Editor's Requirements:
Review Process: All contributions are read by two or more referees to ensure both accuracy and
relevance, and revisions to the script may thus be required. On acceptance, contributions are subject
to editorial amendment to suit house style. When a manuscript is returned for revision prior to final
acceptance, the revised version must be submitted as soon as possible after the author's receipt
of the referees' reports. Revised manuscripts returned after four months will be considered as new
submissions subject to full review.
PREPARATION
Use of wordprocessing software
It is important that the file be saved in the native format of the wordprocessor used. The text should
be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes
will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the wordprocessor's
options to justify text or to hyphenate words. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts,
superscripts etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each
individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns.
The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts
(see also the Guide to Publishing with Elsevier: http://www.elsevier.com/guidepublication). Note that
source files of figures, tables and text graphics will be required whether or not you embed your figures
in the text. See also the section on Electronic artwork.
To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-check'
functions of your wordprocessor.
Article structure
Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text
(Introduction, Method, Results and Discussions), Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Figure
Captions and then Tables.
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article and do not include them on
the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise.
Essential title page information
• Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid
abbreviations and formulae where possible.
• Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double
name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work
was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately
after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of
each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
• Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing
and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country
and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal
address. Contact details must be kept up to date by the corresponding author.
• Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article
was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated
as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be
retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the
research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from
the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if
essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should
be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Graphical abstract
A Graphical abstract is optional and should summarize the contents of the article in a concise, pictorial
form designed to capture the attention of a wide readership online. Authors must provide images
that clearly represent the work described in the article. Graphical abstracts should be submitted as aseparate file in the online submission system. Image size: Please provide an image with a minimum
of 531 × 1328 pixels (h × w) or proportionally more. The image should be readable at a size of 5 ×
13 cm using a regular screen resolution of 96 dpi. Preferred file types: TIFF, EPS, PDF or MS Office
files. See http://www.elsevier.com/graphicalabstracts for examples.
Authors can make use of Elsevier's free Graphical abstract check to ensure the best display of the
research in accordance with our technical requirements. 24-hour Graphical abstract check
Highlights
Highlights are mandatory for this journal. They consist of a short collection of bullet points that convey
the core findings of the article and should be submitted in a separate file in the online submission
system. Please use 'Highlights' in the file name and include 3 to 5 bullet points (maximum 85
characters, including spaces, per bullet point). See http://www.elsevier.com/highlights for examples.
Keywords for Materials & Design
keyw Authors should select a maximum of three keywords. Each Keyword should be accompanied
by the capital letter denoting the category from which the keyword has been selected. The list of
up to three keywords should appear on the title page of each paper submitted for consideration,
following the abstract.

Nomenclature and units
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI).
If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI. You are urged to consult IUPAC:
Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry: http://www.iupac.org/ for further information.
Math formulae
Present simple formulae in the line of normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of
a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in
italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations
that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).
Artwork
Electronic artwork
General points
• Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
• Save text in illustrations as 'graphics' or enclose the font.
• Only use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Times, Symbol.
• Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
• Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files.
• Provide captions to illustrations separately.
• Produce images near to the desired size of the printed version.
• Submit each figure as a separate file.
A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our website:
http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions
You are urged to visit this site; some excerpts from the detailed information are given here.
Formats
Regardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalised, please 'save as' or
convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings,
halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):
EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as 'graphics'.
TIFF: Color or grayscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi.
TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.
If your electronic artwork is created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) then
please supply 'as is'.
Please do not:
• Supply files that are optimised for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); the resolution is too low;
• Supply files that are too low in resolution;
• Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.
Color artwork
Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF, EPS or MS Office files) and with
the correct resolution. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures then
Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g.,
ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in color
in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding
the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. Please indicate your preference
for color: in print or on the Web only. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork,
please see http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions.
Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting color figures to 'gray
scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for color in print) please submit in addition usable
black and white versions of all the color illustrations.
Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A
caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep
text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.Tables
Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables
below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be
sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results
described elsewhere in the article.
References
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice
versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal
communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these
references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the
journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or
'Personal communication' Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted
for publication.
Reference management software
This journal has standard templates available in key reference management
packages EndNote (http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp) and Reference Manager
(http://refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp). Using plug-ins to wordprocessing packages, authors only
need to select the appropriate journal template when preparing their article and the list of references
and citations to these will be formatted according to the journal style which is described below.
Reference style
Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors
can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given.
List: Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear
in the text.
Examples:
Reference to a journal publication:
[1] Van der Geer J, Hanraads JAJ, Lupton RA. The art of writing a scientific article. J Sci Commun
2010;163:51–9.
Reference to a book:

RZ, editors. Introduction to the electronic age, New York: E-Publishing Inc; 2009, p. 281–304.
Note shortened form for last page number. e.g., 51–9, and that for more than 6 authors the first
6 should be listed followed by 'et al.' For further details you are referred to 'Uniform Requirements
for Manuscripts submitted to Biomedical Journals' (J Am Med Assoc 1997;277:927–34) (see also
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html).
