Physical Sciences – Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A
Information for Authors
A Journal of Physical Sciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A (ZNA) is an international scientific journal which publishes original research papers from all areas of experimental and theoretical physics. Authors are encouraged to pay particular attention to a clear exposition of their respective subject, addressing a wide readership. In accordance with the name of our journal, which means "Journal for Natural Sciences", manuscripts submitted to ZNA should have a tangible connection to actual physical phenomena. In particular, we welcome experiment‐oriented contributions.
Submissions to this journal should fit into one of the following main categories: Atomic and molecular & chemical physics, dynamical systems & nonlinear physics, elementary particles & quantum fields, gravitation and cosmology, hydrodynamics, quantum theory, optics and information, solid state physics or thermodynamics & statistical physics.
Manuscripts considered for publication in A Journal of Physical Sciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A undergo high‐level refereeing. Mere formal correctness of a paper is not sufficient for its acceptance. Moreover, articles reporting a merely marginal extension of already existing knowledge are considered unsatisfactory. Instead, the key quality a publication in A Journal of Physical Sciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A should possess is that it makes a genuine contribution to the advancement of its topic.
A Journal of Physical Sciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A publishes 12 issues per year/volume. We reserve the right to subject each submitted manuscript to a plagiarism check. Publication language is English. No page charge is required. Colour figures are printed as such without charge.
Contributions to A Journal of Physical Sciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A may be
(i) Research Articles A Research Article usually is partitioned into individual sections. An introduction should explain the article's topic to a general readership, while a conclusion or discussion section should outline the significance of the new results obtained. There is no formal length limit to a Research Article, but authors should avoid elements of unnecessary length, and restrict figures and tables to what is necessary for efficient communication.
(ii) Research Notes
A Research Note is a rapid communication of particular urgency which does not exceed two pages in print. Decision about the acceptance of a Research Note will be made especially fast.
(iii) Letters
A Letter is a focused communication which usually does not exceed five pages in print. A letter does not need to be divided into individual sections, but should start with an introduction accessible to a general readership and end with a concise summary. Letters will be given priority handling by the editors.
(iv) Review Articles
A Review Article gives an overview over an emerging or particularly active field of current research. Authors wishing to prepare a Review Article should contact one of the editors prior to submission, providing an abstract, tentative section headings, and a length estimate.
Submitting an article is done online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/zna.
Contributions submitted to this journal must be written in clear and concise English. Only unpublished material can be accepted, and authors may not republish their paper in the same or similar form. The decision on the acceptance is taken after a peer‐reviewing procedure.
Please upload a PDF file of the entire paper for the review process (file designation: Main document) and additionally a full set of original files as ZIP archive (file designation: Source Codes (tex, cls, sty etc.) as ZIP archive).
The authors are free to suggest the names and e‐mail addresses of potential reviewers.
Manuscript preparation
Order of the text: Running title (maximal 60 characters) – Title – Authors‘ names (e.g. Jan Baier, Tom F.
Miller, and John F. Kelly) – First author‘s address (and under a, b, c... differing addresses of further authors)
– Dedication (if intended) – Abstract – Keywords (at most five).
After the main text: Acknowledgements (if wished) – List of references – Footnotes – Tables with captions – List of all figure legends – Figures.
Tables, equations, figures, and schemes are to be mentioned in the text in numerical order. They may be placed behind the above mentioned material or integrated on their places in the submitted file.
The abstract must be suitable for direct use by the abstracting journals.
The main text should meet the highest standard as to novelty of the material, organization, and conciseness, and should be correct in grammar and style.
References must be numbered consecutively by order of mention in the text and listed corresponding to the following example: [1] A. Meyer and E. Schmid, Z. Naturforsch. 66a, 503 (2011). Books: [2] G. W.
Müller, Introduction to Chemical Physics, McGraw Hill, New York 2008. [3] F. Bach, in: Statistical Physics of Solids and Liquids (Eds. S. Bayer, C. Stich), Academic Press. New York 2009, p. 338.
Illustrations (figures, structural formulas, schemes) should be of reproducible quality. They will be reduced in size to fit, whenever possible, the width of a single column. Lettering of all figures within the article should be uniform in style and of sufficient size (ca. 10 pt). Uppercase letters A, B, C, etc. Should be used to identify parts of multi‐part figures. In the legend, these letters are included in parentheses.
Cite all figures in the text in numerical order. Indicate the approximate placement of each figure. Do not embed figures within the text body of the manuscript; submit figures in separate files. Colour figures will be printed free of charge.
Additional tables, figures, videos, appendices or other additional material can be submitted as Supplementary Material for online only publication. Supplementary Material data should be submitted as separate file(s) during submission. Within the text, Supplementary Material must be cited consecutively and be referred to as Supplementary Material data (e.g, see Supplementary Material, Figure 1). If the manuscript is accepted and the Supplementary Material is posted online, it will be referenced in the article of the printed version.
The authors will receive page proofs electronically. Please note that corrections should be restricted to typographical errors. Cost for extensive additional changes will be charged to the authors. Changes in the text and in the illustrations after acceptance of the manuscript cause delay and create extra cost which may be charged to the author.
