AVS Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B Conference Collection

Manuscript Deadline: March 15, 2020

Papers presented will be published together in a Conference Collection for PCSI 2020 in the Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B, one of the premier journals in applied physics and related fields. Papers will publish upon acceptance into the next open issue of JVST B but will also be placed into the Conference Collection: PCSI 2020 group online. To continue this tradition of outstanding conference articles we strongly encourage you to submit a manuscript related to the topic of your PCSI presentation, whether poster, upgraded talk, or invited talk. There are no page charges.

Submission Guidelines

Submit your manuscripts to JVST using the journals’ online manuscript submission system. In preparing your article, you should follow the instructions for contributors, which may be found here.

Authors are encouraged to use the JVST templates. The easiest way to prepare your manuscript is to use the available JVST Article Template to delete and replace text as necessary. This file and the template used to create it are available at the site above.

Online, you will have an opportunity to tell us that your paper is a part of this conference by choosing “Conference Collection: PCSI 2020.” Acceptable manuscript file types are MSWord, LaTeX, and PDF. For the initial submission/review process, a single PDF or MSWord file including the figures is sufficient. However, once a paper is accepted, MSWord or TeX file of the text, any tables and the list of figure captions along with the separate figure files will be required for final production. Use of color in Figures is encouraged. Your FIGURES CAN APPEAR ONLINE IN COLOR FOR FREE. Prepare illustrations in the final published size, not oversized or undersized.

Note: Please observe the deadline. JVST will include papers submitted after this deadline but we encourage timely submission.
