MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION Authors are required to follow the article guidelines set forth in the submission checklist. Manuscripts that do not conform to the points listed in the checklist will be returned for correction and resubmission. CARBON Submission Checklist General: Manuscripts must be word processed, double?spaced or 1.5-spaced with a font size of 12 pt (Times or Times New Roman preferred). The corresponding author or authors should be identified by an asterisk (*) and contact details (telephone number and e?mail address) given as a footnote to the first page. Full addresses and affiliations must be gi ven for all co?authors. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Types of Articles: CARBON accepts three types of articles, each with its own format. Letters to the Editor are short communications that are no more than five double-spaced manuscript pages (including references) in length, and should include no more than five tables and figures combined. A maximum of 10 references is suggested. Letters should include an abstract of no more than 100 words and should not be divided into sections. The figures should be provided in a form suitable for reproduction in a single column of the journal. Letters to the Editor may be used (a) as a brief research report or (b) to comment on papers previously published in the journal. Research Papers may be of any length. They should include an abstract of no more than 200 words and should be divided into numbered sections, as described below. Review Articles are usually solicited by the Editors, and it is strongly suggested that the Editor-in-Chief be contacted before such an article is submitted. Reviews should give an extensive, up-to-date, state-of-the-art account of a current important research topic. The article should be formatted as is a Research Paper but contain a list of contents immediately after the abstract. NOTE that all papers are now published "on demand" and no preference is given to Letters. The current average time from a paper being accepted to its availability on-line is six days. Any submission that is deemed by the Editor to be of special importance can be made available in two days. Article transfer service: This journal is part of our Article Transfer Service. This means that if the Editor feels your article is more suitable in one of our other participating journals, then you may be asked to consider transferring the article to one of those. If you agree, your article will be transferred automatically on your behalf with no need to reformat. More information about this can be found here: : Abstracts are required for all submissions. For Letters to the Editor these should be no longer than 100 words. For all other submissions the abstract should be no longer than 200 words. For Letters to the Editor make sure the abstract is clearly separated from the text using an extra line space or a horizontal line. Text : Follow this order when preparing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, (Please note that Keywords are no longer used), Main text with imbedded figures and tables, Acknowledgements, Appendix, and References. All footnotes (except for table footnotes and that giving the corresponding author contact details) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers. The paper should only contain a detailed technical description of methods used when such methods are new. Figures and tables should be embedded at an appropriate place in the text, after their Introduction. Sections : Sections should be given Arabic numbers with subsections numbered using the decimal system. For example: 1. Introduction 2. Experimental 2.1 Sample preparation 2.1.1 Sample modification Roman numerals are not used. The Editors reserve the right to combine sections when subdivisions have been used to excess. Units : The SI system should be used for all scientific and laboratory data. References Reference links Increased discoverability of research and high quality peer review are ensured by online links to the sources cited. In order to allow us to create links to abstracting and indexing services, such as Scopus, CrossRef and PubMed, please ensure that data provided in the references are correct. Please note that incorrect surnames, journal/book titles, publication year and pagination may prevent link creation. When copying references, please be careful as they may already contain errors. Use of the DOI is encouraged. Reference formatting There are no strict requirements on reference formatting at submission. References can be in any style or format as long as the style is consistent. Where applicable, author(s) name(s), journal title/book title, chapter title/article title, year of publication, volume and issue/book chapter and the pagination must be present. Use of DOI is highly encouraged. The reference style used by the journal will be applied to the accepted article by Elsevier at the proof stage. Note that missing data will be highlighted at proof stage for the author to correct. If you do wish to format the references yourself they should be arranged according to the following examples: Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given. List: Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text.

For references with more than six authors give the first six names followed by et al. (e.g. [3] above). Give each reference a different number, do not use 14a. b. c etc. The page span (first ? last pages) is required for each article. Article titles must be supplied for all references. When referencing a paper that is part of a run-on section, for example a paper that forms part of the 'Letters to Editor' section, please be sure to reference the page span of only the paper you are referencing and not the page span of the entire run-on section Illustrations General : Charts, diagrams, schemes and photographs are all to be referred to as "Figures", and should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are referred to. Low resolution figures should be embedded at the appropriate point in the text, with captions placed immediately below the figure. If the manuscript is accepted you will later be asked to submit individual, original high resolution figures to be used in the production process. Preferred Image Formats : For the production of your paper we require high resolution graphic files in one of the preferred formats, TIFF or EPS. For detailed information about electronic artwork visit ; however, electronic artwork files are not always usable due to stringent format, resolution, and font size requirements. We therefore ask you to be prepared to send high quality originals of your figures with captions on a separate sheet, after your paper has been accepted, to: Login Department, Elsevier, Stover Court, Bampfylde Street, Exeter, Devon, EX1 2AH, UK. Please ensure that all figures are labelled with the relevant figure number and with the unique code of your manuscript (allocated at submission stage). Line Drawings : 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. Do not use any type of shading on computer generated illustrations. Photographs : Photographs should only be included where they are essential and must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). Micrographs must have a clear scale mark in one corner. Color Artwork: Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF, EPS or MS Office files) and with the correct resolution. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. Please indicate your preference for color in print or on the Web only. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see : Because of technical complications which can arise by converting color figures to "gray scale" (for the printed version should you not opt for color in print) please submit in addition usable black and white versions of all the color illustrations. Tables : Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in the order in which they are referred to. Tables should be included at the appropriate point in the text. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lower case letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs). Supplementary Data : Elsevier now accepts electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to publish supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high?resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier web products, including ScienceDirect . In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure that data is provided in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed instructions please visit "Multimedia Files". AudioSlides The journal encourages authors to create an AudioSlides presentation with their published article. AudioSlides are brief, webinar-style presentations that are shown next to the online article on ScienceDirect. This gives authors the opportunity to summarize their research in their own words and to help readers understand what the paper is about. More information and examples are available at e-mail to create an AudioSlides presentation after acceptance of their paper. Video Data Elsevier accepts video material and animation sequences to support and enhance your scientific research. Authors who have video or animation files that they wish to submit with their article are strongly encouraged to include these within the body of the article. This can be done in the same way as a figure or table by referring to the video or animation content and noting in the body text where it should be placed. All submitted files should be properly labeled so that they directly relate to the video file's content. In order to ensure that your video or animation material is directly usable, please provide the files in one of our recommended file formats with a maximum size of 30 MB and running time of 5 minutes. Video and animation files supplied will be published online in the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect: . Please supply 'stills' with your files: you can choose any frame from the video or animation or make a separate image. These will be used instead of standard icons and will personalize the link to your video data. For more detailed instructions please visit our video instruction pages at : since video and animation cannot be embedded in the print version of the journal, please provide text for both the electronic and the print version for the portions of the article that refer to this content. Files can be stored on diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh). Proofs Electronic proofs (PDF format) of all manuscripts will be sent as an e?mail attachment to the submitting author. Corrections should be returned within 48 hours on a printed copy (by fax), or by e?mailing a list of corrections. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any others may be charged to the author. Please note that authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before return, since the inclusion of late corrections cannot be guaranteed. Offprints Th e corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e?mail. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use.
