limited availability* are not desirable. However, they will be permitted when the use results in a saving of page space or is required for proper recognition. In these matters the author's judgment must be supported by the review committee and editor. The report should be available on request. Such items will then fall into two categories: (a) They may be cited the same as "private communications" or "unpublished research." (b) They may be cited as (1) and should include the source from which the reader may obtain the information. Example: J. J. Doe: Report No. 738, AAA Company, Washington, D. C., January 1970. 5. References of the type "to be published" or "submitted for publication" should be listed as: (a) The same as (3) "private communication" or "unpublished research" if it is not likely that the proper reference will be available when the author checks proof. (b) The same as (1) a normal reference t o the technical literature if it is believed that the correct listing will be supplied when the author checks proof. 6. No other references will be published. *Not available by subscription.
GUIDELINES F O R PUBLICATION O F SYMPOSIUM P A P E R S IN METALLURGICAL TRANSACTIONS There are special situations when it is desirable to publish a group of papers concurrently in METALLURGICAL TRANSACTIONS. Typically, these arise when a technical committee has organized a limited meeting program of two or three half-day sessions on a particular theme. The material is high quality and closely correlated but not sufficient to justify an independent monograph or proceedings-type publication. A high percentage of these would normally be published as METALLURGICAL TRANSACTIONS papers, but the authors and committees feel there is an additional benefit from concurrent publication. The following guidelines have been set up: 1. The material should be limited t o the order of 10 t o 15 papers so that it will never preempt a particular issue. 2. No group will be assigned to any particular issue in advance. This will provide minimum interference with the normal publication schedule. 3. The committee responsible for the program t o be published must receive advance approval of the charges. See items 4 and 5 which follow. This approval will be from the Joint Commission. These plans and a request for their approval should be submitted to the Editor's Office for transmission t o the Joint Commission. 4.Page Charges. The responsible committee must make some provision to guarantee all relevant page charges. This may be distributed among the authors involved or provided from any other source available t o the committee. 5. Review Procedure. This must be the primary responsibility of some member of the committee who acts as "key reader" for the papers involved. Preferably, he will have had prior experience on the Board of Review and will carry out the review so as t o conform to accepted policy of this Board. The final reviewers' reports recommending publication should be forwarded t o the Editor's Office. The author will receive final approva
