《物理评论》杂志要求作者遵守篇幅准则。每一份手稿的长度在提交时自动计数。如果这一数字表明文章的长度超过了杂志的限制,就会更仔细地计算长度。在评审之前,作者将被要求缩短超长稿件。篇幅限制适用于手稿的所有版本。一旦文章被接收,手稿的长度可能会被重新评估,并可能在发表前要求削减。
具体的长度计算细节如下:
PR系列文章中,通常用来计算稿件长度的公式为:
总字数=文章字数+公式+图片+表格
注意:在PR系列文章中,公式、图片和表格都会被换算成字数最终计入总字数。
如果你的文章总字数被编辑告知超出要求字数,请自行按照下面两个表给出的计算方法自行重新计算调整。
| Guidelines For Letters and Short Papers, Including Comments | |
|---|---|
| Text | Include |
| Displayed Math | The word equivalent for displayed math is 16 words per row for single-column equations. Two-column equations count as 32 words per row. |
| Figures | To estimate the word equivalent for figures use the figure’s aspect ratio (width / height). The estimate is [(150 / aspect ratio) + 20 words] for single-column figures, and [300 / (0.5 * aspect ratio)] + 40 words for double-column figures. |
| Tables | The word equivalent for tables is 13 words plus 6.5 words per line for single-column tables. Double-column tables count as 26 words plus 13 words per line. |
| Guidelines For PRX and Review Articles in PRApplied, PRMaterials, and RMP | |
|---|---|
| Text | Include |
| Displayed Math | The word equivalent for displayed math is 16 words per row for single-column equations. Two-column equations count as 32 words per row. |
| Figures | The word equivalent for figures is 170 words per figure for single-column figures. Two-column figures count as 340 words per figure. |
| Tables | The word equivalent for tables is 13 words plus 6.5 words per line for single-column tables. Double-column tables count as 26 words plus 13 words per line. |
假设你要投PRB的letter文章,你的文章总字数需要在4500字以下,即:
4500>= 文章字数+公式+图片+表格
文章字数由三部分组成,文章正文(不包含题目和摘要部分,纯正文),图和表的说明以及脚注和尾注。
通常这部分可以通过删除不需要的部分通过word或者Latex计数,
公式的计数方法:
一般PR系列文章是双列排版,公式如果为单列排版,每行等价于16个词,如果是双列排版(即占两列),每行等价于32个词。
图片的计数方法:
使用图片的宽高比(宽度/高度)来估计单词数量的等效值。 单列图估计为[(150 /宽高比)+ 20个单词],双列图估计为[300 /(0.5 *宽高比)]+ 40个单词。
表格的计数方法:
对于单列表对应的单词是13个单词加上每行6.5个单词。对于 双列表是26个单词加上每行13个单词。
