Submission of Manuscripts
Authors wishing to publish review articles in the Journal should send their manuscripts to one of the two Executive Editors. Completed manuscripts will be considered for publication, but intending authors may also submit summaries of proposed articles.
Preparation of the Text
Authors are urgently requested, in their own interest (to guarantee speedy publication), to ensure they comply carefully with these recommendations.
1. Contributions should be submitted in duplicate, printed on A4 paper and on one side only, with an ample margin of not less than 1 inch (2.5cm) on the left-hand side, and with double spacing between lines. All pages should be numbered consecutively. Spelling should follow the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary or, in the case of American authors, Webster's New International Dictionary. The author should retain one copy of the manuscript both on paper and diskette. Only one set of original illustrations need be supplied (see below).
2. SI units should be used.
3. Tables and captions for the illustrations should be listed at the end of the manuscript, but an indication should be given where the tables and illustrations should appear in the text.
4. Abbreviations for units should follow the SI system. For abbreviations of names of techniques and methods always use capitals and no full stops, e.g. NMR, GLC, IR, CNDO.
5. Electronic manuscripts: Electronic manuscripts (compuscripts) have the advantage that there is no need for the re-keying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors, and allow reliable and fast delivery of proofs. For the initial submission of manuscripts for consideration, hard copies are sufficient. For the processing of accepted papers, electronic versions are required. After final acceptance, a disk plus two final and exactly matching printed versions should be submitted together. Double density (DD) or high density (HD) diskettes (3.5 or 5.25 inch) are acceptable. It is important that the file saved is in the native format of the word-processor program used. Label the disk with the name of the computer type (IBM-compatible/Macintosh) and word-processing package (including the version number) used, your name, and the name of the file on the disk. In typing, take special care to discriminate between zero (0) and the letter O, and between one (1) and the letter l. Further information may be obtained from the publisher.
Formulae
1. Formulae should be generated by the word-processor if possible. Leave ample space around the formulae.
2. Subscripts and superscripts should be clearly indicated. Where possible, use the formatting capabilities of your word-processor to generate these.
3. Greek letters and other non-Latin or handwritten symbols should be explained in the margin where they are first used.
4. Give the meanings of all symbols immediately after the equation in which they are first used.
5. For simple fractions use the solidus(/) instead of a horizontal.
6. Equations should be numbered sequentially (on the right-hand side of the equation and in parentheses). In general, only equations explicitly referred to in the text need to be numbered.
7. The use of fractional powers instead of root signs is recommended. Also powers of "e" are often more conveniently denoted by exp.
Headings
Section titles must be in bold typeface, sub-section headings in italics. Text references should appear as:
Fig. 1
Table 2
Eq. (26)
Section, Appendix start with capitals.
Sections and sub-sections should be identified with arabic numbers (not roman numerals or letters) e.g. Section 3.1.2.
Illustrations
1. Line drawings and photographs for reproduction must be kept entirely separate from the text and should never be stuck on to the typescript. They should be clearly labelled with figure number and author's name so that they can easily be identified. Captions should be listed separately, as already stated, but they may be duplicated beneath the illustration for identification purposes.
2. Line drawings and graphs submitted ready for direct reproduction should be drawn with care, particular attention being paid to the effect of reduction on the size of lettering and lines. Large lettering in capital letters on very small numbers in the same illustration, for example, will result in illegible numbers in the final printed version.
It is best to prepare drawings at twice the final size required, which will normally be no wider than 75 mm (single column) or 160 mm (full width), (simple diagrams and graphs can, of course, be much smaller). Line diagrams intended to fit "landscape' on a page may be wider up to 200 mm (8 inches) in final size, but in this case will be no more than 130 mm (5 inches) deep.
Units should be given in a consistent form throughout.
3. Photographs should be submitted as glossy prints showing good contrast. Photographs which are to be reproduced without reduction should have an indication to this effect clearly marked on the back, but it should be noted that the limitations of the page printed area should be taken as 160mm wide by 185mm deep. This allows room for a caption of three or four lines; if a longer caption is necessary, an adjustment must be made accordingly. Care should be taken to write lightly on the backs of photographs.
4. Reproduction of colour figures will generally be charged to the author. Authors are asked to contact the relevant Editor to discuss whether colour reproduction charges will be incurred.
References
References should appear in the text in square brackets, e.g. . . . measurements on a number of compounds have shown [1, 2, 40-50] that . . .
The references should be numbered sequentially as they appear in the text, collected together at the end of the article, and in the form,
[20] N. Boden, J. W. Emsley, J. Feeney and L. H. Sutcliffe, Mol. Phys., 8 (1964) 133.
[21] D. Terpstra and G. C. Levy, in G. C. Levy and D. Terpstra (Eds.), Computer Networks in the Chemical Laboratory, John Wiley, New York, 1980, p. 1.
Journal titles must be abbreviated in the form appropriate for Chemical Abstracts. |
