Submission of Manuscripts
International Journal of Coal Preparation and Utilization receives all manuscript submissions electronically via their ScholarOne Manuscripts website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/GCOP. ScholarOne Manuscripts allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform. For ScholarOne Manuscripts technical support, you may contact them by e-mail or phone support via http://scholarone.com/services/support/.
Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted for publication elsewhere.

All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.
All parts of the manuscript should be double-spaced with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of 100 words or less--avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and references to the text. Authors are strongly encouraged to have the grammar in their manuscripts reviewed by their college English Departments or by a professional copyeditor before submitting manuscripts to the journal.

Illustrations
Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:
- 300 dpi or higher
- sized to fit on journal page
- EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only
- submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files
Tables and Figures
Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files.

All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number, author's name, and top edge indicated.
References
Identify references in the text by arabic numerals in brackets, and number consecutively in the Reference Section in order of their first mention. References follow Chicago Manual of Style and should include: names of all contributing authors (last names first); title of article; title of journal (abbreviated according to Chemical Abstracts) or book; volume number; location and name of publishing company (books only); inclusive pages; year of publication.
