Global business with offices around the world. Elsevier serves a global network of: Its products reach more than 12 million researchers in 4,500 institutions, 5 million students, and 15 million doctors, nurses and health professionals.http:/www.elsevier.com/ http:/china.elsevier.com.Journals.EditorsEditorial Board Members.ReviewersAuthors2,000 7,00070,000 300,000 600,000Why Publish?To register the Originality- that they were the first to discover the answer to a problem. This helps to establish a name for themselves in their community. Scientists publish the details of important experiments so that others can try to reproduce the results and their work can be repeated and/or their experimental procedures can be reviewed.To inform other scientists working in the same discipline. So these colleagues can either stop looking, incorporate this new finding in their own analysis, or move onto the next stage of the problem. To promote peer review and comment. Everyone is blind to their own faults. Different eyes may see problems that the first researcher has missed526%OthersShare of Journal Articles PublishedOver one million English language research articles published globally each yearOur Scientific DisciplinesAbout 1000 English language research articles published with Elsevier todayElsevierSpringerWiley-BlackwellACSTaylor Supercritical CO2; Solar energy; Solar thermal utilization Introduction You are telling a story. Introduction sets the scenario. Do not attempt to summarize the whole field (it is not possible!) Quote what is necessary for background and to give credit to previous works. Do not add superfluous references. Editors may choose reviewers from cited work39Introduction is especially important!A high proportion of “lack of novelty” rejections are made after reading abstract, introduction and conclusions. IntroductionProvide context to convince readers that you clearly know why your work is useful Be brief Clearly address the following: What is the problem? Are there any existing solutions? Which solution is the best? What is its main limitation? What do you hope to achieve? Try to be consistent with the nature of the journalSample 1st paragraph of an IntroductionZhang, XR; Yamaguchi, H. “An experimental study on evacuated tube solar collector using supercritical CO2” Applied Thermal Engineering Elsevier41Describe how the problem was studied Include detailed information Do not describe previously published procedures Identify the equipment and describe materials usedMethodsSample 1st paragraph of an Experimental Set-Up sectionZhang, XR; Yamaguchi, H. “An experimental study on evacuated tube solar collector using supercritical CO2” Applied Thermal Engineering ElsevierResults what have you found? Tell a clear and easy-to-understand story. RED THREAD Be structured (sub-headings) The following should be included: The main findings Thus not all findings (Add Supplementary Materials for data of secondary importance) Findings from experiments described in the Methods section Highlight findings that differ from findings in previous publications, and unexpected findings Results of the statistical analysis“One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words“ Sue Hanauer (1968)Results Figures and tables Illustrations are critical, because Figures and tables are the most efficient way to present results and; Results are the driving force of the publication Captions and legends must be detailed enough to make figures and tables self- explanatory No duplication of results described in text or other illustrations44DiscussionWhat the results mean Most important section Make the Discussion correspond to the Results You need to compare published results with yoursSample 1st paragraph of an Discussion sectionMuite, B.K., Quinn, S.F., Sundaresan, S., Rao, K.K “Silo music and silo quake: granular flow-induced vibration” Powder Technology. ElsevierConclusionHow the work advances the field from the present state of knowledge Should be clear Justify your work in the research field Suggest future experimentsSample ConclusionMuite, B.K., Quinn, S.F., Sundaresan, S., Rao, K.K “Silo music and silo quake: granular flow-induced vibration” Powder Technology. Elsevier Do not use too many references Always ensure you have fully absorbed material you are referencing and do not just rely on checking excerpts or isolated sentences Avoid excessive self-citations Avoid excessive citations of publications from the same region Conform strictly to the style given in the Guide for Authors
