Most important to note is the request for your manuscript to be printed with font size = 12 pt and with double line spacing. Figures should be provided in enlarged format, each printed on a separate page at the end of the manuscript. Before submitting them we recommend that you use a photocopier to make a test reduction (to 8 cm final width) to check that the lines are sufficiently thick and the labels sufficiently large.

Once your manuscript has been submitted, you will receive an acknowledgement of its arrival in the Metrologia office. You will also be sent a Copyright transfer form to be signed and returned. This copyright transfer form will only take effect if and when your manuscript is accepted for publication in the journal; however, you will need to complete the form as soon as possible after submission.

Once your manuscript is accepted, we will request an MS Word or LaTeX version to facilitate its composition into page proofs.
