Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

The Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology publishes articles focused on the scientific advancements and technical developments in photopolymers.

The following types of papers are accepted:

  • General Papers
  • Communications (short submissions of 4–6 pages presenting new results; these may be republished in more detail later)
  • Technical Papers
  • Reviews

Key Points for Manuscript Preparation:

  1. Manuscripts must be written in English.
