Only original papers not yet published and not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere can be accepted. When considering submission of an article to Annalen der Physik, read the General Information carefully. In case of any question, contact one of the Editors. All contributions will be refereed.
Submit your paper electronically via http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/andp/.
In the cover letter explain why your paper is appropriate for Annalen der Physik (compare General Information).
Please use the Annalen LaTeX style to prepare your manuscript!
A zip-file - last update: August 2011 - is available which contains all relevant information and files. It is strongly suggested to print and read first the readme.txt and adp-tpl.pdf files. adp-stpl.tex (short) or adp-tpl.tex (long) are useful as templates. [A medium sized template adp-basic.tex, should in fact cover most situations relevant for a paper in physics; adp-basic.tex is not included in the zip-file.]
The Editor will notify the author(s) if a manuscript does not meet editorial standards and, therefore, cannot be passed to referees. Papers submitted in paper form will not be returned to the authors.
After acceptance of the manuscript, the corresponding author will receive an acceptance message. Upon receipt of this message, all portions of the manuscript - possibly updated - have to be uploaded at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/andp/. At this moment, send also the signed Copyright Transfer Agreement to the publisher (fax: +49 (0)30 47031-399). Note that the production process will begin only after receipt of the CTA.
Please note that color figures will generally only remain in color in the electronic version, but will be printed in black/white. Color figures for the print version can be purchased using the reprint order form.
Prior to publication, authors will receive page proofs by e-mail in PDF format. Authors should keep in mind that reading proofs is their responsibility. Corrections should therefore be clear. Corrections listed in an electronic file should be sorted by line numbers. The use of standard proof correction marks is recommended.
The main aim of proofreading is to correct errors that may have occurred during the production process, and not to modify the content of the paper. The reproduction of art work, the layout of the pages, and breaks in equations introduced by the production staff should carefully be checked. Corrections that may lead to a change in the page layout should be avoided. Note that sending back a corrected manuscript file is of no use.
Please correct your galley proofs and return them within 7 days together with the completed reprint order form. The editors reserve the right to publish your article with editors' corrections if your proofs do not arrive in time.
The corresponding author will receive a PDF file (300 dpi) for 50 printouts of his contribution free of charge. Hardcopy reprints (at least 50 copies) or a pdf file (300 dpi) for an unlimited number of printouts are available for purchase.
