About the journal
SCOPE AND TYPES OF CONTRIBUTION
Advances in Applied Ceramics provides international coverage of high quality peer-reviewed research on functional ceramics, engineering ceramics (including ceramic matrix composites and glass ceramics), and bioceramics. Although coverage is broad, the journal has a particular interest in the development of novel materials and the tailoring, through innovative processing, of structure across a range of scales to meet the requirements of specific applications.
There is particular interest in areas such as nanotechnology and biomaterials where materials science is progressing and evolving through interdisciplinary collaboration, although good work on 'traditional' ceramics is also welcomed.
Instructions to Authors
Types of contribution include:
- papers reporting research and practice, typically 3500 words in length plus figures and tables
- short communications (letters), providing a rapid publication route for preliminary announcements of the results of current work, or short accounts of new techniques, typically 1000-1500 words in length with, at most, four figures and/or tables
- critical assessments/reviews/overviews, should deal with their subject in a broad perspective, examining the current position critically and comprehensively; these are typically 4000-5000 words in length plus figures and tables, and well referenced
- Prospective authors of critical assessments or reviews should, in the first instance, submit an abstract for consideration and comment to: aac@materials.org.uk

- appendices (if any)
- acknowledgements
- references (see below)
- tables and list of figure captions. Each figure should have a caption that is intelligible without reference to the text; discussion of figures should appear in the text of the paper, not the caption. Where appropriate, scales or magnifications must be provided.
- use of SI units is mandatory. Journal style is to use the form ms-1, Wm-1K-1, not m/s, W/m.K
For an initial submission you must upload:
?a Word file containing the complete paper
?OR a Word file containing the text, references, tables and figure captions plus an individual file
of each figure, prepared to the specification laid out below.
You will be asked to input separately the title, abstract and keywords for the article and contact details for all authors. This information may be cut and pasted.
When submitting a revised article you must upload:
?a text file containing the revised text, references, tables and figure captions, prepared to the
specification described below. This file must not include graphics.
The preferred file format is Word (.doc) or rich text format (.rtf), but Word-compatible
word processor files (e.g. .wpd) and LaTeX2e files will also usually be acceptable
?a separate image file of each figure. Ensure that figures will be legible and comprehensible at
final size and are of sufficiently high resolution (see guidelines below).
Permitted file formats are TIFF (.tif), JPEG (.jpg) and EPS (.eps).
?a response to the referees' comments, as a Word or PDF file.
It is not necessary to upload, for a second time, files that were uploaded with the initial submission and have not been altered.
FORMATTING AND STYLE GUIDELINES
In preparing the manuscript as a Word or rtf file, there is no need to format the article to a specific template, but please include italic or bold type where necessary. Use hard returns at the end of paragraphs only; switch autohyphenation off; and do not justify text. Consistency in spacing, punctuation, and spelling is essential. The journal uses UK and 'ise' spellings, e.g. 'characterise' rather than 'characterize'.
Tables should be included within the manuscript file, not provided as separate files. Use Word Table mode, not tabs or spaces between columns. Do not provide tables as image files.
Equations should be produced using Word Equation Editor.
Use of SI units is mandatory. Journal style is to use the form Sm-1, Am-2, Wm-1K-1, not S/m, A/m2, W/m.K
Do not use the same symbol to represent more than one variable. Ensure that Greek symbols are clear and that similar characters, e.g. the letter 'el' and the number 'one' and the letter 'oh' and the number 'zero', are clearly distinguished and used consistently. A list of symbols should be provided if helpful to the reader.
Figures should be cited in a single sequence throughout the text as 'Fig.1', 'Fig.2', ?/P>
Equations and tables should also be numbered in sequence and referred to in the text as, for example, 'equation (1)' and 'Table 1' respectively.
Reference and notes should be numbered serially in a single sequence. Citations in the text should be as superior characters, thus,1,2,4-6 outside any punctuation marks. References cited for the first time in a table or figure caption should be numbered as if they appeared in the text where the table or figure is first mentioned. References should be set out in a complete list at the end of the paper, numbered according to their appearance in the text, not positioned as footnotes.
All references given must be complete, including all authors where known, and should be verified at source.
Journal abbreviations in references follow the ISO system, e.g.
M. M. Pereira, J. R. Jones and L. L. Hench: Adv. Appl. Ceram., 2005, 104, 1-12.
G. N. Babini and A. Tampieri: Br. Ceram. Trans., 2004, 103, 101-109.
If the abbreviation is not known, the journal title should be given in full. Where the pagination is not consecutive through the volume, it is essential to give the month or part number.
Book references should give full bibliographic details, e.g.
W. D. Kingery, H. K. Bowen and D. R. Uhlmann: 'Introduction to ceramics', 23-29; 2003, New York, Wiley.
J. V. Wood: in 'Future developments of metals and ceramics', (ed. J. A. Charles et al.), Vol.1, 235-239; 1992, London, Institute of Materials.
Standard texts should not be cited in their entirety: indicate the appropriate page or section.
Conference references must include the date, location, and organiser or publisher of the meeting, e.g.
M. H. Loretto: Proc. 2nd Int. Conf. on 'Research and development in net shape manufacturing', Birmingham, UK, March 1999, University of Birmingham, Paper 23.
Reports, theses, etc. should be presented in the form:
R. D. Niel: 'Interfacial structures in intermetallic/steel joints after high temperature service', Report 1131, AVS plc, Huntingdon, UK, 2000.
D. Sha: 'Characterisation of melt integrity in injection micromoulding', PhD thesis, Imperial College, London, UK, 2002.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Authors must provide high resolution digital files of all figures to the specification laid out below.
Conversion of colour figures
All illustrations must be suitable for reproduction in black and white. Colour is available in the printed journal only if the author is prepared to pay the additional cost of colour reproduction, an estimate of which is available on application.
Graphs with coloured lines and keys, contour maps, model outputs, etc. will not reproduce adequately if converted direct to greyscale. In particular, red and blue convert to similar grey levels and will not be distinguishable. Suitable labelling or reformatting must be used to ensure clarity. Colour photographs will in general convert to greyscale satisfactorily but optimisation for greyscale reproduction may improve the final result.
Figure size and legibility
Check that all labels are correct and free of spelling or numerical errors.
In general, figures will be reproduced to single column width (80mm) or page width (168mm).
Authors must ensure that the labelling on figures will be legible when reduced to final size. Lettering should be approximately 8pt in size (equivalent to 2mm in height for capital letters) at final width (i.e. figures that are wider before reproduction generally require larger type sizes). Keys must be legible when the figure is reduced to final size.
Ensure that curves on multiple plots are clear, in particular that any symbols used on graphs can be distinguished following reduction. Labelling of individual curves may be preferable to keys in these circumstances.
Axis labels should be of the typical form: Stress, MPa; Velocity (v), m s-1; or log(l, nm)
ILLUSTRATIONS
All illustrations must be suitable for reproduction in black and white. Coloured lines, contour maps, etc. often do not reproduce adequately and suitable labelling or reformatting should be used to ensure clarity. Colour reproduction of figures may be possible if authors are prepared to contribute to the additional costs.
Electronic figure files
Each figure must be supplied in digital form as a separate, clearly named file. Acceptable file formats are TIFF, JPEG and EPS. If supplying EPS files ensure that all fonts are attached. Figures embedded in Word documents are not suitable for reproduction.
Images should be saved at a resolution of at least 600 dpi at final size (dpi=dots or pixels per inch; 600dpi=240 dots per centimetre). Do not save at the default resolution (72 dpi).
Crop any unwanted white space from around the figure before sizing.
Halftones
Halftones (photographs) should be supplied as greyscale tiff or jpeg files and must have a resolution of at least 120pixels/cm (30pixels/inch) at final size: do not save at the default resolution (72dpi). Figures embedded in Word documents are not suitable for reproduction.
Line drawings
Line drawings or diagrams with shaded or toned areas should be submitted as tiff or eps files of at least 480pixels/cm resolution at final size. If supplying eps files ensure that all fonts are attached.
Colour figures
Colour figures, where the author has agreed to contribute towards the additional cost of reproduction, should be provided as CMYK tiff or jpeg files to resolutions of 120pixels/cm for photographs and 480pixels/inch for line art at final size.
Hard copy figures
Where electronic versions are not available, glossy prints or high quality printouts should be provided of any photographs. Montages of images should be supplied in a form suitable for scanning without reassembly. Line drawings should be provided as high quality printouts, large enough to allow reduction to 80mm (single column width) or 168mm (page width) for printing.
Lettering and legibility of figures
Authors must ensure that the labelling on figures will be legible when reduced to final size. Lettering should be 2mm in height (for capital letters) at final size (i.e. wider figures generally require larger type sizes), and keys must be legible when reduced. Ensure that curves on multiple plots are clear, in particular that any symbols used on graphs can be distinguished following reduction. Labelling of individual curves may be preferable in these circumstances
