2. Page Charges

No page charge is levied. One copy of CD-ROM will be supplied to the authors free of charge via internet.

3. Manuscript for Review

Manuscripts for review need only to be typed legibly; preferably, double-spaced on only one side of the page with wide margins. The title should be brief. An abstract of 100-200 words is needed for articles. Except for short communications, descriptive heading should be used to divide the paper into its component parts. Use the International System of Units (SI).

References to published literature should be quoted in the text citing authors and the year of publication or consecutive numbers. These are to be grouped together at the end of the paper. Journal references should be arranged as below. Titles for journal or book articles are helpful for readers, but may be omitted.

Abbreviations of journal titles should follow those used in the ASM Metals Abstracts. In every case, authors' initials, appropriate volume and page numbers should be included. The title of the cited journal reference is optional.

Illustrations and tables should be planned to fit a single page width (165mm or 6.5"). For the reviewing processes, these need not be of high quality, but submit glossy prints or equivalent electronic files with the final manuscript. Lines and letters should be legible.

4. Review
