CONTRIBUTE TO CORROSION & MATERIALS

NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Corrosion and Materials, Technological Supplement, publishes papers in the following categories, "Original Research", "Technological Reviews" and "Case Histories" and such papers are solicited by the Committee of Associate Editors.  Letters responding to papers published in the Journal are also considered for publication.    Submission of a paper to the journal will be taken to imply that it represents original work not previously published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication, and that if accepted for publication, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form.

Papers may be submitted electronically or in hard copy form. All papers must be accompanied by a separate 150 word Abstract and a statement of the category into which a paper falls. As Abstracts are used to direct the paper to appropriate Associate Editors and reviewers, failure to submit an Abstract may result in considerable delays in publication.   All papers should be typed with double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins.  The associate Editors do not wish to be prescriptive concerning writing conventions, but an appropriate style guide may be found here.

Paper submissions should be submitted in triplicate to:

Wesley Fawaz
Marketing Manager
ACA Inc.
PO Box 112
Kerrimuir, Vic. 3129, Australia.

Electronic submissions should be directed to wesley.fawaz@corrosion.com.au

REVIEW PROCEDURES
Authors will be informed as soon as possible after the submission of a paper of the name of the appropriate Associate Editor who is handling their paper. It is to this officer that any correspondence should be directed. All papers submitted are subjected to a rigorous review procedure by independent referees. It is the intention of the Associate Editorial Committee that reviews by two anonymous referees will be forwarded to a potential contributor within six weeks of the submission of an original manuscript.  In order to expedite publication authors are encouraged to modify (if necessary) their papers as quickly as possible and to submit the modified version to the appropriate Associate Editor.  The decision of that Associate Editor concerning publication is final.

PROOFS
Authors will receive page proofs (including figures) for correction, and these must be returned to the ACA publications officer within 48 hours of receipt.  Please ensure that a full postal address is given on the first page of the typescript, so that proofs are not delayed in the post.  Authors' alterations in excess of 10% of the original composition cost will be charged to authors.

There are no page charges to individuals or to institutions.  It is a condition of the acceptance by the editor of a typescript for publication that the publishers acquire automatically the copyright in the typescript throughout the world.
