International Congress on Glass 2010
Paper Submission
CALL FOR PAPERS
Any paper presented at the IGC 2010 which deals with optical glasses or optical properties of glasses or glass-ceramics may be submitted to a special issue of Optical Materials.
The Elsevier Editorial System (EES) is ready for submission for the special issue of OPTICAL MATERIALS: ICG 2010
the journal’s submission, review and decision process is managed entirely online using the EES.
The EES for this journal is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/om/default.asp
To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, it is important that authors select SPECIAL ISSUE: ICG 2010 when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Failure to do so will cause the papers to go unrecognized as belonging to this special issue.
The Journal Manager will make sure that the special issue is published both online and in print. I also provide assistance in the editorial process.
