THE INTERNET JOURNAL OF VIBRATIONAL SPECTROSCOPY

WEB HELP

This site was originally designed for Netscape 2 (which is available for evaluation from the Netscape home page), but is now updated using Explorer. Most browsers should receive readable copy and diagrams. If you are having any problems reading this with another browser, please let us know the nature of the problem and what browser (including version number and platform) as we would like the journal to be as widely accessible as possible.

There are a few other issues to do with the electronic format of the journal which may require clarification:

PAGE NUMBERING

It is certainly possible to publish an electronic journal in such a way that when printed to hard copy, page numbering can be maintained. To do so, however, means that readers have to use software such as Adobe Acrobat, which at present does not seem to be as widely used as web browsing software. The editorial team of the I.J.V.S. has decided to keep the presentation as simple as possible and to avoid these systems. At the moment, this means that conventional page numbering is not possible but progress on the web is such that we think that in the near future this and other problems will be lifted.

PROBLEMS PRINTING?

Some people have reported problems printing out some of the longer articles in the journal. To avoid this please ensure that the article has downloaded completely (on most browsers this is indicated by the red 'Stop' icon being greyed out) before starting to print.

You can also try adjusting Page Setup on your computer and ensure your printer prints as fuller page as possible.

FINDING REFERENCES ONLINE

See Editorial comment in Volume 3 Edition 1.

In each edition, every paper and the editorial is numbered from 1 onwards depending on how many items there are. The numbers appear on the index page of each edition. We have also given each paper it's own full reference which appears at the end of that particular piece. To look at the contents page of a particular edition, go to the Back Issues page.

This should make it easier if you wish to cite papers that have appeared in the journal, as you can just copy and paste the reference line into your own document.

Note that in each edition section 1 is always the News & Reviews section, subsequent sections are Contributed Articles.

DIAGRAMS

For viewing and printing the journal we recommend using Internet Explorer or Netscape. However, depending on the version of a browser you are using, when you print out your copy of the Journal you may find that the diagrams may roll from one page to the next. We do, however, realise that you will want all or some of the spectrograms to a high quality.[Please note that this is only done with the author's permission]. These may be downloaded in PDF format so that you may analyse the data closely. Click the [High-Resolution Spectrum] button underneath the diagram in the text to download the data for one or more diagram. The PDF (Portable Document Format) format is viewable via a free reader available from Adobe Software.
