Please submit your manuscript in either Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word format. PDF is the preferred format. Looking for a free PDF writer? Try pdf995, or cutepdf for Windows, or use a Macintosh to print directly to a pdf file.

If any information has changed since submitting your abstract (authors, contacts, subject area) please make these changes on the paper you submit here, and enter the new information into the submission form.

Note that there is no provision for accepting paper manuscripts. Any late manuscripts must be sent directly to the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology where the authors will have to follow the JVST submission procedures. If accepted, late papers will be published in a later version of the journal.

Instructions for preparing JVST manuscripts

Please refer to the AVS page for more details.

Papers will be reviewed according to criteria set by the JVST and must meet JVST standards for both technical content and written English. Proceedings papers will be accepted only on the understanding that the authors agree to honor the normal page charges of the JVST.

 

 

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@foo.bar.com

 

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 send AIP (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 SUBMIT A PDF FILE OF THE PAPER TO EIPBN.ORG OR BRING THE PAPER WITH YOU TO THE CONFERENCE.

If you wish to submit your paper at the conference, our staff can assist you in converting it to PDF format. Please put the file on a USB flash memory stick, or on a CD.

 

For a complete description of publication standards, please refer to the AVS-JVST web page.

 

Thank you very much for submitting a paper to EIPBN.
