ANTI-CORROSION METHODS AND MATERIALS
Instructions to Authors
ISIJ International is a monthly publication of the Iron and Steel Institute of Japan (ISIJ). Timely and original contributions are welcome from both ISIJ members and non-members from around the world.
Aims and Scope
ISIJ International is a peer-reviewed open access journal dedicated to the publication of research addressing fundamental and technological aspects of iron, steel and related engineering materials. Articles describe the properties, structure, characterization and modelling, processing, fabrication of iron and steel, as well as report on associated environmental issues.
The following aspects of the science and engineering of iron and steel are of particular interest:
Fundamentals of High Temperature Processes
Ironmaking
Steelmaking
Casting and Solidification
Instrumentation, Control, and System Engineering
Chemical and Physical Analysis
Forming Processes and Thermomechanical Treatment
Welding and Joining
Surface Treatment and Corrosion
Transformations and Microstructures
Mechanical Properties
Physical Properties
New Materials and Processes
Social and Environmental Engineering
Topical special issues are published each year for the benefit of the journal’s broad international audience.
Manuscript Types
The journal publishes Regular Articles, Review Articles and Notes, all of which are subject to peer review. Note that once a manuscript has been submitted, the article type cannot be changed. The initial submission must be withdrawn and resubmitted as a new article type.
Regular Articles
Regular Articles document original and significant results that contribute to the extension of knowledge and promotion of our understanding of iron and steel. Regular Articles are expected to be within 10 printed pages (approximately 10,000 words, including tables, figures and other sections) in length. They must be presented in such a way that qualified workers can replicate the key elements on the basis of the information provided.
Review Articles
Review Articles are extensive surveys on a specific subject in which previously published information is compiled, analyzed, and discussed. Reviews are usually invited by the Editorial Board, but authors may also submit them voluntarily.
Notes
Notes (short communications) are a maximum of 5 printed pages (approximately 5,000 words, including tables, figures and other sections) and can take various forms. They may describe:
new findings or interesting aspects of ongoing studies that merit prompt preliminary publication in condensed form;
new research and techniques;
opinions or perspectives about topics of interest to readers; or
criticisms or additional proofs and interpretations in connection with articles previously published in the journal.
Journal & Ethics Policies
ISIJ International welcomes manuscript submissions from authors based anywhere in the world. The journal upholds the highest standards in scholarly publishing.
Before submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors must ensure that they have read and complied with the journal’s policies.
Submission to the journal implies that the manuscript has not been previously published (in part or in whole, in any language), is not in press, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors must inform the editors if any related manuscripts are under consideration, in press or published elsewhere.
Submission of a manuscript to the journal implies that all authors: have approved it, warrant it is factual, have agreed to its submission, and have the right to publish it.
In addition, all submitted manuscripts must be accompanied by signed statements from each author affirming that the manuscript is unpublished, is not under consideration elsewhere, and was written by the authors. Authors must also affirm that they agree to the submission of the manuscript to ISIJ International, and that they agree to the policies and procedures laid out in this Instructions to Authors, including the copyright regulations and page charges.
If authors choose to submit their manuscript elsewhere before a final decision has been made on its suitability for publication in the journal, they must first withdraw it from the journal. The journal reserves the right to reject without review, or retract, any manuscript that the Editor believes may not comply with the journal’s policies.
