Types of contributions
The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis publishes research papers, reviews and short communications. Research papers and reviews which cover any topics within the scope of the Journal are welcomed. Authors of reviews may want to check with one of the Editors prior to submission to make sure that the topic is appropriate for the Journal. Three categories of short communications may be considered. First, brief articles describing significant new pyrolysis concepts or applications may be submitted. For these the author(s) generally wishes to establish priority or seek rapid feedback from other investigators. It is usually expected that such articles will be followed by a full paper. Second, comments on papers that have appeared in the Journal may be submitted. In this case, the author(s) of the work being discussed will ordinarily be allowed to reply. Third, editorial reports of various kinds will be considered. These may include comments
- either technical or non-technical
- on various topics falling within the scope of the Journal, reports from pertinent conferences, or discussions on general topics of interest to readers of the Journal. Since short communications are of a timely nature, an effort will be made to expedite their editorial handling and publication.
Submission of papers
Manuscripts should be sent to one of the editors:
Dr. M. Blazs¨®, Research Laboratory of Materials and Environmental Chemistry, Chemical Research Center, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Pusztaszeri ut 59-67, H-1025 Budapest, Hungary,
or Professor K.J. Voorhees, Colorado School of Mines, Department of Chemistry, GOLDEN, CO 80401-1887, USA
Authors should submit three copies of the manuscript in double-spaced typing on one side of the paper using pages of uniform size. In any variety of machine copying is used (e.g. xerox), authors should sure that all copies are easily legible and that the paper used can be written on with both ink and pencil. Authors are advised to retain at least one of the manuscript. Manuscripts should be preceded by a sheet of paper carrying (a) the title of the paper, (b) the name and full postal address of the person to whom proofs are to be sent, (c) the number of pages, table and figures. The final copy of the manuscript should be accompanied by a diskette with electronic files exactly matching the hard copy. Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described has not be , and will not be, published elsewhere (except as an abstract or as part of a lecture, review or academic thesis). On acceptance of the manuscript, the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will sure the widest possible dissemination of information. The language of the journal is English.
Manuscripts
Authors are given every latitude, consistent with clarity and brevity, in the style and form of their papers. Useful advice is provided in the Handbook for Authors issued by the Chemical Society and American Chemical Society. Title and initial layout
All manuscripts should be headed by a concise but informative title. Since titles are widely used in information retrieval systems, care should be taken to include the keywords. The title is followed by the names of the authors, and the address of the laboratory where the work was carried out. The author to whom correspondence should be addressed must be indicated. If the present address of an author is different from that mentioned, it should be given in a footnote. Acknowledgements of financial support should not be made in a footnote, but should be included in the Acknowledgements at the end of the paper.
Abstract and keywords
Research papers and reviews begin with an abstract (50-250 words) which should comprise a brief factual account of the contents of the paper, with emphasis on new information. Abbreviations, jargon and reference numbers must not be used. The abstract should be suitable for use by abstracting services without rewriting. A list of suitable keywords should be provided.
Introduction
The introduction should contain accounts of the reasons for the work, any essential historical background (as briefly as possible and with key references only) and preliminary experimental work.
Experimental
The experimental methods and the materials used should be described after the introductory paragraphs. Detailed technical descriptions should be restricted to one section of the paper, and not scattered throughout the text. Sufficient information should be given to allow any reasonably experienced worker to carry out the procedure. Detailed descriptions of well-known techniques and equipment are unnecessary, as are simple preparations of reagents or solutions, and lists of common chemicals. In writing, complete sentences should be used.
Results and discussion
Preferably these should be treated together to avoid unnecessary repetition. Unsupported elaboration of hypotheses, and verbose exposition of ideas should be avoided. Chemical formulae should not be used in the text unless confusion is likely to arise from the use of names. Formulae may, however, be used for brevity in tables and figures. Calculations well known to specialists are necessary. Conclusions should be added only if needed for interpretation; they should not be used as extended summaries.
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements should be kept as short as possible, and placed at the conclusion of the text.
References
The references should be collected at the end of the paper, numbered in the order of their appearance in the text, and typed on a separate sheet. References given in tables should be numbered according to the position of the table in the text. Every reference listed must be cited in the text. Reference numbers in the text are set in square brackets on the line. In the list of references, periodicals [1], books [2], multi-author books [3], and proceedings [4] should be cited in accordance with the following examples:
1 A.T. James and A.J.P. Martin, Biochem. J., 50 (1952) 679.
2 L.R. Snyder, Principles of Adsorption Chromatography, Marcel Dekker, New York, 1968, p. 201.
3 R.D. Marshall and A. Neuberger, in A. Gottschalk (Ed.), Glycoproteins, Part A, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2nd edn., 1972, Chapter 3, p. 251.
4 R.H. Doremus, B.W. Roberts and D. Turnbull (Eds.), Growth and Preparation of Crystals, Proc. Int. Conf. Crystal Growth, Coopertown, NY, August 27-29, 1958, Wiley, New York, 1958.
Abbreviations for the titles of journals should follow the system used by Chemical Abstracts. Articles not yet published should be given as "in press" only if accepted for publication, otherwise unpublished articles should be referred to as "submitted for publication", "in preparation" or "personal communication", as appropriate. Titles of individual papers are unnecessary. Citing reports which are not widely available (e.g. reports from government research centres) should be avoided if possible. Authors' initials should not be used in the text. If the reference cited contains three or more names, only the first author's name followed by et al. (e.g. McDaniel et al.) should be used in the text; the reference list must contain the initials and names of all authors.
Tables
All tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals, and have brief descriptive headings; they should by typed on separate pages. Serious thought should be given to layout, so that the significance of the results is immediately apparent. Column headings should be brief. Experimental information which is relevant to all the results in the table is best given immediately under the heading. No column should contain the same number or unit throughout its length. Footnotes to tables are denoted by superscriptsa,b,c. The units used should be clearly stated. Confusion can arise from the use of powers in column headings. The following usage is recommended: e.g. if molar absorptivities are listed, the heading should be  (x104 l mol-1 cm-1) so that a number 2.32 in the column signifies 23,200.
Computer programs
Computer algorithms should be described clearly; a standard high-level programming language or a suitable algorithmic notation should be used as necessary. Complete program listings, however, are not normally admissible. Extensive flow charts should be avoided if the material can be equally well given in descriptive or tabular form. Statements on the portability of the software described to other computer systems, as well as its availability to interested readers, should be given.
Illustrations
The figures should be submitted in a form suitable for reproduction, drawn in Indian ink on drawing or tracing paper. One original (or sharp glossy print) and two photocopies are required. Attention should be given to line thickness, lettering (which should be kept to a minimum) and spacing on axes of graphs, in order to sure that numbers, etc., remain legible after reduction of the printing. Axes of a graph should be clearly labelled, along the axes, and outside the graph itself. Standard symbols should be used in line drawings; the following are available to the printers and can also be used in the legends:
omicron 
Simple straight-line graphs are not acceptable, because they can be readily described in the text, by means of an equation or a sentence. Explanatory information should not be placed in the figure, but in the legend. Photographs should have good contrast and intensity. Sharp, glossy photographs are required to obtain good halftones. Coloured illustrations are reproduced at the author's expense, the cost being determined by the number of pages and by the number of colours needed. If structures are given in the text, the original drawings should be provided. Computer outputs for reproduction as figures must be of good quality on blank paper, and should preferably be submitted as glossy prints. References to the illustrations should be included in appropriate places in the text using Arabic numerals. Each illustration should have a descriptive legend, all the legends being typed (with double spacing) together on a separate sheet. The written permission of the author and publisher must be obtained for the use of any figure already published. Its source must be indicated in the legend.
Nomenclature, symbols and abbreviations
In general, the recommendations of the international Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) should be followed, and attention should be given to the recommendations of the Analytical Chemistry Division in the journal Pure and Applied Chemistry. Contributions which report mass spectrometric results should follow the ``Recommendations for Symbolism and Nomenclature for Mass Spectrometry', Pure and Applied Chemistry, 50 (1978) 65-73. Symbols, formulae and equations should be written with great care, capitals and lower case letters being distinguished where necessary. Particular care should be taken in typing mathematical expressions containing superscripts and subscripts, and in proof-reading such equations. Unusual symbols employed for the first time should be defined by name in the left-hand margin. Abbreviations require definition when first used. Abbreviations for long chemical names (e.g. EDNA, HEDTA, TBAH, Tris), are useful, especially in equations, tables or figures. Basic SI units and other accepted metric nomenclature are given in the Appendix.
Compuscripts
Nowadays, most authors of scientific articles use word processors to prepare their manuscripts. Elsevier is therefore providing authors with the opportunity to submit their papers to the Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis on floppy disk, thereby allowing the text of the article to be fed directly into the typesetting computer. The advantages of this are clear: no typographical errors will be introduced into the text during the typesetting phase, and it is expected that eventually publication of the article will be faster.
- In order to distinguish between the traditional manuscript form and papers submitted on floppy disk, the latter will hereafter be referred to as ``compuscripts'. Articles prepared using any of the most popular word-processing packages are acceptable, but please note the following points.
1. Please follow the general instructions for style and organization of a manuscript as given above.
2. The disk should be formatted to be MS-DOS or Apple Macintosh compatible. If you can provide either of these, our preference is for the former. Format your 3.5' or 5.25' disk correctly and sure that only the relevant files are on the disk.
3. The text should be saved in the native format of the word processor used, e.g. Wordperfect, Microsoft Word, etc.
4. The names of the text files, the word processing package and version used, as well as the title of the article and the authors' names, should be indicated on the disk.
5. Accurate keyboard practice is essential, for instance, `one' (1) and `el' (l) should be clearly different. Be consistent. It is not important how you display titles, headings etc., as long as you do so in the same way throughout the entire manuscript. Present each grade of heading consistently.
6. Leave a blank line between each paragraph and between each try in the list of biliographic references.
7. Submit the original and three hardcopies of your manuscript together with the exactly-matching disk to one of the Editors. The hardcopies will be used for refereeing your article, and as a back-up in case the disk turns out to be unusable. Although most popular word-processor file formats are acceptable, we cannot guarantee the usability of all formats. If the disk you s d us proves to be unusable, we will typeset your article using the hardcopy printout, in order not to delay publication.
8. If your paper requires revision, the hardcopy, together with the disk, will be returned to you. These revisions must then be incorporated onto the disk. The revised disk, together with three hardcopies should then be resubmitted to the editor.
Proofs
One set of proofs will be sent to the author to be carefully checked for printer's errors. Corrections must be restricted to instances in which the proof is at variance with the manuscript. We shall be obliged to make a charge for all ``extra corrections' at a rate in accordance with their cost to us. Authors are requested to return the proofs within two weeks, to sure uninterrupted processing.
Reprints
Fifty reprints of original papers and short communications will be supplied free of charge. Additional reprints may be ordered by the authors. The order form containing price quotations will be sent to the author together with the proof of his article.
Subscription orders
Subscription orders should be sent to Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., Journal Department, P.O. Box 211, 1000 AE Amsterdam, The Netherlands, telephone 31-20-5803-642, fax 31-20-5803-598, or your subscription agent.
