Manuscript preparation

1) In your articles, follow the terminology according to EN ISO 8044:2000 „Corrosion of metals and alloys: Basic terms and definitions “.

2) Write your manuscript in one of the common text editors (e.g. Word, OpenOffice). Please do not write in LaTex. Export the text in an acceptable format, such as DOC(X), RTF or TXT. Font size min. 11 points, no limitations as to the font, line spacing 1.5. (Articles are typeset anyway, no exact format is thus necessary. If you are interested, you can use a template placed in the DOWNLOADS.)

3) Tables may be a part of a text file. Figures and graphs must be submitted (if feasible) as independent files. Graphs (and tables) may be submitted as Excel files (any version). Provided that you use another programme, export the graph in a vector file, preferentially as an EPS file (PDF, WMF etc.). As to images and bitmap pictures, we prefer TIF files (uncompressed) with an optimum resolution of 150-300 DPI. Enclose captions to figures and tables submitted independently as “Appendix” in a text file.

4) Literature references in the text should be put in square brackets. References in the Literature part should comply with the ACS (American Chemical Society) standard. You can use the EndNote reference style placed in the DOWLOADS bookmark. Should the format of literature or references be incomplete, the article will be returned for revision!

6) The editing board prefers all contributions be sent by e-mail (see Contacts), with the article and other files (graphs, images) attached. Should the graphic files be more extensive, the contribution may be sent on a CD/ DVD or via an on-line public data storage.
