroelectrics Authors are requested to forward their manuscripts to either the Editor:
G. W. Taylor Princeton Resources P.O. Box 211 Princeton, New Jersey 08542-0211, USA
or one of the Associate Editors:
Sidney B. Lang Department of Chemical Engineering Ben Gurion University of the Negev Beer Sheva 84105 Israel
Jan Petzelt Institute of Physics Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic 180 40 Prague 8 Liben Na Slovance 2 The Czech Republic
Koichi Toyoda Research Institute of Electronics Shizuoka University Hamamatsu 432 Japan
Submission of a paper to Ferroelectrics will be taken to imply that it represents original work not previously published, that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the Editors and the publisher. It is a condition of the acceptance by the Editors of a manuscript for publication that the publisher acquires automatically the copyright in the manuscript throughout the world.
Manuscript length: The maximum length preferred is 35 units, where a unit is a double-spaced typed page or one figure. Longer papers, or papers not following the prescribed editorial format, cannot be guaranteed prompt publication.
Abstract: Each manuscript requires a leading abstract of approximately 100 - 150 words summarizing the significant coverage and findings.
Keywords: Each maunuscript requires three to six keywords which characterize the contents of the paper.
AIP's (American Institute of Physics) Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme: In addition to Keywords, each author is encouraged to provide three to six classification codes from the AIP classification scheme.
FIGURES All figures should be numbered with consecutive arabic numbers, have descriptive captions, and be referred to in the text. Keep figures separate from the text, but indicate an approximate position for each in the margin. Captions should be collected on a separate sheet.
Preparation: Figures submitted must be of a high enough standard for reproduction. Line drawings should be prepared in black ink on white paper with all lettering and symbols included. Alternatively, good sharp photoprints ("glossies") are acceptable. Photographs intended for halftone reproduction should be good, original glossy prints, of maximum contrast. Clearly label each figure with the author's name and figure number; indicate "top" where this is not obvious. Redrawing or retouching of unusable figures will be charged to authors.
Size: The preferred width of submitted line drawings is 20 to 23 cm with capital lettering 4 mm high, to accommodate reduction to single-column width. Photographs for halftone reproduction should be about twice the desired size.
Color Plates: Whenever the use of color is an integral part of the research, or where the work is generated in color, the journal will publish the color illustrations without charge to authors. Reprints in color will carry a surcharge. Please write to the publisher for details.
TABLES Number tables consecutively with roman numerals and give each a clear descriptive caption at the top. Avoid the use of vertical rules in tables. Indicate in the margin where the typesetter should place tables.
EQUATIONS Wherever possible, equations should be typed with subscripts and superscripts clearly indicated. It is helpful to identify unusual symbols in the margin.
Units: Acceptable abbreviations will be found in the Style Manual of the American Institute of Physics and similar manuals. Metric units are preferred.
REFERENCES Indicate references in the text by superior arabic numbers enclosed in square brackets; collect and type the full list in numerical order on a separate page at the end of the paper. Listed references are arranged as follows:
1. J. C. Slater, J. Chem. Phys. 9, 16 (1941).
2. F. Jona and G. Shirane, Ferroelectric Crystals (Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1962), pp. 186-7.
It is assumed that with the development of the World Wide Web (WWW), authors and/or the publisher will propose distribution of articles or parts of articles on the WWW. If the HTTP address of a referenced article on the WWW is known, this information should be added at the end of the reference using the following style:
[www http://www.blouk.com/article.html]
where http://www.blouk.com/article.html is the HTTP address.
FOOTNOTES Authors are encouraged to minimize the use of footnotes. A footnote may include the designation of a corresponding author of the paper, current address information for an author (if different from that shown in the affliation), and traditional footnote content. Information concerning grant support of research should appear in a separate Acknowledgments section at the end of the paper, not in a footnote. Acknowledgments of the assistance of colleagues or similar notes of appreciation also properly belong in an Acknowledgments section, not in footnotes.
Footnotes should be indicated in the text by the following symbols: * (asterisk or star), † (dagger), ‡ (double dagger), ¶ (paragraph mark), § (section mark), || (parallels), # (number sign). Do not use numerals for footnote call-outs, as they may be mistaken for bibliographical reference call-outs or exponents. Type each footnote at the bottom of the manuscript page on which its text call-out appears.
Footnotes within a table should be indicated by the same symbols listed above. Reinitialize symbol sequence within tables. Type footnotes to a table directly beneath the table.
TEXT CALL-OUTS TO FIGURES, TABLES, SECTIONS, SCHEMES Text call-outs to figures, tables and other elements are the basis for searching articles on electronic delivery. Therefore, the proper designation of text call-outs to figures and other elements is essential to the success of electronic delivery. When referring to a figure, table or other element within an article, always call the element by its full name: "See Table I", "Figure 1 illustrates ...", "Refer to Scheme 1". Do not use ambiguous call-outs (for example, "1 illustrates ...") that do not clearly denote the element being referred to.
SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES ON DISK The publisher welcomes article submission on disk. Disks should be submitted with the final hard copy manuscript. The disk files and hard copy must match exactly. Articles prepared on most word processors are acceptable. If equations and/or scientific symbols have been imported into the article from another program, please provide details of the program used and the procedures followed. If author-created macros have been used, please include them as well.
When typing the article, do not include design or formatting information. Type all text flush left, unjustified and without hyphenation. Do not use indents, tabs or multi-spacing. If an indent is required, please note it by a line space; also mark the position of the indent on the hard copy manuscript. Indicate the beginning of a new paragraph by typing a line space. Leave one space at the end of a sentence, after a comma or other punctuation mark, and before an opening parenthesis. Be sure not to confuse lower case letter "1" with numeral "1", or capital letter "O" with numeral "0". Distinguish opening quotes from closing quotes. Do not use automatic page numbering or running heads.
Tables and displayed equations may have to be rekeyed by the typesetter from your hard copy manuscript.
Illustrations that are available in an electronic format are acceptable; please supply them on a separate disk. Please clearly indicate on the disk the file format and/or program used to produce them, and supply a high-quality hard copy of each illustration as well.
If more than one disk is submitted, please number each disk. Please mark each disk with the journal title, author name, abbreviated article title, and file names. Retain a back-up copy of each disk submitted and pack the disks carefully before shipping. Complete the Disk Specifications form that appears at the back of the journal (forms may also be obtained from the publisher, journal Editor or one of the Associate Editors) and submit it with the disks and hard copy manuscript.
SUBMISSION OF ANIMATION Author-supplied animation related to articles accepted for publication will be included in the journal CD-ROM at no cost to authors. Animations are limited to a time duration of 30 seconds. Animation should be submitted to the journal Editor or one of the Associate Editors with the final manuscript, after it has completed the refereeing process.
Animations in the following forms (in order of preference) can be accepted from authors:
- Video tape
- AVI or QuickTime files
- A sequence of still images
The following formats can be accepted:
- all uncompressed formats widely used on PC, Mac, and UNIX
- JPEG for colored and compressed images
- TIFF with a group IV compression for black and white compressed images
- FLI and FLC format from AutoDesk
Authors who submit animations are requested to provide the following information:
- Video tape - format used
- AVI or QuickTime files - version, and system used for disk file creation
- Sequence of still images - format used, version and system used for disk file creation
Authors who are unable to supply video tape, AVI or QuickTime files may provide the publisher with a set of sequential still images. Note than an animated sequence will consist of 13 to 15 still images per second of animation; e.g., if an animated sequence is 10 seconds in duration, it is made up of 130 images. Authors who are unable to submit in any of the above-mentioned formats are advised to contact the publisher to discuss other options prior to submission.
Animation should be mentioned in the text. Indicate an approximate location for the animation call-out in the margin.
PROOFS Authors will receive page proofs (including figures) by airmail for correction, which must be returned to the typesetter within 48 hours of receipt. Please ensure that a full postal address is given on the first page of the manuscript, so that proofs are not delayed in the post. Authors' alterations in excess of 10% of the original composition cost will be charged to authors.
REPRINTS Twenty-five free reprints will be supplied to the first-named author of a published manuscript. Additional reprints may be ordered by completing the appropriate form sent with page proofs.
Early Electronic Offprints: Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author's preferential rate of £15.00/$25.00 per copy. PAGE CHARGES There are no page charges to individuals or institutions. See the journal inside back cover for information on the publisher's per page charge voucher and voluntary page charge programs.
