Submission of Papers.
Manuscripts are to be submitted via the online submission site accessed via http://ees.elsevier.com/cnf
All manuscripts originating in the Americas and Japan should be sent to Professor James F. Driscoll, those originating elsewhere should
be sent to Professor Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus.
Manuscripts are to be uploaded using a self-prepared pdf file which will be
used for the reviewing process. The pdf file should include all text, figures, and tables. If a manuscript is accepted, it will be necessary
to send the original source files. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by email and no paper correspondence
is necessary. If the manuscript cites any article that is "in press" or is "submitted for publication", then that cited article should
be sent as an additional pdf file (as 'additional material').
Please note: If you upload any additional files, please include
at the beginning of each file a title page which gives a short description of the content. This facilitates distinguishing between
your manuscript and the additional material.
Length. There is no restriction on the length of full-length articles; however,
succinct writing is encouraged and undue length may be a cause for rejection. A Brief Communication, Comment, or Reply should not exceed
1500 words, including tables and figures, each equivalent to 200 words.
LaTeX. Authors preparing manuscripts in LaTeX format
must strictly adhere to the Elstart template (for numbered references) provided at: http://www.elsevier.com/latex. Please
do not insert additional macros or graphics into the LaTeX file. All graphics should be saved individually in separate files.
Style.
Full-length articles should be organized as follows: Title Page, Abstract, Keywords, Nomenclature (if used), Introduction, Main Body,
Conclusions, Acknowledgments, References, Appendices, Tables, List of Captions for the Figures and the Figures. Brief Communications
have a similar organization but they do not have an abstract and they generally do not have a separate Conclusions section because their
scope is limited.
Format. Manuscripts must be in English and double-spaced on 210 x 297 mm (A4) or 215 x 280 mm (8.5 x 11
inch) white paper with ample margins. The title page, tables and list of captions for the figures should be typed as a separate page.
Title Page. The title page should include title, author(s), affiliation(s), the type of article (full-length, Brief Communication,
etc.), and the complete address of the corresponding author (address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address). If the title
is long, a shortened
running title having no more than 45 characters and spaces should be provided.
Abstract. A one-paragraph
abstract of 100-300 words should be submitted with full-length articles.
Nomenclature. If symbols are used extensively, a
nomenclature list arranged alphabetically, with subscript and superscript symbols listed separately, should be provided. Otherwise all
symbols should be identified when first used in the text.
Abbreviations. Abbreviations of chemical compounds or all acronyms
should be written in full at their first mention with the abbreviation in parentheses.
Units. Authors are expected to use
the SI system of units.
Uncertainties. A quantitative statement of experimental uncertainties should be provided in all manuscripts
reporting new experimental results. A systematic assessment of numerical errors should be provided in all manuscripts containing numerical
solutions.
Mathematics. Use fraction exponents instead of root signs. Use the solidus (/) for simple fractions.
Numbers
identifying mathematical expressions should be enclosed in parentheses and should be numbered consecutively beginning with "1" in the
text. Refer to equations in the text as "Eq. (1)," etc., or "Equation (1)," etc., at the beginning of a sentence.
Footnotes.
Footnotes to the text should be used only when absolutely essential; they should be indicated by superior arabic numerals, numbered consecutively
throughout the manuscript.
References. References should be indicated in the text by full-size numbers in brackets, e.g.,
[1], and should be numbered in the order cited. The numbered reference list at the end of the article should conform to the following
style:
Journals: J.C. Rolon, F. Aguerre, S. Candel, Combust. Flame 100 (3) (1995) 422-429.
Books:
P. Prasad, Propagation of a Curved Shock and Nonlinear Ray Theory, Longman Scientific & Technical, Harlow, U.K., 1993, p. 105.
Edited
Book: R.A. Yetter, F.L. Dryer, D.M Golden, in: M.Y. Hussaini, A. Kumar, F.G. Voigt (Eds.), Major Research Topics in Combustion,
Springer-Verlag, New York, 1992, p. 309.
Symposium Proceedings: All symposium papers associated with the International
Symposium on Combustion should be cited in the following way:
Conference Proceedings: A conference proceedings should be styled as a book, with publisher
or institution sponsoring publication and the year published as well as the year the conference was held.
Internal Reports:
A.S. Johnson, F.W. Adams, Use of Laser Diagnostics in Supersonic Flows, Report No. SAND87-8003, Sandia National Laboratories, 1987. Authors
must ensure that these references are publicly available.
Tables. Tables should be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals.
Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superior letters, beginning with "a".
Illustrations.All figures will be reduced
to single-column width (approx. 70 mm), unless authorized by the editor to be larger. Lettering and data points should be large enough
to be legible after the figure has been reduced to a width of 70 mm. Figures not meeting these requirements will be returned to the
author(s) for revision, which may delay the publication of the article.
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 these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. Essential color figures may
be included in print at the discretion of the Editors or at extra expense to authors. For color reproduction in print, you will receive
information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic
artwork, please see http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions
Please note: Because of technical complications that
can arise in 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 prints corresponding to all the color illustrations.
Each figure should have a caption and a list
of all these captions should be typed on a separate page, which precedes the figures at the end of the manuscript. The figure number
and author(s) name should be written in the margin or on the back of each figure. Figures should be numbered consecutively, beginning
with "1," in the text. Refer to figures in the text as "Fig. 1," etc., or "Figure 1," etc., at the beginning of a sentence. The preferred
formats for figures are TIFF or EPS files. Upon acceptance the figures should be submitted on a separate disk or CD-ROM from the
manuscript. For assistance on how to prepare artwork for electronic submission visit: http://www.elsevier.com/authors.
Multimedia Components. Elsevier is now able to accept electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific
research. Supplementary files supplied will be subject to peer review and if accepted will be published online alongside the electronic
version of your article on ScienceDirect http://www.sciencedirect.com. For further details on acceptable file types (preferred
and supported), please visit http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions
Copyright. Upon acceptance, the author(s)
will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to The Combustion Institute.
Reprints. The authors will receive 50
free reprints. Additional reprints can be ordered using a form sent to the corresponding author from the Publisher.
