Submission contributions
In order to process manuscripts more efficiently, the Synthetic Metals Journal Office strongly recommends that manuscripts be submitted using the Elsevier Editorial System.

NOTE: As of January 1st, 2009, ALL manuscripts sent to the Synthetic Metals Journal Office needs to be submitted through via the Elsevier Editorial System.

Currently, this is an optional method for processing. However, using the online system will eventually become required for submitting manuscripts to Synthetic Metals.

If you would like to use the online system, please register and submit your manuscript on the following website: http://ees.elsevier.com/synmet/

If you would like assistance using the Elsevier Editorial System, please visit this webpage: http://epsupport.elsevier.com/al/12/1/article.aspx?aid=1520&bt=4

The website relatively easy to use and has helpful features for authors. Once your manuscript has been assigned to an Editor, you will receive a confirmation email from the system.
