Manuscripts of papers presented at AVS-sponsored conferences and symposia and being submitted to JVST B should be sent to the Guest Editor appointed for that particular conference. Before preparing a manuscript, authors should read "Information for Contributors", printed in the first issue of each volume of the journal. Submission of a manuscript is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously nor currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Upon receipt of a manuscript the Editor will send the author a Transfer of Copyright Agreement form. This must be completed by the author and returned only to the Editorial Office prior to publication of an accepted paper in the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B. This written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the 1978 copyright law in order for the AVS and AIP to continue disseminating research results as widely as possible. Further information may be obtained from AIP.

Publication Charge: To support the cost of wide dissemination of research results through publication of journal pages and production of a data base of articles, the author's institution is requested to pay a page charge of $85.00 per page without reprints or $95.00 per page with 100 free reprints. For Errata the minimum page charge is $10, with no free reprints. AIP's Electronic Physics Auxiliary Publication Service (E-PAPS) is a low-cost depository for material that is part of and supplementary to a published paper, but is too long to be included in the journal. Inquire of the Editor.
