《表面和界面分析》致力于發表有關表面、界面和薄膜表征技術的發展和應用的論文。關于標準化和定量化的論文尤其受歡迎，也歡迎那些涉及這些技術在工業問題上的應用的論文。論文涉及純理論方面的技術也將被考慮。評論文章將發表；在這些情況下，建議事先咨詢其中一位編輯。論文必須在該領域具有明確的科學價值，并將提交給兩名獨立的裁判員。稿件必須使用英語，不得在其他地方出版，作者必須同意不得將同一材料傳播給任何其他期刊。

Surface and Interface Analysis is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with the development and application of techniques for the characterization of surfaces, interfaces and thin films. Papers dealing with standardization and quantification are particularly welcome, and also those which deal with the application of these techniques to industrial problems. Papers dealing with the purely theoretical aspects of the technique will also be considered. Review articles will be published; prior consultation with one of the Editors is advised in these cases. Papers must clearly be of scientific value in the field and will be submitted to two independent referees. Contributions must be in English and must not have been published elsewhere, and authors must agree not to communicate the same material for publication to any other journal.
