Manuscript Template
The manuscript template for SYNTHESIS and SYNLETT is provided to ease both manuscript preparation for authors and the reviewing process for referees. Although it is not compulsory, authors are strongly encouraged to use the manuscript template. By doing so, authors will be able to insert and arrange figures, schemes, and tables within the text. Slight deviations to the layout may occur during the in-house production process, but the print preview of the manuscript template provides a very close representation of the final published document.

How to use the template
Before using the template, be sure to read the Instructions for Authors for the appropriate journal (listed above under downloads). Please also consult a recent issue of the journal to see the actual format of the publication and the layout of the particular article type.
After the template is properly installed, open Word and create a new document based on the template (SynthesisSynlett.dot). A dialog box listing the different manuscript types appears, one of these must be selected in order to continue. Detailed instructions, including guidelines for the type of text, graphics, or data required in different sections, are provided in the sample document of the chosen manuscript type.
Once the article type is selected, the template is ready for use. It is important that all settings (page setup, line spacing, font type and size, etc.) within the template be left unchanged.
On the left-hand side of the toolbar, there is a menubar called paragraph style, showing the full range of styles available in the template. These styles can be used to assign specific styles in the manuscript. When the document view is Normal, the assigned styles show up in the left hand margin as they are selected. Please do not use any styles that do not appear in the paragraph style drop-down list, as they will not be readable by our production software.
The template contains additional icons on the toolbar. These icons should be used to facilitate the insertion of tables, figures, schemes and equations, and to ensure the correct representation of symbols (i.e. Greek letters, mathematical symbols) independent of the language settings of the computer or software. Please use only these icons when inserting symbols.
Be sure to delete all unnecessary paragraphs and image placement guidelines provided in the sample manuscript before saving the final document as a .doc file. The filename should be changed from the default template name in order to clearly identify the manuscript.
How to submit
All manuscripts prepared using the template should be saved in PDF format, this ensures that the integrity of the file is maintained. We actively encourage all authors to convert manuscripts into PDF format; this will also result in a more efficient submission process. Adobe Acrobat (full version) is required to convert files into PDF format. In addition there are a number of free PDF writers available on the Internet, the links to which are given below:
The PDF file of the manuscript must be submitted by e-mail to the appropriate regional editor together with an accompanying letter. This PDF document is only used for peer-reviewing whereas the original documents are used for all further production steps. Therefore, after acceptance of the manuscript the final Word and graphic files must be sent to the regional editor. |
