JOURNAL OFMATERIALSPROCESSINGTECHNOLOGYFormerly: Journal of Mechanical Working TechnologyGuide for AuthorsThis guide should be read in conjunction with two other documents available on the homepage of the Journal of Materials Processing Technology : the "Editorial Policy", which sets out the criteria for paper acceptance in the Journal; and, the "Authors Good Practice Guide", which suggests a structure for writing a good research paper. PLEASE NOTE NEW REFERENCING STYLE FROM OCTOBER 2007 Guide for Authors - Content list: Short OverviewManuscript Preparation: General Structure Text Layout Corresponding Author Abstract Keywords Units References Illustrations Colour Costs and Queries Free online colour TablesOther: NotificationCopyrightPDF ProofsAuthor BenefitsEnquiriesShort OverviewSubmission of papers:Submission of papers: The entire submission and review process is now handled electronically, which shortens publication times. All papers should be submitted electronically through /protec. Prior to submitting your paper, please follow the instructions on manuscript preparation given below. Please note that you must have an e-mail address to use the online submission system. Authors submit their article online by simply registering, logging-in, and submitting. Detailed instructions on the use of the online submission system are available at /protec. Please read the "Hints" for information on how to register, and review the "Tutorial for Authors" for a run-through of the submission process. If you need any further help, please do not hesitate to contact our Author Support Department:authorsupport@. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the Author's homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail. Please note that papers submitted in hard copy can no longer be accepted.Submission Language: EnglishTypes of contributions: The journal publishes full length research papers and reviews only.Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Please consult a recent journal paper for style if possible.Original material: Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors 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.Editor's requirements:Prospective authors of review papers are advised to contact the Editor prior to commencement.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 providepre-submission language editing on/LanguageEditing.html .Detailed instructions on manuscript preparation and artwork instructions can be found below. The editor reserves the right to return manuscripts that do not conform to the instructions for manuscript preparation and artwork instruction, as well as paper that do not fit the scope of the journal, prior to refereeing.Back to the contents listManuscript Preparation:General:Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity.Back to contents listStructure:Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Figure Captions and then Tables. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article and do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise.Back to the contents listText Layout:Use double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. (Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively, use 12 or 10 pt font size and standard fonts.Back to the contents listSections:Sections should be given Arabic numbers with subsections numbered using the decimal system. Please avoid using more than three levels of numbering. For example: 3. Experimental 3.1 Sample preparation 3.1.1 Sample modification Roman numerals are not used. There must always be at least one paragraph of text between a heading and the next sub-heading.Corresponding author:Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code)are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Please consult a recent journal paper for style if possible.Back to the contents listAbstract:A self-contained abstract outlining in a single paragraph the aims, scope and conclusions of the paper must be supplied. See the journal's "Author's Good Practice Guide" for more suggestions about writing a good abstract.Back to the contents listKeywords:Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of six keywords (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible.Back to the contents listUnits:Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI. Back to the contents listReferences:PLEASE NOTE NEW REFERENCING STYLEThe intention of referencing by author surname is that cited authors should generally be used as the subject of a verb, and the citation should include a short statement of what the cited author claims, the evidence they provide in support of their claim, and an evaluation of the value of the claim. Articles which cite references in lists (such as Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995) or which append references at the ends of sentences without explaining what was in the cited work will generally be returned to authors.Text: All citations in the text should refer to:1. Single Author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;2. Two Author: both authors' names and the year of publication;3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication.Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Examples: as demonstrated (Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown ....List: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.∙For journal referencesFeugard, D.C., Abner, R., Wayland, D., 1994.

Authors must ensure that the quality of the illustrations are sufficient to appear in print. For more information about thequality of figures as well as acceptable formats, please consult: /locate/authorartwork.Please ensure figures are embedded in your text file as well as uploaded separatelyColour Costs and Queries:For colour illustrations, a colour printing fee is charged to the author per colour page. Furtherinformation concerning colour illustrations and costs is available from Author Support at authorsupport@elsevier.ie, and at /locate/authorartwork.Back to the contents listFREE ONLINE COLOURIf, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour and black/white figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that thesefigures 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.Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting colour figures to "grey scale"(for the black/white printed version of e-colour) please submit in addition usable black and whiteversions of all the colour illustrations. Also make sure that in your captions and text you do not refer to colour, as the images will be black and white in print, and references to colour will not make any sense to the reader of the print journal.'Usable' means the formats comply with ourinstructions.
