Protection of Metals
(Zashchita Metallov)
ISSN: 0033-1732
Protection of Metals (Zashchita Metallov) publishes materials covering all aspects of the theory and practice of corrosion and corrosion protection of metallic materials. Conceptual, methodological, terminological, theoretical, instrumental, engineering, economic, environmental, and all other possible approaches are welcomed. A traditional focus of the journal has been the general electrochemical theory of corrosion, corrosion inhibition, passivation and passivity breakdown, as well as the special electrochemistry of alloy corrosion, including selective, intercrystalline and corrosion-mechanical damage, atmospheric corrosion, etc.
Protection of Metals is abstracted and/or indexed in Cambridge Scientific Abstracts; Chemical Abstracts.
Instructions to Authors
Dear author,
In order to simplify the procedure of interaction between an author (coauthors) and the publisher we ask you to send agreements on transfer of copyright (in Russian or in English) simultaneously with the manuscript of the article to the editorial board of the journal. The agreement should be sent in duplicate.
This agreement is a contract of adhesion.
We draw your attention to the fact that the agreement enters into force under the condition of acceptance of an article for publication in English. If for any reason your article is refused by the editorial board of the journal, the agreement automatically loses force. The decision on acceptance of an article for publication is the exclusive right of the editorial board of the journal. Signing of the agreement by an author (coauthors) means that the author (coauthors) has acquainted himself (themselves) and agrees (agree) with the conditions of the agreement.
A copyright transfer agreement form can be downloaded at our site:
Model Author's Agreement Form
The completed and signed agreements may be presented in person or sent to the editorial board of the journal:
by post
by e-mail (PDF file) or fax; the original must be subsequently mailed by post.

GENERAL
1. The Journal is published in Russian and translated into English. It is international: papers from any country, written in Russian or English, can be accepted for publication. There is no page charge.
The articles go to Publisher as soon as they are ready for publication. Therefore, articles carefully prepared by their authors in full accordance with the “Rules for Authors,” which provoke no editors' objections and require no improvements, will be published earlier; those requiring correction and refinement, meet a delay in their publishing.
2. The Protection of Metals Journal accepts for publication individual, review, and discussion papers of theoretical, experimental, or applied character. The scope of the Journal is physical chemistry of materials and interfaces, related to corrosion, degradation, protection and control of metallic and nonmetallic materials and systems.
No principal limitation exists concerning systems, types of processes and damage, methods of protection, control and investigation, etc.
The Journal makes provision for special headings: Investigation Techniques Short Communications, Exchange in Experience, Discussion Club, Letters to Editor, Chronicles, and Reviews. Proceedings of the most topical conferences and meetings are also published.
3. The length of an article is determined by its information content and quality; usually, it varies from 3-4 to 12-15 typed pages, sometimes more. Review-articles prepared on the author’s initiative should beforehand be agreed upon with the Editor concerning their topic, scope, and length.
It is recommended to begin the article with concisely defining its objectives, concepts, and terms. Articles with proper logic, clearly written, and using good grammar (which is required for their reliable translation) are preferred.
Upon accepting an article, authors will receive proofs (by e-mail), which they are requested to correct and return to the Publisher before the prescribed deadline. When received as a hardcopy, the proofs should be mailed back, upon correcting, very promptly. The corrections should be understandable: they may be shown in the margins with blue pen. Further explanations, when necessary, may be onclosed as a separate sheet.
No new material may be inserted in the article at the time of proof-reading. Otherwise, expenses associated with introduction of corrections at this stage will be taken from royalties.
The Editor will send to the author five free reprints of his (her) article in Russian and three reprints in English (also by e-mail).
PROCESSING OF SUBMITTED ARTICLES
1. Only completed works are accepted for publication, therefore, the number of articles in a series decided by the Editorial Board in each case.
2. Submitted articles are sent to reviewing. Accepted articles are edited. Minor corrections (of stylish, terminological, or formal character) can be introduced in articles without notifying the authors.
3. When significant improvement is required, the articles can be sent to authors for revision according to the reviewer’s comments.
4. If the article has been returned to Author for its improvement or for the Author’s approval of alterations introduced by the Editor, the initial submission date is preserved, unless the article is returned to the Editorial Staff later than in three months.
5. Articles can be rejected for the following reasons:
(1) inconsistency with the journal scope;
(2) obvious inaccuracy or illegibility of the formulation, fulfillment, or interpretation of results;
(3) inconsistency with the present state of the art of experiment and theory;
(4) poor linguistic quality; and
(5) inconsistency with the present “Guide for Authors.”
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
1. Articles should be composed according to the general scheme (see Appendix 1). The article should be signed by all the authors. When work carried out in a scientific institution is submitted for publication, the full name and address of the institution should be given in the article. For the institutions outside Russia, original name and address in Latin letters should be submitted. A covering letter from the institution’s board is required in the case when it corresponds to the institution’s rules.
2. When Author has already published his/her works outside Russia, then, to avoid confusion in citing, the adopted English spelling of his name and initials should be given. Also, a list of special terms, names of materials, with their adopted translation into English, is required. For materials and instruments produced in Russia, their commercial analogs produced outside Russia should be given if possible. Additionally, own translation of title, name of directing institution (if applicable), and summary is desirable.
3. Articles of Russian authors directed by institutions should be approved by their experts and accompanied by permissions to publish.
4. A detailed mailing address, zip code, family name, first name, patronymic, contact phone number office and home), fax number, and e-mail should be attached to the manuscript.
5. Agreement on copyright transfer signed by all authors (see Appendix 2) for both Russian publications and their English translations should be attached to the manuscript.
6.The manuscript should be typed double-spaced on one side of a sheet of paper, with 4 cm-wide left margins, in a standard font no lower than 12–14 pts., without corrections and inserts. Only commonly adopted abbreviations are recommended, in particular, in tables. When inevitable, uncommon abbreviations should be properly introduced in text (see point 8) or explained in notes. Nonstandard notations in figures, on figure axes, or in tables should be explained in the legends (or in the Table notes). Articles returned to Author upon scientifically editing for his approval and introducing corrections should be sent back as a paper version (one copy) and electron version (floppy disc). No article should be sent to the Editor via e-mail unless this has been agreed upon by telephone (495 238 41 42). When necessary show “For the Protection of Metals Editorial Staff” (e-mal: ced@maik.ru).
References, tables, and figure captions should be typed on separate pages in the end of the article. Manuscript pages should be numbered throughout, including the text, list of references, tables, and figure captions.
No data may be duplicated in the text, tables, and illustrations.
7. An abstract for publication in The Referativnyi Zhurnal (VINITI) should be attached to the manuscript (in duplicate). Summary should precede the text. Both abstract and summary should give a concise (no more than 10 to 15 lines) outline of the work, with clear definition of its prime novelty. They should be very informative and understandable per se (even when isolated from the article) and should not duplicate the conclusions. It is recommended to standardize the article structure by using (if possible) subheadings: INTRODUCTION, THEORETICAL ANALYSIS, METHODS, EXPERIMENTAL, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION, REFERENCES.
Physical units and designations adopted by the International System of Units for a given scientific field should be used, as well as relative atomic masses of elements, in the 12C scale. Calculation works should cite the authors of software used (in footnotes). Chemical compounds should be named according to IUPAC terminology. Transliteration of geographic names should correspond to the latest atlas.
8. Chemical and mathematical formulas and symbols embedded in the text should be written with great care. To avoid confusion, clear distinction should be made in formulas between lower and capital letters when they are similar in shape and differ in their size only: V and v; U and u; W and w; K and k; S ans s; C and c; P and p). The lower letters should be labeled by two lines on top (for example, ); the capitals, at bottom (for example, ). Distinction should be made between capital O, lower case o, and zero (0). For this purpose, O and o should be labeled by two lines ( and ), whereas zero be left without underlining. For a “degree” sign, a lower-size font oshould be used. To distinguish between J and I, the letter I should be drawn as Roman unity (underlined twice). Greek characters should be underlined red; vectors, blue. All chemical symbols should be typed Roman and labeled by a “saddle” at bottom ( for example, ).
Subscripts and superscripts should be penciled up by arches at bottom and on top: , ). It is desirable to use Russian indices in Russian versions (or at least use the same system of indices throughout the manuscript); the indices should be explained as they first appear in text (in parentheses or directly in the text).
Even when printed by using PC, the manuscript should also be marked out as shown above.
Latin characters denoting symbols should be typeset Italic; chemical elements, Greek characters, and Russian indices should be typeset Roman.
A clear distinction should be made between hyphen and dash. Dash is typeset as double hyphen with (that is em dash), or without spaces (that is en dash used e.g., in denoting systems).
Mathematical signs, em dashes, and figures after a comma should be separated by spaces, e.g., (a+c); [2, 5]; Tables 2, 3; and Figs. 1a, 1b, respectively. A period, rather than comma, should be used in decimals.
Abbreviations should be avoided unless they are repeatedly used throughout the article. In the latter case, no expanded form should be used (except for special cases, e. g., close to chemical formulas) upon its introduction followed by the abbreviation typeset bold in parentheses. One-letter abbreviation is intolerable.
9. The references should be brought together at the end of the article. References in the text should be numbered [numerals in square brackets] in the order of their appearance. Citing two or more works under a single number or one and the same work under different numbers should be avoided. No gap in numbering the references is permitted. References of foreign articles (including those in Chinese and Japanese) should be typed in Latin letters. Examples of citing references are given in Appendix 3.
When preparing English version of the Journal, references to books translated into Russian (by “Mir,” Mysl,” and “Progress” Publishers) should be supplemented with references to the original publications.
10. Illustrations should be submitted separately from manuscript in duplicate. Legends to the illustrations should be collected in a separate sheet of paper. The author’s names, the title of article, and the number should be penciled on the back of the illustrations (both copies). The graphs quality should be suitable for their direct reproduction. Illustrations should be compact (but not too small) and prepared with the utmost clarity.
Noteworthy is that typesetters prefer the illustrations ~ 8 cm (one column) or 17 cm (full page) in breadth. Therefore, the graphs’ details and lettering should be sufficiently large to remain legible upon reducing the graph to one of the two above formats, that is, letters should finally appear 1.5 to 2 mm high; dots, 1 mm large; and lines spaced no less than 0.5 to 1 mm.
Author’s attention is drawn to the necessity of carefully checking the illustrations.
When not PC-designed, the illustrations may be drawn in black ink on white drawing or tracing paper: their size should be neither less than 5 × 6 cm nor exceed 18 × 24 cm.
Glossy photographs, sized no less than 9 × 12 cm, should be submitted in duplicate, undamaged. Xerox copies of the photographs cannot be accepted. Lettering should be done in one copy only; “top” and “bottom” marks, the authors' names, and the Figure number should be lightly penciled on the back of the photographs. No folding up, bending, or pasting the photographs to sheet of paper is tolerable. All tables and illustrations should be referred to in the text. They should be marked up in the margin at their first appearance in text.
11. Electronic version of the article should be submitted along with the paper version. The submission should be made on a high-density 3.5" floppy disk (IBM PC formatted, if possible) or (a large-volume-article) on a CD. The files should be checked and tested for viruses. The electronic and paper versions should be identical.
The electronic version should comprise separate files containing text of the article and illustrations (one graph, one file). Although the text is printed combined with the illustrations, the latter should be submitted as separate files.
The set of files should be supplemented with an inventory (probably, as an additional file) indicating the disk format, OS, name of the Text Editor, names of files, the Journal title, the article title, the author(s)' name(s) and initials.
To facilitate further file processing, the variety of fonts used should be minimized; the “Enter” key, be used only for starting new paragraphs; and no hyphen and aligning right be used in the text formatting. The text is better saved in Microsoft Word (any version); the version should be specified.
Either scanned or PC-created black-and-white illustrations are acceptable as the electronic version. Complicated (three-dimensional) graphs are acceptable only as files.
The numbering of the graphic files should provide the clear knowledge of the article, to which the graph belongs, and their order therein.
Graphic files should be prepared as follows:
The TIFF format is preferable for half-tone photos and line drawings, and JPEG, GIF, BMP, and PCX are also acceptable; EPS is preferable for the vector graphics. When using the TIFF format, the 600 dpi resolution is required for the line drawings; no less than 200 dpi, for scanned half-tone illustrations and photos.
