Abstract (format: 10pt Times New Roman, Bold Letters)

The abstract should be written in the past tense, because it refers to work which

was already done. Any equations and references are not allowed. It must state

the main object, scope, findings, describe the methodology, summarize of the
Acta Metallurgica Slovaca, Vol. xx, 20xx, p. x-xx 2

results and state of the principal conclusions. The abstract must be minimally

with 100 words.

General

The manuscript must be written in English. Your manuscript will be used as a

camera-ready document. It must therefore be clean, with no smudges, erasure

marks, pencil-or ink-corrections, creases or tears.

Use section titles for a clear structuring and an easy understanding of the text.

The manuscript should be divided into sections (and subsections, if necessary).

For example:

1 Introduction

1.1 Subsection text numbering

2 Experimental material(s) and methods

3 Results

4 Discussion

5 Conclusion

6 References

2 Types of contributions (format: 10pt Times New Roman, Bold Letters)

Acta Metallurgica Slovaca, Vol. xx, 20xx, p. x-xx 4

(1) Research papers: reporting experimental or theoretical research within the

scope of our journal.

(2) Review papers: examining the position in a topic of current interest.

(3) Technical notes: providing a rapid publication route for preliminary

announcements of the results of current work, or short accounts of new

techniques; typically 1000 words in length.

(4) Communications: conference reports, news from research institutes,

commentaries etc.

Papers of type (1) and (2) are reviewed by 1 of members of the Editorial Board

and further Reviewer will be select from list of potential Reviewers suggested

by corresponding author. Corresponding author suggest names, addresses, and

email addresses of 3 experts (minimum) in the subject of paper who are not

members of the editorial board of the journal, are not from author institution and

at least two of whom must be from a different country from author. Note that the

editor retains the sole right to decide whether or not the suggested reviewers are

used.

2.1 Manuscript format (format: 10pt Times New Roman, Bold Letters)
Acta Metallurgica Slovaca, Vol. xx, 20xx, p. x-xx 5

Manuscripts should be typed on B5 paper, double spaced and Times New

Roman 10pt font should be used, with 2.5 cm margins (for bottom with 3 cm)

for the whole document on numbered pages.

The maximum length of manuscript is 10 pages.

The main title (less than 10 words, format: 10pt Times New Roman, Bold

Capital Letters), lists of authors and affiliations (format: 10pt, Times New

Roman, Italic, Full Name, Numbering), Section titles and Subsection titles

(format: 10pt Times New Roman, Bold Letters) and Text (format: 10pt Times

New Roman).

Use the SI - metric system for units and all quantitative data. The values and SI

unit present separately. Temperature in Kelvin is preferred where

thermodynamics are being discussed, otherwise degrees Celsius are obligatory.

Time in Hours (Minutes) is preferred where heat treatments are being discussed,

otherwise Seconds are obligatory.

Equations

Equations must be prepared in Equation Editor for Word. Type mathematical and chemical

equations have to exactly as they should appear in print. All new symbols must be listed and

defined immediately after each equation, as follows:

Q
Z exp D (1.)
R T
Acta Metallurgica Slovaca, Vol. xx, 20xx, p. x-xx 6

where: Z [s-1] - Zener-Hollomonov parameter

[s-1] - strain rate

QD [kJ/mol] - activation energy of deformation

R [kJ/(Kmol)] - universal gas constant

T [K] - temperature

Figures and Tables

Figures and tables must be numbered with Arabic numerals with clear and brief captions. The

captions are placed below figures and above tables. Results are presented in Fig. 1 and in Table

1. Accepted are original photographs and printouts of good quality (minimum 300 dpi) and in an

acceptable format (TIFF, JPG save at maximum file size) with width dimensions 8 cm, 6 cm or 4

cm. All figures will be printed black and white. Please indicate your preference for colour on the

web side only.
