About the journal
Now accepted into Science Citation Index
Published in association with The Society of Light and Lighting, which is part of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, Lighting Research & Technology is the leading international peer reviewed journal that publishes the highest quality original research on the subject of light and lighting.
Lighting Research & Technology publishes papers by authors from around the world on all aspects of the subject of light and lighting. These range from the human response to light to all aspects of the science of light generation, light control and measurement. It also covers all aspects of lighting design including equipment for both interior and exterior environments, as well as daylighting, energy efficiency and sustainability.
The journal is published quarterly with around 20 papers published each year. All papers are peer reviewed and usually include a discussion contribution with a reply from the author.
The journal has been published continuously for almost forty years. It is recommended by the CIE, International Commission on Illumination, and has recently been accepted for inclusion into the ISI Science Certification Index Expanded. Both of these awards indicate the quality and authority of the journal.
The Editorial Board is keen to consider works dealing with research studies, in-depth reviews, case-studies describing innovative design and discussion papers concerned with all aspects of light and lighting and its related topics.
The overall aim is to help improve our knowledge of the subject and hence the quality of the lit environment.
LR&T is essential reading for everyone involved with the subject of light and lighting from the new student to the experienced practitioner, from the university academic to the industry technologist as well as specialist designers.
If you are not already a subscriber and are involved with some aspect of the subject and its associated elements then you should subscribe now.

Notes for Authors
Content
Lighting Research and Technology is the leading international peer-reviewed journal that publishes material on the subject of light and lighting. It has recently been included in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and endorsed by the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE). To be acceptable for publication the material must be original, a useful extension of knowledge, well-presented and free from commercial bias. Authors are advised to consult the Technical Editor if they have any doubts about the suitability of their material for Lighting Research and Technology.
Contributions usually take one of the following forms:
" Research papers describing original theoretical, laboratory, or field investigations.
" Review papers on a particular aspect of light and lighting or a related topic.
" Case study papers describing new and innovative lighting installations and giving details of the design concepts and performance data.
" Discussion papers, which explore a subject from a theoretical viewpoint.
" Correspondence about previously published papers
Papers should not normally be more than 5000 words long and with not more than ten illustrations - at the Technical Editor's discretion. Correspondence should not normally be more than 1000 words long.
For papers, acceptance is conditional on authors addressing the referees' comments transmitted by the Technical Editor. Discussion may be solicited from outside commentators for publication with submissions. Authors will normally be given the opportunity to reply.
All material submitted for publication is assumed to be exclusively for Lighting Research and Technology, and not to have been submitted for publication elsewhere. All authors must assign copyright to the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (by completing the copyright assignment form). The council of the Institution may release or surrender its rights in this respect. Papers presented at conferences where the material only appears in the conference proceedings will be considered.
The opinions expressed by the authors and contributors to discussions are those of the individuals concerned and are not necessarily those of the Institution or the Society of Light and Lighting.
Priority and time of publication are decided by the Technical Editor, who has the customary right to edit material accepted for publication if necessary.
INITIAL SUBMISSION
Electronic submission of the paper attached to an e-mail message sent to Dr. Peter Boyce (prb.lrt@btinternet.com) is the accepted format for submission. The submission should be in English, in Microsoft Word or PDF format, and include all illustrations, graphs and tables. Peer review is managed by Dr. Boyce on behalf of SLL and CIBSE. The production is handled by SAGE Publications.
Paper presentation
The layout of the paper should conform to the following general rules:
40 mm margins should be left at the top, sides and foot of the page.
Text should be presented in single column format
Pages should be numbered in order
1.5 line spacing should be used
12 point font size should be used
Roman, bold and italic type can be used, but only one typeface.
The text should be ranged left and unjustified, with hyphenation cancelled.
Indents, underlining and tabs should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
Headings and paragraphs should be separated by two lines.
There should be only one space between words and only one space after any punctuation.
The following items must be provided in the order given:
1) Title Page
Title
The title should indicate the content of the paper precisely, be as short as possible (normally not more than 10 words) and worded so as to distinguish the paper from other known publications. The first word and other keywords should be suitable for indexing. A short title (for the running head) of no more than 50 characters should also be given.
Authors and affiliations
Authors should include their surname and initials, their qualifications, and the establishment where the work was carried out (if an author has left this establishment his or her present address should be given as a footnote).
For papers with several authors, a 'corresponding author', to whom proofs will be sent, should be named. The postal address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the corresponding author must be included.
Abstract
Please provide an abstract of not more than 125 words. This should give a brief outline of the content of the paper and draw attention to new information, principal conclusions and recommendations. The abstract is not part of the paper and should be intelligible independently without reference to the text.
2) Text
This should be written in simple and concise terms and give sufficient introduction to the subject to be understood readily without undue reference to other publications. Conclusions and recommendations should be drawn together at the end of the text; the conclusions should not merely summarize the body of the paper but should consider its relevance for lighting practice and any limitations on generalization.
Subheadings should be typed on separate lines and numbered 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 to indicate their progressive order of importance. The use of more than three levels of heading should be avoided.
Mathematical expressions should be inserted very clearly; if confusion is possible the symbol should be identified in the margin. Where many symbols are used, a list of symbols should be given at the start of the paper together with the units of measurement used. If such a list is given there is no need to define the symbols elsewhere in the text.
Abbreviations should be spelled out when first used in the text.
Full stops should be used in lower case abbreviations (e.g., i.e.,) but not for capitals (SAS, ANOVA). Spelling should follow the Oxford Dictionary.
Numbers below 10 should be written out in the text unless used in conjunction with units (e.g., three apples, 4 kg).
Use spaces (not commas) within numbers (e.g., 10 000, 0.125 275).
Full points (not commas) should be used for decimals. For numbers less than one, a nought should be inserted before the decimal point. (e.g., 0.125 275).
Authors should use standard terms and symbols, which should comply wherever possible with the relevant UK, European or International standards.
SI units must be used with the addition of certain specialized units such as the apostilb. It should be noted that centimeters are not SI units; metres (m) or millimetres (mm) should be used instead.
3) References
These should be in Vancouver style. References should be cited consecutively in the text using superscript numbers to refer to the reference list. All authors should be listed and journal or book titles written in full. First and last page numbers, volume number and year of publication should also be given for each reference, with issue numbers for periodicals which number the pages of each issue from 1. For conference reports etc, information should be given to enable the readers to identify the reference easily. For information taken from a website, the date the information was accessed and the address of the website from which it was obtained must be given. Material not freely available (e.g., private communications, unpublished and internal reports etc) should not be included in the references.

4) Appendices
Appendices should contain essential extended explanation of statements in the text or detailed mathematical derivation of formulae and should appear after the references.
5) Acknowledgements
Authors should acknowledge any financial or practical support given where appropriate.
6) Tables
Tables should be supplied at the end of the article and numbered in sequence. Each table should have a title stating concisely the nature of information given. Units should be in brackets at the head of columns. The same information should not be included in both tables and figures. It is preferable that tables are formatted without vertical lines as these cannot be printed.
7) Figure captions
These should be provided together on a separate sheet and included in the main text file.
8) Figures
Figures should be placed at the end of the paper and must not be embedded within the text. Ideally figures should be saved separately as either Jpeg. or TIF. files. They should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are referred to in the text. Qualifications (a), (b) etc should only be used when the separate illustrations can be grouped together with one caption.
Lighting Research and Technology is available in both electronic and paper forms. For the electronic form, colour can be used but the paper form is printed in black and white so all figures must be easily readable and understandable in black and white alone. Colour printing is available but the cost of colour printing must be met by the author.
The use of different degrees of shading to show different levels of a measurement should be avoided as the shading densities do not reproduce well. It is better to use labeled contour lines.
Symbols in figures should follow ISO 3461, where relevant.
FINAL SUBMISSION
The final version of an accepted paper should be sent as a file or files attached to an e-mail to the Technical Editor. Microsoft Word is the preferred word processor although LaTeX, RTF or ASCII files can also be accepted. Whatever the program, formatting should be kept to a minimum.
Please provide figures in either TIFF or jpeg format, in 300 dpi resolution. Each illustration should be saved as a separate file. Do not embed graphics files in Word or Excel documents.
Electronic files of all photographs are required.
Further notes on the preparation of electronic figures are available from SAGE Publications.
Permissions
It is the responsibility of the author(s) to obtain written consent from the original publisher and author(s) to use any material published previously elsewhere. Please forward all correspondence to the Technical Editor with your manuscript.
Proofreading and E-prints
The corresponding author will receive proofs, which should be corrected and returned as soon as possible. After publication, access to 25 free e-prints will be provided for all authors. The corresponding author will also be sent copies of the bound issue in which the paper appeared, one copy for each author up to a maximum of five.
