Submission of Manuscripts

Manuscript Submission

Please, read carefully all this page before submitting your manuscript. You will get information about the formatting of your manuscript, as well as the website link to submit your manuscript.

 

1) Determining the Journal: Thin Solid Film or Surface and Coatings Technology?

All Accepted papers will be published in special issues of Thin Solid Films (TSF) or Surface and Coatings Technology (SCT). Authors cannot choose the journal: the submission is according to the symposia where the abstract has been accepted. Please, check in the table below which one is your journal, according to your symposia:

Symposia Journal
Symposium A – Coatings for Use at High Temperatures Surface and Coatings Technology
Symposium B – Hard Coatings and Vapor Deposition Technologies Surface and Coatings Technology
Symposium C – Functional Thin Films and Surfaces Thin Solid Films
Symposium D – Coatings for Biomedical and Healthcare Applications Thin Solid Films
Symposium E – Tribology and Mechanical Behavior of Coatings and Engineered Surfaces Surface and Coatings Technology
Symposium F – New Horizons in Coatings and Thin Films Thin Solid Films
Symposium G – Surface Engineering – Applied Research and Industrial Applications Surface and Coatings Technology
Symposium H – Advanced Characterization Techniques for Coatings and Thin Films Thin Solid Films
Symposium TS1 – Anti- and De-icing Surface Engineering Surface and Coatings Technology
Symposium TS2 – Thin Films on Polymer Substrates: Flexible Electronics and Beyond Thin Solid Films
Symposium TS3 – Electrochemical Cells – Hydrogen and Batteries Thin Solid Films
Symposium TS4 – Big Data, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and High-throughput Experimental Methods Thin Solid Films
Symposium TS5 – Sustainable Surface Solutions, Materials, Processes and Applications Surface and Coatings Technology
Symposium TS6 – A Special Recognition to the Contributions of Joe Greene to the ICMCTF/AVS Community (All-Invited Session) Thin Solid Films

Manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication and will be peer-reviewed according to the usual high standards of these archival international journals. Upon acceptance of an article by the Editors, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright to Elsevier Science Publishers.

If you have any difficulties when submitting your manuscript into the submission system, please contact the lead editor, Esteban Broitman at: ebroitm@hotmail.com

Again, please adhere to the deadline of May 22, 2022 for the submission of your manuscript. This will allow our editorial team to initiate early the peer review process, complete their editorial work rapidly and ensure timely publication. We very much appreciate your cooperation.

Please note: the submission can only be done through the special Elsevier’s website submission for our conference found on the journal submission page, as explained below. The general instructions to write and submit the manuscript are also explained below.

Very Important: Note that manuscripts will not be accepted for publication in the Special Issues unless they have been delivered at the conference as oral or poster presentations by the authors listed in the program.

 

2) Cover Letter

Your cover letter must clearly include:

  1. The abstract number assigned by the conference organization.
  2. The title of the abstract
  3. The name of the presenter at the conference.

3) Manuscript Format

Manuscript format can be found in the following links:
