New for 2020: Manuscript Preparation Instructions

TMS has partnered with Springer for the publication of proceedings volumes. One of the benefits of this partnership is that authors no longer have to format their papers using strict guidelines: The Springer team will format the manuscripts for publication, and you will review a proof of the designed pages. As a result, authors are not required to use a specific template, font, or margins.

In order to assure consistency in paper length, Superalloys 2020 will utilize a word count maximum for all manuscripts. Details about the word count, as well as how to account for figures, are in the new guidelines. The word count maximum will be enforced by the reviewers. If your paper is too long, you will be asked to reduce the length.

• WORD COUNT: Manuscripts should be no more than 10,000 words. This word count includes the abstract and all references.
• SUBTRACT FOR FIGURES: Subtract 250 words for a normal two-column square figure, 500 for double height or double width figures. For example, 8,750 words plus five standard figures is equal to a 10,000-word submission. (See diagram in Appendix A of the guidelines.)
• PLACEMENT OF FIGURES: All figures should be embedded in the manuscript file as close as possible to where they should appear in the published paper. It is recommended but not mandatory that figures are also provided as separate files compressed into a single .zip file, which can be uploaded along with your manuscript.

PDF manuscript submissions will not be accepted. Manuscripts should be submitted in either Microsoft Word or LaTeX (file type .tex).

Publication is required for all presenters, both oral and interactive (poster). If you know that you will be unable to provide a manuscript, please notify us now so that we may give another author the opportunity to publish and present.

The deadline for all manuscript submissions is Friday, February 7, 2020.

Meeting registrants will receive free access to the proceedings e-book, which will be available immediately prior to the conference. Springer will distribute the publication after the event (online and in print).
