Instructions to Authors
Please do not address correspondence about proof, reprints, return of artwork, publication charges, etc., to the Laser Institute of America. To do so simply delays the appropriate action and response.
General information regarding publication charges, copyrights, and similar material may be found at the beginning of each issue.
For general format and style, consult recent issues of the journal and the 1990 Fourth Edition of the AIP Style Manual, published by the Ameri-can Institute of Physics. For ordering information, visit www.aip.org
Two types of manuscripts are acceptable: Full-Length and Communications. The latter are short contributions not exceeding in length three printed pages including allowances for illustrations, references, and tables. Abstracts are required for manuscripts of both types.
The Manuscript, including the abstract, references, and captions, should be neatly typed in English, double-spaced, on one side of good letter-size 21.6x28-cm (8-1/2x11-in.) white paper with ample margins. It should be carefully proofread by the author. The manuscript must be in good scientific American English; this is the authors?responsibility. Unclear or excessive handwritten insertions are not acceptable. Number all pages in single sequence beginning with the title and abstract page. Authors should submit three clear copies of the manuscript including original illustrations, and if necessary for the reviewer抯 use, a second set of equal quality.
The Title should be concise but informative enough to facilitate information retrieval. The Abstract should be self-contained (contain no footnotes). It should be adequate as an index (giving all subjects, major and minor, about which new information is given), and as a summary (giving the conclusions and all results of general interest in the article). It should be about 5% of the length of the article, but less than 500 words for full-length articles and correspondingly shorter for Communications. It must appear on its own sheets separate from the text.
"Part I," or simply "I," will not be included as part of the title of an article unless Part II has already been submitted for publication in this Journal. Part III, IV,..., etc., are likewise unacceptable unless the prior parts have already been accepted or have appeared in this Journal, and are properly identified in the references.
Author抯 names should preferably be written in a standard form for all publications to facilitate indexing and avoid ambiguities.
Equations
Equations should be neatly typed or written in ink, punctuated and aligned to bring out their structure, and numbered on the right. Mathematical operation signs indicating continuity of the expressions should be placed at the left of the second and succeeding lines. Use ?rather than a centered dot, except for scalar products of vectors. The solidus (/) should be used instead of built-up fractions in running text, and in display wherever clarity would not be jeopardized. Use "exp" for complicated exponents.
Notation
Notation must be legible, clear, compact, and consistent with standard usage. All unusual or handwritten symbols whose identity may not be obvious must be identified in the margin the first time they appear, and at all subsequent times when confusion might arise. Superscripts are normally set directly over subscripts; authors should note where readability or the meaning requires a special order. If there is any possibility of confusion, indicate superscripts by a black penciled V underneath the superscript and subscripts by a black penciled  over the subscript.
References and footnotes
References and footnotes are treated alike. They must be numbered consecutively in order of first appearance in the text and should be given in a separate double-spaced list at the end of the text material. Reference should be made to the full list of authors rather than to first author followed by an abbreviation such as et al. References within tables should be designated by lowercase Roman letter superscripts and given at the end of the table. For the proper form, see the AIP Style Manual and recent issues of this journal. The number of a grant or contract is meaningless to our readers and should be omitted unless its inclusion is required by the agency that supports the research.
Separate Tables
Separate Tables (with Roman numerals in the order of their appearance) should be used for all but the simplest tabular material; they should have captions that make the tables intelligible without references to the text. The structure should be clear, with simple column headings giving all units. Unaltered computer output and notation are generally unacceptable. Long tables should, if possible, be submitted in a form ready for direct photo-reproduction.
Illustrations:
Illustrations published in the journal are either scanned by AIP using a digital scanner or received electronically from the author, and integrated with the text of the article, creating completely electronic pages. To receive optimal quality, we strongly encourage you to send electronic graphics files to AIP, rather than laser output. (Note: If you are submitting electronic graphics files, you are still required to send PUBLICATION QUALITY hard-copies of the figures to the Editorial Office. Adherence to electronic submission instructions is crucial. If your electronic files are received after AIP has already processed the hard-copy illustrations, the electronic files will not be used.) Please adhere to the following guidelines when preparing your illustrations for submission:
Sizing Illustrations
(Electronic Graphics Files and Hard-copy)
-
Prepare illustrations in the final published size, not oversized or undersized. Size your illustrations according to your journal抯 specifications. Submit each illustration at the final size in which it will appear in the journal. The standard is 8.5-cm maximum width (3-3/8" or 20.5 picas) for one column. This is especially important for screened or shaded illustrations; reduction of screened/shaded originals during the digitizing process introduces an unacceptable moir?pattern.
-
Ensure a minimum of 8-point type size (2.8 mm high; 1/8" high) and 1-point line width within illustrations. Ensure that line weights will be 0.5 points or greater in the final published size. Line weights below 0.5 points will reproduce poorly. Avoid inconsistencies in lettering within individual figures, and from one figure to the next. Lettering and symbols cannot be handwritten. Avoid small open symbols that tend to fill in if any reduction is necessary.
Preparation of Hard-copy: Illustrations for Scanning
-
Number figures in the order in which they appear in text. Label illustrations with their number, the name of the first author, and the journal, on the front of the figure well outside the image area.
-
Place only one figure per page (including all parts). Place all parts of the same figure on one sheet of white bond paper, spaced 1/4 in. apart, using a glue stick or wax on the back of the illustration and leaving a 2-in. bottom margin. Label all figure parts with (a), (b), etc. Make sure each figure is straight on the page. Photocopies of artwork are not acceptable.
-
Do not use correction fluid or tape on illustrations. The scanner is extremely sensitive and reproduces all flaws (e.g., correction fluid, tape, smudges, dust). Do not write on the back of the figure because it will be picked up by the scanner.
-
Authors?laser-generated graphics are acceptable only if the lettering and lines are dark enough, and thick enough, to reproduce clearly, especially if reduction is required. Maximum black and white contrast is necessary. Choose a laser printer with the highest dot-per-inch (dpi) available (i.e., the highest resolution possible). Remember that fine lines in laser-generated graphics tend to disappear upon reduction, even if the oversized original looks acceptable.
-
Submit continuous-tone photographs in final published size on white glossy or matte paper. Avoid glossy paper stock that is off-white, ivory, or colored because contrast within the illustration will be lost in reproduction. Print the photograph with more contrast than is desired in the final printed journal page. Avoid dull, textured paper stock, which will cause illustrations to lose contrast and detail when reproduced.
Preparation of Electronic Graphics Files:
-
We recommend that all halftone art (screened art), shaded figures, and combinations (line art + halftone) be submitted electronically. Computer-generated illustrations output to desktop laser printers produce a screen. These figures are most problematic in the scanning process, because scanning screened output produces an unacceptable moir?B> pattern.
-
Acceptable formats: Graphics must be submitted as PostScript, EPS (using either Arial or Times Roman fonts), or TIFF (lzw compressed). Do not send application files, e.g., Corel Draw, etc.
-
Settings: Set the graphic for 600 dpi resolution for line art, 264 dpi for halftones (noncompressed), and 600 dpi for combinations (line art + halftone). Save the files to grayscale (B/W), not color.
-
Make sure there is only ONE figure per file. Each figure file should include all parts of the figure. For example, if Figure 1 contains three parts (a, b, c), then all of the parts should be combined in a single file for Figure 1.
-
You are still required to send hard-copies of all figures to the Editorial Office, along with a hard-copy of the manuscript.
-
Do not FTP the graphics files to the Editorial Office or AIP unless otherwise instructed to do so. Full instructions will be sent to you twice: Once on a hard-copy form after initial submission of your article, and once via e-mail after your article has been accepted for publication.
Detailed instructions for submitting electronic graphics to AIP and a glossary of terms may be found on the AIP Physics Information Netsite at www.aip.org/epub/submitgraph.html
Comp-u-scripts:
AIP is accepting author-prepared computer files for use in production. If you have used REVTeX, LaTeX, Microsoft Word or WordPerfect to compose your manuscript, AIP may be able to use your file to produce author proofs. If you are interested in participating in the program, please indicate so in the cover letter that accompanies your original submission. Please also include an electronic mail address if available. Do not send a disk with your original submission. Wait for further instructions from the editorial office on when to send the disk (or, if the editorial office accepts electronic submissions, when to e-mail the file). Do not send the file directly to AIP Production unless otherwise requested.
AIP uses translation software to convert REVTeX, LaTeX, MS Word or WordPerfect files into Xyvision composition files for production. For this project to be of benefit to both the author and the production staff, it is imperative that the guidelines as documented in either the REVTeX toolbox or the MS WordPerfect toolbox be followed precisely. Each file will be evaluated for appropriateness; authors will receive notice with their galley proofs as to whether or not their file was used. Authors will also receive a feedback form with their proofs, detailing any problems AIP encountered in processing the file.
The REVTeX toolbox is available via anonymous FTP on the Internet from ftp.aip.org in the directory /pub/revtex. The MS Word/WordPerfect toolkit is also available via anonymous FTP from ftp.aip.org. Move to the directory /ems, then follow the instructions given on the screen. If electronic retrieval is not possible, you may receive the toolbox or toolkit on disk by contacting toolkits@aip.org. The REVTeX toolbox and the Word/WP toolkit, as well as general information regarding the compuscript program, are accessible via the AIP Physics Information Netsite (www.aip.org/epub/compuscripts.info.html).
Use this checklist to avoid the most common mechanical errors in submitted manuscripts.
1. The manuscript must be double-spaced throughout.
2. Number all pages in sequence.
3. Type title and abstract on a separate first page.
4. Type list of references (including footnotes), list of figure captions, and tables on pages separate from each other and from the main text.
5. Type references in the style used by AIP journals.
6. Provide marginal notes to clarify symbols and expressions for the compositor.
7. Submit (a) three clear copies with clear copies of figures and (b) the original figures.
8. The original figures must be clear line drawings or high-contrast, glossy prints identified by figure number and author抯 name.
9. If you wish to submit an electronic file, indicate so in the cover letter that accompanies your original submission. Wait for further instructions from the Editorial Office before sending your disk or file.
