• To guarantee publication in physica status solidi (a) all papers will go through a double peer-review by two independent referees.

Online submission

All manuscripts need to be prepared using the new templates of physica status solidi!

Similar to the previous editions of SBDD, all manuscripts should be submitted online using the dedicated website of physica status solidi: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pssc.

Do not send your manuscript to the Editorial Office of physica status solidi!

Manuscripts - Instructions for authors (also available here)

    Manuscript Submission, Formats, and Length Restrictions

• Please be sure to meet the length restrictions. A page limit is imposed using the template of style file mentioned below:

   

  • Invited Paper: 8 pages (including title, abstract, figures, tables references, etc.)
  • Contributed paper: 6 pages (including title, abstract, figures, tables, references, etc.).

• Prepare your manuscript using Microsoft Word (preferred) or LaTeX. All textual material (incl. tables, captions, etc.) should be in a single file. It is essential that you use the provided template and style files, respectively, to enable an easy length estimate of your article.

• Microsoft Word: Please use the provided document template pss_template_word.zip; an example is the file pss_manuscript_preparation_guidelines_word_2010.doc which contains extended author instructions in the style of a manuscript.

• LaTeX 2e: The style file package pss_abc_2008_latex.zip is available.

    Title and Author Information

• A corresponding address valid for the entire period from submission until publication must be given, especially if the current address differs from the author's affiliation in the paper.

• Please identify the corresponding author and add e-mail, phone, and fax as a footnote.

• Keywords: Articles on Wiley InterScience and in the journal issues are classified using keywords. Please therefore suggest about four verbal keywords for your manuscript. Keywords should be comprehensive, reflect the essence and major aspects of the work, and be as precise as possible. Expressions which are not generally known by the physics community, especially abbreviations, should be avoided.

• An abstract of about ten lines is required.

    Figures and Tables

• Figures must be submitted ready for reproduction. Lettering/symbols should be large and clear enough in the final figure size. Avoid small open symbols, small dots, small decimal points, hairlines, close-dotted or short-dashed lines. Draw a closed axes frame in diagrams. For numbers, use a decimal point instead of a comma.

• Figures and tables should be embedded as floating objects, in order to indicate their appropriate positions and required space. Figures may also be submitted as separate files (PS/EPS, TIFF, GIF, PDF, CorelDraw, Origin, Adobe Illustrator or compatible formats) if they are not embedded in the text file.

• Colour figures submitted in electronic format will generally remain in colour in the internet PDF version of an article at no cost. Print version will be black/white unless colour figures are purchased using the colour print authorisation on the Reprint Order Form.

    Quantities and equations

• Both in the text and in equations, physical quantities should be given in italic, vectors in bold italic, units in upright letters. Tabulated functions should be given in upright letters.

    Formatting of Literature Citations

• References should be numbered [in square brackets] and listed in the order of appearance at the end of the manuscript, or inserted using LaTeX commands. In Word, it is not recommended to insert references as endnotes. Please apply the format used in physica status solidi.
