 |
The Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena publishes experimental, theoretical and applied work in the field of electron spectroscopy and all subjects relevant to electronic structure. Subject areas covered include: surfaces, interfaces, and thin films; semiconductor physics and chemistry; materials science including: metal surfaces, ceramics, high Tc superconductors, polymers, biomaterials and other organic films; catalysis; solid state physics; atomic and molecular physics; and synchrotron radiation science. The journal encourages contributions in the general area of atomic, molecular, ionic, and surface spectroscopy carried out using synchrotron radiation. Papers using photoemission and other techniques, in which synchrotron radiation is combined with electron velocity analysis are especially welcome. Target systems can be on free molecules, liquids, solids or surfaces. The individual techniques of electron spectroscopy include photoelectron spectroscopy of both outer and inner shells, both UV and X-ray induced; inverse photoemission; spin-polarised photoemission; Auger spectroscopy including ion neutralization studies; edge techniques (EXAFS, NEXAFS,...) spectro-microscopy, high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy; electron scattering and resonance electron capture; electron spectroscopy in conjunction with microscopy; penning ionization spectroscopy including scanning tunneling spectroscopy; theoretical treatments of the photoemission, Auger, energy loss and Penning ionization processes. Contributions on instrumentation and technique development, date acquisition - analysis - quantification are also welcome.
Comments and Proposals: We are interested in receiving comments/feedback on our journals and very much welcome publication proposals for books, electronic products, new journals and co-operation for existing journals. In all cases contact Dr Andy Gent, Publishing Editor. E-mail: a.gent@elsevier.com

Instructions to Authors The Guide for Authors has been printed in the style of the journal. The aims and scope of the journal and the categories of articles that may be submitted are given, followed by detailed instructions about how to lay out your contribution to ensure rapid processing by the Shannon editorial office. Please follow these instructions carefully. Elsevier Science's preferred means of submission is an electronic file on disk: the disk must match the hardcopy exactly, and should be sent to the Editor after your article has been accepted. Electronic files for the illustrations are welcome: hardcopy versions of the illustrations should also be provided. Authors should include up to six suggested keywords. Telephone and fax numbers (and e-mail address if available) for the corresponding author should be provided.
Keywords: Category of article; Copyright; Electronic submission; Illustrations; Lay out
For names of, for example, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish and Taiwanese extraction, please indicate the family name (for indexing purposes) by underlining.
1. Categories of articles
In addition to Full Papers, articles may be classified as Rapid Communications, Review Articles, Data Bank Items, and Instrumental News.
Rapid Communications are short articles of not more than four printed pages (including illustrations and tables). An abstract of not more than 75 words should be included. A Rapid Communication can be a self-contained complete article too brief to be classified as a Full Paper, preliminary notes for an on-going piece of work, extension of a previously published work, or comments on published work. The short article should in principle merit accelerated publication. No proof is sent to the author, and publication should occur within 3-4 months after the article is received complete in Shannon.
Review Articles will often be invited, but contributions are also encouraged. In general, the length should not exceed 30 printed pages, and authors are recommended to contact one of the Editors or Editorial Board Members if in doubt concerning the appropriateness of the subject matter. Authors may choose between a modest honorarium or 100 extra free offprints.
Data Bank is a category reserved for electron spectroscopy information in the form of tables or spectra with a minimum of accompanying script. It is really a means of providing data that would not otherwise be published. Compilations of literature data or references are also occasionally published within this category. There is no page limitation.
Instrumentation News is a category providing information on instruments or hardware used in electron spectroscopy. It is open to commercial instrument manufacturers and individual researchers alike as a place to present descriptions of new instruments, special components, etc. The manuscripts will be processed by the Editors without further refereeing because it is not intended that they be full technical papers; such papers should be submitted within the normal journal categories. This category is intended primarily as a news service to readers.
2. Refereeing
All scientific articles submitted will be refereed. The Editors reserve the right to reject articles and to edit manuscripts when necessary.
3. Page charge and offprints
There is no page charge. Fifty offprints of each article will be provided free of charge to the principal author. Additional offprints can be ordered at prices shown on the offprint order form that accompanies the proof. For Rapid Communications, the offprint order form is sent to the principal author when the manuscript is received in Shannon from the Editor.
4. Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be written in English. Submit the original and two copies of your manuscript. Enclose the original illustrations and three sets of copies. Compuscripts (electronic manuscripts) are also acceptable. (For further details see Guide for the preparation of compuscripts, Section 16, below.) Manuscripts should be typed and double spaced. Leave a margin of at least 3 cm on each side of the paper. Corrections should be made in the text, not in the margins. Paginate the entire manuscript on the top right-hand corner of the pages. Underline words that should be in italics, and do not underline any other words. Excessive use of italics for emphasis should be avoided. The use of nomenclature and symbols adopted by IUPAC is recommended (Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, Blackwell Scientific, Oxford, 1988). Manuscripts should be organized in the following order. (a) Title (b) Name of author and affiliation (c) Abstract (d) Up to six keywords for indexing (e) Introduction (f) Experimental (methods, techniques, and materials studied) (g) Results (h) Discussion (i) Conclusions (j) Acknowledgements (k) Appendices (l) References (m) Captions for the illustrations (n) Tables (o) Illustrations (figures and other artwork) Elsevier reserves the privilege of returning to the author for revision accepted manuscripts and illustrations which are not in the proper form given in this guide.
5. Copyright and permissions
Upon acceptance of an article by the journal, the authors will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer ensures the widest possible dissemination of information. The copyright transfer form is sent with the proof. For Rapid Communications, the copyright transfer form is sent to the principal author when the article is received in Shannon from the Editor. If excerpts from copyrighted works are included in the new work, the author must obtain written permission from the copyright holder, and must credit the source in the article.
6. Abstract
The Abstract should be a concise and factual description of the contents and conclusions, and indicate any new findings. References and formulae should be avoided in the Abstract if at all possible.
7. Tables
Authors should take notice of the limitations set by the size and lay-out of the journal. A table should not exceed the printed area of the page. If this seems impossible, try reversing columns and rows. Large tables should be avoided. Fold-outs will not normally be accepted. If many data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide these over two or more tables. Tables to be treated as artwork, from which prints need to be made, should not be folded. Tables should be numbered using arabic numerals according to their sequence in the text. The text should include mention of all tables. Tables should be typewritten on separate pages and added to the manuscript after the reference list. Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title. Column headings should be concise. Units should be added between parentheses or after a solidus (virgule). Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns; instead, leave some extra space between the columns. Any explanations essential to the understanding of the table should be given in footnotes at the bottom of the table.
8. Illustrations
All illustrations should be supplied on separate sheets, on drawing or tracing paper (good quality laser output is also acceptable); not stuck down or folded. Photocopies are usually not of sufficient quality to reproduce well. Electronic files (on disk) for illustrations are welcome: good quality hardcopies of all illustrations must be supplied even if electronic files on disk are submitted in addition. Illustrations should be numbered using arabic numerals according to their sequence in the text. Mention of each figure should be made within the text.
Each illustration should be identified on the reverse side (or, in the case of line drawings, on the lower frontside) by its number, the name of the author, and the title of the paper. If there could be confusion concerning the orientation of the illustration, please indicate which edge is the top.
Illustrations should be designed with the format of the pages of this journal in mind. Fold-outs will not normally be accepted. Illustrations should be of such a size as to allow a reduction of 50% (i.e. to fit in one column). For drawn artwork,the lettering (in English) should be uniform and in black, waterproof drawing ink, or by printed labels. The letter sizing should allow a reduction of 50% without becoming illegible. If size needs to be indicated, use bar scales (numerical scales must be changed when we reproduce illustrations at less than 100%).
Each illustration should have a caption. The collected captions should appear as a separate page at the end of the manuscript. Illustrations in more than two parts should be clearly labelled (a), (b), etc., in reproducible lettering when they are referred to separately.
Standard symbols only should be used in your line drawings.
Photographs are only acceptable if they have good contrast and intensity. Sharp and glossy copies are required. Reproductions of photographs that have already been printed are unacceptable.
Formulae and schemes that cannot be typeset should be submitted as illustrations suitable for direct reproduction.
A figure should be referred to in the text using the abbreviation Fig., even when it is the first word of a sentence.
Colour illustrations cannot usually be printed unless origination and printing costs are paid by the author.
9. References
All references made to publications in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the information in the text is exactly the same as that given in the reference list. References to the literature should be made according to the Vancouver (numerical) system.
In the text, refer to the subject or to the author's name (without initial), followed by the reference number in square brackets.
If reference is made in the text to publications written by more than two authors, the name of the first author should be used, followed by ``et al.''. In the reference list, the family names of all the authors should be given in full, along with their initials.
References in the list should be arranged in the order in which they are cited in the text.
Use the following system for arranging the references.
9.1. For journals

Abbreviations of journal titles should conform to those adopted by the Chemical Abstracts Service (Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors, ACS, Washington, DC,1974).
Reference to a personal communication should be followed by the year; for example, A.N. Other, personal communication,1989.
10. Formulae
Formulae should be typewritten, if possible. Leave ample space around the formulae.
Subscripts and superscripts should be clearly indicated.
Greek letters and other non-Latin or handwritten symbols should be explained in the margin where they are first used. Take special care to show the difference clearly between, for example, zero (0) and the letter O, and between one (1) and the letter l.
Give the meanings of all symbols immediately after the equation in which they are first used.
Please use ≊ for approximately equal, for asymptotically equal, and for proportional to.
Equations should be numbered sequentially on the right-hand side of the equation and in parentheses. In general, only equations explicitly referred to in the text need be numbered.
The use of fractional powers instead of root signs is recommended. Also, powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp.
11. Footnotes
Footnotes should only be used if absolutely essential; they should be indicated by superscript numbers and kept as short as possible. The numbering of footnotes should run consecutively through the entire article.
12. Proof
Copy editing of manuscripts is performed by Elsevier Science Ireland. The author is asked to check the proof for typographical errors, and to answer queries from the copy editor. Changes to the original manuscript are not allowed at this stage.
13. Correspondence
All correspondence with the Editors or Publisher should contain full reference to the paper concerned, i.e. the names of all the authors, the full title, the date of submission, the article number assigned by the Editor, and (if known) the article number assigned by the Publisher.
After the article has been accepted, send all further correspondence to Elsevier Science Ireland; not to the Editor. Address correspondence to The Issue Manager, J. Electron Spectrosc. Relat.

Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
15. Guide for the preparation of compuscripts
Nowadays, most authors of scientific articles use word processors to prepare their manuscripts. Elsevier encourages authors to submit the final versions of their papers as accepted for the Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena on diskette. To distinguish between traditional hardcopy (paper) manuscripts and those submitted on diskette, the latter will be referred to as compuscripts.
Articles prepared using any of the most popular word-processing packages are acceptable. Please note the following points.
(a) Please follow the general instructions for style and organization of a manuscript given above.
(b) The disk should be formatted to be MS-DOS (preferred) or Apple Macintosh compatible. Take care in the formatting of your disk (3.5" preferred) and ensure that only the relevant files are on it.
(c) The names of the text files, the word-processing package and version used, together with the article title and authors' names, should be indicated on the disk.
(d) Submit an original printout and two copies to one of the Editors (n.b. do not send your disk until your article has been accepted in final form). Because we cannot guarantee the usability of all formats, if the disk proves to be unusable, your article will be typeset using the hardcopy printout to avoid delay in publication.
(e )If no revision of your article is needed, send the original disk that contains only the files exactly matching your hardcopy to the Editor as soon as your article is accepted.
(f) If your paper requires revision, the original hardcopy will be returned to you by the Editor. The revisions must then be incorporated onto the disk. The revised disk, together with three revised hardcopies, should then be resubmitted to the Editor. Elsevier encourages authors to submit the final versions of their papers as accepted for the Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena on diskette. To distinguish between traditional hardcopy (paper) manuscripts and those submitted on diskette, the latter will be referred to as compuscripts. Welcome to the Elsevier online submission service. 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.
