Please Note: For publication purposes an MSWord or TeX file of the text will be needed. The figures will need to each be in separate files (not embedded) and in one of the following formats: PostScript, EPS, or TIFF files. Once a paper is accepted the author should have these file formats ready to send to the AVS Editorial Office - Biointerphases.

Transfer of Copyright Agreement
Upon receipt of a manuscript the Editor will send the author a Transfer of Copyright Agreement form. This must be completed by the author and returned only to the Editorial Office prior to publication of an accepted paper in Biointerphases. This written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the 1978 copyright law in order for the AVS and AIP to continue disseminating research results as widely as possible.

Further information may be obtained from AIP.
