Original papers: Are full-length expositions of extensive and significant experimental or theoretical studies.
Short communications: Must be complete, self-contained papers, and not preliminary reports. In style and presentation they should conform to that laid down for manuscripts but length should not exceed three (two) printed pages in the journal.
Reviews: Will usually be written at the invitation of Editors. Unsolicited reviews will be welcome but authors wishing to submit a review are requested to consult Editors prior to commencement.
Submission of an article must be accompanied by a statement that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
Manuscript preparation
Articles must be written in good English.
Nomenclature, units and symbols: Should conform to the IUPAC convention. Chemical nomenclature should follow the IUPAC rules. All abbreviations should be preceded the first time they appear by the full name except for the SI symbols for units that are to be used without explanation.
Text Preparation: The final text should be submitted by e-mail as a Word processor (*.doc file). Figures should be given in JPG format in high resolution (at least 300 dpi) or Excel files. Manuscripts should be prepared with numbered lines, wide margins and double spacing. Section headings to be used are Introduction, Experimental, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Supplementary materials (if necessary), Acknowledgements, References, Table(s), figure(s) and Graphical abstract.
Title: Papers should be headed by a concise and informative title. This should be followed by the name(s) and complete address of the author(s). The author(s) to whom correspondence should be addressed may be indicated with an asterisk. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. This corresponding author should be clearly indicated by an asterisk.
Abstract: An abstract of 150-250 words should be included at the beginning of a paper. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone
Keywords:mImmediately after the abstract provide a four-six keywords.
Introduction: A full-length paper should have a short introduction to state the reasons for the work, with enough reference to previous works on the subject.
Experimental: This should be presented as a clear and detailed description of experimental procedures and analytical conditions to enable readers to carry out similar work. Supply sample preparation procedures, name, model and configuration details of equipment used, and data handing methods.
Results and Discussion: The original and important findings should be stated.
References: References should numbered consecutively (numerals in square brackets) throughout the text and collected together in a reference list at the end of the paper. In the reference list, journals [1], books [2] and edited multi-author books [3] should be cited in accordance with the following styles:
[1] H. Keypour, S. Salehzadeh, R.G. Pritchard, R.V. Parish, Inorg. Chem. 39 (2000) 5102.
[2] J. Wang, Analytical Electrochemistry, VCH, New York, 1994.
[3] K. Kimura, T. Shono, in: Y. Inoue, G.W. Gokel (Eds.), Cation Binding by Macrocycles, Marcel Dekker, New York, 1990.
Tables: Tables should be typed in double spacing on separate sheets and provided a suitable heading. Tables should be clearly referred in the text by using Arabic numerals. Each table should have a title that makes the general meaning understandable without reference to the text.
Figures: Figures should be submitted either as original art work or as high-quality reproductions. Figures should be numbered consecutively; the captions should be grouped with the Figures at the end of manuscript. The authors are encouraged to use color figures and schemes to increase readability. Please think in color, it is FREE, no charge for color figures, formulae or schemes.
