FLUID MIXING 8 Fluid
Mixing VIII

Instructions for submission of papers to the Fluid Mixing VIII International Conference and the Special Issue of Chemical Engineering Science

Guidelines concerning the preparation and submission procedure for all papers submitted to the Fluid Mixing VIII conference are provided below. A special issue of Chemical Engineering Science, edited by Prof. M. Yianneskis, will be published with a selection of the papers presented at Fluid Mixing VIII. Only manuscripts considered by at least two reviewers as suitable for publication in Chemical Engineering Science will be included in the Special Issue. The pdf files of all papers, including any not accepted for the Special Issue but recommended for oral/poster presentation in the conference, will be included in a CD which will be made available to all participants at the start of the conference, together with a copy of the Special Issue.

Details concerning the submission procedure are provided below. In view of the publication schedule for the Special Issue, authors are requested to bear in mind that deadlines should be strictly adhered to.

DEADLINE FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION: 15 June 2005


Submission of Papers

Corresponding authors who have received notification of abstract acceptance by the Organising Committee, must submit their papers by e-mail as attachments in pdf file format to papersubmission@fluidmixing8.org.

Only contributions not submitted or published elsewhere can be accepted for review. Furthermore, authors must agree not to submit elsewhere a paper submitted to and accepted by Chemical Engineering Science.

General guidelines for the preparation of manuscripts can be also found in http://authors.elsevier.com

Language

Papers are to be submitted in English. We recommend that authors whose native language is other than English have their manuscripts checked before submitting their paper.

Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher. Authors are responsible for the originality of their texts.

Manuscript Preparation

General: Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. The corresponding author should be identified (include a Fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. An electronic copy of the paper should accompany the final version. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use. Original drawings and photographs should not be sent until the work has been accepted for publication.

The entire length of the paper should not exceed 8 journal pages which corresponds to a maximum of about 7000 words (excluding figures, tables, equations and title; authors should plan their manuscripts with an appropriately shorter text to allow space for title, figures and, as appropriate, tables and/or equations etc.).

Authors must ensure that the page limit is strictly adhered to, as otherwise publication of their manuscript in the Special Issue of Chemical Engineering Science is unlikely to be possible, but the paper will be included in the conference CD. Manuscripts will only be published if at least one (different) author registration per manuscript is received by 15 November 2005.

Abstracts: The significance and achievement of each full length paper and review article should be stated in an abstract. Note that the title and abstract are used for indexing purposes.

Keywords: Six keywords should be provided to facilitate indexing and on-line searching. At least 4 of these keywords should be chosen from the list of recommended keywords from the list at the end of these instructions.

Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Vitae, Figure Captions and then Tables. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers.

Units: SI units are required.

References: All citations in the text should refer to:

  1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
  2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
  3. Three or more authors: first author’s name followed by "et al." and the year of publication.

Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically. Examples: "as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown ...."

All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references, arranged alphabetically first and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication. Journal titles should be cited in full.

Reference to a book: Sinnott, R.K. (1996). Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering Volume 6, Design. Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford, pp. 274-304.

Reference to a chapter in an edited book: Seville, J.P.K. et al. (1986). Tomographic determination of the voidage structure of gas fluidized beds in the jet region, in: Ostergaard, K. & Sorensen, A. (Eds.), Fluidization, vol. V. Engineering Foundation, New York, p. 87.

Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.

Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.

Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.

Colour: Colour figures can be printed provided that, in the specific judgement of an Editor, the colour is essential to convey scientific information. There is no charge for the first two colour illustrations in a paper. Further details of cost are available from Author Services, at Elsevier Science.

Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs).

Proofs

Proofs will be sent to the author (first named author if no corresponding author is identified of multi-authored papers) and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any others may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Please note that authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before return, since the inclusion of late corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofs are to be returned to the Log-in Department, Elsevier Science, The Boulevard, Langford Lane, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1GB, UK.

Offprints

Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge. Additional offprints and copies of the issue can be ordered at a specially reduced rate using the order form sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted. Orders for reprints (produced after publication of an article) will incur a 50% surcharge.

Copyright

All authors must sign the "Transfer of Copyright" agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Science Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, without the author relinquishing his/her proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microfilm or any other reproductions of a similar nature, and translations. It also includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any material for which copyright already exists.
