Content ofmanuscript: title in Chinese, author, department, Chinese abstract, keywords (3 to 6 words), Chinese library classification, title in English, author (e. g. Zhang Hongyun), affiliation, English abstract, keywords (The number and order should be in accordance with Chinese keywords ), introduction, experimental, results and discussion, conclusions, reference. The introduction part of the body can describe directly and the title with different levels should be sorted according to the regulations. To find out more, please refer to Chinese Journal ofRare Metals Template.
Title: The title of papers should be explicit, descriptive and as brief as possible. The length of the title should be no more than 20 characters in Chinese and 200 alphabetsin English. Nonstandard symbols and abbreviations should be avoided. Mathematics and chemical formulae are also not favored. If the paper has a subhead, you can use ‘:’ to separate it from the main heading.
Authors: The number of authors in the paper should be no more than 6. The affiliation (institution) of the authors should use exact name, and use different superscripts to separate them. The sequence is: affiliation (institution) of the authors, city, zip code, country.
Abstract: The abstract should be concise and informative with a length of about 350-550 words for Chinese abstracts and no more than 1500 English characters or 150 English words for English abstracts. Don't repeat the information that has been describedin the title, neither use the critical language. The abstract should be self-contained and adequate as a summary of the article; namely, it should indicate aim and significance, newly observed facts, conclusions, and the essential parts of any new theory, treatment, apparatus, technique, etc. The abstract should not contain literature citations. Define the nonstandard symbols and abbreviations used in the abstract. Avoid “built-up” equations that cannot be rendered in linear fashion within the running text.
Key words: There should include 3-6 pieces of words that are helpful for cross-indexing the paper. And it should use full name rather than the abbreviation.
Introduction: The introduction part requires 200 to 400 words. The content of the introduction contains background, research scope, aim and method. Since the introduction of the paper provides readers with perspectives, it should be concise and brief. Results and conclusions should not appear in it.
Footers of the first page: The following information need to be specified:the date of receipt and revision date;name and approval number of project supported by the province or higher level; the brief introduction of the first author including name (year of birth -), gender, nationality, education (degree), title and research direction; correspondent, title, phone. E-mail....... The corresponding author must be person with subtropical high title or above.
1）Figures’ title (including (a), (b) bisection diagram), tablesmust be marked in English; the words in figures and tablesmust be in English;
2）Pictures and forms should be given following their illustration, do not put all of them at the end of the paper;
3）Tables should be in three-line form, horizontal line can be added when necessary,avoid vertical line in the table;
4） Ink drawingsrequireordered graphics description with uniform linein regular black ink (do not use the color line) by computer.The curve and contour line are in width of 0.35 mm (1.0 p) while the dimension line and coordinate lines are in width of 0.18 mm (0.5 P);
5）Photos or grayscale pictures should contrast with each other appropriately andbe visible brightly; metallographic photographs should be scaled, such as 5 μm;
6）The physical quantity should be noted corresponding names and symbols in each coordinate paraxial (italic) and units, such as the speed ofv /(m·s-1); for the dimensionless quantity, keep physical names and symbols only;
7）Do not put too many computer interface diagramsand the handwriting in the diagrams should be clear.Delete those interface maps which are not clear enough to be recognized.
Measurement units: All the unitsshould be legal units issued in China (international units).Please use the international system units such as 10-6, nm, T, A·m2·g-1, ml·min-1,% instead of ppm,Å,Oe, emu, sccm, pct. Spare half space between the number and the unit, such as 2 mm,; Physical quantities and units are apart with "/",such as s/mm; There is a case for composite unit : 2 m·s-1in the text, but it should bewritten as v /(m·s-1) in the chart.
The meaning of all the variables in the formulae should be stated following the formula, and the variables should be in italic forms (except pH andsubscripts (not variations)). Mathematics equations and reaction equations can be separately in different rows, and numbered by Arabia digital serial number (number of parentheses), layout in right top grid row; when there are 2 or more lines, it’s better to enter to the next line after“ =, +, -” symbols; reaction conditions should be marked on the upper or lower place of the reaction symbols and the font size should be one size smaller than the body part.
Conclusions: The summary of the pointshould be accurate, concise, complete and in order.
References:References mainly be literatures recently published (mainly continuous publication, try to avoid usingbooks) with at least 15 listed references,for reviews the number is 30. The use of others’ research viewpoints and conclusions, including data and formulae, tables, maps, and other procedures must specify the source of original documents; do not cite the second documents without reading personally; all the documents cited in literatures should be listed in the Reference according to the order in the paper, avoiding omissions and errors.
References formats:The author's name should be all recorded, avoiding the use of "other" or "etc.". The surname is signed before the name for both Chinese and foreign signature (for example: Yan C H, Smith G S); Non English references should be depicted in English.The Chinese original documents of Chinese literature should be noted in English in the brackets;year, volume number, issue number and page number all should be included.
