INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING JVST MANUSCRIPTS

All manuscripts are refereed to the same standards as regular JVST submissions.

It is IMPORTANT that the submitted manuscript has the Program (Paper) Number entered in the top-right corner of the title page
    .
  1. Papers can contain up to a nominal total of 20-25 pages of double-spaced text, tables, figures, references, abstract, etc. If the submitted paper is longer than 25 pages, then the final decision on acceptance for publication will be made by the JVST editors, and will be based on the recommendations of the reviewers.
  2. Each figure and table should be on a separate page.
  3. Table and figure captions should be listed on a page, NOT under the table or figure, only the number need appear with the figure/table.
  4. Multi-component figures may take up more than one page if each component cannot be reduced to 1/6 of a JVST page.
  5. The text should be DOUBLE-SPACED (the font recommended by the Editor-in-Chief is Times New Roman 12) and pages should have one inch margins on all sides.
Authors may include their internet e-mail addresses along with all other footnotes in the following format: Electronic mail: smith@foobar.com

Please provide 2 suggested referees and 2 alternate referees (total of 4, please suggest at least 2 US referees) along with each referee’s address, phone, fax and email.

***WE WILL NEED AT LEAST 3 MATERIAL TERMS, IF APPLICABLE, FOR YOUR MANUSCRIPT. THIS IS NEEDED FOR THE JVST MATERIALS INDEX. THESE ARE TERMS INDICATING WHAT MATERIALS ARE DISCUSSED IN THE ARTICLE (MATERIAL REFERS TO CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE.)

NOTE: Your FIGURES CAN APPEAR ONLINE IN COLOR FOR FREE. To take advantage of this you will need to sendAIP (the compositor, directly) the electronic file/s of your figures within 24 hours of receiving your Acceptance email from JVST. Again, you do not need to send anything until you receive notice the paper is accepted and has a 9 digit AIP number. Sending color figures in the pdf file used for the review process does not allow for color reproduction (either online or print) at the publishing stage. Only sending AIP the files directly will facilitate this. A "Publisher's Announcements" email with more details will be sent to you..

PLEASE BRING A SOFT COPY (PDF FILE) OF THE MANUSCRIPT WITH YOU TO THE CONFERENCE (either upload it to the editor’s computer or submit a CD). The pdf file should be named in the format "NAMBE2009_(paper #).pdf".
