Instructions to Authors
Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry (MRC) aims to publish high-quality papers which are concerned with the development and application of all magnetic resonance techniques.
All papers must be submitted via the online system. MRC operates an online submission and peer review system that allows authors to submit articles online and track their progress via a web interface. Please read the remainder of these instructions to authors and then click http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mrc to navigate to the MRC online submission site.
IMPORTANT: Please check whether you already have an account in the system before trying to create a new one. If you have reviewed or authored for the journal in the past year it is likely that you will have created an account.
File types. Preferred formats for the text and tables of your manuscript are .doc, .rtf, .ppt, .xls. LaTeX files may be submitted provided that an .eps or .pdf file is provided in addition to the source files. Figures may be provided in .tiff or .eps format.
Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as a .doc file type. If you try to upload a Word 2007 document in Manuscript Central you will be prompted to save .docx files as.doc files.
INITIAL SUBMISSION
NON-LATEX USERS: Editable source files must be uploaded at this stage. Tables must be on separate pages after the reference list, and not be incorporated into the main text. Figures should be uploaded as separate figure files.
LATEX USERS: For reviewing purposes you should upload a single .pdf that you have generated from your source files. You must use the File Designation "Main Document" from the dropdown box.
REVISION SUBMISSION
NON-LATEX USERS: Editable source files must be uploaded at this stage. Tables must be on separate pages after the reference list, and not be incorporated into the main text. Figures should be uploaded as separate figure files.
LATEX USERS: When submitting your revision you must still upload a single .pdf that you have generated from your now revised source files. You must use the File Designation "Main Document" from the dropdown box. In addition you must upload your TeX source files. For all your source files you must use the File Designation "Supplemental Material not for review". Previous versions of uploaded documents must be deleted. If your manuscript is accepted for publication we will use the files you upload to typeset your article within a totally digital workflow.
Authors must sign, scan and upload to the online system:
- a Copyright Transfer Agreement with original signature(s) - without this we are unable to accept the submission, and
- permission grants - if the manuscript contains extracts, including illustrations, from other copyright works (including material from on-line or intranet sources) it is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from the owners of the publishing rights to reproduce such extracts using the Wiley Permission Request Form.
The Copyright Transfer Form and the Permissions Form should be uploaded as “Supplementary files not for review” with the online submission of your article.
If you do not have access to a scanner, further instructions will be given to you after acceptance of the manuscript.
To enable the publisher to disseminate the author's work to the fullest extent, the author must sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement, transferring copyright in the article from the author to the publisher, and submit the original signed agreement with the article presented for publication. Submission of a manuscript will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere at the same time. Submitted material will not be returned to the author, unless specifically requested
Papers must be in English. Oxford English Dictionary or American spelling is acceptable, provided usage is consistent within the manuscript.
Manuscripts that are written in English that is ambiguous or incomprehensible, in the opinion of the Editor, will be returned to the authors with a request to resubmit once the language issues have been improved. This policy does not imply that all papers must be written in "perfect" English, whatever that may mean. Rather, the criterion will require that the intended meaning of the authors must be clearly understandable, i.e., not obscured by language problems, by referees who have agreed to review the paper.
Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. Japanese authors can also find a list of local English improvement services at http://www.wiley.co.jp/journals/editcontribute.html. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
Manuscript style. Use a standard font of the 12-point type: Times, Helvetica, or Courier is preferred. It is not necessary to double-line space your manuscript.
- During the submission process you must enter 1) the full title 2) the short title of up to 70 characters 3) names and affiliations of all authors and 4) the full address, including email, telephone and fax of the author who is to check the proofs.
- Include the name(s) of any sponsor(s) of the research contained in the paper, along with grant number(s).
- Enter an abstract of no more than 250 words for all articles. Please see the guidance below on acceptable abstract writing for MRC.
- Keywords. Authors should include up to ten keywords that describe the paper for indexing purposes. The first keyword should classify the work in general (NMR, ESR, NQR). The next keywords (up to three) should give the nuclei used in the study (e.g. 1H, 13C, 15N). Up to six additional keywords should characterise the work more closely, including (where relevant) the class of compounds investigated
- Tables must be on separate pages after the reference list, and not be incorporated into the main text.
- Figures should be uploaded as separate figure files.
- Acknowledgments are placed at the end of the text preceding the references and should be brief.
For clarity, all types of submission should be divided into sections, e.g. Introduction, Results, Discussion, Experimental. However, the title of the sections and their ordering is left to the author’s discretion as to which affords the greatest clarity.
An abstract is a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions. The abstract should be no more than 250 words and convey the following:
1. An introduction to the work. This should be accessible by scientists in any field and express the necessity of the experiments executed
2. Some scientific detail regarding the background to the problem
3. A summary of the main result
4. The implications of the result
5. A broader perspective of the results, once again understandable across scientific disciplines
It is crucial that the abstract convey the importance of the work and be understandable without reference to the rest of the manuscript to a multidisciplinary audience. Abstracts should not contain any citation to other published works.
References should be cited by superior numbers and listed at the end of the paper in the order in which they appear in the text. Authors should generally cite available published work, but if it is necessary to cite unpublished work, publications in press or personal communications, sufficient detail should be given for the reader to be able to follow up such a reference. References should be listed in the following style:

A suitable style file for use with the EndNote® program is available at www.interscience.wiley.com/jendnotes/
Upload each figure as a separate file in either .tiff or .eps format, with the figure number and the top of the figure indicated. Compound figures e.g. 1a, b, c should be uploaded as one figure. Tints are not acceptable. Lettering must be of a reasonable size that would still be clearly legible upon reduction, and consistent within each figure and set of figures. Where a key to symbols is required, please include this in the artwork itself, not in the figure legend. All illustrations must be supplied at the correct resolution:
- Black and white and colour photos - 300 dpi
- Graphs, drawings, etc - 800 dpi preferred; 600 dpi minimum
- Combinations of photos and drawings (black and white and colour) - 500 dpi
Tables should be part of the the main document and should be placed after the references. If the table is created in excel the file should be uploaded separately.
Chemical structures should be prepared in ChemDraw either 80mm (one column) or 175mm (two column) widths. However, the one-column format should be used whenever possible as this allows greater flexibility in the layout of the manuscript. Use this ChemDraw Download or use the following settings:

Authors using different structural drawing programs should choose settings consistent with those above. Compound numbers should be bold, but not atom labels or captions.
MRC’s table of contents will be presented in graphical form with a brief abstract.
The table of contents entry must include the article title, the authors' names (with the corresponding author indicated by an asterisk), no more than 80 words or three sentences of text summarising the key findings presented in the paper and a figure that best represents the scope of the paper (see the section on abstract writing for more guidance).
Table of contents entries should be submitted to Manuscript Central in one of the generic file formats and uploaded as ‘Supplementary material for review’ during the initial manuscript submission process.
The figure should fit into a box no more than 105 mm wide by 60 mm high, and be fully legible at this size.
Examples for arranging the text and figures as well as paper title and authors' names are shown below.
When the use of colour in the printed journal is considered scientifically necessary by the Editors, the costs of colour reproduction may be waived. For reviews, all costs for colour illustrations will be waived; for other submissions, two colour illustrations per article will be printed free of charge and each additional colour illustration will be charged at a fixed tariff to the author. In the online version of the journal there is no limit to the number of colour illustrations permitted. Authors should be aware that for a significant number of people the colours red and green are difficult to differentiate and so these colours should not be used to create contrast.
To include the DOI in a citation to an article, simply append it to the reference as in the following example:
R. K. Harris, A. Nordon, K. D. M. Harris, Rapid. Commun. Mass Spec. 2007, DOI: 10.1002/rcm.21464.
To link to an article from the author’s homepage, take the DOI (digital object identifier) and append it to "http://dx.doi.org/" as per following example:
DOI 10.1002/mrc.2522, becomes http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mrc.2522.
Authors may submit supplementary material alongside their manuscript. This facility should be used for data or results which are too detailed or lengthy to appear in the printed journal, but which might nevertheless be of interest to other researchers. On acceptance of the manuscript the supplementary material will be made available on the MRC website, and an indication that additional material is available will be included in the printed paper.
The nomenclature, symbols and abbreviations adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) must be used for chemical terminology and compound names. Well-established trivial names may be used. Atom numberings should follow the generally accepted rules and should be indicated in a formula scheme. If, for any reason, the authors choose to change the numbering scheme, this should be explained in the text and the accepted numbering must also be given.
All abbreviations and acronyms should be defined the first time they are used unless they are in such common use as to make such definitions superfluous. A list of common abbreviations and acronyms which do not need to be defined is maintained below. Terms such as PMR and CMR are not acceptable: to avoid ambiguity use 1H NMR, 13C NMR. “Multinuclear NMR” is unacceptable and should be written as “Multinuclear magnetic resonance”.
Despite their continued use in the literature, the use of the historic terms such as “upfield” and “downfield” are not acceptable in this journal; alternative terms such as “low-frequen¬cy/high-frequency” or “shielding/deshielding” should be used instead. In 13C NMR data the number of hydrogen atoms attached to carbons should not be indicated by multiplicities (s, d, t, q) but as C, CH, CH2, or CH3.
The Experimental section should be precise, and give all details necessary to repeat the work. For solution-state NMR the relevant ASTM Standard, ASTM E386 - 90(2004), should be followed (see www.astm.org). Where new compounds are discussed, they must be fully characterized in the normal manner including spectral data other than NMR. In the case of natural products the source (e.g. the organism), the isolation procedure and a specimen deposit should be noted.
For NMR spectra, all shifts should be given on the delta scale in ppm, high-frequency shifts being denoted as more positive values. Both 1H and 13C shifts should be referenced to internal tetramethylsilane (TMS). Isotope shifts may be given in ppb. All J values should be expressed in Hz.
The following spectral details should be provided: nucleus and frequency (MHz); instrument; solvent and concentration (mg ml−1 or mmol ml−1); reference standard; temperature; pulse conditions; computer processing techniques; accuracy of parameters. Where spectral data are reported, the digital resolution must be cited, preferable in terms of spectral widths and the sizes of the data tables.
Routine two-dimensional experiments should be described by literature references as far as possible and/or by referring to standard pulse sequences and parameters provided by the spectrometer manufacturers. Where novel two-dimensional techniques are used the following details should be provided: pulse sequence including all flip angles, all delay values, and full phase cycling (preferably in tabular form); spectral widths in f1 and f2; number of t1 increments; number of data points measured per increment; number of transients acquired per increment; weighting functions (if any) in t1 and t2; data matrix size after Fourier transformation; data presentation mode (phase sensitive, absolute value, etc.); total duration of experiment. Further details should be given where appropriate.
For continuous wave EPR spectra the following details should be provided: frequency/band; instrument; field range/centre field; field sweep rate; sample phase or solvent used; temperature; modulation amplitude; modulation frequency; microwave power. For pulse EPR the relevant additional parameters should be given. Where EPR spin-Hamiltonian parameters are extracted from spectra by simulation methods, the software used should be specified, along with the parameters, such as linewidths and lineshapes, used in the analysis.
Relevant papers in recent issues of the journal should be inspected in case of doubt.
Signal assignments, and the evidence on which they are based, should appear once only in the manuscript, for example in the text, in a figure or in a table. Such assignments should only be discussed in the text where they are crucial to the conclusions being drawn. Data from routine NMR experiments should not be described in detail but presented in tables or figures. The attention of authors is drawn to the fact that tabulated data are more suitable for electronic searching than are data presented in figures.
All schemes, figures and spectra should be supplied at the intended size for printing i.e. either 85 mm wide if the figure is to span one column, or 176 mm wide if the figure is to span the entire page. Lettering must be of a size that will be clearly legible and must be consistent within each figure and across all of the figures in the submission. For figures drawn at full size lettering of between 8 pt and 10 pt is suitable. Where a key to symbols is required, please include this in the artwork itself, not in the figure legend. Extraneous information, such as the authors’ names, figure captions or other text should not be included within the figure; the figure captions should be part of the main text. Unless they are essential to distinguishing different elements within the same figure, boxes and frames should not be drawn around figures or graphs.
If it is necessary to scan spectra in order to produce a diagram, authors should be aware that only high-quality and high-contrast originals are likely to produce acceptable results; the scanning resolution must be set to at least 600 dpi.
The journal accepts four kinds of submissions:
Research Papers: these describe the results of a particular research project, the development of new techniques, or the application of such new techniques.
Rapid Communications: these describe particularly novel results or methods which merit rapid publication. Such papers will be significantly shorter than Research Papers, typically covering two pages in the printed journal.
MRC Letters: these describe results of a more limited scope which are nevertheless novel and of interest to those using magnetic resonance methods. Examples of material which might be appropriate for this type of publication include: compilations of experimental data from less-common nuclei, compilations of experimental data on new or unusual families of compounds, unusual spectral features, experimental data on new chemical skeletons, use of theoretical or computational predictions alongside experimental data. Note that papers whose major emphasis is on phytochemical or synthetic aspects, but which do not satisfy the above criteria, will not be acceptable. The use of this section for the fragmentation of publications is strongly discouraged. MRC Letters are normally expected to cover about four printed pages in the journal (corresponding to about fifteen double-spaced pages of manuscript).
Authors wishing to submit a manuscript for consideration as an MRC Letter must explain, in an accompanying letter, how their work satisfies the above criteria and why publication is justified. Submissions which are not accompanied by such a letter of justification will be rejected without review. Initially, one of the editors will assess the suitability of the submission, and if it is determined that the manuscript is not suitable it will be rejected without further review.
Reviews: Full and comprehensive reviews are welcome, as are shorter reviews or accounts of recent developments in a particular field. Prior consultation with one of the Editors is advised before submitting a review.
Pursuant to NIH mandate, Wiley–Blackwell will post the accepted version of contributions authored by NIH grant-holders to PubMed Central upon acceptance. This accepted version will be made publicly available 12 months after publication. For further information, see www.wiley.com/go/nihmandate.
For accepted manuscripts the publisher will supply proofs to the submitting author prior to publication. This stage is to be used only to correct errors that may have been introduced during the production process. Prompt return of the corrected proofs, preferably within two days of receipt, will minimise the risk of the paper being held over to a later issue. Twenty-five complimentary offprints will be provided to the author who checked the proofs, unless otherwise indicated. Further offprints and copies of the journal may be ordered. There is no page charge to authors.
