Manuscript Preparation and Submission Guidelines

High quality papers presented to the ISFNT-11 will be published in a special edition of the International Journal “Fusion Engineering and Design” edited by Elsevier after a peer review.

The entire submission and review process of this journal is handled electronically using the Elsevier Editorial System (EES). For this reason all the authors of the papers accepted for the ISFNT conference have to do an extra registration to this electronic editorial system that differs from the ISFNT-11 database used for the abstract submission. Of course only the papers corresponding to the accepted abstracts will be taken into consideration for the publication process.

Manuscripts of accepted contributions must be submitted by August 31th 2013 to allow for peer review processing.

All papers should be submitted electronically through
http://ees.elsevier.com/fusengdes/default.asp. Authors submit their papers online by simply registering, logging on and submitting. For this special edition of “Fusion Engineering and Design”, the special issue (“ISFNT 11”) and the name of the Guest Editor (Dr. Angel Ibarra) should be indicated.

All correspondence, including notification of the editor's decision and requests for revisions, is done by e-Mail and via the Author's homepage, removing the need for hard copy.

Instruction and assistance for the online submission is available at the conference web site http://www.isfnt-11.org. The submitted manuscripts have to be written in English, and should bear the name(s) and full affiliation(s) of the author(s) as well as the mailing address, phone and fax numbers, and e-Mail address of the corresponding author. The length of the papers (invited, poster and oral) is up to 5 journal pages. Some papers, by the nature of their content, may need extra space and up to 8 journal pages can be considered in exceptional cases. Please note: if the manuscript exceeds the indicated journal pages, the author(s) will have to pay the extra charge of €200/page (two hundred euros per each extra journal page).

You may use the paper template to ensure you meet the page limits.

Please note that the journal is printed in black and white, no colours.
