Types of Contributions
The journal accepts the following types of contributions:
•Original high-quality Research Papers
•Short Communications •Review Articles •Book Reviews •Conference Reports •Calendar of Forthcoming
Events.
Submission of a manuscript implies that it has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part
of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved
by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that if accepted it will
not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher.
All
communications must indicate the name, e-mail, fax, telephone and full postal address of the author to whom proofs should be sent. This
author is responsible for informing all co-authors that the manuscript has been submitted to this journal.
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 re-review.

4. Preparation of Manuscripts
General: Authors should write in clear and concise English. A font size of 12 or
10 pt is required. The corresponding author should be identified (include a Fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must
be given for all co-authors. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. Number every sheet of paper.
The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since
we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the
Publisher is asked to return original material after use.
English Language: Manuscripts should be proof-read and have English language
errors corrected before submission as we may have to return papers due to poor language usage. Elsevier has negotiated with five different
language editing companies to provide their services to our authors at favourable rates. You will find a listing of these companies
which provide pre-submission language editing on http://authors.elsevier.com/LanguageEditing.html .
Paper length: Research papers should be no longer than 20 double line spaced manuscript pages including figures and tables. Short communications
should be no longer than 10 double line spaced manuscript pages including figures and tables.
Abstracts: A self contained
abstract of approximately 100 words, outlining in a single paragraph the aims, scope and conclusions of the paper.
Keywords: Up
to five keywords for indexing purposes should be included. The list can be found at the end of these instructions Keyword
Listing. Each keyword should be accompanied by the capital letter denoting the category from
which the keyword has been selected. For example: thermoacoustics (C); pulse tune (E),...
Text: Follow this order when typing
manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text (introduction, methods, results and discussion), Acknowledgements,
Appendix, References, Figure Captions, Tables and then illustrations. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding
author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with
superscript Arabic numbers. Trade names should have an initial capital letter.
Units: All measurements and data should be
given in SI units, or if SI units do not exist, in an internationally accepted unit. If you use any symbol or unit that may not be generally
recognized, please include an explanatory footnote for the first time it is used, to help referees, editors and readers. It is also helpful
to identify Greek symbols by name in the margin for the first time they appear.
Mathematical and technical settings: Detailed
mathematical discussion should be placed in an appendix. Equations and formulae should be typewritten wherever possible. Equations should
be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers in parentheses on the right hand side of the page. Special symbols should be identified
in the margin, and the meaning of all symbols should be explained in the text where they first occur. If several symbols are used, a
list of definitions (not necessarily for publication) will help the editor. Type or mark equations exactly as they should appear in print.
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript.
In the text refer to references by a number in square brackets on the line (e.g. Since Yamaguchi et al. [1]), and the full reference
should be given in a numerical list at the end of the paper. Journal titles are to be abbreviated where appropriate.
References
should be given in the following form:
[1] Yamaguchi S, Seo K, Morita M. A small-scale experiment demonstrating the current lead
resistance method of preventing a current imbalance. Cryogenics 1998;38(9):875-80. [2] Demachi K, Tsumori H, Miya K. Proceedings
of the 8th International Workshop Critical Current Superconductors, May 1996. p. 253-266. [3] Roark RJ, Young WC. Formulas for stress
and strain. 5th ed. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1975.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption
and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript
lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g.
in graphs).
5. Illustrations
For electronic submission, all figures must be in digital form (minimum 300dpi). Scale marks
should be printed in all micrographs. Please see http://authors.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork for full details.
Captions Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions on a separate sheet, 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.
6. Colour Illustrations (Print) Illustrations
can be printed in colour when they are judged by the Editor to be essential to the presentation. The publisher and author will each bear
part of the extra costs involved.
7. Colour Illustrations (Web) If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable
colour figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect
and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For further information
on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork
Please note: Because of technical
complications which can arise by converting colour figures to 'grey scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for colour in
print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the colour illustrations.
8. Proofs
Proofs
in PDF format will be sent to the corresponding author via e-mail and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections should
be restricted to typesetting errors.
9. Copyright
All authors must sign the "Transfer of Copyright" agreement before the
article can be published. This will be sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript is accepted for publication. Authors are
responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any material for which copyright already exists.
10.
Offprints
Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge. Further offprints can be ordered at a specially reduced rate
using the order form sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted. Orders for reprints will incur a 50% surcharge.
11. Author Enquiries
For enquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission), the status
of accepted manuscripts through our Online Tracking Feature, author Frequently Asked Questions and any other enquiries relating to Elsevier,
please consult http://authors.elsevier.com. For specific enquires on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an
article is accepted for publication.
Authors should select a maximum of five keywords. Each keyword should
be accompanied by the capital letter denoting the category from which the keyword has been selected. For example: thermoacoustics (C);
