ICMCTF 2012! - CD-Lab Application Oriented Coating Development

At the focus topic, from the experience of Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum in vacuum technology, components and a
wide range of coating systems for more than 162 years, general aspects of vacuum and applications for thin film
coatings will be reviewed. Requirements for different coating applications from the process point of view and
vacuum roles for various thin film coating systems and applications will be discussed. The advantages and disadvantages
of different vacuum techniques will be explained for thin film coatings and systems. Material handling
and safety at coating systems will be reviewed with process materials. Some system examples from Oerlikon
Leybold Vacuum with vacuum selections will be presented.
For coating system and pump discussions during the ICMCTF Exhibition, visit our Booth #219.

Elsevier Referee and Reviewer Workshop
Professor Allan Matthews
Editor of the Journal Surface & Coatings Technology
Jan Willem Wijnen
Publisher Elsevier
Writing papers and getting published is an essential part of scientific research and scientific journals are the backbone
of science. But besides authors, reviewers play a key role in building scientific knowledge, because they
advise journal editors whether or not to publish a paper.
Being a reviewer is not just acting as inspector, it is also helping your colleagues to publish a better paper, by pointing
out weaknesses in the manuscript, suggesting additional views, strengthen the argument and spot errors. As a
reviewer for a journal you are in a position to help fellow-researchers and play an important role in the advancing
science. Moreover, you will learn a lot from reviewing papers and may be the first to hear about important new
findings.
Do you want to become a reviewer for journals?
The workshop consists of a presentation about the publishing process and the fundamentals of the review process.
During the second part of the workshop a real manuscript will be reviewed and the outcome will be discussed.
The workshop is intended for young scientists who have the ambition to become a regular reviewer for journals.
They should have recently obtained their PhD-degree (or be close to graduating with their degree) and have
(co-)authored at least three refereed journal papers.
Interested candidates should send their CV, (expected) date of graduation and publication list to Jan Willem Wijnen
(j.wijnen@elsevier.com). There will be a maximum number of participants (based on first-come-first-serve) and
qualified candidates will be notified immediately after they have applied.
Very limited spaces are available, please contact Jan Willem Wijnen for any additional information and to register.
Please visit the Elsevier Booth #210 in the Exhibition Hall.
