About the journal
Aims and Scope
Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications is primarily devoted to original research papers, but also publishes review articles, editorials, and letter to the editor in the general field of bioinorganic chemistry and its applications. Its scope includes all aspects of bioinorganic chemistry, including bioorganometallic chemistry and applied bioinorganic chemistry. The journal welcomes papers relating to metalloenzymes and model compounds, metal-based drugs, biomaterials, biocatalysis and bioelectronics, metals in biology and medicine, metals toxicology and metals in the environment, metal interactions with biomolecules and spectroscopic applications.
Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
Submission
Manuscripts are invited and should be submitted by one of the authors of the manuscript through the online Manuscript Tracking System. Regardless of the source of the word-processing tool, only electronic PDF (.pdf) or Word (.doc, .docx, .rtf) files can be submitted through the MTS. There is no page limit. Only online submissions are accepted to facilitate rapid publication and minimize administrative costs. Submissions by anyone other than one of the authors will not be accepted. The submitting author takes responsibility for the paper during submission and peer review. If for some technical reason submission through the MTS is not possible, the author can contact bca@hindawi.com for support.
Terms of Submission
Papers must be submitted on the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture, review, or thesis) and are not currently under consideration by another journal published by Hindawi or any other publisher. The submitting author is responsible for ensuring that the article's publication has been approved by all the other coauthors. It is also the authors' responsibility to ensure that the articles emanating from a particular institution are submitted with the approval of the necessary institution. Only an acknowledgment from the editorial office officially establishes the date of receipt. Further correspondence and proofs will be sent to the author(s) before publication unless otherwise indicated. It is a condition of submission of a paper that the authors permit editing of the paper for readability. All enquiries concerning the publication of accepted papers should be addressed to bca@hindawi.com.
Peer Review
All manuscripts are subject to peer review and are expected to meet standards of academic excellence. Submissions will be considered by an associate editor and—if not rejected right away—by peer-reviewers, whose identities will remain anonymous to the authors.
Article Processing Charges
Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications is an open access journal. Open access charges allow publishers to make the published material available for free to all interested online visitors. For more details about the article processing charges of Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications, please visit the Open Access information page.
Manuscript Format:
I) Submitted Manuscripts
Submitted manuscripts should be typed in clear, grammatical, idiomatic English. Abbreviations should be spelled out at their first occurrence. Units of measurement should be presented simply and concisely using System International (SI) units.
II) Accepted Manuscripts
Accepted manuscripts must be supplied in TeX or Microsoft Word formats and must include the following sections:
Title and authorship information
The following information should be included
- Paper title
- Full author names
- Full institutional mailing addresses
- Email addresses
Abstract
The abstract section should be self-contained and citation-free and should not exceed 150 words.
Introduction
This section should be succinct, with no subheadings.
Acknowledgments
All acknowledgments (if any) should be included at the very end of the paper before the references and may include supporting grants, presentations, and so forth.
References
Authors are responsible for ensuring that the information in each reference is complete and accurate. All references must be numbered consecutively and citations of references in text should be identified using numbers in square brackets (e.g., “as discussed by Smith [9]? “as discussed elsewhere [9, 10]?. All references should be cited within the text; otherwise, these references will be automatically removed.
Preparation of Figures
Each figure should be supplied in a separate electronic file. All figures should be cited in the paper in a consecutive order. Each figure is subject to resizing to fit into the column's width of (80 mm) or the full text width (165mm) for consistency and clarity. The labels of the figures are also subject to resizing to be of minimum 8pt according to journals in-house specifications.
Electronically supplied figures are acceptable in the following formats:
- Vector art figures:
Illustrator (EPS, WMF), FreeHand, and CorelDraw are preferable formats. Also, Microsoft Office files (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) are acceptable.
- Bitmap images:
Photoshop TIFF is preferable. Also, GIF, and JPEG formats are acceptable.
Bitmap images should be of 300 dpi resolution at least. This is not applicable only if the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If Bitmap images have labels, it is recommended to be embedded in a separate layer.
Preparation of Tables
Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Vertical rules should not be used.
Proofs
Corrected proofs must be returned to the publisher within 2-3 days of receipt. The publisher will do everything possible to ensure prompt publication. It will therefore be appreciated if the manuscripts and figures conform from the outset to the style of the journal.
