ResultsFilms were drawn on a wire frameand imaged under monochromaticlight at a fixed frame rate.Thickness was read from theinterference order, and each runended when the film ruptured.Runs were grouped by surfactant,and the resulting families weretreated separately throughoutthe analysis that follows.The reported lifetimes aremeasured rather than modelled,because a modelled value was notlight at a fixed frame rate.Thickness was read from theinterference order, and each run

You are emailed about a paper or a report. Never about admin.

When the paper arrives

Is this paper suitable?

When the reports are in

What’s your recommendation?

Reviewers invited for you. The invitation carries a link that becomes their review form.

How peer review works

Reviewers thanked, every time. A certificate is struck the moment their report reaches you.

Reviewer recognition

Authors looked after. They can see where their paper is, whenever they want to.

Author guidelines
