INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING JVST MANUSCRIPTS

JVST B Special Collection

2022 International Symposium of the Vacuum Society of the Philippines

Manuscript deadline: September 6, 2022

Papers presented at ISVSP 2022 may be submitted for publication in a Special Collection within the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B (JVST B). The deadline for manuscript submission to JVST B is September 6, 2022. Submit your manuscripts to JVST B and select the ISVSP 2022 Collection using the journal’s online manuscript submission system at http://jvstb.peerx-press.org. In preparing your article, please follow the instructions for contributors, which may be found on the Information for Contributors link at http://avs.scitation.org/jvb/authors/manuscript.

No Page Charges: AVS Journals do not require page charges. AVS also offers free membership for one year to the corresponding author on accepted JVST papers, which includes journal access.

Authors are encouraged to use the JVST templates. The easiest way to prepare your manuscript is to use the available JVST Article Template to delete and replace text as necessary. Article templates can be found at https://avs.scitation.org/jvb/authors/manuscript.

Note that acceptance to present at the conference does not guarantee the acceptance of your manuscript in JVST B. Papers will be reviewed according to criteria set by JVST and must meet JVST standards for both technical contents and written English. To be published in JVST B, the manuscript must:

• present original findings, conclusions, or analyses that have not been published previously by the authors or others,
• be free of errors and ambiguities,
• support conclusions with data and analysis,
• be written clearly, and
• have high impact in its field, which must be within the scope of topics covered by the journal

Note: Authors should select “Article” as the type of paper within the conference special issue (not Letter, Note, etc.)

It is very IMPORTANT that authors indicate to which Collection the paper is submitted. Online, you will have an opportunity to tell us that your paper is a part of this Collection by choosing the Special Topic or Conference Collection “Papers from The 2022 International Symposium of the Vacuum Society of the Philippines (ISVSP 2022)” from the drop-down list in the Manuscript Classification tab.

Acceptable manuscript file types are MS Word or LaTeX. For the initial submission/review process, a single PDF, MS Word or LaTeX file including the figures is sufficient. However, once a paper is accepted, a MS Word or LaTeX file of the text, any tables, and figure captions along with the separate figure files will be required for final production. Use of color in figures is encouraged. Your figures can appear in color online for free.

Prepare illustrations in the final published size, not oversized or undersized.

Please refer to the JVST B journal web page for any other details about manuscript preparation, under the For Authors tab, and Preparing Your Manuscript.

Note: Please observe the deadline to allow for timely processing. JVST will try to include papers submitted after this deadline in the Collection, but these papers may not be included. However, if accepted, papers can still be published as regular articles.

Submit Manuscript to: http://jvstb.peerx-press.org
