Manuscript Deadline: January 20, 2027
Papers presented at the International Workshop on Gallium Oxide and Related Materials (IWGO 2026) meeting may be submitted for publication in the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A (JVST A), published by AVS, for the Special Topic Collection on Gallium Oxide Materials and Devices. The papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear online immediately after proof processing and published in the next open issue of JVST A and placed in the Special Topic Collection online.
Papers will be reviewed according to criteria set by the JVST and must meet JVST standards for both technical content and written English. All manuscripts are reviewed to the same standards as regular JVST submissions.
Submission Guidelines
Submit your manuscripts to the JVST A journal, chosen for your specific conference, using the journals’ online manuscript submission system, the JVST Peer X-Press site. In preparing your article, you should follow the Information for Contributors and use the article templates available on that page.
Note: acceptance to present at the conference does not guarantee the acceptance of the manuscript. To be published in JVST, the manuscript must:
- present original findings, conclusions or analysis that have not been published previously by the authors or others,
- be free of errors and ambiguities,
- support conclusions with data and analysis,
- be written clearly, and
- have high impact in its field, which must be within the scope of topics covered by the journal.
Note: Authors should select “Article” as the type of paper (not Letter, Shop Note, etc.).
It is very IMPORTANT that authors indicate to which Special Topic Collection the paper is submitted. Online, you will have an opportunity to tell us that your paper is a part of the collection by choosing ”Gallium Oxide Materials and Devices” from a drop-down list.
