Most-cited papers in Journal of Scientific Instruments

The Cascade Impactor: An Instrument for Sampling Coarse Aerosols

K. R. May · 1 Oct 1945

A new instrument is described which will sample windborne and stationary aerosols such as natural fogs and clouds, fine sprays, insecticidal mists, coarse dusts, pollen and spores, etc. By means of four progressively finer jets impinging on glass slides in series the sample is split up into size-graded fractions in a form suitable for microscopic…

Simplified apparatus and procedure for freezing-point determinations upon small volumes of fluid

J. A. Ramsay, Robert H. Brown · 1 Oct 1955

For purposes of determining the freezing-point of small volumes of aqueous solutions the difficulties of undercooling are avoided by first freezing the sample and then determining the thawing-point. Apparatus and procedure specially designed for simplicity of construction and operation are described. The method works best with volumes of the order of 10-3 to 10-4 mm3…

Wide-band detector for micro-microampere low-energy electron currents

T. E. Everhart, R. Thornley · 1 Jul 1960

Electrons with a mean energy of a few electron volts emerging from a source a few millimetres in diameter are accelerated on to a positively biased plastic scintillator. The light generated in the scintillator is guided by a Perspex light-pipe to a photomultiplier. If the scintillator bias is greater than 10 kV, no noise is…

Journal of Scientific Instruments template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Scientific Instruments format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Scientific Instruments template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Scientific Instruments use?
Journal of Scientific Instruments uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Journal of Scientific Instruments 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Scientific Instruments?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Journal of Scientific Instruments document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Scientific Instruments template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Scientific Instruments format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Journal of Scientific Instruments?
Journal of Scientific Instruments is a physics journal published by IOP Publishing. DocuGuru's Journal of Scientific Instruments template matches IOP Publishing's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Scientific Instruments PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Scientific Instruments template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
