Instructions for Authors 1 Manuscript Submission 2 Manuscript Preparation 3 Detailed Formatting Instructions 4 Review Process 5 After Acceptance 6 Ethical Responsibilities of Authors 7 Authorship Principles 8 Compliance with Ethical Standards 9 Competing Interests 1 Manuscript Submission Legal requirements Submission of a manuscript to Friction implies: that the work described has not been published before in any format including in languages other than English; that is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its submission and publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation. Permission Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or texts that have already been published elsewhere (including the authors’ own previous papers) are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner (the publisher of the journal, not the authors of the paper) and to state clearly in the figure/table caption or other appropriate locations in the manuscript that such permission has been obtained. For example: Reproduced with permission from Ref. [XX], © Copyright-holder Copyright-year. Any content received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors. It is the authors’ responsibility to retain an electronic or hardcopy of the permission. Online Submission Authors must submit their manuscripts online via the Friction ScholarOne Manuscripts™ website at: https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/friction. When submitting your manuscript, please make sure that the following items have been prepared as carefully as possible according to this Instruction:  Cover letter.  Manuscript containing title page, abstract and keywords, and main body.  Author biography and graphical abstract. 2 Manuscript Preparation Language The Journal’s language is English. Either British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but the system chosen should be followed consistently throughout the manuscript. We request that the language is corrected before submission. Submissions with unsatisfactory English writing will be returned without review. Length of manuscripts There are no strict limits on the number of published pages for both research and review articles. Nevertheless, authors are asked to make the manuscript as concise as possible and to limit to less than 40 manuscript pages. Text formatting For submission in Microsoft Word, use a normal, plain font (e.g., 12 point Times New Roman), double space line, and one column for text. Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages. Do not use field functions. Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar. Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables. Use the equation editor or MathType for equations. Note: If you use Word 2007, do not create the equations with the default equation editor but use MathType instead. 3 Detailed Formatting Instructions Please follow this order to type the manuscript: title page, abstract, keywords, main text (including tables and figures), appendix (if necessary), acknowledgements, declaration of competing interest, references, author biography and graphical abstract, and electronic supplementary material (if necessary). Title page. The title page should contain: (i) a concise and informative title; (ii) the name(s) of the author(s); (iii) the affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s); and (iv) the E-mail address(es) of the author(s). Abstract. A concise and factual abstract not exceeding 250 words must be provided with each manuscript. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. No footnotes, references, figures, or tables may appear in the abstract. Keywords. Please provide 4 to 6 keywords which can be used for indexing purposes. Heading/section levels (numbered). For regular research papers and review articles, please use the decimal system of headings. Please divide your manuscript into clearly defined and numbered sections and subsections. Sections should be numbered 1, 2, etc. (The abstract is not included in section numbering). Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2 …), 1.2, etc. Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to “the text”. Each section and subsection should be given a brief heading and each heading should appear on its own separate line. For short papers, no section levels are needed. Footnotes. Essential footnotes to the text should be numbered consecutively and placed at the bottom of the page to which they refer. Footnotes to the table should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks) and placed immediately below the table. Formulae and symbols. Formulae, symbols, and all subscripts, superscripts, Greek letters, and other characters must be legible and carefully checked. Standard mathematical notation should be used. All symbols used in manuscript must be explained. If necessary, a list of symbols may be provided and placed before the Introduction section. Equations. Numbering consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text), and referring the equation with Eq. (1), Eq. (2) … in the text. For the simple formulae which appear in the line of normal text, please use solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., x/y. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by “exp”. In principle, variables should be presented in italics. Figures. All digital arts, including micrographs, line arts, and grayscale images, included in the manuscript should be supplied in a separate electronic file in TIFF, EPS, or JPEG format with a preferred resolution of 600 dpi relative to the final figure size. All figures should be numbered using Arab numerals (figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters) and supplied with a figure caption. Please make sure that all elements found in the figure are identified in the caption. Figures should always be cited in text, such as Fig. 1, Fig. 2 … in consecutive numerical order. Color figures will remain in color in both the printed version and the online version of the journal, at no cost. The authors are encouraged to use color figures in the submitted manuscript. Tables. All tables should be numbered using Arab numerals and supplied with a table title which explains clearly and concisely the components of the table. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript (for example, in figures). Tables should always be cited in the text, such as Table 1, Table 2 … in consecutive numerical order. Units. Please follow internationally accepted rules and conventions such as those defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). If other units are mentioned, please give their equivalent in supplementary information. Abbreviations. Abbreviations should be used only if deemed absolutely necessary, and should be defined at first mention in the abstract and again in the main body of the text and used consistently thereafter. Appendix. An appendix, if needed, is presented without numbers. If there are two or more appendices, they should be numbered consecutively. Equations in appendices should be designated differently from those in the main body of the manuscript, e.g., (A1), (A2), etc. In each appendix equations should be numbered separately. Acknowledgements. Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc., should be placed in a separate section before the References section. The name of funding organizations should be written in full. Do not include acknowledgements on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. Declaration of competing interest. Authors are required to disclose financial or non-financial interests that are directly or indirectly related to the work submitted for publication. Please refer to “Competing Interests” below for more information on how to complete this section. Please note: If no conflict exists and no ethics approval required, the authors should state: Compliance with ethical standards Declaration of competing interest The authors have no competing interests to declare that are relevant to the content of this article. Ethical approval This study does not contain any studies with human or animal subjects performed by any of the authors. Citations & references. Citations to the literature are cited by number in square brackets at appropriate locations (before a period, comma, etc.) in the text. Examples: (a) Two different models were proposed for the description of adhesion in contact, Johnson–Kendal–Roberts (JKR) model [1] and Derjaguin–Muller–Toporov (DMT) model [2]. (b) Metal nanoparticles as lubrication additives have been widely studied [3–6, 8]. (c) Similar phenomena on the friction were observed by Ruan and Bhushan [5, 7, 9]. The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Papers accepted for publication are cited as “in press” and their DOIs. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list. References are compiled in a numbered list in the order of their first citation in the text. Each numbered reference may contain only one literature citation. Please ensure references are given in the correct format, including titles of journal articles/book chapters with initial and final page numbers, in order to avoid delays in typesetting your article.

If Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM) is submitted, it will be published as received from the author in the online version only. ESM may consist of: (i) information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings; (ii) information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.; (iii) large amounts of original data, e.g., additional tables, illustrations, etc. If supplying any ESM, the text must make specific mention of the material as a citation, similar to that of figures and tables (e.g., Fig. S1 in the ESM). Besides, a paragraph should be added before the “References” section (e.g., Electronic Supplementary Material: Supplementary material (add a brief description) is available in the online version of this article). 4 Review Process The Journal follows a single-blind reviewing procedure. The benefit of single-blind peer review is that it is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.  After submission, manuscript will be checked by the handling editor. At this stage, a decision of "Reject without review" would be made if the submission does not meet the guidelines set out in this document. In principle, the authors may re-submit the manuscript after carefully revising according to the guidelines.  Articles are automatically checked for text overlap. Those with high overlap scores are scrutinized by the handling editor and may be rejected without further review.  Editor-in-Chief or a handling editor assigned, has sole discretion on whether to send the article for peer review or reject it without further review. Unsolicited articles are evaluated by fit with the mission statement of the Journal, perceived quality and novelty of the work, potential interest to the Journal's readership, the standard of presentation (including the standard of technical written English and the quality of figures).  Around four referees will be invited for peer review. When a submission has at least two (or one in exceptional cases) useable reports, the editor will use the referees' comments to decide whether to accept the manuscript for publication, return it for revision, or reject it.  Infrequently, after several rounds of invitations to peer reviewers, a submission will receive no reports. In these cases, the submission may be rejected at the editor's discretion.  Except in the cases of academic malpractice, only the corresponding author may request to withdraw a submission that is under consideration.  Resubmission of a rejected manuscript is possible only with the explicit permission of the handling editor. 5 After Acceptance Article publishing agreement Depending on the ownership of the Journal and its policies, you will either grant the Publisher an exclusive licence to publish the article or will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. Proof reading The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables, and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title, and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor-in-Chief. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article. Online first The article will be published online after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the paper can also be cited by issue and page numbers. 6 Ethical Responsibilities of Authors This journal is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific record. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the journal will follow the COPE guidelines on how to deal with potential acts of misconduct. Authors should refrain from misrepresenting research results which could damage the trust in the journal, the professionalism of scientific authorship, and ultimately the entire scientific endeavor. Maintaining integrity of the research and its presentation is helped by following the rules of good scientific practice, which include: • The manuscript should not be submitted to more than one journal for simultaneous consideration. • The submitted work should be original and should not have been published elsewhere in any form or language (partially or in full), unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work. (Please provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the concerns about text-recycling (‘self-plagiarism’). • A single study should not be split up into several parts to increase the quantity of submissions and submitted to various journals or to one journal over time (i.e., ‘salami-slicing/publishing’). • Concurrent or secondary publication is sometimes justifiable, provided certain conditions are met. Examples include: translations or a manuscript that is intended for a different group of readers. • Results should be presented clearly, honestly, and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation (including image based manipulation). Authors should adhere to discipline-specific rules for acquiring, selecting and processing data. • No data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the author’s own (‘plagiarism’). Proper acknowledgements to other works must be given (this includes material that is closely copied (near verbatim), summarized and/or paraphrased), quotation marks (to indicate words taken from another source) are used for verbatim copying of material, and permissions secured for material that is copyrighted. Important note: the journal may use software to screen for plagiarism. • Authors should make sure they have permissions for the use of software, questionnaires/(web) surveys and scales in their studies (if appropriate). • Research articles and non-research articles (e.g., Review, Short Communication, and Comment Articles) must cite appropriate and relevant literature in support of the claims made. Excessive and inappropriate self-citation or coordinated efforts among several authors to collectively self-cite is strongly discouraged. • Authors should avoid untrue statements about an entity (who can be an individual person or a company) or descriptions of their behavior or actions that could potentially be seen as personal attacks or allegations about that person. • Research that may be misapplied to pose a threat to public health or national security should be clearly identified in the manuscript (e.g., dual use of research). Examples include creation of harmful consequences of biological agents or toxins, disruption of immunity of vaccines, unusual hazards in the use of chemicals, weaponization of research/technology (amongst others). • Authors are strongly advised to ensure the author group, the Corresponding Author, and the order of authors are all correct at submission. Adding and/or deleting authors during the revision stages is generally not permitted, but in some cases may be warranted. Reasons for changes in authorship should be explained in detail. Please note that changes to authorship cannot be made after acceptance of a manuscript. Upon request authors should be prepared to send relevant documentation or data in order to verify the validity of the results presented. This could be in the form of raw data, samples, records, etc. Sensitive information in the form of confidential or proprietary data is excluded. If there is suspicion of misbehavior or alleged fraud the Journal and/or Publisher will carry out an investigation following COPE guidelines. If, after investigation, there are valid concerns, the author(s) concerned will be contacted under their given e-mail address and given an opportunity to address the issue. Depending on the situation, this may result in the Journal’s and/or Publisher’s implementation of the following measures, including, but not limited to: • If the manuscript is still under consideration, it may be rejected and returned to the author. • If the article has already been published online, depending on the nature and severity of the infraction: - an erratum/correction may be placed with the article, - an expression of concern may be placed with the article, - or in severe cases retraction of the article may occur. The reason will be given in the published erratum/correction, expression of concern or retraction note. Please note that retraction means that the article is maintained on the platform, watermarked “retracted” and the explanation for the retraction is provided in a note linked to the watermarked article. • The author’s institution may be informed. • A notice of suspected transgression of ethical standards in the peer review system may be included as part of the author’s and article’s bibliographic record. Fundamental errors Authors have an obligation to correct mistakes once they discover a significant error or inaccuracy in their published article. The author(s) is/are requested to contact the Journal and explain in what sense the error is impacting the article. A decision on how to correct the literature will depend on the nature of the error. This may be a correction or retraction. The retraction note should provide transparency which parts of the article are impacted by the error. Suggesting/excluding reviewers Authors are welcome to suggest suitable reviewers and/or request the exclusion of certain individuals when they submit their manuscripts. When suggesting reviewers, authors should make sure they are totally independent and not connected to the work in any way. It is strongly recommended to suggest a mix of reviewers from different countries and different institutions. When suggesting reviewers, the Corresponding Author must provide an institutional email address for each suggested reviewer, or, if this is not possible to include other means of verifying the identity such as a link to a personal homepage, a link to the publication record or a researcher or author ID in the submission letter. Please note that the Journal may not use the suggestions, but suggestions are appreciated and may help facilitate the peer review process
