Guidelines for Authors

“Journal of New technology and Materials”(JNTM) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high quality original works on the Material sciences (physics, chemistry and life sciences) and engineering. It covers the aspect of materials science and engineering in all forms, particularly materials associated with new technologies (nanoscience and nanotechnology). The journal has an editorial board and international advisory editors, covering the majority areas of materials and engineering research. Coverage is broad and includes the design and synthesis of materials, their characterization, processing, modelling, properties and applications in the fields of theoretical physics, applied physics, metallurgy, chemistry, theoretical chemistry, nuclear physics, ceramics, semiconductors, electronic devices, spintronics, spectroscopy and life sciences. Papers covering interdisciplinary research and papers from related disciplines are encouraged, in particular those addressing emerging and quickly developing fields.

To establish the suitability of the articles for JNTM they must highlight the novel properties or applications (or potential properties/applications) of the materials studied. Papers that report primarily structural studies will be considered for publication only where the materials have interesting properties or are of potential interest for the materials and technology communities.

- New Authors: If you are submitting for the first time, you will first be required to send some information (name, title, fax, phone, …).

- Manuscripts are to be prepared according to the instructions provided (see below). They should preferably be prepared using MS Word file. Authors are expected to check their proofs before publication.

- Once a paper is accepted, authors are assumed to cede copyright transfer agreement of the paper over to OEB Univ. Publish. Co.

- All papers will be acknowledged and refereed. They will not be returned.

- Submission of a manuscript indicates a tacit understanding that the paper is not under consideration for publication with other journals.

- There is no page charge for the journal.

- All authors for the regular issues will be provided with a free pdf file of the final paper. As for the special issues, only the lead authors or the corresponding authors will be provided with a free pdf.

Authors should note that the following practices are likely grounds for rejection of a manuscript, or acceptance only after substantial revision.

1. Papers must be written in English according to the template.

2. Papers must be written in MS-Word format and sent by email as an attached file to JNTM11@yahoo.fr, or journal.jntm@gmail.com, also the paper must be sent online via the editorial system (ASJP).

3. Title. A paper should have a short, straightforward title directed at the general reader. Lengthy systematic names and complicated and numerous chemical formulae should therefore be avoided where possible. The use of non-standard abbreviations and symbols in a title is not encouraged. The title should be in Baskerville Old Face (18 pts).

4. Authors name should be in Baskerville Old Face (12pts).

5. Affiliations should be in Baskerville Old Face (10pts) italic.

6. Abstract. Every paper must be accompanied by an abstract (70–200 words) setting out briefly and clearly the main results of the work; it should give the reader a clear idea of what has been achieved. The text of abstract should be in Baskerville Old Face (10pts) italic and it must be followed by three or five keywords.

7. Introduction. This should give clearly and briefly, with relevant references, both the nature of the problem under investigation and its background. The text of introduction should be in Baskerville Old Face (10pts).

8. Main text. Only strictly relevant results should be presented and figures, tables, and equations should be used for purposes of clarity and brevity. The use of flow diagrams and reaction schemes is encouraged. Data must not be reproduced in more than one form, e.g. in both figures and tables, without good reason. The text should be in Baskerville Old Face (10pts).

9. Conclusion. This is for interpretation and to highlight the novelty and significance of the work. The conclusions should not summarize information already present in the text or abstract. The text of the conclusion should be in Baskerville Old Face (10pts).

10. References. The reference numbers should be cited between brackets […] in the correct sequence through the text (including those in tables and figure captions, numbered according to where the table or figure is designated to appear). The references themselves are given at the end of the final printed text along with any Notes.

11. Authors must split the contents of a text field (Introduction, main text, conclusion and references) into two

columns.
