How to prepare a manuscript

Authors are invited to submit articles to the Editorial Board in standard LaTeX format (LaTeX 2e) or in pdfLaTeX (preferrably!). Submissions to MRSej may consist of a single LaTeX file or a combination of several LaTeX files, like graphics files, bib files, auxiliary LaTeX files, etc. All submissions must utilize an MRSej template to specify bibliographic and other information (See submission rules).

Each LaTeX manuscript (including title, author(s), address(es), abstract, PACS, keywords, equations, tables, figures and references) and all additional files (including figures, bibtex file, etc) are prepared by the author(s) and submitted to the Editorial Board via Internet. Separate graphic files must be of appropriate typographic quality in any format supported by pdflatex, for example, either PDF, or EPS, or PNG, etc, see below for specific details). The authors should complete a Submission Template: title; author(s) name, address and Email address; abstract (not more than 200 words); PACS numbers; keywords (optional); support (optional), etc. The completed Submission Template with attachment containing the manuscript files must be sent to the Editorial Office by e-mail .

If the paper is accepted for publications in the MRSej, two cover pages of each article is added in final form by the MRSej Editorial Office The Editorial Office will add the MRSej volume and article numbers, dates received, revised and accepted, and the MRSej LogoType. The body of the article including the title; author(s) name, address and E-mail address; abstract (not more than 200 words); PACS numbers; keywords (optional); support (optional); main text with equations, tables, figures and references starts at the top of the third page. The paper will be sent to all subscribers by e-mail immediately after publication of the article.

LaTeX2e (and pdfLaTeX!) IS THE PREFERRED FORMAT, and its use will facilitate consideration of an article. Only standard TeX fonts should be used, namely Computer Modern, AMSFonts (optionally), and LaTeX symbol fonts. PostScript graphics in EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) or PDF or PNG) format may be included for standard LaTeX, or graphics in Portable Document Format (PDF) or portable network graphics (PNG) may be attached for pdfLaTeX using. The graphics should be sent as separate files. The macro package graphicx may be used for inclusion of EPS (PDF, PNG) graphics, but Psfig or EPSF are also allowable. Authors who intend to submit a manuscript in a different format should consult the Executive Editor ( ) before submission.
A style file (mrsej.cls) is available from the journal and its use during preparation of articles is strictly encouraged. The some things keep in mind.

• Authors must use the MRSej article class of LaTeX  for preparing manuscripts (mrsej.cls).
• Graphics (in appropriate quality, 300 dpi and better) should be included into manuscript. The graphic files in PDF, PNG, JPEG (JPG), or EPS format must be sent as separate files.
• There is the template file in the pdf format with Editor's remarks (template_mrs_Edited.pdf).
• There are two versions of the LaTeX template.
  • First of them is a variant using bibTeX to work with references. The complete set of this LaTeX template files can be downloaded with the zip archive file (mrsej_LaTeX_bibtex.zip)
  • Another LaTeX example (mrsej_LaTeX_bibliogr.zip) represents the pdfLaTeX version of manuscript with the reference list made with simple thebibliography environement (without bibtex package).
• Authors should note that the base font size is 11 point. Please avoid use of elements which depend on another base font size.
• All formulas, expressions, signs and symbols should be in math mode. For example, $T_1 = 210$\,mK. Use the math-roman-plain style (\mathrm{...}) in indices for abbreviations indices: For example, $T_{\mathrm{F}}$ is Fermi temperature, $\omega_{\mathrm{an}}$ is an anisotropy frequency, but $\omega_n$, if $n$ is the variable index!
• Also avoid any absolute moves such as `\vskip 10 pt' as the journal's pagination may differ from yours. As a general rule less formatting is better.
• Articles must include an Abstract in English of not more than 200 words.
• The references should be grouped at the end of the paper. We encourage citations with full list of authors (see example in the pdf format with Editor's remarks). Note for authors working in the simple thebibliography environement (without bibtex package): You should use the following format for references
  \bibitem{Weber2011} Weber~A., Pressacco~F., Guenther~S., Mancini~E., Oppeneer~P.M., Back~C.H. \textit{Phys. Rev.~B} {\bf 84}, 132412 (2011)
  after compilation this looks as
  14. Weber A., Pressacco F., Guenther S., Mancini E., Oppeneer P.M., Back C.H.  Phys. Rev. B 84, 132412 (2011)
  For simplicity, you can use our BibTeX style file which is also included in corresponding LaTeX example (mrsej_LaTeX_bibtex.zip).
• All macros must be included with the source file and they are on the responsibility of the author(s) (see Submission rules).
• Another unique feature of the electronic medium is that figures and diagrams can use color, sounds and animation, when that is appropriate, at no extra (monetary) cost. Articles may have Separated Appendixes in computer readable format, for instance color versions of the figures, extensive tabular material, raw experimental results, computer programs, computer files with animation and sounds. It may be more time consuming for readers to download and view Separated Appendixes, thereby allowing readers to download one or the other, as they wish.
