About the journal
The ground-breaking concept of online publishing is developed by Elsevier Science through Electrochemistry Communications.
Electrochemistry Communications is an entirely new letters journal providing fast dissemination of short communications covering the whole field of electrochemistry. Electrochemistry Communications seeks to provide rapid publication of important and urgent communications and short papers across the broad spectrum of electrochemical research. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
Fundamental electrochemistry
Electrode reaction mechanisms
Computational and theoretical electrochemistry
Properties of interfaces
Electrochemical surface science
Batteries and power sources
Organic and organometallic electrochemistry
Bioelectrochemistry
Spectroelectrochemistry and sonoelectrochemistry
The journal welcomes papers of general or specialist importance which merit rapid publication to a wide audience. All papers submitted by email, if accepted, will appear in electronic form within six to eight weeks of their receipt by the editor. Submissions by fax or post are also possible.
Electrochemistry Communications is part of the Electrochemistry Forum at ChemWeb. Visit http://electro.chemweb.com for online access to the list of published papers a few weeks after they have been accepted.
Please note that International Society of Electrochemistry members have now the option to purchase a personal printed or electronic subscription to Electrochemistry Communications.
Audience
Electrochemists, physical chemists, analytical chemists, biochemists, chemical engineers, life scientists and all those who use electrochemistry in many other disciplines.

Instructions to Authors
A PDF version of these Instructions to Authors, including all special characters. Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that the review and publication of your paper is as swift and efficient as possible. These notes may be copied freely. Electrochemistry Communications publishes urgent communications and short papers on all aspects of research in electrochemistry.
To ensure the very highest standards, authors must provide a covering letter or e-mail justifying the need for urgent publication when they submit their paper. This will be read by the Editors alongside the paper so as to form a view of whether the paper should be sent for rapid reviewing. The authors of those submissions considered to be scientifically correct but not requiring fast track publication will be offered the opportunity to have their work considered for publication as a Short Communication in the Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry or Electrochimica Acta.
Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts should be restricted to 3000 words or the equivalent space in illustrations and tables. For a rough estimate of the final length of the printed article authors should count 850 words per full, two-column page and four illustrations per page.
Manuscripts may be submitted in the following ways, listed in order of strong preference:
(1) as attached documents by e-mail with concurrent top hard copy by mail;
(2) by fax with concurrent top hard copy and electronic version on disk by mail;
(3) by mail as one hard copy and in electronic format on disk;
(4) by mail as one hard copy. It is important that the electronic file and the accepted printout are identical. The following information is required: e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, computer type used (PC/Mac), word processing package.
All manuscripts should be submitted to:

Journal policy
The language of submission is English. Papers are submitted on the understanding that the subject matter has not been previously published and is not being submitted elsewhere. Authors must accept full responsibility for the factual accuracy of the data presented and should obtain any authorization necessary for publication. All papers are sent to two referees who advise the Editor on the matter of acceptance in accordance with the high standards required. Referees' names are not disclosed, but their views are forwarded by the Editor to the authors for consideration. Authors are encouraged to suggest the names and addresses , including e-mail and faxnumbers of suitable referees.
Manuscript preparation
General requirements: Manuscripts must be printed double spaced, on one side of the page only, using black type on good quality white paper. Pages must be numbered. The corresponding author's full mailing address, plus phone and fax numbers and e-mail address must be included. The manuscript must be compiled in the following order: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Experimental Results, Discussion, Conclusions, References, Tables, Figures, Schemes, Captions.
Title: The title should be brief, specific and rich in informative words; it should not contain any literature references or uncommon abbreviations .
Authors and affiliations: Where possible, supply given names, middle initials and family names for complete identification. Use superscript lower case letters to indicate different addresses, which should be as detailed as possible, and must include the country name. The corresponding author should be indicated with an asterisk, and contact details given. Information relating to other authors (e.g. present addresses) should be placed in numbered footnotes.
Abstract: Authors must include a short abstract that states briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. References should not be mentioned in the abstract unless full details are given.
Keywords: Please supply five to six keywords that best describe your work.
Text: Text should be subdivided in the simplest possible way consistent with clarity. Headings and subheadings should reflect the relative importance of the sections, and all headings should be numbered. Ensure that all tables, figures and schemes are cited in the text in numerical order. Abbreviations should be used consistently throughout the text, and all nonstandard abbreviations should be defined on first usage.The experimental section should be as concise as possible, while containing all the information necessary to guarantee reproducibility. Text files may include equations and tables but not electronic graphics. These should be submitted separately (see 5. Artwork below).
References: In the text references should be indicated by Arabic numerals in square brackets which run consecutively through the paper; ensure that all references are cited in the text and vice versa. The reference list should contain only literature references; other information (e.g. experimental details) should be placed either within the body of the text, or as a footnote to the text. Each reference should contain only one literature citation. Authors are expected to check the original source reference for accuracy.
In the reference list, periodicals [1], books [2] and multi-author books [3] should be cited in accordance with the following examples.
1. P. Audebert, P. Hapiot, J. Electroanal. Chem. 361 (1993) 177.
2. J. Newman, Electrochemical Systems, 2nd ed., Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1991.
3. A.R. Hillman, in: R.G. Linford (Ed.), Electrochemical Science and Technology of Polymers, vol. 1, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1987, Ch.5.
References to published proceedings or abstracts of conferences should be given, together with the location and date of the meeting, e.g.
4. B. Miller, Proc. 6th Australian Electrochem. Conf., Geelong, Vic., 19-24 Feb., 1984; J. Electroanal. Chem., 168 (1984) 91.
Each reference must be complete, thus the use of ibid., idem., et al.,etc. is not permitted. Articles not yet published should be given as "in press", "submitted for publication" with the name of the journal, or "in preparation". Details of personal communications or unpublished results should be given as a reference, provided appropriate permission has been obtained from the Author(s), e.g.
5. A. Jones, personal communication, 1992.
Footnotes: Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the appropriate page and be indicated by superscript numbers: 1, 2, 3 etc.
Tables
All tables should be cited in the text, and numbered in order of appearance with Arabic numerals. The caption should appear on the line below the table number, e.g.
Table 1
This is the table caption
All table columns should have a brief explanatory heading and, where appropriate, units of measurement. Vertical lines should not be used. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table, each on a separate line, and should be referred to by superscript letters.
Artwork
Figures, schemes and equations must be cited in the text and numbered in order of appearance with Arabic numerals; fixed graphics should be placed at a particular position in the text but not specifically referenced. There is no need to specify reductions for figures; however, figures will generally be reduced in size before printing and any lettering should be sufficiently large (minimum height, 3-5 mm) to remain legible. Captions should not be included as part of the graphic; instead all captions should be supplied at the end of the text. All graphics must be labelled with the figure or scheme number, and the corresponding author's name. Where possible, please also supply graphics in electronic format, Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) or JPEG; charts and graphs (line art) should be 1000 dpi, photographs 300 dpi. min.
Graphics and photographs must NOT be embedded in the text file and should be submitted separately from the text file. Papers not complying with these instructions will be returned to authors for correction. Drawings made in WordPerfect or MS-Word, or embedded in the text file, generally have too low a resolution. Printed high quality hard copies of the figures must be provided in all cases.
Photographs: One original photograph should be supplied; please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour: Colour figures may be printed in the journal at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor considers the colour necessary to convey scientific information. Colour figures should be supplied in hard copy format, and if possible also in electronic format as PEG files (minimum 300 dots per inch).
Journal conventions
Nomenclature: It is strongly preferred that authors follow the recommendations of the IUPAC Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physico-chemical Quantities and Units, edited by IM Mills, Blackwell, Oxford, 1988.
If authors depart from these recommendations, articles may be returned for correction or corrected in the editorial office. In the latter case, no responsibility for errors can be assumed.
S.I. units should be used. "Equivalents" and "Normalities" should not be used.
Concentration should be denoted by the chemical formula in square brackets, or by lower case c. Units of concentration should be given as mol dm-3, M, mol L-1, etc.
Mixtures should be indicated by a plus sign, e.g. Zn + Cu, H2O + CH3OH etc.
Interfaces should be indicated by a vertical bar.
