This result was later contradicted by Becker andSeligman [5]. This effect has been widely studied [1-3, 7].Styling of References1. A journal reference should be readily availableon subscription and included in most librarycollections. Use journal abbreviations as given inthe current listing of Chemical Abstracts Serviceat this link. Article titles are not to be included.List all authors’ names—do not use et al.Form: Author, italicized and abbreviated journaltitle, volume number, opening page number(year). Example: R.M. Horn and Robert O.Ritchie, Metall. Trans. A, 9A, 1039 (1978).2. References to books should include theitalicized book title, and pages within the book:Form: Author: Book title, edition (publisherlocation: publisher name, date), pages.Example: George E. Dieter, MechanicalMetallurgy, 2nd ed. (New York, NY: McGraw-HillBook Co., 1976), pp. 160-165.3. Book chapters or sections within a book:Example: D.M. Abrams, This appears to bedeleted for publication, Conductive Polymers,ed. R.S. Seymour and A. Smith (New York, NY:Springer, 1973), p. 307.4. A “private communication” or “unpublishedresearch” may be referenced when required togive proper credit. The citation must include theaffiliation and location of the person involved, aswell as the year. Papers presented at meetings,but not published, fall under this category.Example: J.J. Doe, AAA Company, Washington,D.C., unpublished research, 2004.5. References to internal reports and otherpublications of limited availability (not availableby subscription) are not desirable.

Cartwright, “Big Stars Have WeatherToo” (IOP Publishing PhysicsWeb, 2007), ssed 26 June 2007.3

JOINSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS8. “In Press” references must include the name ofthe journal. Complete publication informationshould be supplied when available. This may bedone on the proofs.9. References such as “submitted for publication”and “to be published” are not acceptable. If theitem is still undergoing review, use same formatas “unpublished research” above.10. No other references will be published.Line ArtTables All tables are to be numbered using Romannumerals.Tables should always be cited in text inconsecutive numerical order.For each table, please supply a table caption(title) explaining the components of the table.Identify any previously published materialby giving the original source in the form of areference at the end of the table caption.Footnotes to tables should be indicated bysuperscript lower-case letters (or asterisks forsignificance values and other statistical data)and included beneath the table body. ARTWORK AND ILLUSTRATIONS Preparing Electronic Figure Submission For vector graphics, the preferred format isEPS; for halftones, please use JPG, PNG, orTIFF format. Vector graphics containing fonts must have thefonts embedded in the files. Name your figure files with “Fig” and the figurenumber, e.g., Fig1.eps. When preparing image files, size figures to fit inthe column width. For most journals, the figurewidth should be 39 mm, 84 mm, 129 mm, or 174mm and the height not more than 234 mm. Definition: Black and white graphic with noshading.Do not use faint lines and/or lettering and checkthat all lines and lettering within the figures arelegible at final size.Vector graphics containing fonts must have thefonts embedded in the files.All lines should be at least 0.1 mm (0.3 pt) wide.Scanned line drawings and line drawings inbitmap format should have a minimum resolutionof 1200 dpi.Halftone Art4

JO INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORSDefinition: Photographs, drawings or paintingswith fine shading, etc.If any magnification is used in the photographs,indicate this by using scale bars within thefigures themselves.Halftones should have a minimum resolution of300 dpi.Proof of the subject’s consent to publish must beprovided for photographs featuring people.Combination Art Definition: A combination of halftone and line art,e.g., halftones containing line drawing, extensivelettering, color diagrams, etc.Combination artwork should have a minimumresolution of 600 dpi.Color Art Color art is free of charge for online publication.Color printing of figures, micrographs, etc. isavailable at a cost of US 1,150 per article. If black and white will be shown in the printversion, make sure that the main informationwill still be visible. Many colors are notdistinguishable from one another whenconverted to black and white. A simple way tocheck this is to make a printout to see if thenecessary distinctions between the differentcolors are still apparent. If the figures will be printed in black and white,do not refer to color in the captions. Color illustrations should be submitted as RGB(8 bits per channel).Figure Lettering To add lettering, it is best to use Helvetica orArial (sans serif fonts). Keep lettering consistently sized throughout yourfinal-sized artwork, usually about 2–3 mm (8–12pt). Variance of type size within an illustration shouldbe minimal, e.g., do not use 8-pt type on an axisand 20-pt type for the axis label. Avoid effects such as shading, outline letters,etc. Do not include titles or captions within yourillustrations.Figure Numbering All figures are to be numbered using Arabicnumerals (1, 2, 3, etc.). Figures should always be cited in the text inconsecutive numerical order. Figure parts should be denoted by lowercaseletters (a, b, c, etc.) and described in the figurecaption. If an appendix appears in your article and itcontains one or more figures, continue theconsecutive numbering of the main text. Donot number the appendix figures, “A1, A2, A3,etc.” Figures in online appendices (ElectronicSupplementary Material) should, however, benumbered separately.Figure Captions Each figure should have a concise captiondescribing accurately what the figure depicts.Include the captions in the text file of themanuscript, not in the figure file. Figure captions begin with the term Fig.,followed by the figure number and a period. Alsoinclude punctuation at the end of the captiontext.Example: Fig. 4a. Steady state creep rate vs.applied stress for a P91 steel. Identify all elements found in the figure inthe figure caption, and describe each part ofmulti-part figures. Use boxes, circles, etc., ascoordinate points in graphs.5

JO INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORSIdentify previously published material by givingthe original source in the form of a referencecitation at the end of the figure caption. Forfigures being reprinted, indicate “Reprinted withpermission from [reference number]” at the endof the figure caption. For figures being adaptedfrom another source, state “Adapted from[reference number].”Figure Placement and Size When preparing your figures, size figures to fit inthe column width. For most journals, the figures should be 39 mm,84 mm, 129 mm, or 174 mm wide and not higherthan 234 mm.PermissionsIf you include figures that have already been publishedelsewhere, you must obtain permission from thecopyright owner(s) for both the print and online formats.Please be aware that some publishers do not grantelectronic rights for free and that Springer will not beable to refund any costs that may have occurred toreceive these permissions. In such cases, material fromother sources should be used. When submitting figuresadapted from another source, copies of those sourceimages must be uploaded as “permission” files.Electronic Supplementary MaterialElectronic supplementary material (ESM) must besubmitted as a single pdf file. The first page shouldinclude the heading “Supplementary material for:”followed by the manuscript title along with the authornames and affiliations. Figures with captions, tables,and text intended to publish as ESM should be identifiedas “Fig. S-1,” “Table S-I,” etc. and cited in the manuscriptas “supplementary Fig. S-1,” “supplementary Table S-I,”etc. At first mention of the ESM within the text, includethe phrase “(refer to online supplementary material)”.Videos and spreadsheets are also acceptable as ESM.Note that ESM will be published “as is” without benefitof copyediting or formatting and should contain allinformation necessary to be easily understood by thereaders.AccessibilityTo give people of all abilities access to your content,please make sure that: All figures have descriptive captions to enablevisually impaired users to use a text-to-speechsoftware or a text-to-Braille hardware. Patterns are used instead of or in addition tocolors for conveying information.Any figure lettering has a contrast ratio of atleast 4.5:1.JOM MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION CHECKLISTBefore you submit your manuscript online to JOM,please review the following checklist to make sureall of your information and materials are assembledand readily accessible.
