CARBON submission checklist

Please check the following points before approving the PDF file for your manuscript. Manuscripts that do not conform may be returned for correction and resubmission. You should be able to answer “yes” to all of the following questions. Items 11 and 14 may not be applicable.

1. Is the manuscript double–spaced or 1.5-spaced with a font size of 12 pt.? (Times or Times New Roman and 1 inch margins are preferred)? Yes.

2. Have you given full addresses and affiliations for all co–authors? Yes.

3. Does the manuscript include a one paragraph abstract of less than 200 words

(Review articles and Research papers) or less than 100 words (Letters)? Make sure the abstract is included in the manuscript. For the manuscript of a Letter separate the abstract from the text by an extra line space or a horizontal line. Yes.

4. Is the corresponding author or corresponding authors identified by * and contact details (tel. number and e–mail address) given as a footnote to the first page? Do not include the address, which should be included in the ms heading as part of the author affiliations. Use the following format:

*Corresponding author. E-mail: Robert_Hurt@brown.edu (Robert Hurt)

Note: Carbon allows more than one corresponding author to be listed on the title page of the manuscript and published article. During submission, however, the electronic system will request a single corresponding author with whom we will communicate during the review purposes. We recommend this author be one of the senior members of the author team. Yes.

5. Are sections given Arabic numbers with subsections numbered using the decimal system? For example:

2. Experimental

2.1 Sample preparation 2.1.1 Sample modification

NOTE: Acknowledgements and References sections are not numbered.

Yes.

6. References.

- are they each given a different number? (do not use 14a. b. c etc.) - do they all include manuscript titles and page spans?

- have you given the first six author names followed by et al.?

- are they archival? “Web pages, private communications, unpublished results, etc. should be given as footnotes.” Yes.

7. Are all symbols translated correctly in the PDF file? Please double check equations. Yes.

8. Have you designated all illustrative items as Figures? “Charts, diagrams, schemes and photographs are all to be referred to in CARBON as Figures\Yes.

9. Please imbed figures, tables, and captions within the text after they are first

introduced in the text and not at the beginning of a section. They do not need to be listed separately at the back of the manuscript. Yes.

10. Have you included the carbon in abbreviations (CNT, CNF, MWCNT etc.)?

NOTE: English grammar dictates that the abbreviation must refer to the singular. One does not use the

plural noun as an adjective (fiber composites, fruit salad, nanotube dimensions, vegetable soup, etc.) One says “the production of MWCNTs”, but “MWCNT production”, “MWCNT properties”, etc. Yes.

11. For a Letter to the Editor – is the text, including references, less than five double-spaced pages? Also, are there no more than five figures + tables combined?

12. Have you provided a list of names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses for at least three suggested international (at least two countries) peer reviewers? Also have you included a short rationale for each suggested reviewer choice? Yes.

13. Does your use of abbreviations conform to the following guidelines given in the Editorial in CARBON 44/5?

1. To define an abbreviation, first write the term in full followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. “X-ray diffraction (XRD) examination showed that the samples were …..” Do not do the reverse. 2. Never use or define an abbreviation in the manuscript title.

3. Never use abbreviations in the Abstract without defining them, and only define them if they are used

later in the Abstract.

4. Define an abbreviation the first time it is used in the text, even though it may also have been

necessary to define it in the Abstract.

5. Only define an abbreviation if you are going to use it later. Yes.

14. If this is a resubmission as a result of comments from the Editor, have you included replies to these comments in your cover letter?
