HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER TO JOM
JOM offers its contributors a variety of formats for articles that fall within the technical calendar topics. These formats include, but are not limited to:
• Overview: 4–8 printed pages (3,200–6,400 words). A well-referenced and
well-illustrated introduction to the issues affecting and recent developments occurring in a topical technology. The purpose is to thoroughly introduce the general
reader to the specifics of the field.
• Research Summary: 3–5 printed pages (2,400–4,000 words). These
papers outline recent, technically in-depth investigations in materials science
and technology.
• Applied Technology: 2–4 printed pages (1,600–3,200 words). These articles communicate information about advancements in commercial products or
processes and are typically submitted by industrial sources.
• Design: 2–4 printed pages (1,600–3,200 words). These articles emphasize
the application of the design process in the development of a material system,
process, or product.
• Testing and Analysis: 2–4 printed pages (1,600–3,200 words). These
articles emphasize the application of analytical techniques in the study of the
properties and/or performance of a material.
• Opinion: 1–2 printed pages (800–1,600 words). Qualified commentary by a
recognized expert on a topical or controversial issue.
• Nontechnical Feature: 2–4 printed pages (1,600–3,200 words). These
articles examine pertinent issues in education, professional affairs, and industry
economics.
• Conference Reviews: 1–4 printed pages (800–3,200 words). These articles
are synopses of technical presentations at major conferences or symposia.
• Industrial Insight: 2–5 printed pages (1,600–3,200 words). An experiencedriven description of the economic, managerial, environmental, engineering, scientific, governmental, international, competitive, etc., factors that influence technology on an industrial scale.
• Archaeotechnology: 2–4 printed pages (1,600–3,200 words). These articles
explore materials usage and development throughout history.
Authors should formally notify the editor of their publishing intent by submitting a
