IS-TCO : Paper Submission

The deadline for the submission of papers has been extended to Monday 16/10/06.

Please login at http://147.52.130.151/tcos/dbselect.php using as the presentation type the one which you had originally selected (regardless of the type that has been eventually agreed for your presentation) and as id the number which you were assigned during your original abstract submission. Once you have successfully logged in, then please submit your paper at the bottom of the form (in a similar way that you submitted your abstract).

In order to clarify the logging in process please read the following example: If you originally submitted an oral presentation which was identified with id 145, and was subsequently accepted as a poster presentation, then you will login by selecting oral as the presentation type and 145 as the id, rather than poster and 145.

If you have forgotten the original presentation type, or your id, or your password, then please contact us at tco2006@iesl.forth.gr and we will make sure that you get as soon as possible the necessary information.

Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format following the following instructions by Elsevier “Thin Solid Films”Journal.

Contributing oral or poster presentations: Max 4 printed pages (Max 10 manucript pagetotal in double-spaced 12-pt font, as specified bellow)

Important note:
Authors are requested to indicate which section / subtopic of the Symposium is more closely related to their work, and, indicate names (with postal and e-mail addresses) of at least three individuals who are qualified to review their paper.

Manuscript preparation
The manuscript should be prepared in double-spaced 12-pt font, preferably Arial, Times, Helvetica, Symbols, on single-column, single-sided, numbered pages with a wide (3 cm) margins. Leave a blank line between each paragraph.
Please adhere to the following order: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, List of figure and table captions, Tables, Figures. Some flexibility of presentation of the main text will be allowed but the authors are urged to arrange the subject matter clearly under such headings as Introduction, Experimental Details, Results, Discussion, etc. The sections and subsections should be numbered 1., 1.1, …, 2., …
Use SI units.

Title
Title should be concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulas where possible.

Author names and affiliations
Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lowercase superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.

Corresponding author
Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of the peer review process, publication, and post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.

Abstract
Each paper should have a concise and factual abstract of ~100 words. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and the major conclusions. As the abstract is often presented separate form the article, it must be able to stand alone.

Keywords
Authors are requested to supply a maximum of eight keywords, preferably, but not necessarily, selected from the structured Suggested Keyword List of Thin Solid Films and to list them below the abstract. Link to this suggested keyword list is available from http://www.elsevier.com/locate/tsf in the electronic version of the Instructions to authors located in the Guide to authors menu of the journal. Please note that if authors believe an important keyword is not listed, they can use unlisted keywords of their own knowledge of the field.

Bibliographic references and notes
References should be numbered consecutively (numerals in square brackets) throughout the text and collected together with the footnotes in a reference list at the end of the paper. In the text, references are noted by on-line Arabic numerals in square brackets as in: “Smith and Roberts [1] measured…” These reference indicators should be one space from words and inside punctuation: “… some previous work [1,3,5-7].” Reference to not readily accessible reports should be avoided. Reference to a collection of abstracts is not a readily accessible report.
List all authors; use first name initials and last name(s) only. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (http://www.cas.org/sent.html). Leave a blank line between each entry in the list of references.

Illustrations
Presentation. In the copy to be used for the review process, present tables and figures at the end of the manuscript, after the list of table and figure captions. Do not embed figures in the core of the text.
All tables and illustrations should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper using Arabic numerals. (Examples: Fig. 1. and Table 1). Table and figure captions must be submitted with the manuscript in a separate list and on a separate sheet.
Character font. Please use system fonts: Symbols, Times, Helvetica, or Arial only.
Format and font size. Illustrations must fit a one- or two-column format (8.25 or 17.75 cm overall width) on the journal page. The one-column format is strongly preferred and a figure containing one graph should not extend on two columns. Make sure to use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork. Please submit the line drawings in the actual size – usually 8.25 cm overall width. Original illustrations that do not need to be reduced will yield the best quality. All characters within an illustration should be at least 1.5 mm height; subscript and superscript characters should be at least 1.0 mm height. If grey or color characters are used, all characters within an illustration should be at least 2 mm height and subscript and superscript characters should be at least 1.5 mm height. All lines should be at least 0.5 pt. Ensure that nothing is hand-drawn or hand-labeled in your figures.
For electronic submissions there should be a single file (word or pdf) with the figures appended at the end of the file.
If the manuscript is submitted in the form of hard copies, separate sheets must be submitted. Line drawings should be high-contrast laser printouts. Use dark black ink on high-quality opaque white paper. Separate electronic files may be required by the editorial office.
If hard copies of micrographs and other photographs are provided or requested, please provide glossy prints clearly identified on the back with the figure number.
Color illustrations
If provided electronically, color line art will be used for the electronic version of the journal if a high quality electronic version is provided. Please carefully choose colors for them to be easy to see on the screen and to reproduce well when readers print the paper from a black and white printer. Note that a black and white copy must also be provided for the printed version of the journal.
For hardcopy submissions, photographs should be submitted as clear black-and-white prints on glossy paper. Electronic version of computer-generated micrographs should be provided.
Illustrations can be printed in color when they are judged by the Editor to be essential to the presentation. The publisher and author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. The charge to be passed on to authors of articles containing color figures in the printed version is EUR 635 for the first page containing color and EUR 317 for each additional page containing color (prices are subject to change). Upon acceptance of your paper, the publisher will send a consent form to the corresponding author. If you know at this stage that you do not wish color reproduction, please provide suitable black and white alternatives.
