Types of Manuscripts
Crystal Growth & Design publishes communications, original
full-length research articles, reviews, and perspectives articles. It
also includes news and meeting reports, book and software
reviews, and a conference calendar. All contributions listed below
will be peer-reviewed.
Communications should be preliminary reports of original,
significant research results. A statement of urgency and brief
summary of the significant findings should accompany the
submission and appear as a title page (see Submission of
Manuscripts and Special Instructions for Communications below).
Articles should be comprehensive reports of original, significant,
and complete results or conclusions. Authors are encouraged
to take full advantage of the additional Web features available
for Web enhanced objects (including full color, 3D animations,
video, and sound).
Reviews should be concise, complete, critical evaluations of
the existing state of knowledge on a particular facet of science or
technology within the scope of the journal. Reviewers should
concentrate on concepts and critical comment, and not comprehensive
detailing of references which could be found by a simple
computer literature search. Tutorial Reviews, intended for use in
undergraduate and graduate teaching, will also be considered.
While still critical evaluations, these should include some history
and possible future developments of the considered topic area.
Authors considering the preparation of a review article should
consult with the Editor or an Associate Editor prior to initiating
the project.
Perspectives articles should provide either a personal view or
philosophical look at a topic within the scope of the journal. These
articles, which represent the opinions of the author, may contain
topical, historical, or biographical information on relevant research,
technologies, tools, future needs, or even experts. As for Reviews,
potential authors should contact the Editor or Associate Editor
prior to preparing a manuscript.
Submission of Manuscripts
Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts via the Web
using a single word processing file with embedded graphics.
Submission of manuscripts in this manner will significantly
reduce the time required for review and publication. Mailed
submission will also be accepted (see File Preparation for Mail
Submission below).
Authors should review the journal’s Guidelines for Authors,
prior to submission of a manuscript. Close attention to all the
required details discussed in the Guidelines for Authors will
expedite review and reduce the time to publication.
Submission of a manuscript to Crystal Growth & Design
implies that the work reported therein has not been published, or
submitted for publication, elsewhere in any medium of a public
nature, including electronic journals and computer databases.
Authors are expected to adhere to the Ethical Guidelines to
Publication of Chemical Research (http://pubs.acs.org/instruct/
ethic.html), which are published periodically in this and other ACS
journals and are available on the Web through the Crystal Growth
& Design homepage.
There are no page charges or charges for color illustration for
Crystal Growth & Design.

recommended reviewers. The letter should list any graphics for
which color is requested. The cover letter should address the
criteria of significance and rapid disclosure for Communications
and Reviews.
Publication Date. Documents accepted for publication in ACS
journals will be posted as Articles ASAP on the Web as soon as
they are ready for publication, that is, when galley proofs are
corrected and all author concerns are resolved. Papers typically
appear on the Web 24-48 hours after galley approval. Authors
should take this into account when planning their intellectual and
patent activities related to a document.
The actual date on which the document is posted on the Web
is recorded on the Web edition of the document and in a separate
line at the bottom of the first page of the document in the printed
issue.
Web Submission
Manuscripts may be submitted via the Web, using the manuscript
submission site on the Crystal Growth & Design homepage
(http://pubs.acs.org/crystal/). Authors will view the PDF version
of their manuscripts prior to formal submission to the Editor. In
order to use Web submission, authors must be able to provide
electronic versions of text and graphics. Any Supporting Information
should also be submitted electronically if possible. Complete
instructions, including information on which platforms and word
processing packages are supported, are available on the submission
site.
An optional electronic manuscript template is available in
several word processing versions at the Crystal Growth & Design
Web edition home page via http://pubs.acs.org/crystal/.
Please note: If the author chooses not to use the template, the
text of the manuscript should be double-spaced.
The manuscript submission site employs state-of-the-art security
mechanisms to ensure privacy for all electronically submitted
manuscripts. These same security mechanisms are also utilized
throughout the peer review process, permitting access to only those
Editors and reviewers who are assigned to a particular manuscript.
Authors may also submit revised manuscripts via the manuscript
submission site.
Mail Submission
If an author prefers to submit by mail, four (4) double-spaced
copies of the manuscript, all Supporting Information, and a
Copyright Status Form should be submitted to:
Professor Robin D. Rogers
Editor, Crystal Growth & Design
Department of Chemistry
The University of Alabama
Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0336 (USA)
Phone: 205/348-0844
Fax: 205/348-0823
E-mail: crystal@bama.ua.edu
The corresponding author’s mailing address, phone number,
fax number, and e-mail address should be included.
Final accepted manuscripts must be supplied in both hardcopy
format and in electronic form (text files and graphics files on
disks). A completed Media Description Form must accompany
the disk. The disk should be labeled with the manuscript number
and the corresponding author’s name. It is important to follow
disk preparation guidelines to ensure rapid publication. Manuscripts
submitted in hardcopy only (without disks) will face a delay
in publication.
Preparation of Manuscripts
Crystal Growth & Design encourages authors to prepare
manuscripts using the template available on the Web site. Use of
the template facilitates the peer review process by allowing authors
to place their artwork and tables close to the point where they
are discussed. Authors should consult The ACS Style Guide, 2nd
ed.; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1997 (available
from Oxford University Press, Order Department, 201 Evans
Road, Cary, NC 27513), for format guidance.
Any author who is not fully fluent in idiomatic English is urged
to obtain assistance with manuscript preparation from a colleague
fluent in English, as manuscripts with grammar deficiencies are
sometimes handicapped during the scientific review process and
delayed in publication.
Any unusual hazards inherent in the chemicals, equipment,
or procedures used in an investigation should be clearly
identified in a manuscript reporting the work.
Registered trademark names should be capitalized whenever
used; trade and trivial names should not be capitalized; usually
the chemical name or composition should be given in parentheses
or in a footnote at the first occurrence of such a name.
General Considerations. Authors should prepare material with
utmost conciseness consistent with clarity. A Copyright Status
Form and cover letter are required for each submitted manuscript.
The following order of presentation is preferred: Cover Page,
Title Page, Abstract, Introduction, Experimental Section, Results,
Discussion (can be combined with Results), Conclusions (if
needed), Acknowledgments (if needed), Supporting Information
description, References, and Table of Contents graphic and
synopsis. Schemes, Tables, Figure Captions, and Figures and
descriptions of Web enhanced objects should be placed in the
appropriate locations within the text to enhance readability. To
expedite review, processing, and publication of the manuscript,
all of the above should reside in a single file and be submitted
via the journal Web site.
Authors are requested to consider Web enhancements to their
articles when submitting manuscripts. Such enhancements may
include rotatable 3D renderings, animations, video, or sound. See
section on Web enhanced objects for instructions on submitting
these files.
The use of full color in the printed version of the journal will
be limited to those instances where it is needed for clarity.
Nevertheless, there is no limitation on the use of color for material
submitted as Supporting Information. Color reproduction, if
approved by the Editor, will be provided at no cost to the author.
A surcharge of $100 per 100 reprints will be added to the standard
cost of reprints.
Authors should write in clear, concise English and should follow
the style and layout recommended in The ACS Style Guide. All
nomenclature must be consistent, clear, and unambiguous and
should conform with current American usage. Insofar as possible,
authors should use systematic names similar to those used by
Chemical Abstracts Service and the International Union of Pure
and Applied Chemistry.
Chemical Abstracts (CA) nomenclature rules are described in
Appendix IV of the Chemical Abstracts Index Guide. For CA
nomenclature advice, consult the Manager of Nomenclature
Services, Chemical Abstracts Service, P.O. Box 3012, Columbus,
OH 43210-0012. A name generation service is available for a fee
through CAS Client Services, 2540 Olentangy River Road, P.O.
Box 3343, Columbus, OH 43210-0334; Telephone: (614) 447-
3870; Telefax: (614) 447-3747; or e-mail: answers@cas.org.
Cover Page. This page is intended to facilitate review and
abstracting of the paper and will not be part of the published text.
Text and graphics should thus be sized to fit on only one page.
The Cover Page should begin with the title, author list, and
affiliations. The corresponding author should be indicated with
an asterisk and full contact details (name, address, phone, fax,
e-mail, and Web addresses) provided at the bottom left corner of
the page in address format.
The Cover Page should also contain an abstract of 200 words
or less of the major findings in the paper and the most important
illustration in the paper.
Title Page. The Title Page should begin with the title, author
list, and affiliations. Titles should clearly and concisely reflect
the emphasis and content of the paper. Titles are of great
importance for current awareness and information retrieval and
should be carefully constructed for these purposes. Succinct titles
are encouraged.
14A Crystal Growth & Design, 2004, Vol. 4, No. 1
Bylines should include all those who have made substantial
contributions to the work. To facilitate indexing and retrieval and
for unique identification of an author, use first names, initials,
and surnames (e.g., John R. Smith) or first initials, second names,
and surnames (e.g., J. Robert Smith). At least one author must be
designated with an asterisk as the author to whom correspondence
should be addressed. The corresponding author’s e-mail address
should follow the address information.
The Abstract should immediately follow the author affiliations.
Abstract. All manuscripts must contain an Abstract, not
exceeding 200 words, which should provide a succinct, informative
summation of the most important results and conclusions.
The opening lines of the Abstract should present the principal
results and conclusions.
Introduction. The Introduction should provide a statement
outlining the motivation for the research and should accurately
place the investigations in context with previous or current work
in the field.
Experimental Section. The Experimental Section should
provide a clear, unambiguous description of materials, methods,
and equipment in sufficient detail to permit repetition of the work
elsewhere. Repetitive descriptions of a general procedure should
be avoided.
Results and Discussion. These sections should present the
results, and their interpretation, in context with existing knowledge
in a clear and concise manner.
Conclusion. A Conclusion section should be provided in
instances where the key elements of the results and discussion
may require amplification or clarification. This section should not
simply restate the Abstract.
References and Footnotes. In the Web edition of this journal,
references will be linked to various electronic sources (e.g., the
corresponding abstract from Chemical Abstracts Service, full text
from other American Chemical Society journals, etc.); therefore,
the accuracy of the references is critical. Authors are responsible
for the accuracy of the references.
References to the literature should be numbered in one
consecutive series in the text. Each literature reference should be
assigned one number and placed in the text as a superscript Arabic
numeral. Footnotes to the text, including the identity of the
author’s institution if this is not obvious from the heading of the
manuscript, should be combined with references and numbered
in ordinal sequence. Unnecessarily long reference lists should be
avoided.
Authors should consult The ACS Style Guide for the appropriate
style to use in citations of journal papers, books, and other
publications. In literature references, journal abbreviations should
be those used by Chemical Abstracts (see Chemical Abstracts
SerVice Source Index (CASSI) 1907-1999 CumulatiVe).
Example of a journal reference:
(1) Doe, J. S.; Smith, J.; Roe, P. Cryst. Growth Des. 2001, 1,
95-105.
Example of a book reference:
(2) Smith, A. B. In Textbook of Chemistry; Doe, J. S., Roe, P.,
Eds.; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1999; Vol.
4, Chapter 2, pp 123-126.
Tables. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic
numerals and placed in appropriate locations within the text. Each
table should include a descriptive heading that, together with the
individual column headings, makes the table self-explanatory.
Footnotes in tables should be given letter designations and be cited
in the table by italic superscript letters. The sequence of letters
should proceed by line rather than by column.
If a reference is cited both in the text and in a table, a lettered
footnote should be inserted in the table which refers to the
numbered reference in the text. In setting up tabulations, authors
are requested to keep in mind the type area of the journal page
(17.8 25.0 cm) and the column width (8.5 cm) and to make
tables conform to the limitations of these dimensions. When data
are arranged into columns, space should be used efficiently. Tables
extending over two columns are permitted.
Artwork. For ease of readability, the artwork should follow
the first mention in the text. To achieve this, the artwork should
be designed to use space efficiently so that it can be integrated
into the layout of the manuscript where it is mentioned. Onecolumn
artwork is strongly recommended.
Artwork may be categorized into structure blocks, equations
(numbered reactions), charts, schemes, and figures. Within each
category (except structure blocks), artwork should be sequentially
numbered using Arabic numbers. Schemes and charts should have
titles and may have footnotes; figures should have captions.
Structures should be numbered sequentially with boldface Arabic
numbers.
The quality of the illustrations in the journal depends on the
quality of the originals provided by the author. Artwork should
be provided at the size it will be printed in the journal (for
guidelines on the production of ChemDraw files, see the instructions
below). Figures cannot be modified or enhanced by the
journal production staff. Whenever possible, the graphics files
furnished by authors with Web submissions (and on disks with
revised conventional submissions of accepted manuscripts) are
used in production of the journal. Hardcopy graphics furnished
with conventional submissions are digitized during journal
production. Contrast is important. Use dark black ink. To ensure
good quality production in the journal, a copy of each graphic
should be printed (at the desired size in the final printed version)
from a high-quality laser printer on smooth, opaque white paper
to verify that all parts of the artwork are clear and legible. Any
changes to the artwork (including size changes) must be made in
the drawing program that was used to create the artwork and the
revised artwork reimported into the manuscript.
Graphics submitted digitally should be saved as TIFF images,
if possible, and should have the following minimum resolution
requirements:
Black and white line art 1200 dpi
Grayscale art 600 dpi
Color art 300 dpi
Remove all color from graphics, except for those graphics that
you would like to have considered for publication in color.
For papers submitted via the Web, insert your illustrations into
the manuscript following the Web instructions for manuscript
preparation. See http://pubs.acs.org for additional guidance.
For papers submitted in hardcopy, artwork may be submitted
as separate graphics files (see “File Preparation for Mail Submission?BR>later in this document) or as hardcopy originals. Please note
that even if graphics files are submitted, good quality, hardcopy
original figures are still required.
Artwork should be constructed in keeping with the following
journal column widths:
One column
(preferred)
Two column
Width
Minimum N/A 10.5 cm (4.1 in.)
Maximum 8.25 cm (3.3 in.) 17.8 cm (7 in.)
Maximum depth 24 cm (9.5 in.) 24 cm (9.5 in.)
Artwork should be produced with a drawing program such as
ChemDraw. Structure drawing preferences (preset in the ACS
Stylesheet in ChemDraw) are as follows:
As drawing settings select:
chain angle 120 deg.
bond spacing 18% of width
fixed length 14.4 pt (0.508 cm, 0.2 in.)
bold width 2.0 pt (0.071 cm, 0.0278 in.)
line width 0.6 pt (0.021 cm, 0.0084 in.)
margin width 1.6 pt (0.056 cm, 0.0222 in.)
hash spacing 2.5 pt (0.088 cm, 0.0347 in.)
Crystal Growth & Design, 2004, Vol. 4, No. 1 15A
As text settings select:
Font Arial/Helvetica
Size 10 pt
Under the preferences choose:
Units points
Tolerances 3 pixels
Under page setup use:
Paper: US Letter
Scale: 100%
Using the ChemDraw ruler or appropriate margin settings,
create structure blocks, schemes, and equations having maximum
widths of 11.3 cm (one-column format) or 23.6 cm (two-column
format). (If the foregoing preferences are selected as cm values,
the ChemDraw ruler is calibrated in cm.)
Use boldface numerals for compound numbers, but not atom
labels or captions.
For artwork prepared in all other software packages, use the
following guidelines:
?Lettering should be no smaller than 4.5 points
?Use Helvetica or Arial type for lettering
?Lines should be no thinner than 0.5 point
?Lettering and lines should be of uniform density
Use a simple cross-hatch design to show a pattern or to achieve
a three-dimensional effect. Do not submit color prints when
black and white reproduction is required.
Table of Contents Graphic and Synopsis. A graphic entry
for the Table of Contents and short synopsis (60 words or less)
reporting the most important feature of the paper must be supplied
with each manuscript and should be placed at the end of the
electronic file containing the manuscript or, for mailed submissions,
just after the figures. The page should be labeled For Table
of Contents Use Only.
The synopsis, in conjunction with the manuscript title, should
give the reader a summary of the main thrusts described in the
paper. The graphic could be in the form of a structure, a graph,
a drawing, an SEM/TEM photograph, reaction scheme, etc. A
Table of Contents graphic supplied by the author can be no wider
than 12.0 cm and no taller than 4.6 cm. This includes the
appropriate selection of the type size of any labels, formulas, or
numbers. Please note that the journal will not publish tables or
spectra in the Table of Contents, since these do not reproduce
well after photoreproduction.
Do not confuse the Table of Contents graphic and synopsis for
the required 200 word abstract and summary graphic needed at
the beginning of each contribution to expedite review.
Web Enhanced Objects. The Journal Editors encourage the
submission of Web enhanced objects (WEOs) that complement a
reader’s understanding of the research being reported. These types
of files include color figures (including 3D rotatable figures),
animations, spectra, video, and sound. Links to WEOs will appear
in the Web HTML edition of the paper. Files suitable for
this form of publication should be viewable with commonly
available Internet plug-ins (e.g., Chime) or helper applications
(Rasmol, WebLab Viewer, etc.). More information on WEOs
is available on the Crystal Growth & Design website at http://
pubs.acs.org/crystal/.
Authors should submit WEOs as separate files to the Editor.
Those authors submitting papers via the Web should e-mail WEO
files (with the assigned manuscript number) to crystal@bama.ua.edu
after submission of their paper to Paragon. The file size must be
<5 megabytes.
Descriptions of WEOs should be noted in the appropriate places
within the graphic caption or text of the paper, noting the type of
file and format. Example: “A 3D rotatable image in xyz format
is available.?BR>Supporting Information. Supporting Information such as
extensive tables, graphs, spectra, detailed descriptions of experimental
procedures, and crystallographic information files (CIFs)
will appear in the Web edition of the paper and must accompany
the manuscript for review purposes. Full CIF files are required
for papers which contain crystal structure reports (see below);
however, structure factors will not be required unless specifically
requested for review. CIF files will be sent via Web submission.
Mailed submission of Supporting Information is currently
acceptable. The copy should be clear and readable on 8.5 11
in. paper, and the pages must be numbered. The Supporting
Information format of this journal can accommodate and make
readily available almost any type of supplementary figures or data
(e.g., reproductions of spectra, experimental procedures, tabulated
data, expanded discussion of peripheral findings). The author
should include a Supporting Information Available statement at
the end of the manuscript that describes this material. The
following example uses the preferred format:
Supporting Information Available. Three-dimensional renderings
of Figures 2 and 4, animation of reaction sequence 3, video
of the growth along 211 for compound 4, and IR spectra for 5.
X-ray crystallographic information files (CIF) are available for
compounds 7 and 8. This material is available free of charge via
the Internet at http://pubs.acs.org.
Special Instructions for Communications
Communications are brief reports of preliminary and significant
research results of interest to the crystal growth and design
community. These special criteria will be applied in addition to
the others that are normally used (see section on Review of
Manuscripts) in judging the suitability of a manuscript submitted
for publication as a Communication.
A Communication should not contain section headings (e.g.,
Introduction, Results and Discussion, Experimental Section, etc.);
however, a 60-word synopsis and TOC graphic are required. An
Abstract of 200 words or less for review and indexing purposes
should be submitted separately along with the text of the
Communication (see General Considerations). Any X-ray crystallographic
information, experimental details, and characterization
data for key compounds should be submitted as Supporting
Information, and full documentation of each XRD study should
accompany the Communication. A footnote in the numerical list
at the end of the paper should include a brief summary of the
crystal structure determination, chemical formula and formula
weight, unit cell dimensions with esds, temperature, crystal system
and space group, number of formula units in the unit cell, linear
absorption coefficient, number of measured/independent/observed
reflections (with criterion), and final R values.
Information for Authors of Papers Containing Structure
Reports
(A) Crystal Structure Studies. Authors should consult the
recommendations of The Commission on Crystallographic Data
of the International Union of Crystallography before preparing
manuscripts for submission. Not all data requested for review will
be accepted for the printed text. This applies both to reports in
which the structure study is the main thrust of the work (Full
Structure Report) and to those in which such a study plays only
a supporting role (Abbreviated Structure Report).
(1) Structure Reports (in Articles)
(a) Experimental Section. Every effort should be made to
minimize the quantity of tabular material appearing in the printed
text. The collection of data and refinement of the structure are
usually routine, and a concise description can be accomplished
with a brief written description and one short table. Tabulations
of fractional coordinates will in general not be printed within the
main text; however, this information will be available along with
more in-depth experimental information in Supporting Information
on the Web.
(b) Tabular Material. Important bond lengths and angles (with
esds) may be included in tabular form for the printed text when
they are significant to the overall discussion. Full details of the
16A Crystal Growth & Design, 2004, Vol. 4, No. 1
inter- and intramolecular distances and angles should be made
available in the Supporting Information.
(c) Figures. Drawings of crystal or molecular structures should
be made with the non-crystallographer in mind. For structures
refined anisotropically, ellipsoid plots should be submitted for
review as Supporting Information; however, ball-and-stick drawings,
with appropriate use of color, may enhance the presentation
of the supramolecular features of crystal structures. Authors should
pay close attention to the level of detail possible in reduced figures
of unit cell and packing diagrams. Stereoscopic pairs of perspective
drawings may be deposited as Supporting Information. However,
authors are encouraged to submit 3D rotatable images of a single
packing rather than stereopairs.
(d) Crystallographic Data. Authors of papers containing
single-crystal XRD studies are strongly encouraged to provide
powder XRD data (see below) on the bulk sample to confirm
that the crystal structure is representative of the entire sample.
Supplementary single-crystal XRD data should be provided in
the Supporting Information section of the manuscript (see section
on Supporting Information), and the preferred form is as a
Crystallographic Information File (CIF). Material to be deposited:
complete information on collection of data and refinement
of the structure in tabular form; final values of all refined atomic
coordinates (with esds) including all calculated atomic coordinates
(especially calculated positions for hydrogen atoms and positions
of atoms calculated from refinement of rigid groups); all anisotropic
thermal parameters, which should be provided in Uij or Bij
form, rather than âij; all nonessential bond lengths and angles;
least-squares planes and atomic deviations therefrom; intermolecular
contacts including such items as details of intermolecular
hydrogen bonding; unit cell and packing diagrams stylized to
emphasize packing information and drawn with right-handed axes.
Submission of the structure factor table(s) is not required, but
authors should be prepared to submit a copy of the structure factor
table(s) if requested during the review process. The structure factor
table(s) will not be deposited, and the authors are requested to
retain a copy (which should list h, k, l, Fo, Fc, and ójFoj values)
for at least 2 years, so that it can be consulted should any questions
concerning the published structure arise.
A suitable paragraph should appear at the end of the printed
text enumerating the contents of the Supporting Information.
Authors are strongly encouraged to deposit crystallographic data
in the CIF format. These files may be used for reviewing purposes
and, therefore, must be deposited when the author submits a
manuscript for review. Because of anticipated changes in the
submission of CIF, additional details on the preparation, validation,
and submission of the material are available from the journal home
page (URL: http://pubs.acs.org/journals/cgdefu/index.html). Please
consult this information while preparing your manuscript.
Reviewers will have access via the Web to an electronic copy
of the CIF(s) associated with a manuscript. For many reviewers,
an electronic CIF greatly simplifies the review process. Thus, the
lack of availability of an electronic CIF may result in significant
delays in the review process.
After review and acceptance, the CIF will become part of the
general Supporting Information and will be available to readers
via the Web. At present, authors may continue to send four copies
of Supporting (crystallographic) Information with hardcopy
submission of manuscripts to the Editor.
(2) Abbreviated Structure Reports in Communications or
Articles. In a Communication or in the case where a structure
study plays a supporting role in a full paper devoted to another
principal objective, a good molecular or packing diagram should
appear as a figure. A few significant distances and angles should
be placed in the figure caption or in a short table. A footnote in
the numerical list at the end of the paper should include a brief
summary of the crystal structure determination, chemical formula
and formula weight, unit cell dimensions with esds, temperature,
crystal system and space group, number of formula units in the
unit cell, linear absorption coefficient, number of measured/
independent/observed reflections (with criterion), and final R
values. All other information which would otherwise be included
in a structure report should be in Supporting Information,
preferably deposited as a CIF.
(B) Powder Diffraction Data. Powder XRD data are highly
encouraged for all new materials and for materials previously
uncharacterized by this technique. Data from powder XRD
measurements should be accompanied by details of the experimental
technique: the radiation, its wavelength, filters or monochromators,
camera diameter, the type of X-ray recording, and
the technique for estimating intensities. In cases of unindexed
listing of the data, the d spacings of all observed lines should be
listed in sequence, together with their relative intensities. In cases
where filtered radiation is used, every effort should be made to
identify residual ?lines. Where resolution into R1-R2 doublets
occurs, the identification of the d spacing for each line as dR1,
dR2 gives a measure of the quality of the photograph. When an
indexing of the data is offered, the observed and calculated 1/d2
values should be listed side by side along with the observed
relative intensities (it is superfluous to give d spacings in this
instance). All calculated 1/d2 values should be listed (exclusive
of systematic absences), to the limit of the data quoted. If possible,
the crystal system should be specified. Possible space groups may
also be listed if the data warrant it. Relevant information about
the specimen used should be included.
(C) Corrections. Errors discovered in published structure
reports should be communicated directly to the corresponding
author of the work. The Editor should be kept informed by a copy
of such correspondence. Upon verifying the error, the author or
authors should submit a suitable correction to the Editor without
delay, carrying an acknowledgment of the colleagues who brought
the matter to their attention.
File Preparation for Mail Submission
If a manuscript is submitted by mail, electronic files of the
final accepted version will still be required prior to publication.
The electronic version must exactly match the final accepted
hardcopy version, and authors are encouraged to use the template
for their electronic version.
If the template is not used, the document mode or its equivalent
in the word-processing program should be used; i.e., files should
not be saved in “Text Only?(ASCII) mode. If a non-Western
version of word-processing software is used to prepare the
manuscript, the file should be saved in rich-text format (RTF).
“Returns?should only be used to end headings and paragraphs,
not to break lines of text. Spaces should not be inserted before
punctuation.
All characters must be correctly represented throughout the
manuscript: for example, 1 (one) and l (ell), 0 (zero) and O (oh),
x (ex) and (times sign). The symbol font for all Greek letters
and math symbols should be used. The conversion program used
in the Journal Publications office will faithfully translate any errors
present in a file; therefore, the final version must be checked
carefully for consistent notation and correct spelling.
The file must be checked with an up-to-date virus detection
program. The presence of a virus would delay the publication of
the manuscript.
The complete manuscript should be placed in one file created
in one of the following word processing packages.
Macintosh IBM and Compatibles
Microsoft Word, Word 98 and higher Microsoft Word, 97 and higher
WordPerfect 3.5 Word for Windows 8.0
WordPerfect up to 9.0
All graphics in this file must be inserted at the size they are to
be printed in this journal (except as already noted in the
instructions for ChemDraw files). Proof a printout of the
manuscript from a 600 dpi laser printer to ensure that all artwork
is clear and legible.
Crystal Growth & Design, 2004, Vol. 4, No. 1 17A
Review of Manuscripts
Contributions will take full advantage of Web technology in
submission and review of manuscripts and approval of page
proofs. All papers will be submitted to at least two experts for
critical review. Authors are urged to suggest persons competent
to referee their manuscripts in their cover letter, but these referees
should not be colleagues or collaborators. They may also suggest
that certain individuals not be used as referees. Such requests will
be honored by the Editors, unless it is believed that the specific
individual’s opinion is vital in the consideration of the manuscript.
The following criteria have been established for consideration
by reviewers: relevance of the work to the fields of crystal growth,
design, and application; its overall quality and completeness; its
originality and significance; the quality, clarity, and conciseness
of the manuscript; the quality and appropriate use of figures, tables,
etc.; whether the conclusions reached are adequately supported
by the data; the use of satisfactory nomenclature; whether the
potential hazards have been adequately described; whether the
references given are appropriate and adequate.
In the case of Communications, the completeness of the work
will not be among the criteria, but the additional requirement of
unusual urgency, significance, and interest to the materials
chemistry community will be applied in addition to the limitation
on length.
All manuscripts will be handled expeditiously to ensure rapid
consideration for publication; however, Communications will be
given special consideration in both the reviewing and publication
processes to minimize the time from receipt to publication.
If the manuscript contains references to work “in press,?BR>“submitted? etc., preprints should be included (three copies) for
use by the reviewers and Editors. This is especially important if
the unpublished work bears directly on conclusions drawn in the
submitted manuscript.
In the printed version, authors are asked to limit the use of
color to instances when color pictures are needed for clarity. There
is no limitation in the use of color for material submitted as
Supporting Information.
It should be recognized that the reviewers act only in an
advisory capacity and that the final decision concerning a
manuscript is the responsibility of the Editors.
Revised Manuscripts
A manuscript sent back to an author for revision must be
returned to the Editor within 6 months; otherwise it will be
considered withdrawn. It is strongly encouraged that all revised
manuscripts be submitted via the Web. If submission by mail is
necessary, revised manuscripts returned to the Editor must be
submitted in duplicate, and all changes must be highlighted. In
the event of extensive revisions, revised manuscripts may be sent
back to the original reviewers, who are asked to comment on the
revisions. If only minor revisions are involved, the Editors examine
the revised manuscript in light of the recommendations of the
reviewers without seeking further opinions. In any case, a letter
from the author in which a detailed account of how the author
has responded to each of the reviewers?comments should
accompany the revised manuscript.
Galley Proofs and Reprints
Galley proofs may be received electronically by the author who
submitted the article. The author may elect to have the galleys
sent as hardcopy; however, this will significantly slow production
time for the manuscript.
Proofs should be checked with utmost care against the
manuscript (in particular, all tables, equations, and formulas), as
this is not done by the Editorial staff. The corrected proofs should
be returned as soon as possible and may be done electronically.
No paper is released for publication until the author’s proof
has been received. Papers typically appear on the Web 24-48
hours after galley approval.
Please return your reprint order form and purchase order or
check to Cadmus Reprints. Reprints will be shipped within 2
weeks after the printed journal date. Confirming or purchasing
order forms should be attached to the proof. All orders must be
filed before press time.
Corresponding authors will receive 25 free hardcopy reprints,
and also 50 free electronic reprints via an Electronic Reprint URL.
Corrections
If errors of consequence are detected in a published paper, the
author should contact the Editor as soon as possible and send
corrections for publication in the Additions and Corrections
section.
These instructions and a Copyright Status Form are printed in
the first issue of each volume and are available via the Web on
the journal homepage at http://pubs.acs.org/crystal/. Please conform
to these instructions when submitting manuscripts.
