1 Encyclopædia of Luminescence
Encyclopædia of Luminescence with its motto:In summary Encyclopædia of Luminescence have the following subsections:
- Encyclopædia of Luminescence - in-depth, peer-reviewed and open access Internet Encyclopædia,
- The Light Years - biographical notes about noticeable researchers in Luminescence,
- Books Reviews, Editorials and Point of Views - monitoring of new developments,
- Conferences, Meetings, and Schools - international exchange and learning,
- Opportunities, Jobs, Fellowships - advertising board supporting young fellow researchers,
- Instruments and Technical Progress - commercial companies presentations and instrumental advances.
- Who's Who - concise biographical and scientific information about researchers in Luminescence.
2 Writing Style
Contributors to Encyclopædia of Luminescence should follow a commonly accepted in scientific publications writing style. Although no particular length limit on each entry is imposed, the entries should be concise, but self-contained. The Encyclopedia of Luminescence is using English as a present-day language of science. The authors, especially from non-English spiking countries, should ensure proper English usage of spelling and grammar.
3 Layout
- Entry Title
- Author(s) Names and Affiliation(s) - author(s) names will be linked to authors biographical entries with a description of research and interests. Author(s) photos are welcome.
- Start with a dictionary-like definition of the main topic (1 sentence to 1 paragraph long). This definition should be conceptually accessible to a broad audience of readers.
- Table of Contents - list content of your entry.
- Content - Progress from more basic to more advanced concepts. This is a main body of the entry.
- References - follow Chicago Style. http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html
- Further reading - follow Chicago Style.
- External links - external links to entry related issues.
4 Formatting Issues
No particular length of your entry (article) is imposed. A plain MS Word document will be satisfactory:
- Your document submission (your name.docx)
- Clearly marked figures (artwork, we accept color artwork) your name.* (all reasonable formats are OK).
- For references could you follow Chicago Style (http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html) and MS Word referencing mode.
- For equations use MS Word Math editor and add LaTeX (https://www.latex-project.org/) code for these equations. The final entry will be typeset by us and we are working with LaTeX. editor. For example equation in Ms Word Math is [math]\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm d x}I(x)=-\alpha cI(x)\tag {1}[/math] and its LaTeX code is <math\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm d x}I(x)=-\alpha cI(x)\tag {1}/math>.[math]\langle n | \psi_1(t) \rangle\frac{1}{i \hbar}=\int_0^t d \tau g e^{-i E_b \tau /\hbar } e^{-i n \Delta (t- \tau)/\hbar }=g \frac{ 1 - e^{i (n \Delta - E_b )t/\hbar } }{n \Delta - E_b } e^{-i n \Delta t /\hbar }\tag {9}[/math] We use MathJax (https://www.mathjax.org/) as a cross-browser JavaScript library that displays mathematical notation in web browsers, using MathML (https://www.w3.org/Math/), LaTeX and ASCIIMathML (http://asciimath.org/) markup.
- The author(s) are asked to indicate in their manuscript the words which in their opinion should be represented as entries in Encyclopedia of Luminescence. This distinction should be done by underlining word and using blue font color, say a word. The authors should be careful as for example words photoelectron transfer are a separate entry in Encyclopedia of Luminescence, but word electron obviously does not belong to this category. During the entry typesetting, featured words will be linked to respective entries in Encyclopedia of Luminescence.

7 Article Maintance
The LumiPedia.org needs your support. A great number of scientists are donating their time and effort to contribute, peer-review, and maintain this encyclopedia. Our goal is to:

in the form of peer-reviewed and open-access scientific encyclopædia. Our contributors, editors, typesetters, proofreaders, volunteers, and supporting personnel are jointly creating entries covering topics for all-natural sciences. To cover the annual costs of administering and supporting this effort, the LumiPedia.org is kindly asking all contributors, associated institutions, libraries, and businesses to endorse and support our efforts.
A minimum sustainable financial fee per one LumiPedia.org article is fairly estimated to be about €1265 (pending the actual exchange rate of $1357, ¥85K) or equivalent + VAT (The EU Value Added Tax) if applicable.
The above sustainable manuscript editing fee applies to all contributions. However, in the case of contributions to heavy and extensive math, one has to remember that in order to make this contribution appear in a professional way, one has to edit all math in MathJax ([1]). Therefore in these cases, an individual evaluation will be made to assess the MathJax editorial work needed to transfer the manuscript into professional form. If your manuscript in MS Word exceeds 8 pages (1.5 spacing, PDF/Word conversion at www.ilovepdf.com) an additional fee of €87.24 (net) per page will be charged.
In the case of Light Years and Who's Who entries the minimum sustainable financial fee per one LumiPedia.org entry is fairly estimated to be about ⅓ of the above amount charged for the main entries. [⅓×€1265=€421.70 (pending the actual exchange rate $330, ¥27K) or equivalent + VAT (The EU Value Added Tax) if applicable.]
The late payment over 31 days after publication of an article date, all minimum sustainable financial support will result in the late payment surcharge at 43% of all minimum (net) sustainable charges.

The lecturer also confirms to cover costs of legal charges furnished to VE by legal proceedings/advice in the Contributor's home country.
