Advances in X-ray Analysis is an annual series of the Denver X-ray Conference proceedings. Presenters, in both oral and poster sessions, were encouraged to submit manuscripts of the work they presented at the conference.
Presenters have the opportunity to showcase their research by submitting their 2024 DXC presented paper in the conference proceedings, Advances in X-ray Analysis, Volume 68. Work presented during either an oral session or poster session was eligible for submission.
Note: To be acceptable for publication, papers should describe either new methods, theory and applications, improvements in methods or instrumentation, or other advances in the state of the art. Papers emphasizing commercial aspects are discouraged.
Volume 67, Advances in X-ray Analysis, proceedings from 2023 DXC, is now available on CD-ROM. The CD contains 13 manuscripts, featuring the work of leading scientists in the field of X-ray materials analysis. Also included on the CD-ROM is a searchable cumulative title index for Volumes 1-66; a fast and efficient way to navigate through 66 volumes of proceedings.

The Proceedings of the 73rd Annual Denver X-ray Conference, Advances in X-ray Analysis, Volume 68, will be produced online by ICDD. Select papers will also be chosen for publication in the journal, Powder Diffraction. The Proceedings will also be published on the ICDD website (www.icdd.com). If you intend to publish your manuscript in the proceedings, the following information will apply.
Authors are responsible for preparing the manuscript in readable English. Manuscripts too difficult to read will be returned to the authors without review. If necessary, it may be advisable to have your manuscript reviewed by a translation service prior to submission.
ABSTRACT: A one-paragraph abstract must accompany each paper. The abstract should state briefly, in no more than 250 words, the main conclusion and the principal numerical results.
ORIGINAL SUBMISSION
The deadline for manuscript submission has been extended to 10 October 2024. Please email an electronic version of your manuscript as an attached file created in Microsoft®Word to: dxc@icdd.com.
If the contact author is not the person emailing the file, please provide in your email the contact author’s name, affiliation and email address.
NAMING THE ORIGINAL FILE
Your file name should include your abstract code, contact author’s last name, and the word “original”. For example: C29 Blanton Original.doc
CONFIRMATION OF SUBMISSION
An email confirmation will be sent to you within 48 business hours of your submission. If you do not receive a confirmation, please contact the ICDD Conference Services Department at: dxc@icdd.com or phone: 610-325-9814, as soon as possible.
REVIEW

SELECT PAPERS FOR THE JOURNAL, POWDER DIFFRACTION
If your paper is selected for publication in the journal, Powder Diffraction, you will be contacted by the Managing Editor of Powder Diffraction, Nicole Ernst, with instructions for re-submitting the manuscript for the journal.
EDITORS’ RIGHTS
The editors reserve the right to reject a manuscript or have it retyped at the authors’ expense if it has not been submitted in reasonable conformity with the required style or if grammatical errors are excessive. We also reserve the editors’ right to withhold the publication of a paper whose technical quality is, in our judgment, not in keeping with the objectives of the volume, or a paper that significantly exceeds the recommended length. Papers containing excessive commercial content will be rejected.
ASSIGNMENT OF COPYRIGHT
Submission of a manuscript is the authors’ representation that it has not been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. A Publishing Agreement has been emailed to you as a separate file, and is also available here.
FORMAT
FONT: Times or Times New Roman in 12 pt size (unless otherwise noted)
MARGINS: 1 inch (2.5 cm) margin on all sides.
LAYOUT:
TITLE
Uppercase (except where lowercase letters are needed for clarity), bold, 14 pt font size, centered.
Author(s) Name(s) and Affiliations
Mixed upper and lowercase, 12 pt font size, centered. Authors from different affiliations should be footnoted, with each footnote corresponding to the appropriate affiliation. Leave two spaces before beginning the abstract.ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION, EXPERIMENTAL, RESULTS, REFERENCES, AND OTHER SUBHEADINGS:
Uppercase, bold, 12 pt font size, left-justified.Important: All papers must include details (not a general statement) on how the specimen(s), discussed in the paper, was prepared.
TEXT STYLE: Text should appear flush left; do not indent. Line spacing must be sufficiently large to allow the manuscript to be easily read, including subscripts and superscripts, Greek symbols, etc. A blank line is recommended between paragraphs.
FIGURES: All characters on figures must be clearly legible and absolutely no smaller than 1.5 mm high.
GRAPHICS, FIGURES, TABLES AND EQUATIONS: All MUST BE embedded in the text – not linked or placed at the end of the document! If they are not embedded in the text, the manuscript will not be accepted. Please be sure to use standard fonts!
PAGE NUMBERS: Do not include page numbers on your manuscript. The publisher will add the official page numbers when producing the CDROM.
REFERENCES
References must be cited in text using the author’s last name and year of publication (do not use the numerical format). For example, a reference with one author would be cited in text like this: (de Wolff, 1968); with two authors: (Smith and Snyder, 1979); with three or more authors: (McMurdie et al., 1986). Use a semicolon (;) to separate multiple references in the same sentence: (de Wolff, 1968; Smith and Snyder, 1979; McMurdie et al., 1986). If you mention the authors name as part of the sentence, then only the year is in parenthesis: McMurdie et al. (1986).
In referring to two or more of the same author’s works published in the same year, distinguish between them in text and in the references list with a lowercase letter after the year (2000a, 2000b, 2000c…). This is important so the reader knows exactly which citation is being referenced. The citation noted as “a” is the one that comes before “b” in the references list in proper order—it is not necessarily the first one cited in text.

References must include the title of any journal or book article and must be listed alphabetically by the last name of the first author in a separate section at the end of the text. The order of presentation generally should be author(s)’ last names, including the initials of given names, year of publication, article title, journal, volume, and inclusive pages.
